[When Heart isn't busy doing other things such as stalking doting on Lilly or breaking into Red's house or whatever, he preferred hang-out spot has become Kat's Kradle, mostly so that she can oogle be around the very handsome... manager. She's too shy to actually strike up conversation, of course. But... Um. She should do something to repay how often she comes here, right?

Like right now, she's sitting in here with coffee but looking otherwise awkward. Ever since she came here with Kiyo, that is. ...Um. Thinking about Kiyo gives her some of mode 4's balls, and thus she opens her journal and pens in the following:]

Does anyone know a gift which is appropriate good pre- thank you gift for a hand- nic- helpful olde- gentleman?

[She sighs. That was hard. She looks at her coffee after she finishes writing that, somewhat flustered in spite of herself. Anyone is free to respond to that or run into her in KK, of course. Users or non-users. There is a chance you might end up on someone else's file though I want more people like that sob]

Nothing special, really. Nothing like what you see in movies and such, I'm afraid. No chainsaws in these arms.

Well, that's comforting. [Chainsaw hands sound terrifying.]

[Heart thinks they sound charming, which is why-] What, would you have preferred me with some in-built laser-eyes?

Or maybe some kind of internet hook-up, at least.

[And there's a little smiley-face drawn in. She's joking.]

Well, nope. Afraid nothing as fancy as that, I need to use a phone like anyone else.

So...do you have to plug into the wall at night?

[These questions are actually easier to ask by writing them down. For once, Buffy's thankful for not voicing her words.]

I've got an internal battery which can last for, oh... a good ten years, even if I didn't recharge. [She pauses and the squiggles] I don't know all the specifics though.

[herotypical]

Ten?

[There's a long pause. Wow, that's a long time.] Built to last, huh?

It's recommended that I am recharged eternally before that, personality errors and memory-loss can result if left unattended for a while. [That was more mechanical before she laughs a bit and then the writing becomes more playful-]

But I'm supposed to simulate humanity, Buff. I can't do that if I've got a port in my tush or something.

[One sec while she copes with the prospect of having a port in the tush. That just brings back more bad associations and her answer is particularly strained.]

No one's been here as much as ten years--you'll get home in time for your next juice up.

Oh, no, Buff when I said that I mean in ten years my battery ought to have melted down, that's the recommended time to throw me out or replace my main processes. [Basically, kill her.]

[Written // Filtered]

[herotypical]

You're only meant to last ten years? [Buffy hesitates, skipping a line to scribble a question in.]

How old are you now?

[Written // Filtered]

[sixwayheart.livejournal.com]

I've been active for about a year now. A little longer but I didn't have the battery in then.

[Nine to go, then. Eerily, Buffy realized that at the rate she was going? She would probably reach her end before Heart got to her tenth year.]

What if someone wants you around for longer? A...client, or a user.

[...Oh] Well, plenty of people keep things longer than they should, right? Probably just replace a few parts here and there, maybe put my processor in a new body or something like that.
