got a question.

what's interest in, say, custom ai personality builds?
i'm talking datable, though only over text for now.
won't net you any chroma, but if you need practice talking to people or just want to chat up a certain personality type.
can't say i'd be able to provide right away, because all my previous work is back home.
starting from scratch is going to take a while.
i need a baseline to tweak with specifics.
couple months maybe.
they'd adapt to your responses, of course.
just like with an organic person.
with enough time and resources, i could work on up to robotics again.
start marketing body types.
date your digital beau in person.
no skin off my nose if you get attached, neither.
ain't my business once they're out of my hands.
unless you coach them to be real murder-y or some shit.
or if you fuck up enough they reject you and you ain't takin' no for an answer, paid personality or not.
then i might take some exception to that.

point is i'm trying to gauge if this is going to be a fun side project or if i need to take it more seriously.

you think an astronaut fucking cares if an alien they find is a dude or a chick, dave?
who gives a shit, that's prime alien ass.
it ain't gay.
it's cultural sharing.
guess i could see how the alien dick would be a deal breaker.

[ a pause. ???????????? ]

how the fuck would i know if she was gay.
you think i go around polling people?
gay still ain't genetic, dumbass.

[ THEY DIDN'T FUCK, DAVID. ]

not sure yet.
got to do market research first.
the more complicated, the more expensive.

[itsknighttime]

im not going to james tiberius kirk on karkat
i mean hes not ugly or anything im not saying that
like if i was into guys hed be attractive
im just saying
i probably wouldnt

[[Probably.]]

im just asking
i thought maybe youd know
you knew her right?

yea i figured
just asking for the future
not that i need help just if
you know i get bored from all the pussy

[broyonce]

he gets real fuckin' flustered if you call him cute.
anyway that don't matter.

[ WHEN DID YOU... CALL HIM CUTE... DIRK????????? ]

we knew each other but we didn't talk about our sex lives.
in fact i'm done with this part of the conversation.
about any sex lives.

[ anyway joke's on both of them all strilondes are fucking gay. or at least bisexual. dave and roxy are the bi ones. dirk and rose are gay as shit.

anyway. ]

so bored of organic you turn to robots.
impressive.

[itsknighttime]

um it matters
did you or did you not just admit to calling my best friend cute

[[Dave ventures at every turn. Karkat is god damn adorable.]]

nah im not asking about her sex life im just curious you know?
shes technically my mom and i never met her
you did so youre all i got to ask
i mean if you dont know something im not pressing it just curious

[[He's met a few people, aliens, here that showed him how important family can be and now he's got a curious about his family. And. It detracts from the gay.]]

oh
fuck yeah man like
reason im in here is i get mauled going out

[broyonce]

why does it matter, dave?
i'll call your best friend whatever i want.

[ hey this just in: dirk strider's a fucking cunt. ]

yeah i got no fucking idea.
we weren't super close.
but you can know that you got "being a fucking mess" in your genetics.

[ like he's not a mess. but roxy? phew. messy. ]

of course.
the old strider charm.

[ can you hear his deadpan incredulity, you fucking nerd. ]

[itsknighttime]

it doesnt
i mean it does
you cant just hit on him
that goes against the code

[[The code that Dave just made up.]]

oh okay thats fair
now i know where i get it from
before she was a drunken mess she was nice though right?
i know you JUST fuckin said you werent close i just...

[[Am curious. He really wants to know.]]

hell yeah
theres a couple girls that want to have me over to cook
and if i know the anime i was subjected to
and i know the anime i was subjected to alright
were like two episodes away from the redemption arc and four away from the confession

[broyonce]

what code?
there's no code.
if you're just friends that means there's no problem with me being the one to go james tiberius kirk, to use your phrasing.
as for her...
nice.
smart.
too into booze.
not really my type.

[ what... what is your type dude ]

you need a redemption arc already?

[itsknighttime]

yes there is
theres totally a code that your bro doesnt try to bone your best friend

oh ok
[[It's coming.]]
so who is your type
[[So he can find them and get him off of Karkat's scent.]]

probably i got busy
[[Read as he got scared.]]
and havent talked to her for a while

[broyonce]

there isn't.
you're just making that up.
can't bullshit a bullshitter.

[ a pause. mmmmm. ]

just ain't into blondes is all.

[ that's suspiciously vague but ok dude don't name anyone in particular you like ]

don't be a fucking dumbass, cassanova.
talk to her before the timeline stretches out too far and she bails.

[itsknighttime]

there is but i cant blame you since you didnt know
now that you do you can stop trying to bang my best friend

speaking of not banging my best friend
thats too bad cause theres this real hot chick like your age
you should meet her
not just because i dont want you serving beef franks to the alien bff
but cause shes fuckin awesome i think i mentioned her before

[[But.]]
