It's all good, just wanted to make sure you know Auntie Root is here for you if you need anything. 👋 Don't go searching the Aldrip internet, now!

More like 007. I haven't used my birth name in a long time. Most of the time I'm working under a false identity the Machine made for me. Only the people who actually know me get to use Root.

auntie? no you're more like a cool big sister

[ and he wouldn't go searching the aldrip internet, no, him and junpei already agreed that they'd much rather figure things out together than ask anyone — ]

wait, really? that's honestly pretty brills. then i'm right lucky i get to call you root, yeah?

[ Charles that's literally how you get into trouble but hey not like Root is out here making smart choices ]

Aw, shucks. That's sweet of you to say. Afterlife sibs 👻💃

I feel like I'm the lucky one. I considered picking a fake name when I showed up, but it seemed a little pointless if I wanted to get everyone to trust me about the A.I. And now here I am with friends and everything.

The youth these days call them emoji 😉
