(Dirk feels a flush of pride and satisfaction at K finding him clever. Compliments about his looks slid off Dirk's back, but compliments to his work? To his mind? That made him feel inflated and important in a way his looks never would. Even if he was massively shallow.
The greeting to his AI makes Dirk grin. He knows Anti-Dirk is grinning too because they were one and the same, and there's a comfortable overlap of both sides of the souls feeling equally flattered by K. Dirk says 'thank you' almost the exact same time as Anti-Dirk sends over several smiley emotes.)
He functions through my subconscious, so, yes. He was designed with the purpose of replicating certain thoughts and feelings I typically have and processing them to create an organic conversational experience. (Dirk, holy shit, cool it with talking like the world's biggest nerd.)
He's both designed as an AI as much as he is a vessel for part of my soul. The end result is satisfying, I think. My dream self floats around here all the time, so I'm trying to maintain both halves of myself and figured Anti-Dirk would help with some of the delays. I'm kinda notorious for uh...What did my friends call it...
(It had been a while.)
I "zombie the fuck out" or whatever where I just kind of leave my mind and go to another, so the one me is just sort of staring off into space and not really with it. (Which he has done a few times around K now.) I've been trying to get better at it, but operating multiple bodies is a bitch.
(Oh. Dirk leans forward, as if he would really be able to see anything about K's eyes. It's grim, but he can understand the functionality.)
Why would your kind be retired? (...Wait.) That was insensitive of me to ask. Sorry. You don't have to answer. It just seems like...

A waste.
