Muse got accepted to both Amatomnes and Paradisa. Mun is thrilled. Muse is not.

[knight_2000]

So. You've decided to re-introduce me to the land of the living. How thoughtful of you. You must be so proud.

I want my real body back, thank you.

Your real body?

[knight_2000]

I am a car, not a human. Yet she thought it would be amusing to put me into games where I become human.

[bakery_owner]

.....

A car?

[Yeah, Tachibana doesn't buy it.]

[knight_2000]

Yes, a car. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, a black 1982 Trans Am.

Why? Do you think I like being a human?

[bakery_owner]

And just what exactly is wrong with being human?

[knight_2000]

You're not cars. [Obviously]

[bakery_owner]

What sort of logic is that?

[...great, a crazy man's trying his patience.]

[knight_2000]

My logic, which is perfectly logical. I am - was - an AI, after all.

[HE'S crazy? YOU'RE crazy. Two can play at that game!]

[bakery_owner]

[You're just mad he's not Michael, Kitt.]

Maybe it's perfectly logical to you. It seems to me that insisting that something is better just because it is or isn't something else is the lazy way out.

Also, a 1982 Trans Am? Couldn't you pick a better car. Like a Ferrari, for instance.

[knight_2000]

[Very likely, that]

Fine. Having been a car until very recently, I prefer it. How would you like it if you suddenly woke up in a car body after having been human all your life?

Don't go there. You have no idea what I used to be capable of. No Ferrari could match me.

[bakery_owner]

I don't think that's likely to happen.

And I don't see how you can say a Trans Am is better than a Ferrari. They don't even make the Trans Am anymore, you know!

[knight_2000]

And I didn't either. Funny how things work out, isn't it?

It's only 1986. What are you talking about? I was heavily customized. Worth over $20 million dollars. Now I'm an ordinary human, just like everyone else.

[bakery_owner]

If I find myself suddenly running on four cylinders, you'll be the first to know.

1986? Try adding twenty years to that. And $20 Million US seems way too pricy for a Trans Am-- my Ferrari wasn't even close to that!

[knight_2000]

I can't wait to hear it.

2006? [Sighs] I told you - I was heavily customized. It isn't cheap maintaining an AI in an automobile, you know.

[bakery_owner]

I think they all come standard now.

[Granted, not to the level of Kitt's AI, but you know.]

[knight_2000]

Ridiculous. [He snorts dismissively]

[He would certainly hope not!]




OOC: Sorry he's such a jerkface. Becoming human isn't easy!

[bakery_owner]

Well, I don't think it's necessary either, but it seems to be the way things are going these days! Of course, I enjoy manual transmission and most people are content with automatic...

[OOC: No worries! Tachibana's not exactly being nice either. :P HE'S A GOOD GUY, I SWEAR.]

[knight_2000]

I was an automatic. [Sniffs derisively] No joking about it.

OOC: Kitt is too! When he's not being a snarky little bitch. :)

[bakery_owner]

There's no pleasing you, is there?

[knight_2000]

Is your name Michael Knight? Are you going to come rescue me from wherever I've found myself? Then you've answered your own question.

[bakery_owner]

.... Your 'prince', I take it? [Yes, he's somewhat joking from his tone. Not that he's judging, as two of his good friends are gay...]

[knight_2000]

My driver. [He's not gay! At least, he thinks he's not gay? There's no guarantee...]

1/2

[bakery_owner]

.....

2/2

[bakery_owner]

You do realize how that sounds, RIGHT?

[knight_2000]

... No? How does it sound? [Genuinely confused now]
