What do you mean a robot STOLE MY JOB???

My unrealistic attempts at doing all of kuroshitcember might have failed, but I am here for day 5! The prompt of the day is: Fast forward a century or so, and the Grim Reaper Dispatch’s collection system has switched to AI and other complex technologies. How good are the grim reapers at this? How do thy feel about it?

Rather than do a story, I’m just gonna spew my thoughts into headcannons so yeah enjoy!

The rest of the masterlist is here and thank you to @eemoo1o-animoo​ for creating it 😊

- So basically, it stands like this: William hates it, Ronald doesn’t mind it, Grelle loves it, and Othello tries to make it better and do experiments.

- Essentially the reactions go a little something like William trying to get around but ultimately failing because his patience for loading screens is thin, Ronnie isn’t an expert by any means, but he knows his way around the settings, Grelle knows the ins and outs of social media websites, games, anything related to the camera, and how to trick the phone into thinking you are in a different time zone, and Othello is a total geek about it all and knows literally everything about everything. Othello and Grelle are the most excited about the switch up (Othello because ✨science✨ and Grelle because ✨less paperwork✨). William is least excited because he likes the old fashioned way where he knows he isn’t making any mistakes, thank you very much. Ronnie’s there in the middle like “yeah it’s stupid and takes too long sometimes, but it’s generally more efficient”. If Alan and Eric were alive here, Eric would be in the same boat as Ronnie and Alan would either be a total geek about it like Othello or hate it like William, no in between. Moreover, is Undertaker were here, he’d just straight up refuse to use it. Like, he would not use it at all. Malicious compliance at its finest like you want a word doc with his notes? Okay here’s a word doc with a picture attached of all of his hand-written notes.

- To go more in depth on how I think the office was modernized, I like to think that it’s kinda like how it has been for us. It started out with just those boxy computers and now there’s literal robots. Even more threatening, I think that the little pocket universe that the dispatch is in is even more advanced than we are which means it is perfectly reasonable for me to believe that they have fully fledged androids a la detroit: become human style (great game btw highly recommend)

- The title makes a little more sense now that the androids have been mentioned huh? Anyways

- At first, as the paper was taken away slowly and everything was made more digitized, even people who act like cranky grandpas that are fed up with technology (coughWilliamcoughcough) could deal with it. Sure, it took a bit of adjusting, but the whole process was essentially the same just with a lot more emails and a little less human interaction when sending off documents. Nothing too extreme you know

- But then the bots were brought in

- It took the littler jobs at first, doing work that librarians usually would and bringing people things- stuff like that. But then, then, Othello got an idea: what if the droids could reap souls just like other reapers?

- Obviously, this was a long term thing. Othello’s smart, but you can’t build Rome in a day and Othello can’t replace all of the dispatch in a night. And even if when he does make it, he only shows Grelle because he trusts her most lol

- Grelle’s reaction: “What do you mean a robot STOLE MY JOB????”

- Yeah she’s not too happy lol. She knows Othello only means well but she’s also watched a playthrough of Detroit: Become Human and knows it won’t end well so she makes sure that Othello shuts it down. It’s a cool idea in theory, but it isn’t as safe or practical as just having a real reaper on the job. He doesn’t mind shutting it down, he might be a mad scientist but he isn’t that mad. 

- And for my Sascha and Ludger lovers: Sascha absolutely LOVES all of the improvements to the camera as well as how easy it is to get any and all information at the touch of a screen. Ludger likes it, but also knows it has flaws and so tries not to rely on it too too much. For example, he takes handwritten notes and then just types them up later on the computer, he likes it better that way and encourages Sascha does the same.
