Video: BB-8 says hi

[flightforfreedom]

[ Hello network. When the video first comes on, all that's really visible is the ceiling, and the audio is a soft, gentle snore. A second later, however, a spherical white and orange droid rolls into view, looming over the camera. He beeps a hello in Binary, though the meaning translates well enough regardless, and then proceeds to type using a tiny extendable arm onto Poe's communicator. ]

Network query: How best to make idiot human happy?

Additional optional query: How many have idiot humans?

Additional request: How best to delete network messages and/or bribe communication devices to not show them.

Thank you.

repeatedly.

my first human. I didn't succeed with her because I wasn't enough like the man she wanted me to be. I was too much like a robot.

then I tried to make someone else happy. and I didn't succeed because I was too much my own person, not enough like a robot.

I would suggest that perhaps the fault did not lie in your ability, but in the expectations of those individuals for you to be something other than you are.

I know I cannot offer Poe the same happiness that a human can, despite our relationship. But he accepts me exactly as I am, and I offer what I can.

Maybe. I suppose you're right, in a way. Maybe I just have bad luck making friends.

He sounds like a good man.

[flightforfreedom]

He is a good man.

May I suggest: he would be a good friend.

I happen to be in the market for one of those just now.

Maybe you can introduce us, when he's awake?

[flightforfreedom]

It would likely be best to meet in person - Poe is always most easily able to make friends when physical contact is possible.

Is there a particular date and time that would suit?

[subroutined]

Any time would be fine. I just wrapped recording the newest block of episodes for my job. And I don't sleep or anything, so I can meet him late if that would work better for him.

[ There is a pause as BB-8 computes, and then he sends a date and time set in the evening, a week later. ]

Would this suffice?

[subroutined]

Yes, that'll do! I'll put it in my calendar.

[flightforfreedom]

Good!

What kind of venue would you prefer?

Does he like films?
We could go to a movie.
