003 - Karaoke Time!
[Hello Crux Fleet! Have a Pinoko! She's figured out how to work the communicator, so this might be a little dangerous. Maybe. Pinoko has got to stop looking for friends in all the wrong places.]
Hello everyone! My name is Pinoko!
Since Mr. Quark opened his bar, and he has karaoke, I was wondering if anyone wanted to go sing with me? They have games, and drinks, and all sorts of stuff! It's no fun to go to karaoke alone, but if you don't want to sing that's okay!
[No guarantees that Pinoko wouldn't try to get you to sing if you went with her though. But you at least have assurances that she won't laugh if you do!]
Karaoke is two nights a week. Who is up for it?

[Voice]
I did. Thank you.
[Tron. Just be glad that Pinoko is used to men in her life who suck at apologies.]
So... does this mean you are volunteering yourself for karaoke with Pinoko?
[You can almost hear the Cheshire Cat grin in those words. You're doomed Tron.]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[It's so good that you understand how these sort of things work, Tron. And hey, Karaoke is better than shopping... right?]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[Have another Cheshire Cat smile, Tron.]
So... did you and Mr. Sam enjoy your alone time?
[Voice]
[It's a strange concept, and he briefly trips on the User vocabulary. Oops... and then that second statement sinks in.]
What are you-- No!
[Voice]
[Pinoko was many things, but she was not crazy enough to think that she could convince Tron to sing. Her amazing powers of persuasion had their limits, after all.]
Well then, if you didn't enjoy alone time with Mr. Sam, next time you can just ask Pinoko to leave like a civilized human being, instead of tossing me out.
[This is said with a faint sniff, but at least she seems to be teasing. Mostly. That had really caught her off guard, okay?]
[Voice]
[Unexpected bonus is unexpected!]
I do not need alone time with Sam Flynn.
[Cue unseen glare of doomy doom.]
[Voice]
Besides, I don't know what kind of people will be at Mr. Quark's. You don't want me to go alone, do you?
[Pinoko was by no means stupid. She had picked up on the fact that Tron viewed her as some sort of beta-kitten-helpless-little girl... thing. Whatever. She wasn't above playing to that part of him if need be.]
And if you don't need to be alone with Mr. Sam, then you don't need to be throwing Pinoko out. There's generally only one sort of thing people need alone time for, after all.
[And oh dear, that Cheshire Cat tone was back again.]
[Voice]
[Aw gumpycat.]
I am not interfacing with Sam Flynn!
[And cue scandalized yowling.]
I have a counterpart!
[Except...
Well, if Pinoko had video, she would pretty much be able to see the irritation fade into a look of horror as the extent of just how much he's forgotten is realized.]
[Voice]
Interfacing? Is that what you call... Oh. Then what are you doing with Mr. Sam?
[And then the next part processes. And the world drowns in sparkles.]
You have a counterpart? Does that mean you have a wife? Or a husband? Or... is there a third option when you're a program?
[Voice]
[The word is almost a whimper, and without further ado Tron hangs up on her. He needs to find somewhere to sit before he falls over, after all, and Pinoko audibly sparkling at him is not helping.]
