On Naut's ship, Cowboy eyed another AI from across the deck.
"Detective, what is up with you and other AIs? Every time you meet one you eye them down, or worse, break them to pieces."
"You wouldn't happen to believe that the amazing Investigator might want a new sidekick, now would you?"

The AI takes a staggering amount of time to notice the stare, having been staring at the floor for the entire time beforehand.
The fleetomine who was a few feet away from the AI at the time waves at the staring stranger.

He takes a couple steps closer to the AI and gator, holding a floating hand out to them.
Flo follows behind, wanting to be included in the conversation.
"No reason why I would talk to the likes of you." Cowboy instinctual reach for his pistol, but remembers his manners. Yu would be upset if he harmed a player AI, especially so close to to their place of work.

"Don't mind him, he's just in his broody detective stage, like a midlife crisis for but for cops!"
"I guess that's fair, Robot Mid-life crises do kinda suck."
"What's this, do the two of you have *gasp* hidden history?"
"You know, it might be exciting to investigate the backstory of the detective, find out why he's so moody about this."
"Could it be that you two have met in the past? Ex best friends, shattered due to an event!"
"I love being nosy about shit that doesn't concern me."

"Yo, Flo, do I have a dark and mysterious backstory or somethin'?"
"I know I joked about uncovering the deep seated pain and suffering surrounding my partner here, but to be honest, I just think he hates robots. He's always attacking them for one reason or the other, but like, only specific robots? It's really weird, but not a mystery."
"I think he might be racist."
"Manufacturist?"
"A mystery? I think I might actually have something for you..."
"As a student of fear," She strikes a small pose while saying this, "When I heard this island was home to a dragon, I felt as though I simply had to see it. And yet, despite the large dragonkin colony, nobody has seen hide nor hair of it!"
"Dragons are cool..."
"Ah I see! An unknown dragon that controls the fear of this area. I've been in touch with such facts. The investigation on what dragon may be in the area has been heated, everyone is after it. Including me and my partner here!"
"I thought we were here to fish?"
"I eated them all..."
"You are mistaken! For this was all a ruse to go dragon hunting!"
"Fuck yeah."

"Yeah, if you're just gonna bottle stuff up it's gonna come back and bite you."
Cowboy eyes the two as they try to touch upon his feelings. It all feels fake to him...

Because it is fake.
Cowboy throws his hands behind his head. "Don't worry about me dudes. Don't mean to spoil the mood. I promise I'm good for it!"
"Man..."
"Look, would you rather focus on me, or would you rather focus on dragon hunting?"
"Fair enough, psychological stuff ain't my jam. But I'm always down for a good creature feature, so my vote's on dragon hunting!"
"I guess we can focus on dragons."

Oblivious backs off a bit.

"Yeah, that."
Oblivious turns around and walks towards the stairs before going rigid and tumbling down them.
"HOLY SHIT ARE YOU OK?"
Oblivious rolls a 20 sided die. A 1 is rolled.

Oblivious falls down the stairs terribly. Something goes loose in his system, causing him to become unable to get up or move.

"Good enough reason to get rid of him I say. But I got it. I'll back off. You're right. Ain't worth the risk."
END OF PRIVATE CHAT
Cowboy jumps off Oblivious. "Sorry, don't suppose doing that helped you, did it, dude?"
Cowboy rolls a 20 sided die. A 5 is rolled.
