Kleinfeld, Annie's Manhattan | Thursday Afternoon

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie was trying to be more excited than nervous today, but no matter what, the two were kind of co-mingling anyway. She might -- hopefully? -- get her wedding dress today! And she'd be filming an episode of television in the process, but whatever, that was just work, right?

And she was bringing Diego's sister. And her Fandom friends. And Maeve.

It would be fine.

And if she kept saying it would be fine, then it would be!

In any case, they were here -- along with a film crew, a gal who was not being shy at all about touching up makeup, Annie's boss Ashley (and her ubiquitous clipboard), and a bridal consultant who seemed torn between being thrilled at her big break and also like she might throw up.

"Oh my God, like a robot assistant." Annie's eyes were huge at the idea, because that was great. "Diego's mom was an android, too, so there's kind of a tie-in in a way."

Though they did not have any other robots on that side of the family, to her knowledge.

Or hers, for that matter. (...to her knowledge.)

"....did I know Diego's mom was an android?" asked Summer, blinking, because she felt like that was something she would have remembered, and was it weird that she was a little irritated that having an android mother easily blew having a cloned mother right out of the park on the weirdness factor? Like, geez, guys, you really were going to make her work for it now, weren't you?

"Adoptive mom, anyway," Annie clarified, because she really had no idea about Diego's bio-family but she assumed they had been humans. (Probably ought to check on that before thinking about kids, yikes.) "But yeah. Really sweet robot lady his dad built to raise the kids. I made cookies with her when we went for his funeral."

And then Annie had met the woman that robot's likeness had been based upon back in 1963, which hadn't been weird at all, don't worry!

(It was also kind of Annie's fault if there were paradox problems resulting from telling that Grace that Reginald was a bad person.)

(Oops?)

"I mean, that's kind of awww, but also, like, major yikes, too," Summer said, her head tilting a little bit as more nuances seemed to form in her brain the longer she thought about it. "But, then again, we once had a butter robot that started to question its existential purpose in life that lead to dogs gaining sentience and taking over the Earth once, so that's the kind of perspective I'm coming from. And now I'm wondering if having, like, a robot assistant would somehow be, you know...offensive."

"I mean," Annie said, actually considering that probably more than was strictly necessary because robot feelings seemed pretty important if you wanted to prevent an uprising, "like, Grace -- their robot mom -- was built to nurture these kids so I think she enjoyed it, but if I'm interpreting 'butter robot' right then that probably was part of the problem."

Robot that passed butter, right? Obviously.

"So maybe if it was a robot assistant that chose it. Like, it loves weddings or something." A romantic robot.
