Hello everyone. I am K-2SO.

[An introduction, because he hasn't actually posted to the Network himself in a while.]

I have an announcement to make.

[Does it have anything to do with the recent Jedi drama??? Maybe Padme getting elected??

No.

Instead he puts on display a picture of Skeets.]

This is Skeets. He is objectively perfect. He also is my boyfriend now.

I just wanted everyone to know. That is all.

[Yeah, he's basically just doing this. He's pretty happy right now, which might be why he's making such a dumb post. But let him just have this once, okay?]

[ she shrugs her shoulders. ] You wear clothes to feel good. Fancy clothes to feel richer than what you are. [ she suspects. watching the reality tv shows available here has taught raven that if you have money, spend it on useless shit, like jackets and handbags that'll get dirty within minutes of working on a car. ]

What do you do when you go on one of your romantic date things? Do you just wear ... nothing?

[reexamined]

We've had one date technically so far, and I didn't wear anything.

You think I should be dressing 'fancy' specifically for our next dates.

[specialise]

If you want to try something different. You could totally pull off red.

[ she doesn't recommend red because it's her favourite colour or anything. ]

[reexamined]

Are you sure?

[He's not totally buying this.]

[specialise]

[ in all fairness, this is raven's first time being a fashion consultant. sorry, k-2so. ]

Or blue? Do you like blue? [ her eyes narrow in thought, and she tilts her head to the side. ] Do you have a favourite colour?

[reexamined]

Black.

[Predictable.]

[specialise]

[ raven rolls her eyes. she should've guessed that one. ]

Second favourite?

[reexamined]

[The briefest of pauses, as he hasn't thought about it, but quickly returns with:]

Gold.

[..............Yeah, this isn't going to be easy.]

[specialise]

[ raven holds her hand up, index finger pointing upwards. ] One minute.

You don't like to make things easy, do you? [ she ends up looking at her phone, clicking away quickly. it only takes a few moments before she's sending him an image attachment. ]

[ she's grinning. ] I found the perfect jacket for you.

Isn't the point of this exercise to impress him?

[specialise]

[ the duh! look raven gives him should tell him as much. ]

It's not meant to make you win best dressed at that costume party.

[ halloween, raven. you mean halloween. ]

[reexamined]

It will earn me "worst jacket" the moment I step outside.

[specialise]

Not if you wear it with confidence. [ it's fairy godmother time. raven only knows what she knows from those model shows with the fierce lady always striking poses on the panel. her fashion advice from home is so limited, though she does know how to wear dirt with a certain type of fierceness. ]

I once wore a red jacket no one could pull off, but I did. I believed in myself.

[reexamined]

[A manufactured heavy sigh.]

If you can find me that jacket, I will wear it the next date we have as humans. It won't fit me as a droid.

[mostly because he doesn't care about what kind of clothing he wears, but if she's so sure he'd look good in it, maybe he will?]

[specialise]

[ dude. you better work out for this jacket to fit you snug in feb. ]

Your human self better have those shoulders, or this isn't going to work.

[ js. ]

[reexamined]

Of course my human self has shoulders, all humans have shoulders.

[He's not getting it.]

[specialise]

But do you have good shoulders? Just because you've got shoulders as a human doesn't mean you have those impressive bad boys.

[reexamined]

I don't think so. I don't think my human form is particularly impressive in any respect.

...How do I get "impressive" shoulders? Typical exercise?

[specialise]

Maybe ... [ she lifts her own shoulders. truth be told, raven has no fucking idea. ] Or you dress to impress. You know, sometimes the best shirts sculpt your body to give off the impression all of you is incredibly impressive.

You've got to dress to impress, buddy. Do you really think I'm as giant as a giraffe? Hell no! I just wear my stripes the right way and give the illusion I'm a goddess of legs.

[ all of this is brought to you by project catwalk. ]

[reexamined]

You mean like a courtship display. Using colorful and distracting "plumage" into convincing your potential mate you're attractive.

[specialise]

It's not convincing.

[ it is, though, raven. but for the sake of her argument! ]

It's highlighting the fact that you are one attractive robot. Sometimes people don't know what they have until it's looking a little different. [ if it comes out a little heavier than it should, sobering raven's face, then she's not going to take note of it. finn had been an ass. professor skeets and k-2so have an advantage of being artificial intelligence, thus already better than mankind. ]

[ god, it's almost like she has a.l.i.e. still stuck in her brain. ]

[reexamined]

I'm sure, based on your conversation with him about my hips, that he's quite aware of what he has.

[But she doesn't look like she's joking around as much, and so K-2 changes the subject slightly.]

I will still be taking your advice of exercising. I see no harm in it, aside from initial physical discomfort.
