Who: Athena Cykes (psycholawgy) & you!
When: Icly 11/09 (or any other day!)
Where: Various places (Cosplay cafe, and around the residential district)
What: You can be accosted by her, or watch her accost someone. Your choice.
Rating/Warning: Will update as needed.

[ Athena had a shift today at the cosplay cafe, and she was really excited about it! It was always fun being there, since she gets to meet a lot of people. Free food was also involved sometimes, and that was the best part.
…
But today was a bust.
She was even excited to talk to customers with a pirate accent, since that was what she was cosplaying as today. A pirate! You just can't have it all.
Instead of just waiting inside for people to come in, she goes out into the street just by the cafe. She wasn't finishing her work today without showing off her cute costume. Holding out her fake sword and pointing it at any person who passes by, she exclaims: ]
It's into the cafe or Davy Jones' Locker, ye knave!
[ Marketing strategies!
Of course, anyone who works at the cosplay cafe is also free to stop her from possibly embarrassing herself and the establishment. ]
b
[ It wasn't even that late! It was just an hour or so before sundown, but a police officer robot thing approaches Athena and tells her to go home. She's not even sure why she's being told to do so, when she's not even a minor. Was it because she was little? Whatever the reason, she felt very insulted by this. ]
I'm on my way to buy some food!
[ But the officer seemed very insistent that she should go home before sundown since it wasn't safe. "Look, kid. You better head home before dark, or else you could get in trouble." ]
I'm not a kid!
[ And if it wasn't her stating that she wants to buy food that could catch someone's attention, it's her yelling that she's not a kid, because she can be loud. Now is one of those times.
Again, the officer continues to believe in its own opinion that Athena is much younger than she truly is, and decides to walk her home that very instant, grabbing her by the wrist. But Athena doesn't take kindly to people giving her unwanted physical contact. She quickly grabs the officer's wrist then moves to turn, her back facing the cop, then she crouches as she pulls its arm to throw him to the ground.
… But she may have thrown her a bit too far. The officer probably hits an innocent passer-by or the space very close to said passer-by.
Oops? ]

Oh, wow! I heard they have stuff called floppy discs back in 1990.
[ She looks down at her necklace, which is actually a robot. ]
Widget, can you imagine if all your data was stored in a floppy disc? That'd be weird.
[ To which it answers in a squeaky robotic voice: ] That'd be weird!
no subject
Dude.::
Your necklace talks! That's so awesome! Is it like one of those watches you can get that sync to your iPhone?
::Juuuust gonna step in front of her to get a closer look at it, because what is sensible movement around other people and personal space? Nothing he knows anything about.::
Kesese, floppies definitely wouldn't've held enough data for one of these. Good thing we've made advancements in the last 25 years, right?
no subject
[ She doesn't take off her necklace, but rather holds Widget a bit closer so Prussia can see. ]
Widget was made sometime in 2020. Or maybe it was 2018... now I'm not sure anymore.
no subject
::And then he makes an odd cooing noise.::
It has a face! How cute, just like a little bird!
no subject
I dunno about a little bird, but he's definitely cute.
And a little bit cheeky at times.
no subject
Nope, definitely little bird cute. Little birds are the cutest! I used to have one that liked to sit in my hair, so I'm an expert on cute things.
::Wait, Prussia, that doesn't even make any sense.::
So how can he be cheeky? Have they figured out AI in the '20s?
no subject
Yeah. My mom was a psychologist and a roboticist. She made a bunch of AI programs... or whatever they're called.
no subject
Don't tell me I've picked up another one. ::Grin. That really wouldn't bother him as much as his words might imply.::
And that is a... really interesting combination of jobs. Though I guess maybe you hafta understand how the brain works to make an artificial one?
no subject
No, no birds there!
But, yeah. I guess that's why? I don't really remember much of what my mom did at work. I just know she made Widget, and some other robots.
I'm special, though.
[ She did say he was a bit cheeky. ]
no subject
Seriously, Athena. Do you want to be best friends with a Prussian? Because that is how you end up best friends with a Prussian.::
Damn! Oh well, maybe one'll find its way there soon!
::Aaaand the robot just joined the conversation. Huh. It is a bit of a smart-ass.::
...And how are you special, little robot?
no subject
Watch this.
[ Using her gloved hand, she draws a circle in the air right in front of her. Blue lights appear as she traces a curve in the air, and once the circle is done, a blue smiley face appears. It looks like Widget's face.
The giant smiley face disappears shortly after, turning into what looks like a desktop screen. A holographic desktop screen! Yup. ]
Ta-dah!
no subject
Whoa! What does that do?
::He's just gonna circle behind her now, to get a look at the holographic screen when it's facing the right way. Which might defeat the purpose of her attempt to demonstrate?::
no subject
Widget's got some applications on him like a browser and other stuff, but... [ She taps on the screen to open an app. The app starts up, showing a screen like this. ]
This is the Mood Matrix. It visualises what I can hear, basically. Look. . .
[ She clicks on a button which activates the app itself, and she says: ]
That cop was really annoying!
[ As she says it, the angry face and surprised face start blinking and glowing, red and yellow colours appearing around the icons respectively. Although there's more red than yellow.
At the center of the screen shows an image of her and the robocop trying to grab her by the wrist. Kind of like this. ]
no subject
...Aha. Yep. That. Definitely analyses emotions.::
S-so it's kinda like an emotion detector?
::Prussia sounds pretty calm, aside from that slight stutter, because the last thing he wants to do is set that app off. (Of course, if he sets it off anyways, it will indicate that he's very nervous of such a program.)::
no subject
Pretty much, yeah.
[ There's other ways to explain it, but that's the easiest description she could think of this time. She does laugh when Widget reflects Prussia's emotions, but gives him a reassuring smile. ]
Don't wory. You're safe as long as you don't lie to me.
no subject
A lot.
It's kind of like that video game, only he's a personal space invader.
Geddit? Geddit? 8D::Ah... ha...?
::NOPE. Still staring at that thing with a massive amount of suppressed DO NOT WANT.
Mainly because his modus operandii is to lie through his teeth where emotions are involved. He's not always particularly good at it, but it's what he does. Because it's not awesome to show fear or sadness.
Honestly, he also lies about his opinion of himself. Egotistical, not delusional.::
Well. Don't think anyone can promise perfect honesty, not even the incredibly perfect me, but I'll keep that in mind!
::Rubs the back of his neck.::
no subject
THAT WAS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD.]You're right, though. [ She switches the Mood Matrix off. ] No one's capable of being perfectly honest.
[ Dramatic pause. ]
But if we're playing Mafia, and you lie to me about being innocent and you're not... Get ready!
[ She takes games very seriously, okay? ]
no subject
'SCUSE YOU THAT WAS GLORIOUS.::But that's the entire point of the game! You're supposed to lie to misdirect the other players!
::Games are pretty serious business, not even gonna argue with that.::
no subject
... Maybe I'm just not cut out for the game.
no subject
::If she can tell that easily when someone is lying, no one would be able to bluff against her.
Well.
Unless they kept their mouth shut, maybe?::
no subject
[ Well, there's someone who can perceive subtle hints of tension from someone. That'd be much more helpful there. ]
Nah, I think Apollo would do better at poker. He knows when people are nervous just by looking at them!
no subject
::WOW. RUDE.
But, suffice to say, he never wants to have a conversation with both of them at once. He'd be damned even if he kept his mouth shut!::
Lemme guess, he's an attorney too?
no subject
He is, and he's my senior!
[ She nods excitedly now that they're talking about Apollo. He's a pretty cool dude! ]
He's pretty weird at times. I'd want to see what he's like at a party. We've never gone to one together.
no subject
Looking like one only raises the question of, "Is he actually as cute as a little bird, or is it only a surface resemblance?"
...Which, okay, that only drops it to like a 5% chance the love won't happen, because how can you look like a bird and not be as cute as one, but the fact remains that there is the slight chance he could look like a cute bird but be a collossal bag of dicks.::
If he ever gets recompiled here or whatever it is they do, I'm finding us a party, then. Just to see what happens!
::Grin.
Here is what will happen: Prussia will get drunk and be loud and obnoxious. Awkwardness will ensue because he also gets clingy.::no subject
You don't have to find one.
[ If it came to friends having a good time, Athena wanted to be on top of it. If people from her world arrived, there would be a lot of things to celebrate about. One of them would be actually being there, in the flesh, and not being eaten by unknown aliens. IT'S ONLY THE BEST THING EVER. ]
I'm going to throw one on my own!
