Dammit, robots!

[notvitiligo]

[Well, this is... weird. Having a head that isn't squishy and skull-shaped and covered in hair is bad enough, but the light source inside feels strangely warm. Possibly the heat from the pumpkin hot chocolate is sticking around, which is at least convenient with the cooling weather. Still, annoying.

[But Jessica isn't one to let the Gardens' embarrassing cosmetic bullshit get in her way, so she's resolutely keeping to her routine. It has to wear off eventually, right?

[(Definitely lodging a complaint with the management of the cafe, though.)]

Because I like the robots? And their stuff is pretty good.

[loveswaffles]

Didn't you know that eating their food has side-effects?

[notvitiligo]

[shrug] I'm willing to take my chances. So far it's just been silly stuff and not the bullcrap Her Majesty inflicts on us with her food.

[loveswaffles]

Silly stuff.

Your head is a pumpkin.

[notvitiligo]

It wears off, and I could, y'know, be confessing my love to someone or something else potentially awkward and embarrassing.

[loveswaffles]

You might wanna make sure they're not allergic to your head.

[notvitiligo]

No, like... that's happened before. Because of food here.

[loveswaffles]

How'd that go?

[notvitiligo]

[She looks away, the light from inside dimming a bit.]

Awkwardly. I wasn't really expecting anything, anyway, which is why I never wanted to say anything in the first place.

Um. Anyway, she's not here anymore, so... I guess it doesn't really matter.

But yeah, the point is, compared to what Her Majesty springs on us, having a Jack o' lantern for a head is nothing.

[loveswaffles]

[Cool effect.]

Yeah, there's totally worse vegetables to have for a head.

[notvitiligo]

Hah, yeah, at least it's something head-sized. I can imagine, say, a carrot. Or bok choi.

[loveswaffles]

You'd be real popular with rabbits.
