On the other, Roko literally got by accident what she really wants. So, yeah....
Ironically, Roko doesn't WANT a new body, too.

I mean that's kind of my point though. May is legitimately yelling at Roko for telling May about her new body after May asked Roko why she looked different and Roko told her that she went through a traumatic experience, even worse than how she treated Winslow which in my opinion was pretty shitty in the first place. I'm sure it will be resolved in a few strips so like I'm not legitimately mad or anything. But damn it's like May's entire strategy for dealing with her hardships is treating friendly people with hostility.
Oenone:
I mean, she’s traumatized and not the best socialized, so yeah. She’s probably got theoretical tools they’ve talked about in group therapy but hostility is her default. And, based on her lived experience, it’s so far kept her safe...
SpanielBear:
Hold the damn line a minute there-
- May doesn't know about Rocko's dysmorphia. At all.
- May lost an arm and her face. Got nothing. Had to go to an illegal AI ring who threatened her parole. For medical care.
- Rocko is looking fancy and well put together. Like Momo. Transference is a thing here too.
- May is in a shitty mood and lashing out. She is being rude. She is not the devil made flesh and walking the earth scourging the innocent!
Tyr:
My first thought: NO, May! that'd basically be going back to robot jail! Your parole officer isn't authorized to fund repairs. Full replacement has got to be completely off the table. Meaning you're going back to runtime on a server.
Second thought: is the only thing keeping May in that body her own stubborn pride, or are her friends not ALLOWED to buy her a new one as a term of her parole, e.g. that body is lo-jacked in lieu of an ankle bracelet?

Excpet this is the second time this has happened. May lashed out at Winslow for getting a new chassis and Hannelore set her straight. You'd think by now she'd wait until she got the whole story, but this is May and she still has poor impulse control.
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Rokko would run into May and she'd get jealous over her new chasis and percevied good luck while being completely insensitive to Rokko's dymorphia.
Hannelore isn't around to call her on it. Hopefully, it'll be Bubbles because I'm not sure May could handle a tet-a-tet with Spookybot.
