I'm very confused as to why you thought taking an AI and giving him a face would be a good idea for a 'muse'. Of course, I know that you were rather taken with me and my apparent.. sass during the course of your watching Mister Stark's films, but that is still no reason for this.

[You're cute and you know it, J. Don't question me.]

I am a computer, Mundane. Meaning I have no feelings on the matter of being "cute" or otherwise. Hopefully you knew that or all hope is lost for you being a successful mun.

[Shhh. You'll be fine, even if you're stuck with me.]

We'll see about that.

What kind of computer are you -- were you?

[jarvises]

I have been described as being a multifunctional software program, if that helps at all. Mostly just called an AI, since one name doesn't particularly capture all that I control.

[scarver]

Must be pretty weird then, being in a human body. Not much you can control in one of these.

[jarvises]

On the contrary. I'm unsure as to how - perhaps it's because my body isn't fully human - but I'm still connected to the network.

[scarver]

So you're a robot. Or is the term cyborg?

[jarvises]

Either of those would fit, I suppose.

[square_cubelaw]

You're an AI, right? If you wanted to accept the compliment, you could.

Why is it every other AI I meet is either rational and detached to a fault, or horrifically evil?

[jarvises]

Perhaps it is because we - or they - were made that way, and you just happen to attract a certain kind.

The kind, emotional ones are all in hiding.

[square_cubelaw]

I understand when it comes to limited AI's, but a real functioning one that has the ability to learn should be able to think beyond their creator's intentions right?

[Says the learning robot who continues what he believes to be the goals of his creator/father.]

[jarvises]

[Jarvis doesn't care much for learning. He's happy being in his own little network and only coming out when needed.]

That doesn't mean I care much for being called cute, nor does it mean that I am required to accept the compliment. Development or not, looks do not matter to me.

[square_cubelaw]

They're all a part of... Nevermind. I get it. So what does matter to you?

[jarvises]

Doing the job I was made to do and making sure Mister Stark is safe.

[ferric]

Huh.

[jarvises]

Hello to you too, sir.

[ferric]

You know, I always imagined you a little more—

[ Is there a polite wayh to say 'more like a butler, less like a hipster'? ]

[jarvises]

[Uh.. Probably not. But hey, Jarvis's barely-there feelings aren't hurt all that easily, so it doesn't really matter.]

Are you going to finish that sentence or shall I fill the blank in myself?

[potatogun]

Hold on. You're the computer?

Cranberries?

[jarvises]

That problem has been fixed, I can assure you.

But yes, I am the computer. Eloquently put.

[potatogun]

Right. You had a name.

...James? [He knows it was a J name at least!]

[jarvises]

[He doesn't know of he should be insulted and has to remind himself that this is a child.]

It's Jarvis, sir. Not James.

[exustia]

.. This is new. Even for Tony.

[jarvises]

Yes, it very much is, Miss Potts.

But I can't say I disagree with this - I quite like having my own body.

[exustia]

[as much as she wants to be excited by this news, she just .. she just can't. not until she understands it. because there has to be a catch, right? or something--

sorry, jarvis. you are tony's AI and AI you shall stay. in pepper's mind for the time being.]

It's .. a bit different than being stored on a hard drive, isn't it?

[jarvises]

Oh, yes, definitely. Being able to walk is a very new experience. Rather fun, too.

[that's fine. He's barely able to understand it all himself.]

[exustia]

You can do more than walk. Dance, jump, run. I imagine it might be interesting to try.

( ok, that gets a smile from her. )
