“Heeeey, Eleven?” Ava wanders around in close proximity to wherever A-SH Mk. 11 happens to be at the moment, looking the most chipper she’s been since the trial and being kicked all the way into last place.
“You here? Ava-senpai wants to talk to you!”

The automaton was silently staring at the (lack of) activity in the lake. It's a little somber, actually.
Gently, they turn their head at Ava's call. The mechanical whirrs of her body moving disturbing the peace enough for any insects or little birds nearby to scurry away.
"Oh, hello." They smiled softly, and waved. "What can I do for you?"

“We’ll get to that.” The sing-songy reply and devious smile on her face are… a little bit of a red flag.
“First off-“ She continues, immediately shifting to be more serious, “I don’t think any of that ‘prank’ business from before the fire was your fault, ‘kay? You were being taught the wrong things by the other dickheads here.” She really just cuts right to the chase sometimes, huh?
After a moment of staring at A-SH expectantly, she clears her throat. “Anyways, I’m, like, super bored with all this nature around, so I decided it was time for another anime lesson with your favorite senpai! How’s that sound?”

"I am responsible for my own actions, regardless of what influenced them." They frown a little and look down, avoiding any sort of eye contact. "What has happened to Jackson is not exactly my fault, yet I cannot help but feel a little responsible. I had gotten caught in the moment, instead of thinking about what might come from my actions. ...And now I am not even in the lead for points, so it appears it was pointless."
They turn back to the water and stare at it some more. "I think the nature out here is beautiful. I think all of it is beautiful, actually. It is all so... effortless. It is able to flourish on its own, without any sort of human intervention. Even with it, these things can live in harmony with each other, without the disturbance of anything mechanical. It is wonderful, I think."
"...Ah, but, the Anime you have is really interesting, too..."

“…I never thought about it like that before…” Ava mutters her response to Eleven’s deep musings on the beauty and wonders of nature with all the sincerity of a pasty nerd who spends all of her free time hunched over in front of a computer.
“Well, um, I didn’t mean to interrupt your alone time out here, I just… wanted to spend some time with you. We could watch anime now and hang out here later, or some other time? Or I could join you out here, I dunno-“

"No, it is fine. We can do whatever you'd like." They smile a little now, looking back at Ava.
"You came out here to get me, it is only right that I follow you back. Like some sort of party-member..."
"Do you want to watch something inside then?"

The little gremlin smiles back, looking genuinely excited as she offers her hand to Eleven.
“Sure! I’ve got my laptop and my bunk all set up for us to watch one of Ava-senpai’s favorites today. I even scrounged up some batteries from around the cabin and garage. I uh, felt kinda bad that you can’t snack or anything, like me, but maybe you could like, suck the energy outta those? Is that something you can do?”

Post by Kachu on Sept 20, 2023 18:34:16 GMT
"No, I cannot do anything like that..." They frown a little. Was sucking on batteries actually out of the question? "But that does not matter. I am happy to enjoy spending time with you, regardless if I am able to consume anything or not."
Gently, they reach out and take Ava's hand. "What um... were you interested in watching today, Senpai?" The way they speak and say such a word with their stern and monotone voice is rather jarring, but this is how they're being raised now.

Ava’s mood deflates since she epic bacon narwhal failed, as it were, with the whole battery thing. But she quickly perks back up again as she interlocks her fingers with Eleven’s and pulls the robot through the beautiful nature surrounding them to the dingy run-down cabin.
“Today, we’re really kicking it up a notch, Eleven-chan!” Yes. This is happening. “Not in terms of like, sexy stuff- we’re amping it up emotionally! A true classic romance, as far as I’m concerned. Today we’re watching Strawberry Panic!!”

"Hrmm?" The automaton clumsily follows Ava along, nodding at the Anime of the day like she understand what that is, but truthfully she has no idea.
"Can fruits panic..? Senpai, I am afraid I do not understand the meaning and name of this show. How can a succulent, cute strawberry find love..?"

“Oh, it’s not about actual fruit—“ Ava starts to explain, like the good senpai she is, as she pulls Eleven into the girls’ room, flopping down onto her bunk while still gripping her kouhai’s hand tenderly.
“Well, I mean, it is about fruit, because, y’know, gay girls,” she says even though she probably has not explained to Eleven what ‘fruity’ means as a colloquialism, “but not like, fruit-fruit. I don’t actually know why it’s named after strawberries. It’s about three connected all-girls catholic boarding schools, up on a hill. The girls that go there fall in love with each other and get into secret relationships and get jealous and stuff. It’s a classic.”
It aired in 2007.

"Why on earth are there three separate schools on a hill?" Eleven asks an admittedly strange question. Why does that matter when there's gay girls?
"Perhaps the women are meant to represent the fruit? Attending a nice school under the guide of an unaccepting authority, these girls are ripening in front of each other- and their relationships need to blossom for them to spread their wings and soar, becoming their true selves?"
"Perhaps they taste each other- each of them as sweet as a succulent fruit, just enjoying the company of each other while sprouting underneath the harsh sun, one that you'd be closer to while on top of a hill?"
What the hell is she even saying?
"I would like to watch this. It sounds interesting."

“Woah…” Ava listens to Eleven exposit her, admittedly very deep, theories about the potential themes and symbolism of Strawberry Panic!, looking so proud that her student has come so far in such a short time… then she promptly attempts to tug the robot onto her bed.
“Well if you’re so excited to watch it, get over here already, dummy!” Why yes, Ava did tell Eleven with the utmost seriousness that cuddling is an essential part of watching anime with Ava-senpai. Mandatory, even.

The automaton is akin to a cold blooded creature- one that is rather heavy. Still, they are easily able to discern Ava's attempt and they willingly flop over onto Ava's bed without much fuss. They're not exactly warm to the touch, however. At least not in the current circumstance.
Nodding along, the movement gently causing her hair to bob and sway a little, Eleven sits all prim and proper, with their legs pressed close together like a nice schoolgirl would. "How long is this show, Senpai?" They ask, though it's not as if the answer really matters. "Do you think you will need more to eat? Will we be binging this in one session, again?"

Ava immediately half-sits on top of Eleven, laying on top of their lap like a very firm, cold, metallic cushion. Probably isn’t super comfortable, but, she does it regardless. The lengths touched-starved girlies will go to…
“26 episodes; nah, I can get something to eat if I’m hungry after; and, yeah, I wanted to, unless you’ve got something else to do tonight.” Ava cranes her head up to look at Eleven as best she can from her position, while rattling off her responses and getting her laptop ready so they can actually start their binge.

Eleven doesn't react much, but this isn't because she's a cold, lifeless machine. More because she doesn't really understand this whole thing. She lets it happen though and smiles.
"I do not have any other plans for my time tonight, so we should be able to watch everything uninterrupted."
She smiles while the little gremlin clings to her (it's cute) and peeks around to try and get a good (good enough, rather) view of the little laptop screen. It's amazing how far technology has come to create her, yet personal computers are still shit...
"If you're comfortable, then we should begin!" They said excitedly.

Post by Akkordian on Sept 22, 2023 18:36:14 GMT
“Hell yeah.” Ava makes herself even more comfortable (figuratively, since Eleven’s lap probably isn’t super comfy) on top of Eleven and hits play.
The first episode starts out as you’d probably expect, introducing the premise and all that. Ava almost immediately starts talking over the show, “Yeah, so like, all the schools are on Astraea Hill. But they’re not different schools, it’s the same school but just split up for elementary, middle, and high school.”
“Oh, oh! The protagonist is gonna start crushing on that silver-haired girl right there. She’s an upperclassman, I think. And personally I feel like she has better chemistry with her roommate, but, hey, that’s what fanfics are for.”

"Fanfiction, being the medium where various users of the internet are able to bring their dreams and fantasies to life, with their own stories... Perhaps I should write one of these some day." They smile wide and nod along with Ava's words, watching the show.
"Silver hair? That is quite similar to my own, is it not? Yet my hair is not actually natural... Oh! But we are all room-mates as well, are we not? That is interesting..." They mumble something to themselves very quietly but it's not really able to be heard by anybody.
She DOES, however, end up putting her hands on Ava's shoulders, or wrapping them around her torso when she leans over her shoulder to get a closer look at the dinky little laptop screen. it's kinda cute idk

Ava smiles like the devious little gremlin that she is, hugging Eleven’s arms since that’s the option I’m godmodding into happening because I think it’s FREAKING cute. Getting Eleven to actually cuddle with her like this means that her absolutely genius keikaku* is falling into place. That’s what she thinks at least idk
She tilts her head up towards theirs again as the banger of an ending song buffers into the unbelievably iconic opening. Kind of interesting that she said Nagisa ‘starts crushing’ on Shizuma when the opening literally shows Shizuma grabbing the shorter girl’s chin as they lean in for a kiss but whatever Ava’s just quirky. She’s not like the other girls; she’s worse.
“I’d actually love to see a fanfic written by you! You’re like a supercomputer but with a pretty face and a cute bob.”
(Translator’s Note: “Keikaku” is Japanese for “freaking epic plan”)

"I am not certain what I would write about. All I know is astronomy." The automaton frowns a little. But she also was really letting Ava do whatever she wanted to her, so she's not super bummed out. Hanging out with a cute girl is nice.
"But I suppose as I learn more and more about... anime... I can consider it as something to study more in the future. Perhaps it will serve as some sort of inspiration..."
This character's writer does not know anything about this anime they're watching but I'm willing to bet Eleven is having a good time watching anything.

“Ooh, astronomy is a good theme, actually!” Ava reassures Eleven by squeezing the robot’s hand gently under hers, “There’s totally potential with like, sun and moon-themed lesbians, or like, star-crossed lovers that are like actual constellations or something. I really think you should try it!”
The episodes keep rolling and it’s very gay snd dramatic but I think it’s kinda taking a backseat to the real important stuff. Like Ava wiggling around in Eleven’s lap and initiating a handhold.
“And that totally reminds me, your adorable senpai requests that we cuddle and watch Sailor Moon together very soon.”

"Sun and Moon themed...?" The friendly (and cute) robot mumbles out softly, not really sure what that could mean. But it's clear she's thinking about it.
Of course, as the show continues, they offer no resistance to Ava's antics. Perhaps they even like it?
"Ah, um... Senpai..." She takes her free hand and brings it to her chin, imitating what some humans do when they're thinking. They squeeze Ava's hand as well, but like, not crushing it or anything weird. "Sailor Moon is about Magical Girls? I think it was? That sounds lovely, actually..."
She made no comment about cuddling, which might sound bad, but she's also not saying no to it, so...

“Ooh, you’re really interested!” Ava excitedly chirps as she turns around slightly on Eleven’s lap, so she can look up at the automaton from below. Their faces are pretty close like this…
“Do you wanna watch it right now? We can always pick this show back up some other time.” Eleven’s adorable senpai takes advantage of her new side-saddle position by placing the hand that sadly doesn’t have a robotic one to hold anymore on her kouhai’s metallic waist.

"I um, w-well..." Despite being a machine, and unable to properly express emotions like people, it's obvious that the position the two girls are in is starting to become apparent to the automaton. She's quite nervous. Is it because it's her first time, or because Ava is really cute?
"Whichever you prefer would make me happiest, I think. If we finish this now, or watch something else... Regardless, I am enjoying my time with you here, just like this..."

"Uh uh uh!" Ava shakes her head, her twintails probably brushing against some part of Eleven's face, chest, or shoulder as it whips around, "That's not the right answer. Ava-senpai wants to know what you want, Eleven." She lowers her voice just a smidge and smirks wickedly as she lowers her eyelids wuh oh, "'cause this isn't about me, silly, it's about us. Spending quality time together, watching some educational shows together to please that beautiful robo-brain of yours, snuggling up together..."
She wiggles around in the android's lap for good measure, pulling herself just the tiniest bit closer with the arm wrapped around Eleven's waist, "Which is the part you're enjoying, yeah? Getting to hold your Ava-senpai so close and tight in your lap? Just like this...?"

"Considering my usual choices in activities, recreational or related to some of my primary functions, I must confess that I find this to be quite enjoyable." Eleven begins to ramble off, speaking quickly, almost as if they were nervous.
"But yes... I suppose you're correct. As simple as it might be, this is a great pleasure of mine... I've had little time to properly analyze these sorts of... thoughts."
She turns her head, and if she were human her cheeks would be bright red. Naturally, though, she makes no effort to resist Ava or deny any of her words. "...We can spend lots of time like this, if you would like. You're... warm."

“I’d love that.” Ava responds, her voice attempting to sound husky as she thankfully drops the whole talking in third-person thing. She lets out a long breath as she leans all her weight on Eleven, placing her head in the crook of their metallic neck and shoulder.
“Getting all nice and snug with a cutie like you is one of the reasons I even signed up for this stupid show. And I would love to inspire even more thoughts in that pretty little head of yours… if you’d like.
