[@Lumiere] [@Lyla] [@Camey] Beaming, Effie couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as the android accepted her request. Now this, this was the sort of information she wanted to digest. Not the old, sermonized literature her predecessor had been teaching her. She flipped a page in her notebook and immediately started scribbling a few things down. [color=#00868B][b]"Awesome. Looking forward to it!"[/b][/color]. Effie was giddy with excitement as her brain worked through a few simple theories she could explore. It was nice to finally have another real subject she could examine. Suddenly a small, chirping voice cut through their conversation. A creature Effie had never seen before was holding out a handful of coins to the waitress. It was small and animalistic, yet strangely humanoid. The whirring and clicking that could often be heard silently around Effie intensified as she searched her database for some indication of what the creature could be. [i]Bunny x Human. Humanoid Animals. Animal/Human Splicing.[/i] She couldn't come up with anything other than a few superficial articles about genetically spliced animals using trace sources of human dna and one article that cried about conspiracies to create animal/human hybrids for military purposes. She read one paragraph of that article before dismissing it as complete insanity. By the time she had finished her frantic, internal search the waitress has left to attend to another customer leaving Effie alone with the creature. [color=#00868B][b]"Hello. My name is Effie. Would you care to sit down?"[/b][/color] Part of her request was mannerly however most was due to her intense need to know more. At the same time she was gesturing to the creature, another humanoid caught her attention. [color=#00868B][b]"Nez!"[/b][/color] She exclaimed happily as the familiar face seated herself across from her. [color=#00868B][b]"I didn't know you were here."[/b][/color]. Effie chuckled a bit, habitually tucking her hair behind her ear as Nez pointed out the conversation she had just had with the waitress. [color=#00868B][b]"You saw that huh? That's embarrassing I hope too many people didn't notice."[/b][/color]. She looked around but it seemed like the rest of the bar was not as observant as Nez. [color=#00868B][b]"Well, the waitress is an android too! I mean, you probably noticed, but she agreed to have an interview later for my essays. I would like to learn more about how AI works. And how we can use the physicality of androids to aid humanity well sort of like me."[/b][/color] Often Effie rambled when she was discussing her work, especially when it made her as excited as this. Her skin was covered in goosebumps and her heart hammered a little faster as she thought. [color=#00868B][b]"Sorry, I'm rambling. I met this, uh, person just a few minutes ago. Sorry,"[/b][/color] she addressed the humanoid again, [color=#00868B][b]"What is your name?"[/b][/color]
