#{{ but dewey did realize that darcy had been updated to be more capable of things beyond that of course

"Tell me about Darcy, Miss Arkham."

“ darcy ? ” she had only taken a breath of air to speak before the android rabbit had activated and quickly hopped over. “ oh, hi darcy. i was just- ” there was a pause… and then an empty feeling in her chest, dewey’s neutral expression turning slowly into confusion. “ just… oh… ” she turned back to see the other, with a helpless look on her face.

“ ‘Tell me about Darcy, Miss Arkham.’ ” the rabbit repeated instinctively, recognizing her forgetful spell and snapping dewey back to her senses. the rabbit received rewarding pats on the head, and bore its buck tooth in a chipper smile.

“ darcy is - well, if i’m recalling… she had been a prototype of mr. winslow’s. y-you see he loves to make these advanced androids and- and uhm. oooh, i’ve gotten it in writing somewhere. ” she shuffled around, opening empty cabinets and filthy drawers ; searching for a notebook that wasn’t there.

“ mx. dewey, i can provide any information on my MODEL to assist ! ” dewey absently nodded, now confusedly searching for something unrelated. “ uhm… mx. dewey, you don’t… need to search anymore. ”

“ wha- oh. i- i… i wh… i am looking for- uhm. darcy, what am i looking for ? ”

“ your notebook ? ”

“ oh. ” a soft gasp, “ i don’t have my notebook ! i need to look for it- ”

“ no need, i can provide ANY information on my model to assist ! you were telling this person all about me, remember ? ”

“ oh, sorry. darcy was a- prototype of winslow’s, you see he loves to m-make these advanced androids and… oh… ”

“ - i was developed under mr. winslow to be a advanced doll for children 6-8 ; the prime years to develop motor skills ! i specialize in memory games, story time, and i love it when you feed me my magic carrots ! ” darcy chimed in, almost like an advertisement of her doll. “ mr. winslow was under LEGAL FIRE for his last android doll, so i never went into production. that’s when dewey came along ! ”

“ …winslow handed her to me as a gift for becoming the next toyman. told me i-i could redesign her to fit my aesthetics better - an.. and that he’d fix her framework. ” dewey had looked expectantly to darcy, waiting for her to correct her. but to her surprise, she had gotten it right. “ she can record up to 60 hours of audio, a-all stored in a hard drive. she’s hyper intelligent and can access things… not. legally allowed for us to know. but …she’s practically my best friend. al-although a bit nosy… ”

darcy twitched her nose at that last remark, folding her hands behind her back and giving dewey a coy smile. “ you never know when you might need to recall the last time you passed out drunk. ”
