Not to mention Faye and Clinton, who would probably react favorably to a 'hey, I wish to fabricate and insert nutrition into some organics. Please join me so as to ensure I create something edible, if not delicious, and that I do not waste ingredients."
Faye's struggling to make ends meet. Clinton is a college student. Both would appreciate a free meal or three a week, if Roko can afford it.
BenRG:
I've said as far back as the night Roko and O'Malley got drunk together that I think she's very isolated and lonely. Today's strip just re-emphasises in my mind that Roko desperately wants friends and connections, especially with humans and, somehow, her extremely human-like quirks only builds on this. This is another flavour of the synthetic in Jeph's universe: The synthetic woman who, on a certain level, feels more human than synthetic in her own mind and wants to be part of the human community.
My heart breaks for Melon though. She's used to Roko being strong and the one who helps her, not the other way around. I've said before that there is a childlike aspect about her and I think we're seeing it here. I draw parallels with pre-teen children whose parents need care themselves and the degree to which this undermines their own lives.

I do think that a dinner party at Roko's is likely to happen at some point in the future.
traroth:
The part about cooking implements and human friends seems to show Roko's issues might not be as new as we thought...
Melon's face in the first panel is priceless. She's really sweet, even she has a really distant relation with reality.
Meander:
Now that the utensil issue is settled...
How does Melon pay rent?
