[ he is literally looking at a sign that says "AppleBapples" you tell him kid. ]

I think they had dreams of being restaurants once.

[pathopen]

[They did not load any data about Applebee's into his little artificial head.]

So if they're not restaurants, what are they?

[psynchronise]

[ lucky him. not that date knows what an applebees is either. ]

They look like knock off names. Like-- [ he points at McNaldos. ] Pretty sure that's meant to be McD*nalds.

[pathopen]

[... No idea what McD*nalds means, but.]

Does that mean their food will also be knock off?

[psynchronise]

[ …. ]

Good question. We could find out.

[pathopen]

Which one do you want to try?

[psynchronise]

You pick. It’s your first day out at the terrible sounding knock off food joints.

[pathopen]

It's both of ours, isn't it?

A&A?

[AAAAAAA]

[psynchronise]

Yeah, but I’ve been to one or two of the originals.

[ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]

[pathopen]

I wonder if the can't have the originals in hell.

[psynchronise]

Licensing agreements don't extend as far as hell, maybe?

[pathopen]

Maybe? It might be difficult to get in contact.

[There's nobody here, so he guesses they have to make the food themselves?

He will get himself an aaaaaaa rootbeer.]

[psynchronise]

I don't think hell'd care much about working within the rules of one anyway. Although I guess retail is a form of hell itself.

[ maybe that's the joke?

or it was until there was no one there. maybe this is their personal hell? ]

[pathopen]

Retail?

[What's a shop? Do people die there?]

[psynchronise]

[ people's souls do. ]

Like... shops. Places where you buy things. Like this? [ he Gestures. ]

This is retail. Minus the workers.

[pathopen]

[They're the employees AND customers now.]

Like this...

[Retail=shops & almost restaurants]

It's very empty.

[psynchronise]

Yeah, normally it's busier. But... hell.

The hell part kinda ruins it.

[pathopen]

... I guess it is better if it isn't very full.

[That would mean a lot of dead sinners.]

[psynchronise]

Yeah waiting in queues is kind of — [ he almost says hellish. ]— a pain.

[ there are two types of people ]

I’m gonna go ahead and poke this elephant in the room, but you don’t really know a lot, do you?

[pathopen]

I died very quickly after becoming conscious.

[psynchronise]

Becoming conscious?

[pathopen]

I was created in a lab.

[psynchronise]

...





Hm?

[ what. ]

[pathopen]

I was made in a lab.

I'm not human.

[psynchronise]

[ squint. ]

… So you’re a robot? An AI?
