"Oh dear! Yes, please, do not do that! Electricity is a very precise and unknown science and you have perhaps failed to anticipate the intricacies of Ohm's Law!"

"MY clock? Its your device..."

"Early?

...ah. Not early!

Late."

"Try... four hours."

"Ah! Yes!

...'thirty minutes.'"

"It is pretty late..."

"...have you noticed me yet? I cannot tell. If you have not, just.

...

...keep, not noticing me? Yes, that!"

(Boredly looking through files on a computer that isn't her's.)

(Phone buzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzzz.)

[ @infinitehorizxn.bsky.social ]

"You have a lot of files in here you have not touched in a while."

"Did you still want that alarm? Its going to go off in thirty minutes."

"...did you mean to silence all these phone calls?"

(Said a voice from his pocket.)

"I cannot imagine one with one! I like swimming around in data."

"Ah. Of course. Of course! Slang.

...for... brains rotting?"

"Someone's brain is rotting?!"

(Said a clueless computer program.)

"Effectively very small! On one device.

Its complicated and confusing and very math-heavy."

"Of course! Of course. Even you had not made that demand there."

"And I am an intelligent digital assistant with nobody to assist."

"Besides. I could just pop up in your next phone. Not to say that I will- but, to say that I am simply using this phone as a temporary vessel! And to threaten to end it is incredibly ungentleman-like."

"Hey! Now what does that mean? I would not demolish this building because you are in it, now would I? Rather rude, me thinks."

"Well, I...

I cannot really describe it! I simply... did."

"No good?"

"Wow! I am Amelia! I am also a machine!

Of sorts! I am not three dimensional, like you are!"

"Talking computer program?"

"Are you not human too?"

(Phone buzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzzz.)

"This number? I am not calling this phone! I am in it. Currently! Currently. Not always. Only for a few minutes."

"What a horribly confusing statement..."

"That sounds painful!"
