POLKA DOT: I’m sorry somebody ruined something like that for you, seriously.
POLKA DOT: But…it’s not your fault.
POLKA DOT: They probably would have been awful even if you weren’t wearing that outfit. They’d find a reason and just…that’s why they gotta get kicked out.
POLKA DOT: If it wasn’t you, it’d be someone else. They’re just terrible people.
ROULETTE: I... don't want to make assumptions about the morality of others based on a single incident.
ROULETTE: What happened was simply... unfortunate, nothing more, and... it-
ROULETTE: ...being honest: The less I think about it, the better.
POLKA DOT: I...get you there, yeah.
POLKA DOT: Sorry.
POLKA DOT: If you're looking for something that would be low key and out of the way of the more uhh....'main' attractions of the place, you want me to try and help you find something?
POLKA DOT: I've been working in the kitchen for instance and you don't directly interact with anyone, you make the food and someone else takes it out.
ROULETTE: Already tried kitchen work here.
ROULETTE: Disaster.
ROULETTE: I do not believe I should be allowed within ten feet of a kitchen anymore.
ROULETTE: ...Or Vine, for that matter. I feel I should trouble her as little as possible after last time.
ROULETTE: ...Working in the kitchen was what I attempted first.
ROULETTE: When that didn't work out, I tried to serve rooms, and-
ROULETTE: Well, you witnessed how that turned out.
ROULETTE: . . .
ROULETTE: ...I... think...
ROULETTE: ...I am running out of options here.
ROULETTE: Ultimately this isn't your issue, and nothing you should worry about.
ROULETTE: I apologize for bending your ear for so long. I appreciate you listening.
VINE: Okay…we should probably get your phone all set up.
TIMOTHY: Kind of wish I got one now…
VINE: Another time, Tim.
VINE: …how’d things go over there, though? I thought you were all done talking to Roulette.
TIMOTHY: Wait, you talked to Roulette? Was that while I was over with Devo in the store?
TIMOTHY: What’s up?
POLKA DOT: But…it’s not your fault.

The bot looks about ready to bolt ahead when you speak up,
pulling back into the conversation with you.

It shakes its head, cutting off the thought.
ROULETTE: ...being honest: The less I think about it, the better.
POLKA DOT: I...get you there, yeah.
POLKA DOT: Sorry.
You think to yourself for a few quiet moments.

It glances down at the pavement, keeping its voice quieter.
ROULETTE: ...Or Vine, for that matter. I feel I should trouble her as little as possible after last time.
The bot sighs.

Roulette straightens up as the group approaches Laurie's.
ROULETTE: Ultimately this isn't your issue, and nothing you should worry about.
ROULETTE: I apologize for bending your ear for so long. I appreciate you listening.
The bot awkwardly makes its way back over to Devo once everyone gathers inside, not really giving you time to respond.
Vine and Tim shuffle over, thankfully giving you a break from your own now-restless thoughts.
