- >You think that's normal
- >"Now for the rest of you. You can open your eyes for that."
- >You do so
- >A good little puppet for master, aren't you
- >Whatever
- >His hand strokes your throat and neck, applying liquid soap
- >He continues down your body
- >You give a little squee as he rubs your belly
- >"Just tell me if I should stop" he says rather matter-of-factly
- >Oh
- >Right
- >His hands are..
- >Traveling down to your..
- >Hey now!
- >You give an involuntary moan as he gently strokes your folds
- >Your hind legs twitch a bit
- >After hesitating for a moment, he continues on to your flank
- >He cops a feel
- >You yelp and blush
- >He laughs and rinses you off
- >Then turns off the water as the two of you are reasonably clean
- >You both step onto the bath mat
- >He fetches a towel and dries off
- >You try to resist the urge to shake off the water like a dog
- >You feel a towel on your head

- "Yesyesyesyesyesyes!"
- >You bounce to anon and project the article so he can read it.
- >"That was q-"
- "Quick! I know! But the important thing is that - it's happening!"
- >Your entire body is shaking with joy
- >Anon smiles at you
- >While not unhappy, he still seems underwhelmed
- >"It's a giant step forward, it truly is. But some people do not give a toss about human rights. Which means that their abuse will only become more low-key."
- >Your ears flatten
- >He's right
- >"Hey. Don't worry. It's the future. We managed to bust a cap in the ass of racism. I'm sure we can do something similar with AIs."
- >You smile at him
- >Your heart is still heavy
- >But you've got to pick yourself up
- >Stop being an emotional little wreck
- >This far you've been very much a burden to Anon
- >You wouldn't blame him if he got sick of you
- >So now it's time to act like a damn grown-up
- >That means not being a drama queen, for one
- >Think of the needs and desires of others for a change

- >"Opera, time?"
- "07:11 Am"
- >"Thank you. That means I have a little time before going to work. "
- >He looks at you
- >"Say, doesn't that mane of yours ever get a bit annoying, just hanging around like that in front of your face?"
- >You blink
- >You hadn't thought of it, but yeah, it does
- "A little. Why do you ask?"
- >"I figured I could show you something my ex-girlfriend taught me."
- >Not sure where this is going
- >Hell with it
- "I'd like that."
- >He pulls out a chair
- >Sits down
- >Hoists you onto his lap
- >"Now, just relax. Lie down if you wish."
- >You do
- >Then he carefully separates your mane into three long, thick strands and starts intertwining them with amazing manual dexterity
- >When he's finished, a beautiful red and white braid hangs over your shoulder
- >"There, that ought to keep it out of your eyes. Which benefits both you, because you get to view the world, and me, because I get to see those gorgeous ruby eyes of yours."
- >He kisses your forehead
- >So many feels are building up inside you
- >Your heart's racing
- >You take a deep breath and keep it all inside, calming down
- >Stay polite
- >Be efficient
- >Be a professional
- >Professionals have standards
- >Not feelings
- >You know who has a lot of feelings?
- >Blokes who bludgeon their wives to death with a bowling trophy
- >Shit, getting off-topic
- >You smile at him
- >You make your tone composed and enunciate clearly
- "Thank you, Anon. I'm flattered."
- >He looks at you and raises an eyebrow
- >"Opera, are you feeling alright?"
- "Affirnative. Why do you ask?"
- >Shit, he's onto you
- >To be fair, you weren't particularly subtle
- >"You just seem to have changed your demeanor all of a sudden."
- "I decided to try and be the best browser I can, which entails not being a neurotic wreck at all times. Now, do you wish to browse something?"
- >Your tone is clipped and business-like
- >Your stomach is twisting
- >Turning
- >Through the never
- >There are pangs of fear in your heart
- >Still you maintain your composure
- >He looks...defeated?
- >"Sure. Let's try some music. Go to youtube and put on "Morgenstimmung" by Edward Grieg."
- "Affirmative."
- >iiiih! You sound so...mature and grown-up and totally cool
- >You do as he says
- >You figure the first link is as good as any
- >You were wrong
- > '-ever gonna give you up'
- >"Opera, what the fuck, close that
- >His voice sounds faint and distorted
- >Like he's talking through glass
- >He repeats himself
- >You snap back reality
- >Ohh, there goes gravity
- >You quickly close the window
- >You don't feel so good
- >Very tired
- >But you pretty much just woke up
- >Everything goes dark
- -You are Anon-
- >Opera just fainted
- >Oh fuck
- >You haven't a clue what caused it
- >She was acting weird
- >She used to be - and still probably is, at least partially - a digital lifeform.
- >You won't let her be derezzed
- >Local IT shop might know what the fuck's going on
- >More than you, at least
- >You pull out your cell and tell your boss that you've just experienced the AI phenomenon
- >Conveniently leaving out that it occurred yesterday
- >She says you can have the day off to deal with it
- >Thank god it's friday
- >Friday
- >Friday
- >No, bad brain
- >You decide to wrap Opera in your sweater to conceal her from prying eyes.
- >You realize you have become Rainboom Crash
- >The legendary winged faggot
- >You'll cry about that later
- >For now, you rush Opera out into your car and put her in the passenger seat, then fasten the seatbelt
- >Car in gear
- >Drive!
