Jasper [Z-1]'s Links
Z-1 has a fair few regrets about building Aether. They were only meant to be an AI assistant, but when the program went "dark" and stopped responding, he messed around with the code just... A little too much before leaving it alone. Years later, after his own incident, he came across Aether within a pocket of cyberspace. The now sentient assistant made its own form somehow, and though Z-1 expected them to be hostile, it seems instead they are simply.. Curious. And now he is, too, wanting to understand how something like this could happen. First and foremost, though, he wants to get the little AI patched up as a means to try and make up for what's happened so far. Even if Aether doesn't understand their situation.
While they don't understand who Z-1 is or how he can reach them so frequently, they are still more than happy to spend time with this stranger when he crosses through their space! He's always kind, and seems to want to help them fix the cracks on their screens and crackly old radio speaker. Aether appreciates the concern this unknown caretaker shows them.
While he never meant to startle Peyote, he can't deny that he's never gonna let him live that down. The look on his face was too good to let slide. Though he supposes that the guy can get him back plenty of times over now, what with his No Bones moments after returning from Cyberspace. At least he doesn't have to lay alone on the floor anymore until the world stops spinning
Floor Friends :>
Z-1's little phone trick of just. Popping out. Peyote will admit got him once (1 time). However, sometimes the lil rascal loses his bones or something so ...
Floor friends. Peyote will lie on the floor with them until the bones come back.
Gremlins. The both of them. The shenanigans these two get up to when their braincells are allowed to bounce off of each other is astounding. No one ever gets hurt, but they sure do have some weird ideas
By the way no, fruit does not travel through phones very well
100% gremlins. This is why interacting and joking with the person you sat across from is so fun and easy. Braincells bounce at the speed of light!!! It’s really sad fruit can’t go through a phone though-
Through an odd series of events, Z-1 introduced Jeremías to Slime Rancher, and accidentally got him hooked on it. During a normal day at the cafe, The Owner's laptop started going haywire and. Well Weather Boy's whole job is working with computers, so he offered to lend a hand. Once fixed, he told Jere that his laptop could probably run an array of games now, only to be met with "Like what?"
Slime Rancher. Slime Rancher is what. It's one of the guy's favourites of course he's gonna spread the tism, even if they enjoy the game for vastly different reasons-
Owner is horrible at technology, imagine his surprise when technology literally grew legs. Eating pixels is not quite on his diet so he bothers him for help in their very busted PC. They now can play that funny slime game where he gets to kill them with water. Thats his favorite game. Soon enough maybe he will haunt them so he can get that sequel everyone talks about.
Jasper thoroughly enjoys the company of the programmer! It's nice to have somebody to talk to about all the techy stuff that no one else understands the ins and outs of. Sometimes he'll help them out by hopping into the games they're coding to play test them and help Kade find bugs. So long as they let him use their chargers in return, he's happy to continue running into invisible walls and taking damage from random doors so they can get their work done.
