363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdQFq44XKC
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7vTgWbQm2
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAah8xD98tu
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jxu0fa12
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NHrqIVgkB
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz9Ec46QPq
Echidna:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcy1QA85hp
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODP4kcDsG
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsDt8WvcTe
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1V32CZyF
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEqyxFAGW
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…?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnusbHK9jB
Death:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5kJuD6Ze4
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiyt3kWQUg
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiU1Y7E7ou
…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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMNlJwOHl2
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSNwbHSDd
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMmWWhonBq
Existential robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt47oYGouR
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GzBRJRBLT
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAndCCgY9
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDErM7ZNWd
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZzFwoUYX
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk6hPEw6VA
Small robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyonkVLXuHt
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HrAUpEOfO
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYOyz9GQbo
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcNDFZgmx
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTsl7yP3Jv
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKzHCiOlxH
Sad robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXHsJBW8hY
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHTi0mBWtC
…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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUakvNnENTN
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjoy5f5Xw5
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP28B3v5Lv
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH46aGeC59o
Mushroom:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLRkD6CV7w
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHjKXLCgff
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuES5JdkUUq
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H5npTVDcL
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld63TH7iAf
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3MPrRGc6
Fennec:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIT8mnu11
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuFPFTn09s
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI6ppAZdnk
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIQPoEFQJV
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VCaRtcds
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9bomwCDtt
Antelope:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8FVaQQ8YK
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBgLXaXp5Q
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr6jd1VcWI
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7tz7SLWAL
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTkfGKfCOE
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eU7ls7yoH
Orang:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy22CqNcS8n
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmVR8nhEaY
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfH49RwbLb
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFGYnyU94a
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TtdvFlp20
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFncSrSPmGf
Dragon Blue:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdk8skB3mE
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByH8F608s
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIcCCIb8Xg
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZlv8C10AL
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBCYFooQ1I
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYFWnuovdZ
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0D47N3iI6
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMFmALhi8Q
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEoluZniEI
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y5WwYj15W
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJoCBsWX2j
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMnvgUeUA
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveDLp2DMXm
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTawKuugJip
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeOQTRZcyS
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GBRd6eD8f
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ofTM0H8kv
Alien robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPESsIaQ77
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaSEPOeSLf
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UG1rYNqFN
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3THEgcjCzw
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw1OdXd6Tx
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnFAj9H5nx
Shadow:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl97SwTZX8
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T2TRcNZZa
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFv2eaotws
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBqDFtzde
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!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjX6RTNRKi
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshRfEySJP
Cat:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA4jRqt8hF
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDecay6JrMR
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR0KOcAthw
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeeagjQfxQ
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EzOprrkZe
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqFqhAbarm
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3kUuW1Iz
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH40NaZyjXh
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZabc9jGh
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2cTrQuIwy
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcztVkWh2p
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!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHvbA6pAcm
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!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nzVLagKV
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!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hsoAfnTNf
Evil mage:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1vjq3hP6
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhSFYOUg5j
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKRGOQLAS
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KAIbT0jxU
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4cxSYQnmQ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4kFhlxA96
Honest robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzV42IaelZ
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMjczDi0cW
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15pvAUm88E
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEz4uGbeuJ
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGGmQY4lcy
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxkuU1pq49
Monster plant:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHHWZw2tlo
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuOPAvv6Av
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRsiYL938f
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHEm40OfZo
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe31I1HZcp
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:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLExZv8gDJl
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSTfu1zzPy
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeq6pSwHJ6
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtItwbt5aFC
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS3v63B144
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?!
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKzftrPsEN
Blue robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkUaxPshUX
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5tpV3dsBY
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0nltIoWoh
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWLUl3gbhY
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3t224mOtg
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ3G2d1VRc
Turquoise robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4CDr0aeLz
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKYVypUly9
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxXoHb6PT
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAkiU0moF
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqVcTDa54u
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vDnKIMbZX
Purple robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN4fAyxIaF
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614vxqt2Hg
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96jsO45puH
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26ZvXokoY
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3CVdvvJv
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrjbvfvMgL
Grey robot:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWBXiVslzW
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQvIN7etK
