We hereby start the Void Calendar! All over the Void since yesterday, several handwritten notes have been taped or stapled to the Void's most populated areas in the hopes to drive the people to the popular bar/cafe. Heavenly Blanc's exterior has been protected from any upcoming storms by a large awning, and more tables and chairs have been temporarily set to settle any issues of overcrowding on the inside. Upon entering, one will be able greeted by the aroma of curry, although the spices vary from pot to pot, and coffee and alcohol will be served throughout the evening.

Within the interior of the bar, a small space has been divided and cleared out -- next to the jukebox. There, one will find a few microphones resting on their stands, waiting for whoever is brave enough to sing on them to whatever is playing in Heavenly Blanc when the storm hits. Last, but not least, a whiteboard has been visibly placed next to the entrance. It reads: "Names of the Months", and you may either write your own or add sticks to vote on your favorites.

"What about when ya get dirty from yer environment? Don't ya clean yerself then?" She's in the same boat as far as not producing filth or dirt herself goes; no oil, no sweat, only plasma. Still, she takes a sip.

"Even if ya don't need it, a hot bath can feel real nice." Despite not having blood or muscles, the usual things a hot bath targets when it comes to relaxation.

"Bathing has not been previously required."

Decontamination occurred every time one entered or left the Normandy. On Enso, bathing opportunities were limited regardless of need.

"We were not capable of feeling a 'hot bath'." That has probably changed, since being brought here, they think. After all, now they experience the sensations of taste and pain. That never used to be possible.

[indigloaming]

"Ya don't got any kind of temperature sensors? Then how do ya know when it's too hot for ya?"

Yes, he's clearly some kind of robot, but even robots can get too hot. Like if they try to take a swim in lava.

[forwearemany]

They have made an error in communication, they realize.

"A clarification: we are capable of experiencing heat, but not the pleasure associated with a hot bath."

Robots can overheat quite readily if their cooling system is sufficiently overtaxed or otherwise compromised, she's absolutely right there.

"As with taste, pain, and exhaustion, it is possible this has changed with our arrival in this location."

Perhaps they shall test it.

[indigloaming]

"From what I hear, hot baths feelin' good has somethin' to do with blood an' muscles. I guess it makes sense that it doesn't do anythin' for ya."

But if the robot were to try it... what side of the bath house would they go into?

[forwearemany]

"Yes. However, we are now able to experience the sensations of pain and taste, both of which require physical traits we do not have."

So it could easily be different now, even if it made no sense.

As for the gender question, the answer is apparently either one! They'll probably just pick at random, barring factors like one being overcrowded or going with a friend.

[indigloaming]

"Right. So if I may ask... just what kind of robot are ya?"

The only kind of humanoid, talking robots Indigo is familiar with are the Glitch, and he doesn't really look or sound like one. It's got her curious.

[forwearemany]

"We are Geth."

Which explains nothing, really, because she probably doesn't know what Geth are. Still, they don't immediately elaborate.
