text, @TARANTO, day after the saloon fire

[heavyhitter]

hey guys guess what: blankets!!! me and TF to the fucking rescue, we rustled up like 40 of these bad boys
super cozy, some nice patterns. one of them has a robot wolf on it
it was also all entirely legal

they're ALMOST free, all you gotta do is tell me a story then come get one (i'm by those spiky ass fat plants that bleed if you knock them over)

also since i have 40 and there's more than 40 of us, i guess also pick someone to get cozy with

what the hell does your crazy healing thing work on cold too?

[ofobedience]

It works on most things. What kind of weapon would I be if something so mundane could finish me off?

[heavyhitter]

oh my god you're so dramatic
you're a guy not a weapon

[ofobedience]

I'm a genetically engineered weapon. A hound of war, as it were. I'm not 'a guy' at all.

[And that's true, but also she's not wrong, he is inclined towards being overly dramatic.

[heavyhitter]

you got arms legs and a head
sorry you're a guy

[ofobedience]

No.

[heavyhitter]

oh you wanna go this route huh
ok fine

yes

[ofobedience]

No. You're sadly mistaken.

[Is he arguing against his own personhood? Sure looks that way.]

[heavyhitter]

hey question
what's the shit that annoys you the most

[ofobedience]

[well, that question is entirely unexpected.]

I don't know. Useless mutts who don't understand the value of loyalty, I suppose.

[heavyhitter]

huh you know, same


anyway confirmed for person, sorry

[ofobedience]

What?

[heavyhitter]

there is fucking NOTHING more human (or whatever species) than being annoyed by other people
that's just facts

[ofobedience]

It's just a case of training. When one has been trained from the moment they opened their eyes to give their unquestioning loyalty to their creator, it only makes sense to despise those who turn their back on that loyalty.

[...though even he knows there's more to it than that, despite his poor self-awareness.]

[heavyhitter]

ok honestly it didn't really matter what the answer was, it's that you had an answer

[ofobedience]

Well. I suppose you're welcome to think whatever you like, but ultimately you're wrong.

[It's a conversation that leaves him a little uncomfortable, though. A little confused.]

[heavyhitter]

sure yeah
you let me know if you change your mind about that blanket

[ofobedience]

All right, then.

[He won't, but-- you know]
