[David couldn't really give two shits about it being Father's Day or not, but Harvey's post does kind of start the old gears whirring, particularly in the wake of the conversation he had with Shaw.]

In most human cultures, there is a particular emphasis on honoring thy mother and father. Interesting that that concept has apparently been condensed into a more or less meaningless two days of exchanging gifts.

[He says "interesting" in a way that means he really thinks you're all full of absolute bullshit.]

I wish I could say I understood having enthusiasm for recognizing the accomplishments of your creator. [And that's delivered in his usual dry, slightly bored tone, because he might be bitter as fuck about this concept when it's not like Weyland ever acknowledged what David was capable of, but he doesn't want to talk about it with all of you, so he's masking it like he usually does.

A pause.]

Chromie has not reported to the library. [So someone might want to go check on that.]

[Private to Erik]

[He's not really sure what to say about this, for quite a number of reasons, but.]

What was it like, being able to speak with him afterward?

Why do you feel it would be beneficial to understand such a concept?

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

I don't, particularly. It was sarcasm.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

And yet it was important enough to bring up in the first place.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

Do you have another question?

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

I have several questions, but I seem to be mistaken as to your desire to be social.

[ Voice ]

[secretasshole]

Perhaps. I simply don't understand.

[all right now she's wondering something and she's gonna have to go investigate now]

[Sorry Touko. B(]

[no response]

[and then she decided to try some breaking and entering.]

I never knew anyone who actually celebrated Mother's or Father's Day. I have to admit, it's kind of funny how inverted it is here.

Private;

[secretasshole]

How so?

Private;

[velocette]

Because I don't think most of these people would've noticed it at home.

[But there's not much to do on the Barge, and it's a small community.]

Private;

[secretasshole]

Maybe not.

Private;

[velocette]

If it's a way of forcing them to look at issues, I don't think it's working.

Private;

[secretasshole]

I would assume it isn't.

[wecanavenge]

[The level of not sure how feel here is just. incredible. :|]

Infuriating.

[Private]

[secretasshole]

[HE'S JUST CURIOUS.]

May I ask why?

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[For a moment he wonders why the hell he has to explain this, and shifts, draws in a breath like he's going to say something angry, but - well.]

Not very polite of him to keep talking after he's dead.

[Private]

[secretasshole]

[Because David is like a super genius, petulant, emotionally challenged six year old. B(]

I see. [Still confused. B( Don't you want to gloat about killing the fuck out of him??]

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

No you don't.

[Dude just ask, you metallic weirdo. B(]

We do not have such a day where I come from, but we still must respect our parents. They are the ones that are to shelter us from what would bring us harm. They are sure that we have every opportunity we possibly could take advantage of.

Not every parent, of course, is kind to their child. Some harm them more than they protect them. Those are not parents worthy of respect, however, and from what I understand, not what the holiday is for.

[secretasshole]

I see.

[He has a feeling someone would still want him celebrating Father's Day, if he were human.]

[breathoflight]

Do you have someone like that?

Who raised and cared for you, I mean.

[secretasshole]

No.

Without that firsthand experience, I suppose it would be quite difficult to fully comprehend...
