[Talk - Jurou, Ping, Tiffani]

Jurou waved at me as I sidled up to the empty buffet bar. Ping stood there, and Tiffani knelt behind her, inspecting a plate of metal in the robot’s back.

Jurou

Howdy!

Timaeus

Oh… Howdy! Ahaha.

Ping

Hoowwwwdeeeee… Adding to dictionary!~

Ping emitted a little jingle, and Tiffani groaned in frustration.

Tiffani

Oh my god look what you did. She’s gonna start talking like fucking Larry the Cable Guy.

Jurou

Wha’s yer problem? ‘S more efficient! Y’can, uh… smush words t’gether, an’ talk faster!

Timaeus

Uh, I think the word you want is… contractions?

Jurou

Yeah that! We got loads o' contractions! ‘Ey Ping, can ya say… y’ain’t?

Timaeus

…You all are not? That is faster! Y’ain’t!

Ping

Y’ain’t… Adding to dictionary!~

Jurou burst out laughing, and I couldn’t help but giggle too. Tiffani just growled and poked away at the little control panel.

Tiffani

I won’t stand for this shit, I’m gonna pry open this goddamn panel and find the vocabulary editor–

Jurou

Y’all’d’ve!

Timaeus

You all would have… Y’all’d’ve!

Ping

Y’all’d’ve… Adding to dictionary!~

Jurou

‘Kay, whaddabout… Y’all’d’ve’f’I’d’ve?

Tiffani

That cannot possibly be real oh my god shut the fuck up–

Ping

Fuck… Adding to dictionary!~

Timaeus

NO!!

Jurou

NOOOO!!!

Tiffani

Look, if she gets to say y’ain’t, she gets to say fuck, okay? It’s only fair!

Jurou

She’s a babby! Three years old!! She’s too young fer swears!!!

Ping

Fuck!

Jurou immediately clapped a hand over Ping’s mouth.

Timaeus

Tiffani, can you like… reset the dictionary or something?

Tiffani

That’s what I was trying to do in the first place. Ishi taught her a bunch of obnoxious bullshit already.

She glared over my shoulder at my best friend and terrible influence.

Timaeus

Ishi!!! How long were you running around by yourself with your arm like that?!

Ishi

I didn’t do nothin'! You can’t prove it!!

Ping

Wassup binches?

Timaeus

Just… just reset it. Please.
