Questionable Artistry [Crow/Dale]

The Chimera man would quirk an eyebrow at that reaction, but after a moment of consideration, choose not to pry into the subject further. He did after all make an offer not to. Whatever it was, it appeared to be a personal matter for the guy. Perhaps something that had to do with his home before Junction? That might be a solid guess, but as intriguing as it was, he'd have to pass on it for the time being. Extracting secrets from people wasn't an activity he participated in frequently anyway. Unless something gave him a reason to need to know. Which was a tough thing to come by when the person in question was more or less a stranger he was fortunate enough to run into more than once. "Heh.", he would make a faint sound somewhat sheepishly, blinking at the hasty new drawing. "'s that CWIS's long lost foreign sibling?" ...well, he doubted an AI thing could have legitimate siblings, and this was likely just a random doodle, but the idea sounded funny to him in the moment.

"No...?" He sounds confused. Again. "Don't know what you mean by CWIS's...something..." He shakes his head. "'Fiesta CWIS', they said...? Apparently I gave them those things. Somehow. AIs are weird."
Taking another shot at the sketch...CWIS still looks too thin and too thick in places, and the general shape bends strangely compared to the helpful AI so well known in Junction, but at least the sombrero and maracas look like a sombrero and maracas. "I think they did something to my head...I have 'DVDs' now. I don't even know what they do."

Whoops, well that failed. Crow would shake his head a bit. "It was supposed to be a joke. 's fine though." That one would honestly be way too much effort to try and explain. Most likely, the guy wouldn't really get the point of the joke anyway, unless he made a miracle happen here. He would blink when the other elaborated. Now he was the one not extremely sure of what a thing was supposed to mean. "Fiesta? Sounds like something festive. Strange. I guess AIs can be anything in the end though." The limits to created intelligence depended on how it was made after all, and that could easily vary greatly. Crow would squint at the picture. "Looks interesting, I guess." Funky hat? Well, why not. "...DVDs? Those are like...tools that carry video recordings on them. You could try to play them and see what's there. No idea what an AI would really give you to watch though." No really, he found that odd. He actually didn't hear of CWIS giving out CD stuff before...but not like he pried into such stuff anyway.

"Joke?"
He thought he'd heard that word before but he still didn't know what it actually meant. Some word thing, apparently.

More words he didn't recognise, but at least what he was hearing me some sense. "Yeah. I don't know how they do it, but they do." He starts another pair of sketches, some sort of spider thing made of wires, followed by a wire bird. "That one talked weird... something about 'perimeter integrity'."

So...there was something he could watch on them? That seemed to be the idea. He'd have to assume that's what people meant when they said video recording. He puts down the sketchpad, and...pulls out seasons 3 through 6 of True Self Sentai Personanger. "How do I play these?"]

Yes, joke, hm. "Jokes are usually meant to be things that are funny." It was hard to narrow down that one. Usually funny, yes, but jokes could be used in a more dark and cruel manner too, so the definition of the word was far too diverse to explain simply. And well, Crow had the feeling that if he tried to go too deep, he'd just end up needing to explain a bunch of other words too, turning it all into a never-ending loop. At least, based on what he has noticed about this guy so far. "Heh, I wish I knew. But I'm no AI expert myself." Yeah, he did dabble into computer codes and the like, but he had never thought about doing researches specifically on artificial intelligence matters. It didn't happen to strike his interest before, and it wasn't necessarily in his area of expertise anyway. Those...'beings' were a category of their own for sure.

Blinking at the new sketch, the ash skinned man would distractedly try to scratch the side of his head with his notepad. "...honestly, I have no idea what that really means either. These things look strange though. You meet them here on Junction?" Well, could also be just those...unusual citizens, but he had never seen weird wire robotic beings before, so he decided to ask to be sure. 's not like one could ever be sure about where something hailed from.

"Oh...well, you'd need a device that can play them. You could probably ask around some electronics stores 'bout that. They might have better advice as to what would be the best option for you." He'd assume the guy didn't own such stuff, so it was either buy, or ask somebody to use theirs, probably. He wasn't sure what the guy wanted to try or could afford though, so pointing him to people who would likely know better sounded like a good idea right now.

"Right..." Another thing he only knew by definition. What was...
Actually, there was the time they tried to sound like Chip.
Yeah. That was funny.
He thought.

He shakes his head as he's asked where he met the robotic wire creatures. "Not two things. One thing. Another AI." He freezes briefly as he realises what he's being asked, and doesn't say any more on the subject.

"An electronics store?" That was going to be more money...it was always money at stores. It make life easier in some ways, but he did need that money.
...he had a fair amount at the moment. He could probably get away with it.
"Come on, Chip!" He ushers the little dog onto his shoulder once more, packing up his stuff. "I'll do that, then. I want to see what's on these."

Without the slightest recognition of parting behaviours, Dale gets up and walks off, this time to go find an electronics store.
These 'DVDs' felt important, and he needed to know what was on them.

Touchy subject? Ah well. It was undeniably a strange thing though. So one AI with two bodies? It could have potentially just been a normal part of Junction, though the guy's subtle refusal to answer that question did point to something being off. Crow was curious about the matter, but he wouldn't go out of his way to cause a scene in public just over that. There was no need to pick a bone here. Though, he'd try to keep this fact in mind in case he ever came by something like it later. "They make strange AIs these days.", he would comment thoughtfully, leaving the matter at that for now.

The Chimera man would tilt his head as the guy suddenly started rushing to leave the moment the DVD issue was explained. How Deja Vu, considering a similar thing happened last time they met. Someone's got quick attention shifts for sure. Crow would laugh a bit. "Sure, have fun." Well, he couldn't hold the guy back now, could he? Besides...this made him remember he still had a whole lotta shopping ahead of him. Taking a glance at his notepad, he would frown to himself, before taking one last look in the direction of where the guy walked off and setting off to do his own 'job'...
