"First of all, is he old enough to drink?" The girl cocks an eyebrow while the boy flushes.

"I am 16 already!"

"Just show him the ID, Simon." The boy grimaces at the words of the lady, but fishes his ID out and hands it to you.

You put it against the console to scan and...

Patron ID: Simon Bluemont
Occupation: Crewman of Cargo Barge "Most Fortunate Occurence"
Conv.style: CHATTY

Disliked Drinks: N/A

Well, he is an adult. You hand him the ID card.

"See, I told you." He says, a little butthurt.

"It's your baby face. You should get used to that, for now. Can we have our drinks, bartender?

A) Get the girl a shot of...
*A) Wóda
*B) Dry Jet
*C) Wet Jet
*D) Bricklayer
*E) Lamp
*F) Pneumo
*G) InPulsar
*H) Pontifex
B) "Sorry, but 'strong' is not an official flavor, miss."

[King Zultan]

AD With a name like Bricklayer it must be strong.

[Haspen]

You nod and check with the database to see what exactly 'Kinky Maid' is...

KINKY MAID: 111c

Shot of Ribesnero
Shot of Saproot
Shot of Pontifex

Serve in a cocktail glass with a cherry.

Not exactly a hard one to make; you pour a shot of three synthols and top it off with a cherry that quickly falls to the bottom of a dark-purple-blue mix. You pour a shot of Bricklayer before handing both drinks to your patrons. The girl pulls a credchip from her neck-pocket so that you can scan it. (+161c)

"Do we toast?" Louise sighs and gives him a glare.

"You need an occassion for that." Simon doesn't take long to come up with one.

"For our continuing and prosperous travels from one safe harbor to another." Louise rolls her eyes, then sighs.

"Allright." Their glasses clink, and while Louise downs her shot in one go, Simon takes a sip of his, and coughs a little.

CHOOSE YOUR CONVERSATION PATH:

With Louise (1):
A) "You're a captain, and he is a crewman. Where's the rest, though?"
B) CHATTY: "I have noticed that you have a split surname and yet you're alone, I haven't met a spacefarer who would, well, fare through space without their significant other with them."
C) FLIRTY: "You might not realize it, but your coldness of bearing has conquered my frozen heart, queen~"

With Simon (2):
A) "You okay there? Is the mix too strong?"
B) CHATTY: "Kinky Maid has an interesting mix of flavors. Given your age and blanks in SRC patron database, I would wager you're sampling the stuff before you settle on a favorite, right?"
C) FLIRTY: "Look at you, a strong, handsome, young yet mature man. Is the synthol the only entertainment you're looking for tonight, hm~?"

AB
Neither of our drone modes are gonna match well with Louise.

2B

[EuchreJack]

2Because it seems nice.

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

I suppose 2B would work... he does seem like he might get annoyed if we try asking after his health

2B, lets get an idea how to handle newbies to drinking.

[Haspen]

CHATTY: "Kinky Maid has an interesting mix of flavors. Given your age and blanks in SRC patron database, I would wager you're sampling the stuff before you settle on a favorite, right?" Simon looks up from his drink.

"Oh, um, kinda. I don't do synthols often... I haven't found a favorite, yeah. I'm listening in to conversations of others about drinks or ask the bartenders when their other patrons drink at the time I make an order, so... yeah. Or if I don't have time, I try them out on the next SRC outpost we get to. Like this time. It's my fifth mix overall."

"How's Kinky Maid for you, then? Up to your palate, hopefully?" Simon thinks a little while Louise eyes him studiously.

"Flavorful, strong..." He takes another sip. "I'm not sure its the one I would call favorite."

"Don't fall for the drone's care for your preferences, Simon. They only want your - my credits by serving you mixes. I've told you, get a shot of a synthol and try singular flavors first."

"Sorry, aunt." Simon pauses for a second. "Wait, the bartender's a drone?"

"Yeah, changed his conversational programming on the fly. The voice, the syntax, all that jazz. You didn't notice?"

"Um, n-no?" Louise rolls her eyes.

"I need to get you some wetware implants, I swear..."

"Miss Pereres, you do not have to this rude to your nephew. Plus, I am a little surprised you did notice." Louise shrugs.

"I'm a cyborg. My internal processing units do take notice of pre-programmed talky lines and such. Don't expect to fool me."

A) To Louise: "Your shot glass is empty. Want anything else?"
B) To Louise&Simon: "You're family, then?"
C) To Simon: "You want something other than Kinky Maid, then?"

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

B
Well that got interesting quick

[Dustan Hache]

B. also, refills for both.

[Superdorf]

Y'know, it's moments like this that make me wonder. To what extent do our conversational presets represent us? Are the colored lines being dripfed to us like cue cards, or are they our own reactions?

[Haspen]

Could it be that something that's not!Arnold writes those lines for him - and you - to choose from?

[Superdorf]

I mean yes, but on a meta level the same is true of the "neutral" responses. This is more of a "how does the machine interact with the organics" kind of question

[Egan_BW]

Did think they were family... which is why I didn't suggest to flirt. Might have made the older one annoyed.
