|/=^] well, it was so nice, I'm asking Thrice. How'd you two sleep?
*it seems that no matter the 'dad', dad jokes are an inescapable universal constant*
ah, good morning Sophie.
*she comes up behind Hamnet and Factor before they can turn to greet her and hugs them from behind* Good morning, my darlings!
[:]D Mommy!
@) wesleptwell. telldaddywesleptwell.
*raises her eyebrows at Valdis* Factor says they slept well.
|/=^] Hehe. sorry. It's just, We're all here! In a home of our own with minimal external obligations! I've got a Name! A family! It's amazing! And you all are to!

*Valdis goes to briefly join the hug, scruffing up Hamnet's hair afterward*
Yeah, it's all pretty amazing. The first day in our home! *the hug over, she spreads herself some bread and butter*
@) andhowdidyousleepmommy? *since it seems to be such an important topic of conversation to the grown-ups*
I slept well, overall. Thank you for asking.
[:]) *slurps milk*
/u\ Good morning. *Ribbon is up!*

[!uT] *goes to get herself some buttered bread as well*

|/=^] *continues eating*
Good morning!
@) allherenow! @? *a little weird for this family unit to be "all"... but getting used-ish to it, especially since the grown-ups are all happy with it* @)
[:]? [:])
-u- yea. ^u^ ooh, cereal. *Ribbon gets herself some of the chocolate cereal*

|/=^] [!uT] *a much smaller group without the other kids around*

*breakfast & the cleaning of it should likely hold no complications*

0u0 *Ribbon is thinking of teaching you more letter stuff in a bit; just as soon as cleaning is done*

[!~T] *Dots is about to start headed for downstairs*
@? *another thing to get used to... being the only one around now who doesn't eat*
[:]) *has picked up the bowl to slurp up the last of the sweet milk, some of it, well a lot of it, dribbling down their chin*
Well, messy is how you know it's tasty. *has a napkin ready to wipe their face when they're done*
0u0 might be bath time soon. 0u0 0~0 V... 0u0 Valdis, maybe you could get some more clothes while they get cleaned up? 0u0 *almost had trouble recalling their new name*

|/=@] Sounds good. If I'm not needed to help with Genral.

[ERR] [!uT] -e just fine. *heads on out of the dinning room*
[:]? Bathtime again? *seems like not that long ago they had one*
It can't hurt. I'll clean up breakfast if you clean up our little breakfast-lover, Ribbon. *she's thinking she'll check up on Onponn and Genral after the dishes are done*
@)
0u0 keeping clean is a consistent thing. Usually 1 bath a day. ^u^ Let's get it taken care of. You'll get to play with the bath toys

|/=^] *Valdis gives a nod, before headed on out to go get more clothes made for you*
@D bathtoys!
[:]D Okay! *slides down from their chair, ready to go back upstairs to the bath*
*Sophie gathers the dishes to clean them up*
^u^ *leads the way to the bathroom; right beside the dinning room*
*Ribbon plans to take advantage of this time to also help keep your hair nice & tangle free*

*washing cereal bowls should be a short matter; just a quick rinse & they're done to dry*
[:]) *goes to get into the bath with clothes still on--following the logic of "give the clothes a bath"*
@) *yep, totally logical*

*and when she's done, she goes downstairs*
0u0 Let's be sure to undress first. Clothes need a different kind of soap than you.
)8= |8| *Onponn & Genral are linked up, processing something*

[!~T] [!uT] hey. Genral, [!~T] has decided to try and fix things that Smithy had broken... They're just syncing long-range locational data before they go so that they can always know where the other is.
[!uT] But, luckily for us, Genral's first objective is a maintenance Craft full of P.A.L.s that had crashed down in 'anyForest', meaning that it can be reached via the fold around here. so we have the chance to properly see them off & maybe help them get their start with trying to Tame them all.

[!~T] Onponn is upset about it, but she didn't try to Make them stay. she understands that Genral feels the need to do this. [!uT] Things are going great, as far as all things were expected.
[:]? [:]) Okay. *starts to wiggle out of clothes*
@? what'sthedifference?
----
They'll be keeping in touch, though, it sounds like? So there's no reason to think this is a for-good goodbye... And if it means something to Genral, then it's a good thing for him to do.
0u0 well... 0~0 0u0 It's harder to get dry if you are in wet clothes, and... Stronger soap is usually used with clothes when they need seriously washed. Soap that isn't as good for your skin. there's only a little milk on them now, so I'll wash it a bit by hand & leave it to dry. 0u0
)8= )X= ):= yea... He wants to get a few tools made before he sets out, so we have some time to prepare before he leaves.

||| |8| Taming is a difficult process; especially for a Robotic entity. A little help getting started would be an immense benifit to my objective.

[!~T] [!uT] I can try to help.
@? @) okay.
[:]) *clothes off, climbs into the tub*
Same here, if something you need is something I can do.
^u^ *cleaning time!*
----
|8| |)| Thankyou; I should be back in front of the house relatively soon. |8| I ask Onponn's protective subsystem to help provide information on Taming; to make the process easier.

*with that, Genral heads for the door, on the move; they don't want to waste time*

[!uT] should be back with Valdis in 20 minutes or so... [!~T]

):= I'll, ... let Smithy tell you about taming. )X= ... /|= ||= "Taming is when you understand that a Machine is something programmed, but you believe that they are alive anyway. It can sometimes take years, if ever, for a machine to begin to develop outside its Programming & begin to believe that they are real to."
(|= "However, I think we have a number of contributing factors present that will help accelerate this process. Like the number of Living Robots everyone here knows. Already knowing Machines that are alive can vastly accelerate the rate at which a Robot may end up being Tamed; Some people make a habit out of Taming Machines; such repeat Tamers were usually called 1 of 2 things. Liberrorators, or 'Trouble', by people who needed simple machines. though other names may be valid."
/|= "But enough of that; are there any questions on what is required &or questions in general"
