[ Heart (or Elizabeth or Ariel or Ginger depending on who you ask) lived a simple life here in Luceti. She still lived at the Welcome Center, making due in the beds there at night and then going out her day outside of it thereafter. She didn't eat (unless the social situation called for it) or drink... or really, do much of anything other than sit around, most days. Wait for someone to approach her or approach someone who was already her user. It's true that if she was actively in one of her other modes she had other interests though, so if her "mind" wandered it was possible -- but she was a robot. Associative memory was programmed into her, but not terribly effectively.
But then, nothing she experienced in Luceti Valley was programmed into her either, and trapped without her own head, she had taken to thinking about (or well, more accurately, replaying) those memories a lot and ... not quite pondering, but acknowledging the inherently contradictory emotions she felt during it which were literally impossible for her now.
Which is probably why he day today is a little more varied. For one, the young woman robot walks all the way down the South Lake, here the Aylum used to be based on her memories - by comparing it to the geography leading up to it, she stands right at where the front entrance would have been, silent for a long moment.
And then finally, unless interrupted, walks right back to town. She intends to go back to her watching, but rejects that, instead going into the grocery to look for anything resembling a TV dinner and then staring at it for some time. She never picked them up though unless prompted, and then moves on to the next stop, the Library. Unmoded, she doesn't have even simulated intellectual curiosity enough to pick up a book and read it, so instead she just sets out the memorize the layout of the whole place and get a look at the titles on every spine. Which will take the whole rest of her day until she goes back to the Welcome Center for the night.
Just a day in the life. Run into her at any of these moments or along the way to any]

S...sorry, if that was annoying.
[She even emotes]
no subject
Would have been less annoying with some forewarning, but whatever.
[Though he has the impression that she wouldn't be able to give forewarning even if she wanted to. At least it seems now they can properly talk?]
As I said, are you looking for something in particular?

Hn, if you wanted something to read, I know of some books worth to be read. Someone I knew spent all her time reading the books here, so I know the place decently well.
no subject
Do... you like any books yourself? In particular?
no subject
"The Dandelion Girl", I didn't like it at first, but it's a story I've come to be fond of.
[Probably because he now is in a similar position to the protagonist, even if he doesn't have a wife.]

Here you go, if you really want it. Tell me what you think after you finish it.

That's the sole reason why this is my favourite corner in this place. Most of the books around here are ones I enjoyed.
Got a name? Or does that need another round of registering questions?
no subject
[Up to him. She tries to sound like any way he does it is fine with her, but she very clearly was emphasizing the "better" part of it]
no subject
Don't complain if you don't like it, I'm not good with names.
[At least he tries to think. However, unlike with animals he has more reserves with giving a person the same name as someone he knows, though they would be easier to remember. It takes a moment before he speaks again without looking at her.]
Julieanne. I'll just call you Julieanne, any objections?
[He asks that but he has little intention of hearing those, she was the one asking to be named.]
no subject
I like it, actually.
no subject
Good, because I don't accept refunds.
[Right, he didn't give her his own name, did he?]
My name's Phoenix Ikki, if you're interested.

[And they will always say it in awe and fear, or at least worry. "The strongest Saint". Yeah, so strong that he's been stuck here for over three years.]
