Far Out There

Can… can it be? Really? A page WITHOUT a Star Wars gag? I… I don’t know what to think, it’s all so disorienting!

So, Avatar was a little hard to write here. First off, it took a few tries to figure out what she’d even say to the robots. Originally, I tried to figure out some sort of tech-head insult that a robot would find offensive, but I quickly realized I was the last person in the world who would know enough about technology to come up with such a thing. Besides, technology stuff sounds stupidly out of date too fast under NORMAL circumstances; trying to do it in a futuristic context would just be pointless. Thus, they simply chase after anything vaguely human shaped. Even then, though, the lines themselves were kind of tricky to write. At first, there was no punctuation at all, to try and approximate the feel of a emotionless, monotone line read. Unfortunately, that turned out too hard to read so I had to drop it. Hopefully, her face does enough to sell the emotion, or lack thereof.
