--- Quote from: BenRG on 06 Dec 2020, 23:11 ---I'm going to say it now: Millifeulle either saw a child playing make-believe phone conversation or saw someone do this on the TV or on a video. She just picked it up as "how humans use the 'phone" and has done it ever since. Once again, we see that, on a conscious or unconscious level, most Synthetics have a strong "I want to do it how humans do it" impulse.
I do love how Brun is needing to recall Renee's advice to work out appropriate behaviour that normally simply wouldn't occur to her. I wonder how Renee would react to the revelation that she is Brun's guide to acceptable behaviour?

There's the problem with your assumptions there: 'Reputable'. I mean, it would be better for May if her employer was straight and legit but you could very easily see her being seduced by the promise of adventure and not think of the legal consequences to her from being an Outlaw Repo Gal.

'Outlaw Repo Gal' sounds like a movie/fic you've been working on for awhile.
St.Clair:
Millie may be my favorite character. And not just because I'm fond of that particular shade of green.

If you ask a child now to use their hand to pretend to talk on the phone, a lot of them won't make that gesture today. They will mimic a smart-phone with the open palm of their hand.
a) palm to face. b) hold their palm below their face and occasionaly make swipe gestures. c) hold their palm out further, as though making a video call or taking a selfie.
The hand gesture may just be a robot etiquette thing that evolved over time to help others distinguish when they on the phone (like everytime I walk up to someone at work with headphones on, are they? aint they? do I hear music?)
or it could be a default "gesture" added to all robots when they included voice chat functions, the "gesture" probably has patents, trademarks and million dollar court cases fighting over.
