WHAT Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
WHERE There's a heart (there's a heart), a hand to hold onto
WHEN Day 8, afternoon

[Hey kids, time is passing. It's a work day afternoon! Do we have a concept of weekends here, or is every day a work day? That's way better for the capitalist running dogs. Nothing ever closes, and yet, strangely vital things seem to be inaccessible any time you find yourself off work?]

[Where do you find yourself on this Fine and Normal day?]

All that talk of hacking, you ain't mechanical under there, are you?

[gestures to sort of. all of her]

Android, bio-mechanical. Lotta people seem to be asking that, since it's mostly humans here. It's all machinery, but some parts are meat, and others are plastic or steel or whatever.

But I still eat, and drink, and do plenty of other fun things.

Ain't no worry. I know you don't need to be human to have a good time.

Oh, we can get up to lots of fun. And if I really have to stay here for a spell, I plan on sharing it with plenty of folks.

Now that makes it sound like you're holding back on us. Or are you just trying to get settled?

I just gotta know my onions, first, that's all. But I've already joined that fisticuffs club behind the mall. They have that, in case you didn't know.

Heard about it. I don't mind a good throwdown, but it ain't quite what I'm looking for these days.

There's plenty of booze, too. That one place has a bunch of vids. And there's always the people. Like me!

Think outta those I'd take the company of a lovely lady like yourself.

Ooh, a sweet talker. Well, I don't mind offering a little company, if you think you can keep up.

[he laughs]

I'll do my best not to disappoint.

Soooo, do you wanna take me anywhere?

Well, I could show you the town, or I could show you somewhere a little more private if that's your pleasure.

One from column A, and some from column B.

Well then, seems like you're in need of a private tour.

[offers her his arm]

[Hooking her arm around his.]

Lead on, MacDuff.

It's McCree, sweetheart.

[leading on regardless, he'll just take her around to the bigger landmarks in town before ending at the apartment building]

It's a saying, sweetie.

[She's an affable companion, chatting idly about the sights she takes in. When they get to the building she displays no nervousness.]

So, do cowboys usually call it "a roll in the hay?"

[he gets them in the elevator, pushing the button for his place with one hand as he catches her waist and pulls her closer with the other]

You can call it what you want, darling, I'll be sure to make it good for you.

You'll be my first human. Do your kind proud.

[She kisses his cheek and gives his butt a squeeze.]

[he grins, shifting back into her grip]

I'd be more than happy to show you what flesh and blood can do.

[We have flesh and blood too! It's just all filled with circuits and nanomachines and junk.]

I can hardly wait. You know, androids have a lot of stamina. We aren't built with the same limitations.

Well I'll do my level best to keep up.
