The Carnival
The Carnival
“Battery cell fully charged. “ She said in a monotone voice that echoed in a empty hotel room. Alina was getting prepared to the annual Automaton Festive Carnival in Brazil where hundreds of robots and androids of all shapes and forms would gather in the streets to celebrate the whole evening. She flew in Brazil just this afternoon and would be staying for 2 days. This was Alina's first attendance at the Carnival and this year would be quite the event since it was the 90th iteration of the event.
The carnival was very known to androids and technophiles alike. Alina was always particularly interested to participate in the past but couldn’t because of her work and now the timing couldn’t be better to go for this year 90th anniversary.
“Charging cable disconnected.“ She said as she unplug the cord from the charging port located to the side of her abdomen. Alina’s current body was a sight to behold. She was robotic from neck to toe with partly covered mechanical joints on her knees, elbows and shoulders. Only her head was human-like: gorgeous latina woman, looking in her late twenties with brown wavy short hair. Although, that was the hair she chose to wear for the carnival as it was a wig plate that she could just switch and attach on top of her plastic head.
Same for the rest of her body, she had ordered some custom body parts just for the event. She went with body parts matching her latin skin tone with bright green carnival-like stripes around the legs and arms parts. The crotch part had a exotic green panty painted on it giving it a sexy carnival look and her chest plate was something she never wore before. Her breast were big, round and busty with a matching color paint coat finish of a bikini top covering her breast in half with the matching backplate on her back. All parts were made of thick hard plastic with a glossy finish.
Since her current body was very sexualized, she couldn’t walk casually outside under these circumstances. She had to wear a long sweater to cover her body after installing those body parts. Still, it was awkward to look at since her chest was really prominent under the sweater and also for the fact that robots of her kind looked abnormal in human clothes. Her “normal” attire was nothing more than a grey and white metallic robotic body which didn’t required to be clothed. But tonight was the night to show off the modifications she had made, as she really wanted to participate at the event at least once in her robotic life.
“Still have an hour and 3 minutes left before the event. OK. Just need to install this program and see if everything is OK.” She said to herself after a quick status update.
A robot going to a carnival and not knowing how to dance would make one stand out amongst the crowd. Although, Alina could always run the default dance.act file extension in her system to simulate dancing but that was way too basic. Alina was able to find online a program with several preprogrammed dance routines she could perform. A bit taxing on CPU usage, from online users review she read about, but nonetheless the highest rated dancing program application out there for androids. The program was compatible with her model type and she met the minimum requirement too.
She had previously downloaded the program on to her laptop and needed to run it into her system matrix managing software for a smooth installation. Already in front of her laptop, she typed in a few commands and a prompt instructed her to connect herself to the laptop. With mechanical precision, she plug herself and nearly instantly froze as her managing software established a connection with her. The android arms readjusted themselves bending slightly forward to its default position when in standby mode. The system matrix managing software started uploading the program into her and a lot of information data was rapidly flashing in her field of vision, processing all the incoming data, creating new directories within her system. After a few minute, the upload was complete and she needed to reboot to complete the installation. “Shutting down.” She said before powering down, closing her eyes and lowering her head.
A second later, a soft beep was heard as she powered up. “Unit SDX-535 activated, startup process initiated…verifying system files…loading system files…initializing SST4500RX unit...loading settings…loading complete. Female unit SDX-535 working within parameters“ Alina said in a robotic monotone tone, gazing straight ahead without any emotions, her body twitching a little and her pupils flickered as her CPU was still managing all the loading sequence to boot her up in autonomous mode. She then proceeded to unplugged herself from her laptop.
Her system notified her of a new program installed since her last activation. “Now to test this.” She said to herself.
Faint whir sounds could be heard as she got up and walked in front of a tall mirror reflecting her sexy body. She quickly access the new program in her hard drive and ran the testing mode. Automatically, she started dancing to one of the preprogrammed dance routines in her newly repository database, dancing with more grace than the average human. A little odd since there was no music in the room, only the sound of grinding joints performing an incoherent robotic melody. Alina regained a normal posture after the testing sequence ended. Her system didn’t detect any anomalies or errors and the program itself sent a successful test result to her. Alina’s checked her CPU usage during the test and it registered a high peak usage at the start of the test but it wasn’t problematic, just normal computation load, the program was working within parameters.
“Oh yaay!” she said clapping her hands in a cutesy way. Happy with the results, she just needed to put on some carnival trinkets and she was good to go. She took out some bracelets, jewelry beads and a tiara to wear. After putting them on, she was now ready as she glanced at her really hot body in front of the mirror, slowly turning back at the mirror doing an inhumane 180° head rotation at the same time to look at her back of her body. Satisfied, she swiveled back her head to the front in a robotic way with noticeable whirring sound, ready to carry out her objective: attend the Automaton Festive Carnival.
