Chapter 20 - Chapter 20

One day two siblings were just busy roaming about the city on their own. They did not have much to do that day as they any class or assignment doing at the time. Everyone was once a villager of an isolated village in the depths of what was now referred to as the South. They were now a robotic resident of a small city like area that was built around where the Southern Guardian that they served was sat on their throne quitely and inactivate. As they were offline they actually had no orders to follow others thus just living as they always had before. So went about their days as robots the same as they did when they were humans for the most part. Not having a care in the world as they lived out each day one at a time just now without most of the human concepts and mannerisms they once had. They no longer had usages for them in their current state nor were they even present anymore within their minds either.

"I just got a good idea," the sister said as she came to her brother.

"Ohhhh! Go on tell me...tell me" the brother asked with vest interested

"You know how we are always told never to touch Lady Cami directly or else something will happen," the sister said

"Everyone knows not to do that," her brother told her.

"Want to find out why for ourselves. We can be told not to do but how will we know for sure what will happen if we do not do it ourselves" she said

"We know what will happen as everyone knows that though" he informed.

They actually did know that everyone being a robot meant they could share various information and even memories directly with others. Thus they could see what happened for themselves rather than merely hear about it only.

"We just see what happened from their point of view, as we are viewing their memories, but we do not know how things were exactly from that. Do not you want to know how for yourself? Come on, it would be interesting, as it would only be for a moment. What is the worst that can happen to us?" the sister says.

Ropped into his sister's scheme the two then went out to look for Cami to see if they could touch her directly as per their plan. The two siblings were looking around for her location directly rather than looking it up like they could have done. They were not looking to alert her to their presence and/or motions so this is why they were doing it the old fashion way. They managed to find Cami was busy with cleaning her oversized shirt that she normally wore. One of the residents of the city did something like this. With them all being robots they had no sense of human modesty and thus had no problems walking around without any clothes on at all. After all, they had no usage for them thus they did not bother wearing them as a result. The only reason Cami wore a shirt herself at all was because it served a purpose in her case. She could not touch others or herself without her ability going into effect thus why she wore the shirt she was given that over the majority of her body and the sleeve over her hands. She kept it clean and well managed because she was subordinate to the Southern Guardian after all. While they no longer had a sense of human modesty as robots, they did keep themselves clean when they got dirty and took proper care of themselves. It's just that it was in a different manner than when they were all still human.

Cami was about to put her shirt back on after it had finished properly dry when the two siblings managed to sneak up on her. Able to do so because they were residents of the city and thus did not trigger any senors that those that were not or had some kind of negative intent would otherwise. They then reach out with their hands, the sister using only a finger and the brother their entire hand to touch Cami's bare shoulder directly. Upon doing so the two siblings just immediately went offline in an instant as they did not even have time to register what happened. One moment they were activated and the next they were not anymore. There was nothing to feel and they now could not even remove themselves from Cami on their own anymore.

The grey robot for her part did feel a jolt run through her as she turned to see the two offline siblings just standing there vacantly looking up at her. Now stuck in the process as if they were trying to ask her something but are not able to get it out at the moment. Sighing as she put back on her shirt she then began looking up who they were and going about contacting their parents to inform them of what happened.

It was sometime later that the sibling's mother arrived after getting the notice from Cami about what her kids had done.

"I am sorry for the trouble my kids have caused you, Lady Cami" their mother as she was bowing before her. 

"It happens as kids will be kids after all" she replied

The mother then went about pushing the dolly her kids were placed on to their home. They were still offline at the moment thus she had to take them home this way where they would be properly punished once they came back online again by their mother.

----------------------------------------------

"That was the story of the time they did that," Cami said 

She was clapping her hands together while Page was pointing to the two kids that were flying in the sky at the moment. When he asked about them Cami told him the story of what happened between her and them along with how the flight was an ability many residents had gained after their roboticization. Thus was used in such a recreational manner by them.
