( When he does give in and takes her hand, she reaches to cup his elbow and keeps ahold of him long enough to see him steady to his feet and check him over for any injuries, but the virtual world is a bit kinder to them than the real one with headsets off. The chroma, however, still feels quite real. Curious. A trick of the sensors, or perhaps they'd ended up really touching? She'd thought she was sitting down, but that may no longer be the case. )
My, so you are from Australia? That's not an accent I hear often anymore. And these aren't robots; they're simple AI constructs in the virtual reality system, as far as I can tell. We're having our nervous system stimulated in a way that makes them feel real. Same with our senses; that's their selling point.
( It's habit, brushing off her knees even if she hadn't knelt down to the floor, or even that there was a floor, but the smile she offers him is a genuine thing. )
My name is Angela; I'm originally from Switzerland. But no, I've been brought here much as you were, some months ago. I'm a doctor. Have you only just arrived?
IT WASN'T BUT IT IS NOW no i lied please be nice to me
[Okay so getting helped to his feet isn't something he minds or feels like should be particularly engaging but chroma's weird and he winds up flexing his hand once she lets him go, almost experimentally. Hrm. But he only gets a second to focus on that before she's going off on the difference between ai and robots and he just kind of squints at her, only barely half following. Right okay. Yes.]
...Sounds like bots to me. Close enough anyway. AI, whatever. Shouldn'tve tried the blasted thing. Oughta kick it right in its sensors in retaliation if you ask me. Sure deserves it after THAT maneuver.
[He whirls around to point at the AI, who hasn't moved from its kick position. Mocking blankly. He dislikes you. His attention swivels back to Angela again though, pausing.]
Erh, yeah. You know after being stuck on a moon or whatever. [Stop being nice he's not sure how to process this? He's setting on cautious suspicion for now.] Thanks for the uh, hand up, Doc.
[Tactfully???? avoiding name exchange.......]
"""nice"""???? who told me not to be nice to a dirt goblin??? "nice" has left the premises
( Yeah that's going right over his head, poor dear. Is he from her Australia, or the Australia before it all went down...? It's difficult to say when it'd been before her time and it's a bit of an oddity in the textbooks anymore, but his general aversion to the concept of A.I. probably says enough. )
Well, these are constructs from your mind, as opposed to anything singular with its own personality. Terrorizing it isn't going to end well, you know.
( Bad news for ya mate... Angela never stops being nice. :\ Sorry buddy. But his whirling between her and the AI person is enough to have her breathing out a little laugh, shaking her head. )
Welcome to Prismatica then, in that case. I'm only sorry you were roped right into testing these things out. And you don't need to thank me for a bit of help; it's what I do. And what am I to call you?
