Heeeeeeelllllloooo you beautiful people~

I the wonderful Minako Aino here with a few things I need to say. I believe these are of the utmost importance.

[At least to her, not so much to other people.]

First of all... I think we should honestly give the train an official name? Something we can all call it when we need to bother him for something which leads me to my next thing...

We need to bother the train. I am calling for people to gather together and as the many ask for one thing and one thing only... Rooms for couples because it's needed~ Though I have taken one of the Quiet rooms for couples private use until then, but join with me and we shall keep it up until the train gets annoyed.

[She gives a small wink briefly.]

But as I stated, I have picked out a quiet room for couples and will arrange to get curtains put in because someone said doing that is possible. Give me a few days and it should be ready by them... maybe. [She paused for a brief moment.]

Finally, my door is always open for those who need love advice or help in any way. I am after all the love expert on this train.

What's wrong with a delivery company name? The train is "delivering" us from place to place, so in that sense it's not inaccurate.

Sorry for all the questions- I think extra names make things harder, not easier, so I'm not sure this is a good idea.

[loveandduty]

It's mostly because I don't want to feel like a package that has to be delivered in order to help someone, that's all.

It doesn't actually. Seems as though people have given it various others names anyway and not the 'actual' name itself. So by limiting the names if someone doesn't want to call it by the company name then they at least have another option. So it's not harder at all. Harder if there are too many names, however.

[SXT-2 is silent for a moment. Then there's a very fake sigh- well, since she has a Vocaloid-esque voicebox she has little choice in that matter.]

Humans are so high-maintenance…. I can't stop anyone, I can only say that this is...... not very helpful.

[loveandduty]

Like yeah, it's not meant to be for the important things if that is what you mean?

[mimidaeia]

.... it's not?

Oh- this is one of those "for fun" things??

[loveandduty]

Also for a way to quickly ask to request something from the train. Plus I guess in a way giving it a name that doesn't make it sound like a delivery company is in a way making it more alive also... Maybe I thought it would be nice for it.

[mimidaeia]

[She’s getting a bit confused. ]

What I want to say is, if you're doing this for yourself, then this doesn't apply… but if you're doing this for the train, then I disagree that it's helpful at all.

The train isn't organic like you. So making it more “alive” is putting in effort to make it more like you. That's all. I don't think the train would like it.

Humans generally don't like my name, but I don't like human names either. I prefer mine.

[loveandduty]

That's just guessing though, no one knows what the train would like or not and I'm sure people would like to know. I know I kind of do.

What is your name anyway? I should really ask.

[mimidaeia]

SXT-246-029-256-062.

[There's a bit of a defiant edge to her answer- she likes her name. Don't make fun of it!]

[loveandduty]

So you want me to call you by that whole name? Because I will if that is what you prefer?

[mimidaeia]

....will you?

That hasn't happened before, people have always used other "nicknames". It's a lot of work to keep track.

[loveandduty]

I mean people might normally, but if a person prefers there full name it would be rude, right?

[mimidaeia]

I don't think "rude" applies to computers, from experience. :o

[loveandduty]

Maybe not. But it's still nice to be polite because for all I know you are an AI and shows they tend to eventually gain things like the ability to feel or something.
