Science Talk/Girl Talk
Andrea paced nervously, various programs of differing weight and thought-strings running rapidly through her processor. She was beginning to fear she was experienced cascade failure. She was beginning to think she was defective. She was beginning to think there was something seriously wrong with several of her systems. Vincent had done some work on them, including putting considerable design effort into her "skin", but the bulk of the work and science work in general was done by Kristoff.

So she sought him out, using the Baxter Building's computer to locate him. "Kristoff?" she asked, as she approached. "May I speak with you?"

	Better to not get Kristoff started on the sporadic nature of his beloved brother's applying himself to science. But that was neither here nor there. She looked worried, and that had Kristoff concerned. "Certainly, Andrea. How can I help?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I believe I am in need of a complete systems diagnostic. My own self-scans reveal nothing, but that does not mean there is not something wrong." She shook her head. "I have been experiences... glitches, irregularities of late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would be more than happy to, of course," he says as he invites her into the lab and offers a seat. "But what sort of irregularities have you been experiencing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She took the seat and closed her eyes for a moment, calling up the relevant files she had recorded in the event this conversation became necessary.

"I am having software glitches that force me to spend inordinate amount of time and processing power focusing on Vincent, as well as rhythmic and temperature irregularities when he is present, or when others focus their attentions on him. I find myself unusually concerned with whether or not my appearance or actions would appeal to him, spending much processing power calculating that. My systems have never been this singularly focused before."

Kristoff raises a slight eyebrow and mutters "A moment, Andrea," before pressing a button for the communication system. "Cassandra? At your next convenience, could you possibly join Andrea and myself in the lab? I would be grateful for your input." Very, very grateful.

Then. "To begin with, Andrea, let me say that I find it highly unlikely you are experiencing a significant systems malfunction. In fact, I dealt with very similar issues at a similar development stage." Because 'when I was your age' doesn't really work when she's technically three years old. "It is...quite normal, actually."

	"What's the problem?" Cassie asked, stepping into the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-13 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	"What is quite normal?" she asked Kristoff. "I do not understand. Your thoughts continued to focus on your brother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-13 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Kristoff blinks. "No, not on Vincent... Cassandra, hello." He looks over to Cassie, a touch of 'I am so glad you're here' in his eyes. "Andrea and I were just discussing.... a recent tendency to find herself fixating on matters regarding Vincent. I was attempting to assure her that there is probably nothing wrong with her systems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-07-13 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah..." Cassie pretended to cough to cover her laugh. "Well Andrea that's..." She barely stifled a giggle. "Excuse me for a moment." She quickly ducked back outside and laughed. A lot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-13 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	Well, now she was more confused than ever. Especially with Cassandra laughing so loudly. "If I am not malfunctioning... then what is happening to me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-13 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, thank you so much, beloved, that was very helpful. "You are merely...taking a particular interest in Vincent." Kristoff frowns. "There was a time, much earlier in Cassandra's and my acquaintance, where I was surprised to find how much I was thinking of her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-07-13 01:28 pm UTC (link)
	Cassie stepped back inside. "Sorry about that. Andrea, you're in love. Or at least infatuated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-13 01:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," she said simply, processing this new piece of information and cross-referencing it against other files. "...What do I do now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-07-13 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah well..." That was the million dollar question. "Personally I don't think I'm the best person to ask for help from when it comes to... stuff like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-13 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	He looks from Cassie to Andrea. "I am...hardly an expert myself, but the first thing to keep in mind is that there is Nothing Wrong With You. These are perfectly normal feelings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-13 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I see," Andrea replied, adding the information to her total processing calculations. "Do you... Do you think Vincent might feel the same way?" She calculated, processing various other bits of information. "No. He is too attracted to other women. Real women. He would not have feeling beyond friendship for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-13 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	"I think it highly probable, I assure you," Kristoff says earnestly. "Whether he is able to deal with the matter maturely is a completely different matter, I am afraid. And surely you should know by now, Andrea, that 'real' is an irrelevant term of reference in emotional matters. Speaking as someone who is not his 'real' brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-13 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Andrea's expression lightened ever so slightly. "Vincent is not prone to stable relationships. The statistics I have on his dating habits are quite... varied." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-13 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"The longest being three weeks and four days, yes. An unfortunate habit he will have to outgrow at some point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-14 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Statistically unlikely, given past behavior," Andrea said. "Unless some new element is introduced, forcing change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-14 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Kristoff frowns slightly. "That is based on merely a year of data, and... seriously, Andrea, this seems like a potentially very different situation than the parade of girls whose names he rarely bothers to tell me. So please do not let yourself get disenheartened or upset about the matter so soon." Ohhh, he and Vincent are finally going to have a talk soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-07-14 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"Andrea," Cassie began gently. "Vincent knows you and cares about you." And is completely clueless about being in love with her but that should go unmentioned for now. "He's not going to treat you like the other girls. You're too important to him. Don't base everything on his past relationships. Not that you should ignore them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2009-07-14 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Andrea nodded in response to Kristoff and Cassandra's words. "If you say so," she said, "then I will believe it to be true." She seemed to brighten a little bit at this. "Should I... speak to him, about this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-07-14 05:46 am UTC (link)
	Kristoff pauses thoughtfully. "Yes. Soon. But...perhaps not immediately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
