IC: ITP parental failure [backdated to eggbaby aftermath]

[samuraimei]

[The annoying egg babies of the very blonde samurai and dragon duo have turned into something that is equally annoying.

Except now they're fluffy and have huge, soulless eyes.]

...Furbies?

Laaaaame.

As long as there's no unexpected consequences this time.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

None, for sure!

[Already has the tools out, let's do this]

[... Do you just carry those around at all times? But yes is probably giving the first part of these instructions (http://www.phobe.com/furby/auto1.html) as to skinning the poor creature.]

Remember to take it slow so we can see everything intact.

[No, I've been patiently waiting to get my revenge on the eggs.]

Right, right...

[Is being surprisingly careful!]

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

Hmm, those ears are going to be tricky...

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Psh. It's fine.

[Makes short work of everything quite neatly.]

I cook a lot for myself. It's cheaper to buy things whole and prep them on your own, so knife stuff is pretty easy for me now.

That's a very useful skill! Let's try splitting the carapace then.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Yeah. 'specially cause I'm by myself a lot.

Which part's the carapace?

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

Why is that?

It's the casing that protects the insides of the chest cavity.

[Points]

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Kinda like a chicken ribcage? Okay.

[And cracked. Like a pro. \o/]

My village is too far from school to commute to, so I have an apartment by myself.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I see, similar to the way students live while attending college.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that's not gonna be for a while. I'm still in Middle School.

What's next?

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I know, you get such an early start. You'll be an expert at independent living by the time you reach that age.

Ah, we try to see if we can follow where all the wires connect to so we know which mechanism is responsible for the movements and the voice recognition.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

[Following the various wires to motors and the itty bitty cpu]

Well, you do what you can to survive right? I didn't really have a choice.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

It's still quite impressive.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[shrug]

So some of the wires move the motor and the others are hooked up to a computer chip thinger.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

Yes, this must be what controls the memory, a smaller version of what we would find inside those laptop computers.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

So not as strong or fancy.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that. I've heard they can fit an amazing amount of data onto chips this size.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Really?

How much?

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I can't say. I didn't get to spend much time in the computer sciences, and what they have here is far advanced from my time. They say technology moves faster than you can blink sometimes. But it could be enough to allow them to learn from the commands they hear.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

That's kinda cool!

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

Yes, we should still be able to test it with the other one.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

The good thing is you wont have to feed it.

And it won't grade you at the end.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I wonder what grade the Furbies stand for. I was thinking we might be a lower score for disassembling the first egg.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

Not as great as something we really want, but better than a vuvuzela?

...only by a little.

[bygeorgeithink.livejournal.com]

I would certainly rather have this.

[canihassword.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to both.
