the blue fairy came

[There's a Riku sitting in the kitchen, attempting to eat his soup with a fork. Obviously, it doesn't go too well.]

Difficult.

(ooc: Uh, Richard here is a robot who recently turned human and learning how to actually function as one is hard. Also, he still hasn't really gotten used to talking so his responses may be short. )

[to the kitchen for coffee-... what the hell?]

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

[is trying really hard, doesn't even notice Vexen.]

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

You would have better luck with the use of a spoon.

[doesn't realize this is the robot, though he's placing a spoon on the table.]

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

[picks up the spoon, examining it.]

Why do humans need so many tools for consuming food?

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

Because texture and solidity varies.

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

Complicated.

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

Quite.

[returns to getting his coffee.]

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

Master did not include this in my original programming.

[carefully lifts up a spoonful of soup.]

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

[pauses, then looks back.]

You are the robot?

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

Yes. Turned human a few days ago.

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

Odd.

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

It feels strange.

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

I would imagine so.

[someone needs his coffee~]

How's it going?

[doesn't notice the fork since he needs caffeine.]

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

This is difficult.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[pours himself a cup then looks over to Richard... oh.]

You should try using a spoon.

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

What is a spoon?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he opens a drawer and takes out a spoon. he walks over to the table and sits down across from Richard.]

Here you go.

Why do humans need to use so many things for the purpose of consuming food?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

We don't need them as much as we use them anyway.

[doesn't even notice the 'we'.]

You could always drink the soup directly from the bowl, but that's mostly considered bad manners.

[sips coffee.]

Why is it bad?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

I don't know. A lot of cultural things don't make sense. And I doubt anyone in here would care much either way.

[dawndroid.livejournal.com]

I do not understand why one way of consuming food is bad while another is not.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

According to a book I read...

[he's been reading a lot lately. it's almost becoming an obsession...]

It's been theorized to have both sanitary and social reasons. A long time ago people didn't wash that often, and so eating with your hands was considered a bad thing.

[just proceeds to attempt at eating using the spoon. he spills a little, but things go much better now.]
