In the confines of the Paradigm Academy mess hall a small floating orb of amnesiac robot began to get to work. With his reactivation Afano had remembered his old purpose, cooking. He was once many things at many points in time. But with only 3% percent of his current memory the only thing Afano remembers doing is preparing meals for hungry students and agents of the Academy. That and an odd memory of chasing away birds with a chainsaw. Outside the doors to the mess hall was a fancily drawn chalkboard that read the following: Today's Special Breakfast Specials for Special Youngsters and Old Specials! - Eggs Florentine - Fresh Homefries - Afano's Famous Breakfast Burritos! (Both Mild & Spicy) - Protein Smoothie - NON STOP INFINITE PANCAKES! As the morning sun began to rise Afano had put the finishing touches on his debut breakfast buffet. He remembered something new. The feeling of people eating his cooking. The warmth it gave them inside. He remembered what it was like to feel that warm from inside his old metal shell. But for now he waited for that first lucky student to come through the door. Back to Top   BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION Touch...I remember...touch...

She had tried whatever she could to get her mind off of it, but not even praying was working anymore. It seemed nothing would. She abandoned the comfort of her bed early and made her way towards the cafeteria, thinking about all of the agents who had fallen in hope of victory, of the stranger with the alcohol, and of her name and who she was. Would Sarah be willing to risk her life for this war? Piper certainly was. She sighed as she stepped into the room, wrapping her arms around herself and looking for food. Preferably something hot.

"GOOOOOOOD MORNING MR..." Afano does a quick scan of his ID Tag. "Daniels!" The little robot pulls back quickly behind his little breakfast bar. The bar is full of all the listed items. Perhaps a little bit over-full. Maybe more like over-flowing. There was way too much food. Including a massive stack of fresh pancakes with self serve fruit and syrup. "What would you like this morning Mr. Daniels!?" I am exicted! [edit for Piper] "Ohh! Ohh! Hi there Miss.......White! Are you hungry! I can fix that! I want to fix that!"

Hearing about a super cooking robot offering infinite free breakfast was one of those things, especially when he heard about it via a friend calling nonstop. He'd almost called Brad some very unkind things but held back, promised he'd check it out. So he'd gone to bed early, woken up even earlier, taken his shower and done his exercises before throwing on some clothes and coming down here. It would put his mind on things other than word of the deaths of those agents circling round campus, the explosions that sounded so like stories he'd heard of the war. His own dread of what might be coming, the need to be stronger than he was. And besides, he was hungry. ...How the hell were so many people willing to get up so early for this? He trudged up and up the line, letting Mike shove ahead of him with a weary little smile and not noticing Piper at first, waiting to see where this would all go. When he came to the head of the line, he was rubbing sleep out of his eyes and grumbling at the yelling, but he had to admit - it all smelled delicious. He would wait his turn and decide on what he wanted. Flying chefbots weren't the strangest thing he'd ever heard of with Paradigm. « Last Edit: Oct 30, 2015 1:11:23 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

You'd think being one of the only people in the line with green hair, she'd've stuck out like a sore thumb, but he wasn't exactly running on all cylinders. At least she'd get a "Morning, Piper" from him. Luckily, his reflexes were working just fine, as he took the yelling robot's suddenly offered burrito and managed not to drop it. Hadn't his parents mentioned things like this from their primes? He couldn't recall. He didn't get a chance to say anything to the comment about the early hour, as she abruptly curled into him after tasting the shake Yelling Robot slapped into her hands. That was like leaning against a wall, luckily, and the surprise sort of washed numbly over him considering how weird this morning already was. Besides, he didn't mind Piper grabbing on to him. He'd put an arm around her if she let him. "Are you?" Allergic to mangoes, he means. It's half joke, half curiosity. Meanwhile, the gathered students seem to be forming an audience for Mike's pancake challenge, so Aaron looks up to see what's going on. There's Mike talking to him, too. How the hell did this guy have so much energy right now? He looked over to his roommate and gave him a nod. "Give it your best shot." « Last Edit: Oct 29, 2015 20:15:11 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Shaking her head into his shoulder, she silently let him know that she wasn't, in fact, allergic to anything. It was just a tired point that had fallen on deaf robot. She was actually too exhausted to even realize just how much this thing might know about her. Instead, she just sleepily clung to her friend, eyes fluttering closed. If he led her to watch Mike, she would let him, but she wouldn't pay him any mind. She just sipped from her shake, the exact opposite of what she was looking for, but still delicious nonetheless. She took a deep breath and cradled it against her chest, looking zombie-like. Back to Top   A.F.A.N.O.

"Just to be clear there are no actual puppies in these pancakes. Or in the other meals. Because puppy meat is expensive." The quirky little robot returns to the griddle.

Directed at chefbot! Was that genuine annoyance in his voice? Animal cruelty was not funny, especially not directed at puppies. Getting a seat was probably a good idea, though. His unasked-for but tasty-smelling burrito was still on a plate in his hand, his body was demanding to know why he'd woken it up so early - 8 was acceptable, 7 was pushing it, 5 was grounds for Formal Complaint - and Piper looked like if she weren't clinging to him she'd've fallen, snoring, flat on her face. Seriously, couldn't this robot have done its thing at a more seemly hour? A crowd was gathering around Mike's table, buzzing with uncharacteristic anticipation for a time the sun wasn't even up, and Aaron headed over to one of the quieter tables, Piper in tow. Still possible to get a view of Mike's little challenge at this angle, but with enough distance they weren't right in the middle of it. If - probably when - he failed, maybe he'd see if she wanted some. They smelled good. She looked half dead, though, as they sat down. Even moreso than Aaron himself, who had to cover a yawn that could have inhaled his breakfast. He tucked in slowly, mulling the taste over before he said anything to her, to see if she was even all there. "Weird anyone can be this hyper so early, huh?"

No, nothing to be sorry about." Aaron pondered whether to tell her one of the stories he'd heard about the old, old days. How one agent - wasn't he still around? Bigshot in one of the other branches nowadays, probably - would have the trainees all up at 6 AM sharp for training. Aaron wasn't totally sure he would've been able to do that every single day like the first class did. "I'm not, either. Not this much of a morning person, anyway." He let her lean against him and worked down his burrito little by little, occasionally glancing up to check on his roommate. One would think he was the world champion defending his belt, the way the buzzing from the crowd settled in. Or maybe people who've been up all night are easily amused. Whatever else was up with it, he had to admit, the yelling chefbot wasn't bad; Aaron wasn't much of a burrito guy, but this one was pretty tasty. Some milk would come in handy soon, once the spices kicked in, but sheer near-all-nighter apathy let him shut it out. "You want any food with that shake?
