#but Chica and Monty dont get the beans

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Roxanne was probably the first animatronic to get a basic, touch/pressure sensor set up, resembling pawpads, so that the animatronics don't squeeze the hands of others too hard, and can know what they are walking on. What was it like for roxanne to be able to feel what she is touching for the first time?

Honestly? I typically put her as the last animatronic to be made and thus started out with the sense of smell and touch. Can't remember where that idea came from but in a case where she didn't start with paw pads!!!

She spends the entire day and night just touching stuff and poking at the new toe beans. When she's left to get used to the upgrade in her room, if she has fluffy casing at this point, will not stop touching her face, muzzle, hair and tail. She's constantly in awe of just how soft and squishy everything is and she's never without something in her paws for more than two seconds. Like wow this feels like that??? She thought it feel like that other thing!!

She shows the others these paw pads and Chica thinks they're adorable. She wants them too, she's so jealous. They spend a little while getting her to tell her how they all feel and she does her best. She is stunned to feel how squishy Monty feels like what the fuck why is he like that???

Her tail is wagging pretty much all day and everyone keeps giving her things to find out what they feel like. She is surprised how weak children's grips are when they hold her paws. She thought they'd feel tougher.

She spends at least an hour with her paw in a cup of water. She's fascinated by how weird it feels but if this sense of touch extends to the rest of her, she quickly learns she hates the feeling of wet fur. She does that thing cats do when they get a bit of water on their paws and they shake it out. If this sense of touch is in the rest of her, she is one spilt drink away from learning she can't really control herself from shaking her fur out completely when it's wet.

She quickly decides she prefers the carpeted floor of her room to the cold floor tiles pretty much everywhere else. It's softer on her new toe beans and oh wow how is the daycare floor that squishy??? She spends a while trying to explain to Sunny how the padded floors feel to her while they're poking at the beans on her hand paws. She hates the feeling of the escalators. A while after this discovery she's like "fuck it" and jumps from the balconies to the lower floors instead of using them until she breaks one of her knees. Yeah, that was a fun conversation to have with whoever had to come help her up again. She has yet to live this down.

But yeah, she spends several days all wide eyed and amazed and while she is trying very hard to look cool about it, she's still pretty obvious. It's fun to learn what all these things she could only see and smell for so long actually feel like.
