[A purple-haired girl who looks incredibly tired appears on the video this afternoon, which is only accentuated by her yawning before she even begins to speak. She also gives the screen a poke. She also appears to be wearing pajamas.]

...I thiiiink it's on. Neppy? Histy?

[A pause.]

Noire...? Is this some kind of prank? I don't like it.

[This clearly isn't anywhere she's ever been. She's pretty sure of that, anyway.]

I just want to go back to my nap...

A system?

[ Calmly: ] I will not need any snacks.

[plutie]

[Nodnod.]

There's handheld systems and consoles that you hook up to your TV.

[She frowns a little at that.]

Why not?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

... I see.

[ She doesn't own a TV either. She hadn't seen the point. ]

I am an android. I don't need to eat.

[Plutia blinks.]

...like a robot?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

[ Dorothy, of course, doesn't blink. ]

Yes.

[ Video ]

[plutie]

Oh!

[Hm...Plutia pauses for a few seconds.]

But you look normal.

[ Video ]

[pianola]

[ .... "Normal". Eyes very slightly narrow. ]

So I've been told.

[ Video ]

[plutie]

[Well, normal enough anyway. Says the girl in pajamas.]

Do you run on batteries? Do you have a charging cable?

[But now she's really curious!]

[ Video ]

[pianola]

No.

[ Flat. But, then, after a moment, less so: ]

I don't think you'd understand my mechanism for charging.
