First time being active on the network here but I have been lurking quite a bit since I arrived. Thought I might find an answer to my question by doing so but my searches didn't turn up any hits sooo...yeah.

Anyway, here's the query:

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on Goldfish crackers? Specifically the flavour Piping Hot-t-t-t Fishies. They don't have to be that flavour, but they're my roomba's favourite.

_{[Wait...what? Did he just say roomba? Sure did.]}

Oh, and the crackers themselves look like this.

Pascal never used to be this picky but I guess that's on me since I'm the one who programmed him. Anyway, thanks for your time.

Er, maybe don't use the robot word. It's kind of offensive. Robot implies the opposite of sentient, honestly.

YoRHa No.9 Type S - or 9S for short; I'm an artificial lifeform, built in the image of man to protect mankind. I'm full of metal inside but on the outside you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I'm sentient, have feelings (too many if you ask some people) and free will.

[codecmoment]

Sorry, I didn't know. But now I do!
So you'll blend right in with all the humans and other human-like or not human at all people here.
Wow... I can't believe it.
I make machines but they're not autonomous or sentient.

[callmenines]

It's okay, I'm used to it.
Oh you do? That's pretty cool, honestly. I like building things too.
I mean, as long as you promise you won't try to take me apart or something I wouldn't mind meeting with you?

[codecmoment]

Gosh, no. But if you ever feel uncomfortable, just say something -- I'm an awkward nerd of a guy, so it might just be how I am when I get excited. But I promise. At most, my questions might get a bit invasive? But... you're a person and that would be wrong. Like any kind of biological surgeon going, huh, cool, magical people, time to cut them open on the first date!

[callmenines]

Well that makes two of us. I'm an awkward nerd of a guy too. I'm sure I'll have questions for you too. Humans are fascinating to me.

[codecmoment]

Do you not interact with them much?
I'll do what I can, I guess.
An exchange, of sorts!

[callmenines]

Well, I'm more used to it now but where I'm originally from the Earth was devoid of humanity. Also I've got a curiosity problem.
An exchange sounds good to me.

[codecmoment]

... wow.
We did it to ourselves, I bet.

[callmenines]

Not exactly? Alien beings invaded the planet and created Machine lifeforms to threaten humanity. As a response to this YoRHa Androids were specifically built to reclaim Earth for mankind.

[codecmoment]

That was absolutely not what I expected.
Unless you're messing with me.

[callmenines]

Trust me I wish I was.

[codecmoment]

Well, okay.
There's some weird people here to begin with.
And I've seen some bizarre things myself.
So... yeah. Okay.

[callmenines]

Sorry...my uh, 'backstory' if you want to call it that isn't very nice to hear.
What bizarre stuff have you seen? I feel bizarre ends up being relative.

[codecmoment]

Neither is mine, don't worry.
Here? People who are human personifications of countries.
Back home, probably the telekinetic guy. Or the woman with so much luck no bullet could hit her.

[callmenines]

Wish I was that lucky.
