139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVcw3Cdc7a
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuhQg2YSRD
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ptPIoCH1a
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9utm1rzFES
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwQx0m0o3
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyHlQiZ7Lw
Echidna:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX09eDq61w
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEhs4iwE3S
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy4PB545ph
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrk8rLqjrA
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsCLOjmiOn
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…?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96M1M5nyLZ
Death:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ304rcm4M73
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJXdQNLjYi
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU45XLnRQS
…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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2FNgCuw0
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg55Gfm1ji
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xMT7JfZFH
Existential robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIiRRG1O9f
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBjVSzVt4v
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDINslAfR
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NE2dwY5O2
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAhLmdqRC
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDer3cLF7P
Small robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lqxYTBnFd
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37LaJjAqWD
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6LggjHeX
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaYsbTqsXS
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvempSv4j2J
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM2VSGBUA4
Sad robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9rkbBVKTx
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuispHPY8t3
…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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVL6O6OQJh
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG0PmQ4TGu
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPRF9jB6JB
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrRWfCPFk
Mushroom:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AGQ9pJZ6K
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjt7je7TmC
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrevN70Xdr
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNIvIK0AzB
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk431J9tAo
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NuwbcEM0A
Fennec:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoJFBEK5OS
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73WeZb9r5
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlamHnx2LO
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9HvuqJhg
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyXiUlfE89
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8D8cWHXIc
Antelope:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbEbkb1gBG
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD1Xo5yAXA
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkpWQtuRWk
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfoPWBOUMz
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiuBXtEVU0
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3dGzKfOK1
Orang:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMG1vIUFjn
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifvTtc64i0
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyKNltObh
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ChvX43kFA
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5AVvyG0F8
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16RZev5pn
Dragon Blue:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITVqEJRrpo
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pd3Ynp9X
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZjMfavkLd
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn1G4iN4yf
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn08GUcCDZ
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbidP7eIqP
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKC55B72KD
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv2yIac863
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPzVBQW7t
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzboZsqtLxz
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgzqErRZwP
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GYIST1wQ1
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7XtvNnS1E
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie2qgCuRdO
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkctI5GWtDz
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MlLb8vJRp
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8YZehnlxY
Alien robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIP8KLOmRN
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC50UfuUK1c
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnfWASLe5i
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUth7HuFHlK
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VQ7PbPlS
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU6spECTZW
Shadow:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFf1noMgjF
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NHKeLfGWH
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeOJIHVX4l
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIWCTzYiQn
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!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptWgP7cIHd
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4XqRtsAdj
Cat:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jfMHarNGv
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKEN0QwO12
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2TYHR5kH3
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxvZx7vhR
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m6WPg6ybG
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXM0bH256f
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SBU2xmw0W
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJC9sSYLdu
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDfgnRqZ1i
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcYE6AJO4S
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB3ObzkBhP
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!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn04pTc1am
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!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCARMXH9V8
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!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcsY9W6gA
Evil mage:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvCn7ai9UT
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP7Dqzf7t4
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JakjfexPK
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4K6ebgsm9
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRiXIYQgys
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.

Honest robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzaQg2SyWt
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKiLDaH1MD
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOzAZ6KElD
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nKC1xl0EF
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb65m4Zvsd
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.

Monster plant:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yS43NCJGE
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIUc5O5nSL
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkJzt8b85
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfvFIvORSg
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOR1r99b5
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:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKXieMeKIK
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HqB8Q27VW
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECPMD7UoQX
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM7gnpPYEE
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOhwrISzjS
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?!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceaCsKa3Gn
Blue robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWTABam9pI
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAbbCVioxO
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pGotx7Ngq
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxOtcuqwKS
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXupmYgEC
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt55sx1GIK
Turquoise robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD16Pj8eIxO
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszOfmsv36l
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yWjlvFfW1
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYHas6N04
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qU2lm3OPW
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdGFjd1MT5
Purple robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSTWNCDCe
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWZuhTv9N
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFihBClxDJY
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIQjKb1Zz
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?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvF6ISA2B6
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?

Grey robot:
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2iC5LWAHO
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…
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj2Ueh0CBv
