Macaw:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp7MFaesuo
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF6MI3Niw9
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcH41OyThj
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5rSsM7JVv
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuATGacHcn
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzx6BW3wIB
Echidna:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8uUngb2Z
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosKQMWa0G
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc557NvwBJ
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHu5CFd5TV
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmRON08ne
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…?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLx4k1zsKZ
Death:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3rRrLFtUS
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtAmTnujTu
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iXLOxsS7P
…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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFxowK4OV0
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJwlDaM6YL
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMW1ewUcVU
Existential robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHXHesgMHL
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzrw9mimfa
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo91Si1bK9
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRvQYcNJx
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMytLKyO0G
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO4GlH3HB6
Small robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gUmyKtciW
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV45h2AwSG
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxuOfPihrV
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKSRKPTZh4
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC5nVVbhW2
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVqXd5krz
Sad robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoKItq7A4U
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFKYeJ0kC5
…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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0vFeZSY8L
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsyoC9uzSj
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLECMSnl9H
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7dOwfBEZR
Mushroom:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDkymK8oP6
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFz8Ny5c2F
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBPIjFJPfc
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtA0mnL2r3
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ySqLDvdFg
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2KXSinWM3
Fennec:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmq7hJ2npE
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GyxnbO932
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8TgS3iAi
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZp0dyHw5u
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUINmgoCMXL
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6b8mwRmaY
Antelope:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHnmoKh8ha
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBYU2Osqgh
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GDJQvl4RG
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl8vpa6Rwy
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvUglZFmXe
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIalPbtZwT
Orang:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIxheYCtX2
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihehEFuxcV
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKYTjPmMJy
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBOz8n8cDD
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn95S1bCvF
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Cw3ewS4Y
Dragon Blue:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvSPKOmpFO
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJdFMLejlZ
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9Dlyx5UE
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2slWUTQDyM
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIS23gcMY7
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpOwXr8EQC
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxPtUaOKA
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFWxAVUvqz
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoQvlCgxF7
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrSVNFW7g8
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWgnzxiGcQ
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3AUGcCSiM
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyKaftQ2Z4
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaQT28bPVi
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvPaKZWxVx
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHjcLq3foW
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQe7Oegdxf
Alien robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWsN79fWcj
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqDp9mfNy7
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aXgsUHPzj
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIywVJKMbt
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cNEPdPNpk
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfeA1qxQW
Shadow:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VrEodVz4C
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWgKn15H3J
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilTEeqkQ5g
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lA5Sx3kZD
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!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLd83pWtGl
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhoOvyBpDi
Cat:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58fc1krHiW
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzsOZa3bxv
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswkwndGrF5
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFpNiussJ7
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDVRg8Qlx3
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uCuZaq4Vk
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafjyXzJYu0
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEw4jevqIg
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0jw8iZsgG
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6P5lwToRH
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6stkiJU4a
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!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwvIwVAyro
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!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX41t9fVygD
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!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgtYykJ0JO
Evil mage:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH59EGsORY
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiEED1hJOH
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3XKJ2eaQ6
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtTpArW4tu
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqRHrRVLZe
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn47UOISlb
Honest robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLVnWopZ1E
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJqCXtCTH8
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUAOnX35mS
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24jS0yzTjQ
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWosRvxqWR
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E2IUVJriG
Monster plant:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATfyXSQnv6
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLePfFuy0Qx
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzxOtZoJT5
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA8NJBXwm7
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYAW3YVm7X
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4GdiJIj9
Ninja:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcbd048fFs
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X2QiaxfdE
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlAZhkdM6q
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXtIWBTxsu
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SEZqafRj
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?!
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETjZf6kVJD
Blue robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgLYKIFkjm
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYqpFS9Ys5
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoW2ie7K9i
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIwvmpakWk
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnywoZRzmk
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBqF0WgCpH
Turquoise robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCfC1h1Kw
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QHmy65SGr
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUDQhYxH0u
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRbBMtq4nk
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8xFaOVau4
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5yjF8gIG4
Purple robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TjeC0LcGv
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnlAEsK8Co
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hF73tSBty
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgiWbWnyVh
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnvrdbJMeL
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVadOPviO5A
Grey robot:
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZzGiWf8uE
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…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bU5p1f73
