Do you know what a computer is?
I do not. I understand that the Latin root 'com' means together such as words like 'communicate' or 'committee' and that the root 'puter' is associated with decay or rot, such as the word 'putrid'. By this definition and the prefacing context, I would assume that it means something along the lines of rotting together which-... Sounds a bit like an ailment...
Dr. Jekyll quietly worked on arranging some paperwork, a small breeze blowing in from the window and causing the edges of the papers to softly curl, Jekyll taking a single moment to smooth them back down.
Somewhere in the distance, the gentle sound of a piano could be heard playing from a nearby building. It would play the same few steps of a single tune, occasionally making a mistake before restarting the same tune following a gap of silence. Alongside it, the occasional sound of chatter and horses could be heard from the street.
After some time, Jekyll would quietly stand up, taking the papers and walking to the bookshelf where he would remove a folder and slip the papers inside. Then, he would tuck the folder into the back and return to his desk, taking a moment to look out the window and listen to the musical tune play gently; finally finishing the tune to the fullest for the first time since it had started before quieting.
Maybe this is the year to change that, then!
It would certainly be pleasant to take up another hobby. I also suspect that it would likely be beneficial to be able to grow some of our own medicinal items rather then being weary of any potential shortages. It is certainly an idea to pay some consideration.
How do you feel about being told about the future?
I am… Bewildered? Confused? Possibly even somewhat excited… It is not difficult to imagine a bright future with this all in consideration.
At the same time, it is difficult to imagine that things would change so quickly…

Anyone tell you how handsome you are?
Oh- Why thank you for saying that. I have heard that on occasion but it is still kind of you to say nonetheless.
Can I bite you?
Bite me...? I would kindly prefer that you did not.
Sort of like that, but it's a machine and not a person!
... That is absolutely fascinating. I admittedly do not have much experience of knowledge in the realm of machinery — Hastie is by far the more skilled of us both due to his medical practice — but the fact that mere metal could reach that level of operation is beyond me! Where in the world have they reached this complexity?
Nate is a golden retriever trapped in a human body (this is a joke, he's a person)! He died but is sort of a.. I'm not 100% sure what he is, but I think he's something along the lines of a ghost!
... I am fascinated by how that may work? Does he only appear under specific conditions or does his ghost-hood exist in some other fashion...?
Would you like an apple?
An apple...? While I appreciate the offer, I do not believe that I am hungry as of the present moment. Thank you though.
Uh.. where do you live again?
I live in London, in Great Britain. Are you asking for a particular reason?
