[Honestly the only reason this was a video was because Hank hated typing on a computer when it wasn't for work (which he also hated). Except he didn't expect it to turn on so fast.]

Shit is this thing on already? Dammit...

[Welcome friends to seeing Hank Anderson for the first time - old, grumpy, a beard that he barely shaves and hair that haven't been cut in years considering his age. He's wearing an outfit that seems to oddly fit here, but would be very outdated in his time. Besides him, there's a giant Saint-Benard sleeping with drool falling to the floor, as most dogs of this breed do.]

So whatever assholes thought it would be amusing to set me up as a Cyber Security Consultant, maybe they should have looked into my history to know that security and me don't mix. I barely follow any protocols back home. [Which he doesn't mind admitting because who cares. Anyway on to more important things;]

And if you see an android walking around calling himself Connor, lemme know. About six feet tall, perfectly combed hair, a vest with 'Android' written in the back in bright white letters, glowing symbols on his clothing if he's still wearing 'em, an LED circle on his right temple [He points to his own head, that's where it should be], may or may not mutter about deviants, androids, dogs, warning you about your cholesterol intake, complaining about how much you drink, really, you can't miss him.

[OOC: Also his 4th wall post for Hank if you are so inclined. Note that I will consider no reply = no 4th wall.]

[hey. just a giant robot. nbd.]

Oh! I know him. He's pretty nice. Bit weird looking, though. Far as humanoids go.

[What the FUCK A GIANT ROBOT. It's good that he insulted Connor because at least Hank can concentrate on that.]

What do you mean 'a bit weird?'

Re: video

[knaval]

Just... his face. I think it's because he's not human? I mean that in the nicest way possible.

[ slides into this post so fucking fast-- ]

Lieutenant! [ wait. ] I mean-- Hank. [ connor looks maybe the happiest he's ever looked, and his lips part to say something else-- only to pause, then, LED whirring yellow as he abruptly frowns. ] I have a good reason to complain about your cholesterol intake, you know. You should be eating healthier.

[fuckingpassw0rd]

Connor! Figured you'd be around...

[Jesus Christ, Hank hadn't expected to see him that fast but the fact the android corrects himself is both hilarious and comforting. At the other's suggestion he just pretends to be pissed off.]

Yeah well mind your own business, I'll eat what I want. [Sadly his bank account isn't quite up to par with his current eating habits.] What kind of shit did they throw you in as an excuse for-a-job? I should be happy there's enough jobs that they just GIVE you one here, but I'm still way too pissed off at what they've given me.

[determinans]

I was assigned duties as a millennial life coach. I intend to seek new employment, preferably closer to what we did at home.

[ he leans into the screen, then, smiling at sumo. ]

Sumo! I'm very happy to see you, boy. [ then a glance back up at hank. ] Which city have you been housed in, Hank?

Why would Connor wear the word "android" on his clothes?

( video ) gently jacks this thread

[determinans]

Oh, hello Green. I do wear such a jacket. [ he steps back from the frame, then turns to show his back, where 'ANDROID' is stitched in white. he turns back around a moment later, smiling mildly. ] We were required to be readily identifiable as androids. I suppose that I simply haven't found the need to purchase new clothing, as this is still serviceable.

Also because humans are blind.

[Connor after this he's taking you shopping.]

[bookkeeper]

Spoke to an android by that name the other week or so. Nice guy. Friend of yours?

[ Hey, a dog. How did that get there? ]

The dog yours?

[fuckingpassw0rd]

Great, now he's got a head start I'll never hear the end of it. And you could say that, yeah.

[Hank being completely open about his feelings? Pffft. The dog seems to know it's been spoken too, lifting one ear at the noise before continuing to being lazy.]

Yeah of course he is. Had him for over seven years years. Name's Sumo.

[bookkeeper]

What's it like, being amigos with an android?

[ Maybe he can convince Elena to get a dog. ]

Sumo. Does his name have anything to do with sumo wrestling?

[maevelous]

So you're Connor's friend.

[ Maeve might be specifically designed to read between the lines, but she doesn't have to be to be able to tell that this grumpy man is fond of Connor! ]

[fuckingpassw0rd]

I see he's already made his way around...mind telling me what he's told others about me?

[She is indeed very right in her thoughts and statement.]

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

You know about droids?

[And here's a very robot-looking creature - even if he looks like an alien skeletal structure of said robot. Except those eyes, which appear organic but definitely not human.]

[Video]

[fuckingpassw0rd]

Jesus christ!

[Sorry, Hank is still not used to things that look like they'd rip his face off speaking to him. The initial shock having passed, he's tries to look calm.]

You call androids from...where you come from droids?

[namesaquestion]

Better than being a cashier at some stupid cafe or something equally stupid.

[Says the 14 year old who still hasn't changed out from the job he was given.]

[fuckingpassw0rd]

[Wait why the fuck is there a 14 year old speaking to him.]

...Lemme get this straight. They not only get kids to come here, but they force child labor on you?!

[mortalweapon]

I have met Connor.
I informed him how benign and user friendly his appearance is.

Who are you?

[fuckingpassw0rd]

[Robots, angrier looking creatures and now...not sure what hes speaking too. Hank's initial reaction is one of surprise before he goes into proper introductions.]

Yeah they made him that way so he wouldn't appear threatening...

[IF he's going to make a first impression, better make it at least worthwhile.]

Lieutenant Hank Anderson from the Detroit Police Department Central Station. I was working the homicide division with Connor, investigating deviant androids before we showed up. [A pause.] Well no, more like we were. Long story. Dunno if he's filled you in on the details if you already spoke with him.

[storyseeker]

He's just...labeled as an android? That's...helpful, I guess.

[fuckingpassw0rd]

[Hank shrugs.]

It was a law passed so people were able to identify androids from a quick glance. That's why they get the LEDs too.

Oops it’s a text reply;

[imaphantomthief]

You’re friends with a robot?

a beautiful reply

[fuckingpassw0rd]

[ Great. Typing. Okay hold on he's got this... ]

Yeah. What of it?

[determinans]

The technical term is android. We're a very particular sort of robot.
