oo2 | Meatbags

[autodidacticrobogirl]

Today I caught myself referring to humans as "spaghetti-coded wetware." I guess that's actually a step up from "meatbags." I bet people will still take offense for some reason. Also, I'm out of coffee. This is stupid, where do I get more coffee in this place?

There's no supermarket.

Maybe I could invent a coffee machine that doesn't run out. There has to be a better way of doing this. Also, I need to talk to the doctor, probably. Is that thing ever where it's supposed to be? Jeez, this place is boring. If it weren't for all the... Y'know, it wouldn't be worth getting up in the morning.

Ah, there is a coffee shop on deck eight which I tend to take care of from time to time.

Spaghetti-coded wetware?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I am going to need more coffee than that.

[missmimmi]

...Oh.

[Um]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I once tried to cut down to six pots a day. It was a disaster. I'm not doing it again.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

You know...Spaghetti code?

[Crap. Normal people are talking to her. HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW THESE WORDS.]

A mess. Like. The Gorgon's knot. The only way to fix it is to scrap and start over.

[missmimmi]

Six?

Oh my.

Um.

You could just... um, live in the coffee shop?

[How are you not dead, woman]

[thenotmagician]

...Uhuh. That makes sense.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't... Sleep is for the weak!

[Calm. Calm down. Don't panic, Kim this lady has coffee you need coffee you can hide from her once you have it.]

I'm just going to need a couple coffee makers. And some instant, I guess. Can't afford to be picky, if these are my options.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Of course it does. I always make sense.

[missmimmi]

Ah, there are several different coffee machines in the shop, along with a few different powder mix... things.

[Which Mimmi never uses because wtf is this powder nonsense]

And if you want something specific that the shop does not have, I suppose you could ask the crew?

[thenotmagician]

Don't we all?

I'm Zeke. Ezekiel Lerish. Nice ta meet ya.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure they'll be so helpful on the subject of caffeine addiction.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure 'we' don't. That's why it's 'spaghetti-code' and not structured.

...Kim Ross. Actually it's Dr. Ross, but nobody cares.

[missmimmi]

[Jeez she's only trying to help]

They could be?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

[Kim has no social skills and even if she did, she'd still be a misanthropic ass.]

...Sorry. Coffee shortage is doing wonders for my tolerances.

[thenotmagician]

Huh. Howdy, then, Dr. Ross. Welcome to our batshit crazy paradise.

[missmimmi]

It is fine. Really.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

[Drily] How nice.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

[Kim can never come to the coffee shop while Mimmi is in there, now. She will hide and wait until Mimmi is gone, then steal the coffee makers and supplies.]

It's referring to sentient beings as though they're nonsentient that's offensive, not the words themselves.

[Short and to the point.]

You can probably find a percolator on deck twelve, or at the Bazaar.

[thenotmagician]

Most of the time it is, when shit's not hitting the fan.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

If people don't like having their hardware being called what it is, then they should change it.

[Equally to the point. Kim has opinions about this topic.]

Thanks.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

It's boring.

[thenotmagician]

And you've been here like, what, a week now? Shit'll happen eventually, just you wait.
