A small perverse otter:
--- Quote from: JohnTheWysard on 25 Mar 2019, 22:38 ---As I was walkin' round Cambridge City,
'bout the hour of twelve at night
There I saw a fair pretty robot
Cutting her bangs by candlelight.
She had twenty, eighteen, sixteen, fourteen
Twelve ten eight six four two none;
Nineteen, seventeen, fifteen, thirteen
'leven, nine seven five three and one.
--- End quote ---
Yeah, but the difference is that when they come back to Cambrdige City, the AI will still be a 'pretty fair robot'. In the original, she's gone because she's aged along with him.
(Also, I think I'd modify l. 3-4 to read "There I saw a purple robot // Cutting her hairs by candlelight".)

Well, glad Roko didn't do herself actual damage... :-o
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: TRenn on 26 Mar 2019, 01:08 ---While I'm sure Roko doesn't object to Melon's attempts to be helpful, I have to wonder if it isn't just a little bit problematic. Since Roko's issue is that she doesn't "feel like herself," the fact that Melon isn't acting 100 percent like herself either might be a distraction (and not a good distraction).
So in panel 4, I'm imagining Roko thinking "THERE is our adorable little cloudcookoolander. Never change, Melon."

What if that's exactly what Melon had in mind? What if she's doing the same thing as Elliot, offering Roko a predictable and orderly connection with the here-and-now?
A small perverse otter:
Melon appears to be a scatterbrained airhead -- but I wonder how much of that is obfuscation. She has a really good sense of what to do in an emergency, and she only does ridiculous things when it doesn't matter. Could it be that she's a clown, not an airhead?
Tova:
If only the consequences of real-life trauma could be resolved as simply as getting a new piercing or butt emblem...
Roko will need to investigate therapy options, as Lemon suggested.
