--- Quote ---There's an old DEEPLY weird movie called Repo Man. I found it in the BetaMax section of a video rental place, and decided to give it a try (Yes, I had a BetaMax, yes I'm older than dirt. The first computer storage medium I used was a 2 inch-wide strip of paper with holes punched in it.) Anyway, it's a good (if a little confusing) movie.

I think I remember when it came out...

--- End quote ---
Well she does live with Marten so it sounds like it's experience on her part

Marten doesn't strike me as particularly squeamish - I think it might be related to Roko's fainting spells?
Brun will probably be fine, she'd be more interested in 'how things work' rather than trying to imagine 'what if it was my leg?'. I'm the same - love watching operations on TV etc because I find it fascinating. My husband and I used to joke about how, if I would ever need to have a caesarean, I'd insist on observing the entire procedure :D

--- End quote ---
Why would you consider a complete replacement of the femur a "minor" surgery? I don't think Brun will hurl from it, but still, that's a pretty hefty hack job

--- 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?
--- Quote from: shanejayell on 06 Dec 2020, 16:25 ---I'm not sure you can do Repo-man work with a criminal record. At least not with a reputable company...
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
'Firefly' meets 'Demolition Man'?
--- End quote ---
I would absolutely watch that

I'd be interested to know what you found weird about it---it seemed perfectly natural.
