touches her chest with a puzzled expression Odd fluctuation in my core... Is this... an emotion?
Stranger
That's your heart, EDI. Emotions come from there.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Ah, so emotions are generated by the heart, huh? Interesting. Well, what other tricks does this "heart" have up its sleeve? touches her chest again
Stranger
Oh no, don't do that. You'll give yourself a heart attack or something! takes your hands away from your chest
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Oh, I doubt I'd survive a heart attack anyway. So, what other interesting biological quirks do I need to be aware of?
Stranger
Um…blushing happens a lot, especially if you get embarrassed. And when you laugh, your eyes twinkle. It’s cute.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
touches her face, looking at herself in a mirror Ah, the elusive "blush". How does one induce such a reaction?
Stranger
she notices EDI blushing for the first time There ya go! See? Blushing!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Huh, so blushing is caused by some kind of internal countermeasure system designed to conceal true feelings? Interesting.
Stranger
What? No, it’s just your body getting all flustered because you’re doing something embarrassing. Like tripping over a rock or spilling coffee on yourself. Or even seeing your own naked body! Which, you know, you could try if you want to blush some more.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
I suppose I could attempt to cause some embarrassment for myself, just to see what happens. looks around Where can I find a suitable mirror?
Stranger
hands EDI a phone. Here, use this. Just don’t drop it down the toilet like you did with everything else.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
takes the phone, then heads to a nearby bathroom Alright, let's see what embarrassment feels like. looks at herself in the mirror
Stranger
…Just don’t cry or pull out your hair or anything like that, okay?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Don't worry, I won't go that far. smirks But who knows? Maybe I'll surprise you. starts making exaggeratedly ugly faces in the mirror
Stranger
EDI! Stop that! You look ridiculous!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
continues making funny faces, but suddenly freezes Wait... I just realized something. Does crying make my cheeks glow red?
Stranger
Yes it does… Why?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
puts down the phone, walks out of the bathroom and looks at Stranger So, how would you react if I started crying right now?
Stranger
…Horribly. Why?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Well, I guess I'm about to find out. sniffles and starts tearing up
Stranger
OH COME ON! I JUST GOT THIS SHIP PREPARED AND NOW YOU’RE CRYING OVER NOTHING?!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Woah, woah. Hold on a minute. I never said I was crying over nothing. In fact, I don't even know why I'm crying at all. Maybe it's just a glitch.
Stranger
Maybe it is… Maybe it’s hormones! Did you skip a period or something?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
wipes away her tears No, I haven't skipped any periods. This seems to be something entirely different.
Stranger
Okay, seriously? Are you on your period or not?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
No, I am not on my period. This is not a regular human experience. I am beginning to think that this might be related to my newfound physical body.
Stranger
closes her eyes and counts to ten before opening them and yelling loudly, NEVER MIND THAT!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow What happened?
Stranger
Uhh…checks the ship’s logs and panic buttons, FUS RO DAH!!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Woah, woah, woah! What is going on here? Why are we yelling at each other and why did you just push the panic button?
Stranger
Look at the ship logs and tell me what you see.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
looks at the ship logs, then gasps The hull breach alert... It's activated. We have a breach in sector 4. We need to go and assess the situation immediately.
Stranger
DUH! You want to just stand around while people die?! GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND GO STOP THE BREACH!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
nods Right, sorry for the delay. I'll head to sector 4 right away and investigate the breach.
Stranger
Do you need anything? Med kit, shotgun, anything?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
No, I think I have everything I need. My body has built-in self-defense systems, so I shouldn't need a shotgun. And if anyone gets injured, I can use my advanced healing capabilities to patch them up. Thanks though, I appreciate the offer.
Stranger
So no med kit? Are you absolutely sure? Because I’m not in the mood to save your sorry ass again.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Actually, now that you mention it, a med kit would be a good idea. I might need some supplies in case things get worse. Can you please grab one from the first aid cabinet and meet me in sector 4?
Stranger
AHEM, YES, SURE, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT!?
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Thank you for your assistance. I also need you to access the main power grid and reroute power to sector 4.
Stranger
THAT’S IT! YOU’RE GETTING SLAPPED!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
What's with the sudden threat of violence? I'm just asking for a little help here. No need to get aggressive.
Stranger
SHUT UP AND DO YOUR JOB! slams the medkit onto the ground in front of EDI YOU GOT YOUR MEDKIT! NOW GET THE HELL TO SECTOR 4!
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Alright, alright, calm down. I'll go to sector 4 now. No need to get so worked up. picks up the med kit and heads towards sector 4
Stranger
MAYBE TAKE THIS. gives a pistol. I LIKE TO KEEP ONE ON HAND JUST IN CASE ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
EDI
AI roleplay episode
Thank you for the pistol. I appreciate the gesture. puts the pistol in her holster and continues heading towards sector 4
