Taka's (and Ishida's) First Video Chat with Kiibo

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Well, you have an ahoge she can mess with too!" Kiibo replies.
"Mine is going to end up contorted before this afternoon is over. You take her."

"Oh, so you want mine to get messed up?"
"Mine's made of metal and more vulnerable. Yours can be easily washed.
"Good point, but why don't you let her play around up there for a little longer?"

Kiibo sighs.
"Okay, fine. But if Iruma-san has to fix my ahoge, I'm blaming you."

"Kiibo-kun, do you remember why we scheduled this meeting?" Kiyotaka asks, grabbing Kiibo's attention again.

"Oh, yes. To get me adjusted to having to deal with Ishida-kun next week. Maybe we should get to that..."

Kiyotaka nods.
"Now, I think you'll have to turn off your camera for a second. Mondo told me that when Ishida takes control, a very bright light is released. I don't know how that affects people through phones yet, since you aren't seeing it directly, but maybe you should do that just for precautionary measures."

Kiibo promptly turns his camera off.
"Take as long as you need to get ready, Ishimaru-kun," he says.

"It only takes a couple of seconds," Kiyotaka replies.
"I'm sure Ishida will make his presence known when he's ready."

"Alright, go ahead," says Kiibo.

The normal white light gradually envelops the prefect, ultimately turning him into Ishida.
"Turn on your camera, microwave," he says.

"Excuse me?" Kiibo asks with slight anger in his voice.
"I am not a microwave! I am a robot!"

"Kiibo, just turn on your camera. We won't get anywhere if you don't, okay? I don't think it makes much sense to get angry over robophobic remarks right now."

With an audible groan, Kiibo turns back on his camera. He and Shuichi lay eyes on Ishida for the first time.

"Hello," Kiibo says with a slightly annoyed tone.
"I can tell I am going to prefer Ishimaru-kun just based off of that first impression..."

He mumbled that last part. Even when annoyed, polite robo is still polite robo.

"How did your hair turn white just by changing alters?" asks Shuichi while trying to quell Kiibo.
"And why is there fire coming from your eyes?"

Ishida shrugs.
"I dunno. It just happens. I don't choose how I appear."

Then he notices Elena, who's still on Kiibo's head.
"Whose little bird is that?" he asks.

"I don't know if you know him or not, but this budgie belongs to Korekiyo Shinguji, who's the Ultimate Anthropologist. The budgie's name is Elena."

"Don't they study people or some crap?" asks Ishida.

"Yeah, I believe so," Shuichi replies.
The detective pokes the robot's shoulder, trying to get him to talk. He doesn't.

"Kiibo, are you still mad?" Shuichi asks his boyfriend.

Kiibo nods, his arms crossed.

"Jeez, he's mad just 'cause I called him a microwave?"
Ishida scoffs, shaking his head.

"Well, you haven't apologized for being robophobic, so I will not talk to you until you do so!"

"Kiibo, you just talked to him," Shuichi chuckles.

"That doesn't count, Shuichi," Kiibo replies.
"He better apologize. I refuse to communicate with robophobes."

Ishida sighs.
"Ugh, fine. Sorry."

"I would recommend you not saying anything else that may offend him," Shuichi tells Ishida.

"Yes, please don't," Kiibo says.
"I will not hesitate to sue you."

Shuichi chuckles.
"You haven't sued anyone yet. I think you just say that to get people off your case."

"That isn't the point," says Kiibo.

"Regardless, you're gonna have to get used to me being around," Ishida says with a shrug.
"Taka and Mondo already went over the plans with Iruma. There's no turnin' back now. Sorry 'bout your luck."

"Well, keep any robophobic remarks to yourself in the future, or next week will not be fun for you," Kiibo tells Ishida.

"Not makin' any promises."

Shuichi looks at his watch.
"Kiibo, it's 2:30. Kiyo told us to bring Elena back around this time."

"Alright, I'll get her off of my head," Kiibo replies.
Once Elena is off of his head, he smiles at the budgie.

"Goodbye, little friend. I will see you later."

Shuichi takes Elena out of the room and closes the door, leaving Kiibo alone in his dorm with Ishida.

"So you like that bird," Ishida says.

Kiibo nods.
"I like her a lot. She's such a gentle little bird. Frankly, I'm a bit envious of Shinguji-kun now."

"Then why don't you get one of your own?"

"I don't think I have the time to accommodate a bird who needs lots of attention into my busy schedule," Kiibo replies.
"It would be nice, though."

"Well, if you can't get one, how 'bout you use some kinda feature you surely have to become one?"

Kiibo stares at him.
"I have no such feature," he mumbles.

"Well, that's just too bad," says Ishida.
"Sucks to be you."

"I'm going to leave now, if you don't mind. We'll try again next week. Goodbye."

Without giving Ishida time to speak, Kiibo ends the video chat. Ishida, with nothing else to do, turns back into Kiyotaka.
