[ there's something about the classics being ignored that makes midori feel a little... ignored? or that wasn't the response he was looking for as he's locked in place looking at the dynamo near him after thinking about what was said. master add is not a star.
that. is not. what should. have been taken. from a modern day classic. what? has add lived under a rock or does dynamo lack that much information about antoine de saint-exupéry that it's unable to understand the true meaning of what those words mean? he knows he shouldn't act this way, but he's frozen in place as he stares in disbelief, and once ranger speaks— his eyes click to the side to stare at the other out from the corner. ]
Well if you had just finished your sentence from the start...
[ you know! than handing it off to him as he reaches up for the drone before it falls to the floor.
part of him should let it drop, but he's too curious about the functions of a nasod intelligence, and so he has to be gentle. he can feel the heat run off the drone, finding this a good thing, because the sooner it rests, the easier they can make a few edits. ]
It's a classic... [ ...
as if that's the answer to everything. ] It should learn classics.

...
it's slower this time, but the drones flicker back to life. checking the crash report, assessing damage, no critical files lost... once again, their electronic voice crackles in:]
Dynamo, activating. Searching for signal... error, not found. Searching—
[... but this time, they stop on their own. ah. that's right. Master Add is...
...
they redirect their processors to... one scan, catching up on everything. slowly. no more trying to analyze their memories from sixteen different points at once.
one scan... well, two scans. they can handle two scans. though that one is, begrudgingly, placed on a lower priority...
a string of beeps, apologetic. they're going to stay in their sunny-but-cool spot without complaint, thank you.]
System verification at 1.6%... there is a large volume of data to process. Estimated completion: 19-21 hours.
Thank you for supporting Dynamo. Master Add— [bebeeep abort, cancel that thought] ... Thank you for supporting Dynamo.
[...]
Good morning, Sou Hiyori! [they remember him saying that so it's proper courtesy to return the greeting, right?]
roll: 17
You're supposed to be the one that can handle people. That includes people who don't know the classics. The guy's a scientist from a different place, so it's no surprise that they wouldn't know it... Anyway, what are we gonna do about its signal?
[ As far as he's concerned, Midori should know better. Ranger himself can be quite literal, and one need be specific in their wording for him to understand. As to why he's annoyed, well, that's probably some small part of it. For the most part, he's just agitated that it's gotten to this point.
It's an oversight, and neither of them are none too fond of those. Still, his attention is drawn back to Dynamo as they recover. ]
Oh... No problem. You don't need to take it in all at once, it's not like the data is going anywhere...
[ He chides, but there's another soft sigh. Pat, pat... Dynamo can have that encouragement. ]
It's fine for you to take it bit by bit, you know... I'd be pretty upset if I broke you too, you know, ahaha...
[ Or let them break, really. He's done enough of that lately, and so there's a small, humorless laugh.
... ]
I wanted to roll and got an 18
not in his favor apparently.
his eyes remain on ranger before his eyes fall down to the dynamo in hand, contemplating his next move, and then it's a rapid success as there's reason for this. ]
It's not as if it's all for naught! It allows me to understand them a little more now, and being from a different place doesn't mean much! They may share a few pieces of our civilized history: Vincent Van Gogh, or Rhythm Zero! ...I may have given too much credit in terms of knowledge to them, but imagine living in a world without the classics.
[ the classics is why people want to kill themselves with how much information that takes up in a person's brain. that's not true for midori, but, the classics is a rigorous subject that causes too many heated debates. some people aren't able to withstand it, especially the true meaning behind the little prince.
as soon as dynamo boots back up after a few seconds, midori catches any other words to swallow them down as he's greeted. ]
Ah! Excellent, so you retain information well! [ he's enthusiastic about this progress, however, showing this by a caress of his hand against the surface. ] Good morning, Dynamo! And what would you tell to Antoine De Saint-Exupéry?
[ he won't let go for some reason until he's proved right, or that dynamo can recite something from a famous novelist.
...
midori doesn't holdfast to the question, a little thrown off course of the chiding and familiarity that ranger offers through this.
and when he thought he had died and got away.
so to avoid that... he moves on, shaking his head at the comment. he sighs, now ranger... ]
...Now, no one's breaking anything, not while I'm around, hm ♪ How about we all get to know each other by asking questions?
[ they learn dynamo and his caveman of an owner, dynamo can learn a little about his adoptive caretakers, and everyone wins as they work on any other problems that may occur. dynamo has been locked up for an unknown time frame, so it'd be good to learn about them, sadly he wonders if this will be like talking to maple.
master add this... master add that...
well, it's conversation! ]
What do you two... three [ two dynamos ] think? ☆
no subject
the other part, which they will not address at this time.]
Dynamo has been asleep for ▒░▒▒░ days. I want to know what I have missed.
[There's no logical reason to delay it, so they won't. They want to know.
"Getting to know each other" falls under that umbrella, too, so they have no reason to refuse. A rising sequence of agreeing beeps, and] What is your inquiry?
[... but he also asked something else a moment before, so they're completing that task at the same time] I am sorry, there are no results for "Antoine De Saint-Exupéry" in my database.
[add never read the classics.]
no subject
He flips to the cat card. It's the kind of behavior that's reserved solely for others of ASUNARO, just as the next words are, ]
Don't worry, Hiyori's just mad 'cause he wanted to show off. You can just ignore him.... But we can catchya up while we're playing twenty questions here, sure.
[ Much like the data currently being verified, the classics will be with them as long as the school is, and if that disappears then they have bigger problems to worry about. He's more amenable to asking questions though, and so he nods, switching back to the open-mouthed grin once more. Does he have a question in mind, or should Ranger start? ]
no subject
[ his head drops, he's not mad! he's just a little disappointed... but he manages to lift his head back up after a moment of exaggerating his mood at the moment. ]
Don't blame yourself, that is something that can easily be fixed!
[ he turns the conversation to something he knows that he can excel on, because if he has to think about dynamo lacking the classics, he might go insane! as soon as midori comes to the table, he sets the final dynamo next to the other as he turns to the laptop on the table to pull up another black box.
tapping against the screen, he starts off with making sure syntax is in his coding, typing slow as he decides what he wants to put there first before clicking the backspace button.
his eyes lift up to look at ranger, giving him the "go ahead" as his eyes fall back to the screen. ]
