[Is all he says to that. No conceding to tell Iggy anything, just agreement. Takeshi's lived with other people's judgement for as long as he can remember, and it's never stopped him doing anything. He doesn't want to hear any of his bullshit himself, is all. Dredge it up here, when he could instead pretend he could leave it behind.]
AI don't bother pretending to be human, and people in synthetic bodies usually chose them for the mods. [He gestures with his glass.] They're the closest to "robot" I know of, and you're definitely not either.
Yeah, definitely. I doubt my family would approve. But I dunno, I think it counts.
People get lonely, you know? I can take that away for a while, and give them someone non judgemental to talk to. And here, well, we provide a way for people to stay safe if they're not comfortable fucking people they know or whatever.
[And there's another string, direct to John himself this time. Takeshi chews on the idea of giving some kind of warning, but decides against it. Decides against giving any advice on friendship, either.]
Just don't get too busy helping other people to help yourself.

I guess 'created' is a weird word to use. I was raised religious, so when we would say it we meant like... God had a plan for you, is all.
no subject
So His plan for you was to help people.
no subject
Yeah, exactly. [He smiles.] So! I do. It helps that I enjoy it.

I think there's people that'd argue your interpretation.

Okay! Got your measurements, I can hand these over. We're gonna look so hot. Matching outfits! It's epic.
[He goes in for the cheek kiss.]
You look after yourself, too. Hydrate. With water, not vodka.

I'll half and half.
