- >Mr. Clark was awoken from his deep sleep by a shout downstairs
- >He was immediately confused, as his wife lay beside him, and being a school night, his well-behaved children rarely stayed up past 9:30
- >Putting his glasses on, he could now read the digital clock on his bedside table
- >1:49, the red numbers glowed in the dark room
- >Another obscenity echoed from the floor below, undoubtedly a female voice
- >With a tired sigh, he lifted himself out of bed and put his slippers on
- >Sluggishly moving down the stairs, he heard the sound of upbeat techno music growing louder
- >As he entered the living room, he found the culprit
- >The family's nandroid, Denise, was sitting on the couch, clutching a video game controller and alertly paying attention to the screen
- >The television displayed a gritty military shooter game, but contrasting it, the laptop screen at her side showed three dancing animated characters, singing in another language
- >Her pitch black hair was covering half her face, and she wore a plastic headset, screaming into it at her teammates
- >"Denise!" he shouted to get her attention
- >She jolted at his voice, and promptly shut the computer before looking at him wide-eyed
- >"S-sorry, sir. I must have been louder than I thought," her cheeks lit up red
- >"I could hear you cursing like a sailor from my room! Shouldn't you be charging at this hour?"
- >She reluctantly turned the console off and removed the headset
- >"I hit full battery half an hour ago, sir. I needed something to pass the time."
- >He put his fingers to his closed eyes to ease the tension
- >"I know, but couldn't you quietly read a book or something? We've got hundreds of them!"
- >She glanced at the bookcase on the opposite side of the room. It was filled with countless novels of varying genres
- >"I've... been doing that for years, sir. I've practically read all of them."
- >Reopening his eyes and staring at hers, he decided to be generous to the bot
- >"Look, you can play your game and listen to your music, but keep it down, okay? And don't shout, too. I wouldn't want to hear little Emma calling people retards or faggots."
- >She chuckled, breaking the serious mood in the air
- >"Thanks, sir. I'll keep my filthy mouth shut for the rest of the night."
- >"That's better", he gave her a light smile before returning to bed
- >Just shy of an hour later, he awoke again after hearing a yell from below
- >"YOU NIGGERS COULDN'T CAPTURE THAT GODDAMN FLAG IF IT SPAWNED IN OUR FUCKING BASE!" reverberated throughout the whole house
- >Rushing out of bed, he muttered to himself, "This behavior better be just a phase. If I wanted to deal with this crap, I wouldn't have raised my kids properly."
