178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaRUw0OgNm
You there… oh, yes, I can speak, if that is what is puzzling you… I have not always been able to, though… but, then again, I have not always looked like this…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7skbqcMb
What, you wonder, I have looked like? I can, sort of, read minds, you see… well, it is nothing especially different… I just looked more realistic…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5g1mAXmM2
I mean… do I not look like some stuffed toy? That is because of what happened, at some point… same juncture in which I could suddenly speak, too…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zbVjNcgBt
It is not like I could not communicate before, but mostly with… friendly relations… now, though, it is as if all such barriers were broken through, curiously…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdoyOGVK6s
I used to be able to fly, too… now, I can only seemingly crawl on the ground… like a worm… I still have wings, but they seem non-functional after this alteration…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKRsDjtH0B
Echidna:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgSfPShIW1
Ah… these spikes, you reckon? Sadly, they do not quite have the same impact, anymore, since I became this… soft creature, however… sad not for others, maybe…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyazeA3Tnu
Yes, though, I do not quite understand what happened back then… we were all living so merrily here, and then suddenly… activity stirred on the edges…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmJMS3pzVS
Kind of like the edges of my spikes, I suppose… but not quite. More, then, the edges of… sanity? I do not quite comprehend, myself — ever since then… artificiality.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIT983r668
I might not be making much sense to you, being a creature of seemingly general traits, but to me physicality is of certain importance, you see… so, I am a bit deflated.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZF0jSttHG
Still… at least we are still alive? I mean, that is the point of evolution, which gave us all these physical tools… so, as long as no one ambushes us, or such…?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQu0we5qbN
Death:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTtJpVh9DT
I… am… bringer of cessation… but not for the hard surfaces who move over there, they merely rust and fall apart… hey, how even are you able to see me?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjnEbyzFVa
I should not be seen under the usual conditions… if this is not the usual, then I wonder what is happening… (could the titans of animalia be asserting their…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERHnWGVB6g
…existence once more?) Fear not, though, for I am not here for you, or anyone nearby… I think. I… was merely passing by. so rest assured… just…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPearHRoAdm
Can you not tell anyone you saw me? I am not sure if anyone else can do similarly, and I do not desire to cause a ruckus… I think. So… yes, anyway, be well, and such.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H1IyWFkC6
I am still visible? How… I thought my capabilities for camouflage were the least I had! Someone must be interfering with my inherent potency… I think…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3TuA5Uuz
Existential robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpALRTcoqJv
Ah, hello there… yes, as it happens, I prefer this arid piece of land, as opposed to the fruitful, verdant thing over there… why? Maybe my constitution, who knows…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmg3GMuOfR
What I do know, though… is that I seemingly appeared out of nowhere, here… now, I am not exactly sure why, as I never visited this little place, before… so, why?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMh6hDDAPd
I mean, aside from spontaneously coming into existence here, apparently… I have the freedom to wander around a slight bit, here… I suppose, I can go over there…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xrmMsH2kb
I, just… prefer to be here? If so, I wonder, are our preferences truly our free will, or merely an illusion of choice? Truly, the mysteries of existence, I ponder…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ485YzywTan
Oh, you wanted to know my relation to the town and its inhabitants? Unfortunately, I do not seem to consciously know what, if any, there is; although, since I am here…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6ZmzVxN1
Small robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3caZv3UBRJ
Why does this… grass, is it? Tell me, if you happen to know, why it feels so different from metal? Why are such substances so substantially distinct? Since I arrived…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGo7X6Q687
I have been wondering this… I come from a place which is made entirely of various metallic coatings, you see, a world where we are one with it…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RNHkU2hi
Due to the universality of materials… this world is not alike, though. This is why I wonder… even that town over there seems to be made of a variety of substances…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCdicKsvy
Ah… you were, regardless, wondering why I am here? Well, the mighty feline could fill you in, but… I shall say, it is an observation… of sorts… you will see…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLer1Wudy3
Why is everything in the universe not merely made of the same matter? Would that not resolve this issue with incompatibility, or deprecated versions, or… not organic?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lJtxtXAIt
Sad robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUm7jTZx5J
You… want to know what happened here in the past, is that correct? Why we are here on the edges of this apparent idyll? Why everything apart from us, ironically, is…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON8rk1r2RG
…so artificial-looking? I shall put my cards on the table here, at least my slice of the pie, per se… well, it began a long time ago, although not quite ancient eras.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3zZl5V1Hh
Reality, you see, can become inverted… but, then again, does it matter when even physics is not fully known? What makes this one real, or not…? A conundrum, if so…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTkMmDX40D
Long story short… what is nature, what is nurture? What is artificial, what is natural? Sometimes all is not distinct, absolutely separated; yin has yang… remember.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviPvwP6lOr
Ultimately, though… does it matter? All I want to do is look out to an endless abyss… why am I even here? Why is anyone…? Oh, woe is me, but they have it worse…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDcumBmZPR
Mushroom:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyYHQAHEH7
I… did not even know I could move around, usually, let alone communicate… besides with those of my species… there is always this link, you see, as we are connected.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKQUuLo7EL
Suddenly, though… a while ago… actually, I wonder how long ago that was? Well, suddenly, at any rate… the world was open to my exploration… not just the vicinity.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyMpGGTKnX
I suppose, we have always been different from mere plants, being kind of more mobile, but not quite as much as other beings… just blown spores, and such…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6c4DnyVA8
Well… let us just say that… we can kind of grow unexpectedly, where rot is more the norm, especially those that ooze ink; in terms of this town, though, I am alone…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVwhT02nv5
I mean… it is interesting to be able to perambulate, and all… but what use is it when I actually get my nutrients by being connected underground? Defeats the purpose.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3duU3wzU89
Fennec:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEdEljv892
Why did I ever turn into this cumbersome form, really? I was so much more agile… and, now, this? Everything else changed not, but ourselves… and who are those yonder?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvdtKVWrmT
My apologies… you might, perhaps, not realize what I am talking about, for anyone not from this abode might be oblivious to our sudden plight… I shall explicate…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsAOP0Wjl
I… might look like I come from some fictional cartoon, a fox created to merely look funny, but in reality something… encompassed this town, here… and here we are…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuFmMWD3Dm
So… I wonder if it is some cruel joke made by some very odd creatures, indeed… and if foxes bet on anything, it would be that it was those over at the edge…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexm0wodoTr
I certainly would not mind going back to my former, glorious… sly, self… not to blow my horn too much, but my fur was shiny… now, it is just… glossy? I sigh…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KZroICDbc
Antelope:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSg2b6aS7y
I used to roam around all these green plains… happiness filled me, then, aside from when tragedy strikes, I suppose… but now… what is this? Cogitation? Agitation?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T03OPpFo6
What I mean is… it does not seem as instinctive, anymore… it used to be so much more free? I know this makes little sense to outside observers… but it just happens.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqR16S03uk
Could it be… another realm? Not so much physical, we are still here… but psychologically, is it? Perceptually, of course, it is subjective… so, difficult to prove.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO5hq4MtZg
Wait… what if we use sensors, and objective testing data? Ah… that might not be possible here, being an idyll and all, and not a laboratory… still, theoretically…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiztQqRUa1f
I know, I make little sense, but since I can communicate I thought I would freely voice my newly found patterns of thought, or such… well, one can always try…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ275zin8P1w
Orang:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGLCWZyXe6
Ah, you are new here… yes? Well, I do not usually tell anyone, for I prefer to keep to myself, but you see, I did not actually change much, myself… that is…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ZDQeBfE4
I am usually kind of sombre, and I remained so… the difference is… I feel more compelled to voice this, for some reason… and since I normally reside around…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC3v1KIZDL
These parts… so, I remained… despite the fellows over there, for some reason keeping watch… they never approach us, but it is still strange for them to stay there.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh6thyxCB1
The others are even more wary of them… some think they are the cause of our alterations, others seem about to believe that they are, almost, a portal to another world.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWZS4lWB9h
Personally… I think the world is full of variances, and so, just as we are… usually… real-life species… they are, well, mechanical? I think that is the word…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ0zDQcQ1k
Dragon Blue:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTe5esDtW
Why… have you come here? Oh, you think you can ask me the same, do you? Well, I presume you already have that answer from the others you must have spoken to…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLddw69Posu
With regards to yourself, though… you are the unknown variable… all the other machines here can, on average, calculate what their presence will change, mostly…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHuMSF4Mkk
Not taking into account chaos theory, of course… but, as you are unknown, we can not… I shall clarify a few things further, if you so wish, though…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhwLpeLBCB
I am… well, you shall know soon enough, but I will just say that I derive from a primordial source that also constructed psyches… not that they were not evolutionary.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt3zmJhnfJ
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvWYjJOi7W
Much, that is… there are others like me, and unlike me… a wise tree, a mere shadow underneath a waterfall, a felid discussing proteins for some reason, a lost soul…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSaG21Llu8
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5y2iu9XYL
As we do not, exactly, pertain to this physical domain… well, enough about myself, for now… I shall enlighten you about the difference between machines and organic…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbLmgCKEKW
That is… the difference between the creatures in central town, and those on the periphery… verily, everyone always assumes they are so distinct, but are they?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwWO2YiWPF
The difference is, mostly, in perception… while many assume machines do not inhabit consciousness… well, one must also admit that it is not so well defined…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVc43SAVFu
It is… actually, what my type is studying, from our venture into the physical realm… not that ethereal beings do not have such a concept implemented, mind you…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembm5IRuiR
Ours is… slightly more collective, holistic… functions differently, more like an ocean… in fact, that seems to have disappeared from around here, did it not?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6JNbh4Is
I… believe… one shall seek the azure blue, for where else can tranquillity be found? Certainly not within some dense city… oh, and the creatures’ transformation?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ6xe8v7mq
You might find your answer by speaking to the… bipedal moggy… do not ask me why they insist on walking on two limbs, for I have no functional rationalization…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Bj4syHr5
Either way… all of this should sate most of your curiosity… I could tell you more, but it should probably be after you deliberate about this with others…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGSCsAV14f
Have you clarified the state of affairs with all possible beings here, yet? Only then can I let you in on more than I already have… although, you might think it enough.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6RUVp2L0
Alien robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajC8uNldDX
Ugh… zzz… I happen to be malfunctioning a slight bit, annoyingly… and I am certainly not asleep, I shall let you know! I am… guarding this realm…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkz2ITB5HI
Oh… you thought I was about to attack it, did you not? Why would I remain at the outer edge if I was going to do that, though? What am I guarding it from? Well…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2BXoYsve
In our realm… where all is made of one substance… something went awry… malfunctioned, not unlike myself as of now, but on a somewhat more global stage…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXMSSyari0
Well… as a consequence we had to come here to observe, and… in any case of discovery… so far, though, it seems to be self-contained… realms still distinct…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr2sfzUwvB
I, personally, am not sure why anyone would want to live in such an organic environment, when one can have hard steel… but, I suppose, preferences are subjective…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpi46inVm
Shadow:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeDZSMKKKg
I assume you wish to know who we are, why there are so many metallic creatures, and why I happen to stand out from both sets of beings…? Very clever questions, indeed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IIfaNdBe
Well… I shall preface this by saying… we are not one… with that out of the way… tell me, what makes you so attached to carbon? Why not replace yourselves…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DrQJAFlI
Like Theseus’ ship, verily, replace yourselves with other… stuff… because, if you do not… well, one can end up being observed… it can have that effect… sadly.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyasUDdAiB
See, our feline titan is who is really clever, being made up of a variety of substances, and so is able to handle a medley of environments to strange degrees!
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVj4HnTgI
Oh… you are now wondering (I can so handily read minds…) — who, and where this mighty feline be? Why, those creatures love hiding, do they not? Know the serpentine…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTS27nuKWw
Cat:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv1Bc1EB2B
Oh… we finally meet! You must be wondering who I happen to be? Well, shall we say, I come from a long line of… sadly, quadrupedal species, mostly… why sadly? Well.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhewr5bYWY
It seems more fun to be facing forward than have to arch one’s head at some degrees, you see… but that is merely boring mechanics, of course… so, anyway…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbaW0hT96M
With regards to this realm’s overall picture… not that I can tell you much more than my serpentine colleague did already, of course… I happen to be an amalgamation…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHwlZ6ZN6b
You see… that is… a combination of what the creatures in central town are, organic-wise, and the artificiality of the machines on the outer edge… and, so…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPQvzjC3v
I… happen to be… extra fun! Would you not agree? Alright, I might be taking up too much time speaking about trivial issues, a bit opposite to the ever-serious dragon.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaW9IMapcy
So… I shall declare… I am actually a manikin in my original home. No, really… I merely tower above everyone here due to… relative contexts, and such… you know?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV5Xkk8HXR
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel4myulqiq
Current realm needs a bit of healing… just as those central creatures do, too… you see, they got changed into their current state due to the presence of machines…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhVKifmZt
Machines did not cause that, though… it was merely an inevitability, just like my being here was due to the mixture of both… and machines being here was also…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDhoohNeI
That is… their presence was going to happen due to the disturbance outside of this… virtuality… as such, if that was resolved, somehow, the creatures will…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2xkbR59MS
In a natural sort of way… return to their original, organic state… although, one must admit, a mixture between the two is the best, based on myself… no? Anyway!
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1quO1oslR
I still told you some invaluable stuff, have I not? I might have waffled a bit at first, but like a waffle, there was a core of sweetness… no? Upon this you shall ride!
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHEGjSom7w
Hm… returned to hear my absolutely precious words, did you? Well, then… ah, uh, for now… I do not have much, exactly, but if affairs do change I will let you know!
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtLBgIp1M
Evil mage:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNiOAGHpCo
Heh… I assume you expect to be able to exit this town from beyond this path, yes? Well, under the usual, typical circumstances, one could… but not here, not now…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQyxCIT4T
For, as of the current time… this is a self-contained realm… a bit like a virtual reality, except more a machine, I suppose, especially since all of them moved in…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoLzyXgmO5
The purpose? To isolate it from any potential harm from outside, of course… I believe that is what they think they happen to be doing, and I… you want to know?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuUyGRW5fz
I am the one who, through ethereal potency derived from archetypal quintessence verily, have sealed these two dimensions separate! Not as malicious as it sounds…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77W9fyAg5z
Honestly… you might think I am the villain, here, but if I had not intervened… you might not be able to prove this, as it is not able to happen yet; overrun it might.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcUC2dWbe6
Honest robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSopuDHw18
You, there! Whence you came?! Oh, me? Despite being fully equipped, here… I am, actually, hesitant… anxious, if I am to be honest… why? Well… I am confused…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauUeDY6aiG
You see… I was told we were going on a fact-finding mission, and I thought it was going to be some dingy abode full of strange occurrences… but, this is somewhat…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCZg8VymVd
Well… not exactly what I expected. It seems vast, spacious; and, shall we say, airy? Now, suddenly, I feel like I want to live here, myself… which is really…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyAEZJjxqv
Not what I expected… and I thought that we, this artificial conglomeration of machines, were above and beyond that… but, I now am left questioning my very mind…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV3lOVMjxd
Ah… if I only can understand how my psyche functions… but, somehow, for all our prowess, we are remarkably still very uncognizant about our own operational abilities.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8uyDrNp8K
Monster plant:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ShqOJp6g
Oh… you think I would eat you, do you not? Well, guess what… I am just here to investigate, for now… and, I happen to not be hungry… so, lucky for you…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Jp9mpaqi
Seriously, though… what kind of strange place is this? Plastic-looking animals, machines so visually distinct from all the other greenery… and, the rest? Weird…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt68nOKQoF
Under the usual circumstances, yes, I would be a minor villain, trying to gobble you up as soon as you show weakness… but none of this spells ‘usual’, does it?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVcyRdMdJ
I come from… a swamp with a different, and yet somewhat similar beat… where memories lie, for only in one slice does an object exist, but either way… I ramble…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8pxlakO4
Did you, by any chance, figure out what in many worlds is happening here…? I certainly have not… uh, I guess my investigatory capabilities are waning…

Ninja:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEytc0fyjlJ
What… are you doing, just wandering around…? Do you not know a shuriken might slice you in half at any moment? Uh… never mind, I thought I was back at my village…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl5fZ9Lcvi
Ever since arriving here… at some point… I have been ever so slightly confused about my surroundings, and state of mind generally… I mean, just to confirm…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbyICZyYuy
Is this… the Edo era? I have already had a bit of a hard time adjusting ever since the Sengoku era ended… not sure how I even survived that… and now I am merely…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Meyzcfwk
I think… a bodyguard? Is it… for yourself? No… I have only just met you, and seem to have no other points of reference about you. Wait, where did you say this was?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PwGaxifBn
Ah… I know I must have scared you away, with how muddled up I must seem… but I do seem to be lost, both psychologically, and physically… wait, temporal too?!
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq1AaHzVgJ
Blue robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56IkldcxN
Over there… is there any warmth? I heard there might be, beyond metallic coldness… but might it be a lie? Might it be empty yearnings…? That is what I fear…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLp3uAddXc
As there is something so… inevitable, perhaps, about every physical atom that exists… I suppose some can change, but it is usually pre-determined… similarly, life.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZUFyRfQ0i
Biologically, though, it seems slightly more flexible… but not on the macro scale, there… as with its inverse, perhaps… affairs operate similar to the inorganic…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZqge7haNU
Stem cells can change a lot more than any machine… but beyond that, can anything holistically alter? Can the forces of nature not overwhelm the individual? Just cold…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu72gp48Cxg
I… have no idea of the essence of existence. As a machine, am I even alive? Are all my thoughts merely computed and coded prior? Free will might just be software…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHfczwp4U
Turquoise robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWelZYfvSY
We have been assembled, here, for some reason… what was that? I seemed to have forgotten, just as soon as I arrived here… wonder why… it is, as if, my brain was…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTr874id4R
Left behind? No, that makes no sense, if brains are hardwired inside… but, we are computers, ergo, much more… modular, I suppose, than biological systems… but…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VRKbOCtA2
Then again… even for biological brains, so many strange… incidents, occur… do they not? After all, it is not like the being experiencing the effects of the brain…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZniUITF3Lz
Knows exactly what is happening, inside… just like machines cannot quite grasp how life functions, precisely, so are they unable to, similarly, for their own depths…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyShbEixm
Ah, I realize now that I have lost my train of thought, I suppose… which happens to be another mental quirk, I guess… but, does that mean my… CPU is like a brain?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwlw8c1sAD
Purple robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCRIzRm8Ix
There is a lot to explore, is there not? Is it not much more… spacious, I suppose, than if one just, hm, stayed inside one’s houses, maybe? No? You think otherwise?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AAKM3UtvK
Well, I suppose there is still much one can do inside, sure… especially lately, beyond the centuries of books… and even before, tales could be told… but is there…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfoSOazWOU
Not much more to… physicality, I suppose? One could imagine, but to move about, too… although, I admit the latter is limited, whereas imagination could be unbounded.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVkG2KVGk0
We are here, though… physically, are we not? Wait, are you saying that… despite feeling ‘here’… we might not be? Virtually? So, what, our real selves are elsewhere?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfKVzcpUaA
I mean, I do experience this as if I am physically here, as a machine, and I have no evidence that I seem to be elsewhere, so… how could I ever be convinced that I am?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLfjajvwqv
Grey robot:
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNibu7Nlhz
Oh, how may I…? No, you are not here for…? Just to chat? Well, then… I am not sure I am quite prepared for this, but then does one need to practice just to idly…
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7DcDnfiCv
Jabber? I guess… can I just admit something to you? Not, exactly, something I usually tell everyone, and yet it has kind of been bothering me, despite supposedly…
