Ask ARA - Gesture introduction? (24hr)

 

Last time on Ask ARA: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ara-guest-3-18719431


Practice with Vikna reveals only that ARA has no formalities currently loaded. Faced with a few options, and no time left, the question this time around is this:


What quick action, phrase or gesture should be performed when greeting such a superior?


This is an open-ended question to the comments. This post will be open for one day here, and then make a short poll tomorrow for another day in which you all can vote on the best answer.

I'm also for some level of either an elaborate bow or curtsy, followed by an accepted gesture but, Vikna has to nervously teach it quick; and does so, but with noticeable fumbles that Ara repeats, given the protocols are NOT loaded.

Archregent Kazumi

Head butt, sneak attack damage to the nuts!

Spartan277

i second to the bowing gesture, a nice, clean, wordless gesture.

MaximKitsune

Ok, let me be as clear as possible on how to proceed: "Database db= new Database(); db.ConnectAndInit(); Salute salute= new Salute(); std::vector<salute> saluteVector = db.Find("Formal Salute"); int i = 0; while(!saluteVector[i].isAppropiate("EmeprorLevel") && i < saluteVector.size() ) ++i; salute = saluteVector[i]; salute.Play();"

Forceful bow that, standing too close to the emperor, hits him somewhere somehow.

BlackestDawn

I donโ€™t think my heart could bare seeing poor sweet ARA suffer a wardrobe malfunction ๐Ÿ˜ข

General Degeneracy

Why so many suggestions of "bow and fall off the emperor"?! ๐Ÿคฃ this is not anime.๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Simone Spinozzi

Just cause it would be funny if he acted less formally and made vikina freak out โ€œhey rado *holds paw up for high five* โ€œ

Shurtugalskulblaka

Just because of how funny this would be: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sihBO2Q2QdY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sihBO2Q2QdY</a>

Military salute (since she's part of a military vessel anyway) and a slight bow after that, with a formal greeting "we welcome you..." etc. with a "we" given that being a relay android she's supposed to represent a good chunk of the ship's systems anyway. If prompted with (the probably much more cordial answers, if not outright obscene with double entendres, knowing Fluff-o) keep a good old nice poker face (she can switch off emotional responses i hope)... and try and respond only when addressed, with honesty, and do (with the best of dignity) anything that gets asked.

Simone Spinozzi

bowing or kneeling!

Shake the emperors hand (lady-like) despite a small wardrobe malfunction in front of others and emperor unaware. :3

Canis Lupis Rex

Wardrobe malfunction as she bows.

Synariel

Clearly she should press her tongue against her inner cheek as she moves a cupped hand closer to her O shaped agape mouth. I kid. Really, she should simply nod her head politely and put her hands behind her back, standing straight and cordial.

KCDodger

A deep, elegant bow.. facing the wrong way.

Vicki M.

Valanse

A deep bow with hands coming out elegantly to the side, Tail curled at the feet. Look down as you do. You are not equal to him and you are not an opponent, your eyes must break contact till you rise.

Spartan277

Stand at attention and salute

"I admire your chair. It's very tall."

Not Telling

๐Ÿ‘Œ Enough said

Jamez115

YES! YES! ALL MY YES! Dear god, please, yes! XD

Silvador

I'm standing by my previous suggestion from the last poll on greeting royalty.

Gorehound

I'm thinking the quick bow with hands folded together in front of her chest might do, with her possibly falling forward off balance and stumbling into the Emperor. :)

Offering a handshake would be pretty awkward

Diamondstorm

I'd say a lazy wave and a 'sup bro'.

JennyC6

Just try to do a simple bow, hands folded in front of you.

Volpethrope

"Nanu nanu"

Ngrasta

Similarly, the carefully curated art of an NFL 'good game' ...

WorstCat

I guess a simple 'hi-five' is asking too much. Or too little. But it would go along with her previous answer.

WorstCat

Howbout a bow, but she bows so low and lifts her tail so high her underwear is visible :D and either she falls or smacks into the emperor

KHVathiel

Yesssss I was thinking the same exact thing.

Thunderclap421

I might regret this, but I was trying to think of the most inappropriate thing. I was thinking some sort of rude gesture, but none seemed to fit. Then it popped in my head, the Nazi salute. Everyone around would be freaking out because she'd have no idea what it meant. I find that hilarious. Of course, that'd make for a horrible picture. :P

Eidi

And, no, that doesn't mean sticking a finger (or more) up his butt. Some people's kids, sheesh....

Adrian V. Nunenkamp

Prostration. Rad seems the sort to enjoy abasing others. Since ARA is an AI, well....

Adrian V. Nunenkamp

Military salute. (That or the finger.)

Cult of Dust

Bowing so fast/low that she bumps her head on the floor or something would be pretty funny

Copper

The handshake from Undercover Brother <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_IJCpZfrPA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_IJCpZfrPA</a>

A graceful bow, with little to no eye contact. Also, speak only when spoken to around the imperial emperor.

C-Fed

I was thinking the fist-bump from Big Hero Six that Baymax does. He is an android after all, lol

JaggedVeil163

"Do a barrel roll!"

Antoine Davis

whatever it is don't salute, bow, and offer to shake their hand all at the same time. you have to go for one at a time.

Acrid Rose

Live long and prosper...

RougeNation

(high-fives the air) Top of the mornin to ya!

DarkWolfElite

Salute and shake hands.

Antoine Davis

Bow. Lower than they bow if they are a superior, but not so low your balance accelerometers have a chance of failing.

Acrid Rose

Most sensibly, a bow. Or the salute thing that Vikna does?

Her entire serial number and model number

DjDankRoast

kissing his majesty's feet

BeingHappy

"High-five!"
