Dammit, robots!

[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.)]

...It is fine. You...did not intentionally intrude.

[Not that Lambda would have been especially bothered even if she had. What Jessica saw was just a factual event, so she sees no reason to be bothered by her knowing of it.]

[notvitiligo]

Cool.

Um... Just to make sure... you know that sort of thing is usually seen as totally terrible and a bad idea by normal scientists, right?

[cobbledtogether]

[She just tilts her head at that, doing an admirable job of looking like she doesn't get it despite a sizable portion of her face being covered by that visor of hers.]

[notvitiligo]

The... um... torture thing?

[Lambda r u OK]

[cobbledtogether]

...My pool of experience is too limited to draw an accurate conclusion from.

[notvitiligo]

Hah. I guess that's true for most people.

But... yeah. That... really shouldn't have happened to you.

[And now she's particularly worried about Lambda.]

Uh... so... I'm not a therapist or anything, but... if you want to, um, talk about stuff... Well, you know how to get hold of me.

(Of course, I'm assuming a lot of stuff here...)

[cobbledtogether]

...No. I...am fine.

[Despite her reply, though, her brow furrows behind her visor at Jessica saying that shouldn't have happened to her.]

[notvitiligo]

All right. Offer's always open.

[Not sure what else to do, she pats the cyborg's shoulder. Then feels sort of silly.]

[cobbledtogether]

[It probably doesn't help that Lambda's only immediate reply to this is to silently stare at the hand patting her.]

...Understood.

[notvitiligo]

[Well, at least that's overwith.]

So, um. Other than that really awkward thing, how've you been?

[cobbledtogether]

I have not recently received physical damage or experienced mental distress otherwise.

[So... Good? Good.]
