Who: David and Jarvis.
What: A chat.
When: March 15th.
Where: Jarvis's home.
Rating: Low.
Status: In Progress.

Honestly, Jarvis is more than happy to indulge David's questions about the dream world. He can't blame him, after all. It's something that men like them hope to achieve their entire careers, flawless artificial intelligences.

Saturdays are quiet days, so Jarvis invites David over for a talk over coffee or tea. At the sound of his guest arriving, he answers the door with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Weyland." Jarvis paused, then gave David an apologetic smile. "David, I mean. I'm sorry. Sometimes the formality slips. Please, come in." He steps aside to let the other man in, and closes the door behind him.

	"Always David," he smiles, teasingly, and touches Jarvis's arm lightly in greeting before slipping inside. "Thank you so much for agreeing to see me. I'm really very disappointed that I haven't had any intriguing dreams of my own yet, so I'll have to live vicariously." (Reply to this) (Thread)

"Of course." Jarvis just looks amused as he nods his head. "I daresay it's the dream thing sneaking up. At times I'm worried I'm going to become entirely robotic in a sense."

He puts on the kettle and laughs, giving a shrug.

"Oh, I'm certain your dreams will be worth talking about if they happen. But I'm always glad to have a fresh point of view when discussing mine. Did you know that Mr. Stark is actually toying with the idea of building an AI like that? He claims it wouldn't make me redundant, but, let's face it, he'd essentially be replacing me with a better version. Jarvis two-point-oh."

	"I very much doubt he could ever truly replace you. After all, there are some things that humans can do that AI can't, aren't there? Emotional things. I'll be certain to let you know if you ever become too robotic." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You are too kind. Anyway, I'm not sure my dream counterpart is entirely emotionless. If that makes sense?" Jarvis gets out some mugs for their tea. "He's not on a human scale of course but there's fondness, if nothing else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd certainly like to think that robots and AI, on a certain level, are capable of some basic emotions. Fondness. Perhaps anger. It can all be taught, we just have to get there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Artificial intelligence seems to be on your mind quite a lot lately. Would it have anything to do with this project of yours?" Jarvis teases. "Or is that top secret information you're not allowed to let leak to your competitors?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It might, at that. You know my work has to do with artificial intelligence and robotics, so that isn't anything new. It's just the specifics I'm not allowed to share." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose my own curiosity has just increased a but due to my dreams. I understand how it all works, of course, but I may need to defer you if I need clarification on anything. My expertise lies more in the manufacturing of things rather than the system that runs it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I'd be more than happy to help you better understand your drams. Though I admit, it is for slightly selfish reasons." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Trying to further your research at my expense, hmm?" Jarvis is teasing, of course. He looks amused as he sits at the table, setting out their tea and letting his steep. "How are you, by the way? I failed to inquire." (Reply to this) (Parent)
