It's not a replacement, but you could always meet new people to help with not having your family here.

[vocaloidiot]

Well, true, there's that. It's still kind of a culture shock thing, if that even applies to me.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't culture shock apply to you?

[vocaloidiot]

Well, it's the 'being a robot' thing. Hard to really have culture shock when you take in stuff at an electronic level anyhow.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

... Did you just say that you were a robot? Really? Like with wires and computer chips in your brain kind of robot?

[vocaloidiot]

Oh, right, you must have missed the first tutorial. I'm all technological!

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Probably. This will be my first semester of classes at Garden.

But it's so cool that you're a robot! I have GOT to meet you in person sometime! What was the tutorial about anyway?

[vocaloidiot]

Pretty much something like 'yes I'm a robot, please don't freak out if I'm plugged into the mains when I talk to you, please please don't Bolt my backside.'

What about water? And you're pretty life-like for a robot.

[vocaloidiot]

I've got to be! I'm a performer, after all; it wouldn't do me any good if I were wooden up on stage.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

You perform? How so? Are you a singer or something?

And you never did answer my question about water.

[vocaloidiot]

Ah, we're mostly waterproof, no worries there! But right, right. Singer it is.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! Now I really want to meet you in person!

[vocaloidiot]

Hahah, I'm easy to spot! Usually I'm the guy plugged into the computer rather than just typing on it.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

I'll know who to look for then.

Oh! I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. I'm not sure if we share any classes or not, but I'll keep an eye out.

[vocaloidiot]

Kaito! Don't worry about being shy, I don't bite!

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

No worries about that. I'm pretty sure that 'shy' isn't a word people would use to describe me.
