Macaw:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy2JTTG6tz
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8AR1O1S0W
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz7Ax90iP0
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyXqVLDjrE
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzZMYhSz3C
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6oqy4Eud
Echidna:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ4HtEKKHx
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7Xu9KefM
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ub0YpZi9s
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKPE3LibX
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgSxhyEbYL
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…?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMq3rqLNp
Death:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXXetW4oi
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImdoAdqQqy
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5vmQE0zK4
…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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv38WWXOYw
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYKbVtQVkb
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwyDEqJV7
Existential robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKV7nIYqY9
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bx20TeRm9
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUNobOR0aQ
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfBUxfE3Tu
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRf4Xyn8yG
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMGCa12K5j
Small robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CPJmhPU7q
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoXZnV4X5Q
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhs4VV819c
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKutm2Y7q
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHYkHIRXWu
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd7V3Xgk8z
Sad robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0SgRbMyk1
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqN6sv2vMq
…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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMbelOHQPL
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYQ3E96XGZ
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kaeTzMnFr
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE20dyo8ip5
Mushroom:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6oKjEg3p
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUTQndYiBj
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApO0I8DpvA
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ827kfBg1YJ
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSM9CuculL
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWbIcMRzLr
Fennec:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSecjVP42Sg
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XGw1pael0
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vYDq0P2N6
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVxBoM2wZ9
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDruu5ulpZE
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwSZYJ9IIn
Antelope:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIclYoNymW
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMXeWlnkwn
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8g3cCa2BC
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw7d8IF9lf
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW56j1YG5N
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtrr2l3ObE
Orang:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfbDjxf8e
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJXTPrPMUb
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObxvwxukAF
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLCRUfVPU1
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OnE1YdZ5l
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxAcHG34Lm
Dragon Blue:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU57X2eMSx
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45nfPaIIQd
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8no3sMA2Qq
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHMI7Q3oqF
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iG9EizaM7
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCFXVtJAYA
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW3O2hnAZo
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9Ti0hUcQ
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww4HrtLnRf
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Feqv1YCYm
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkqmQGuHYD
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqZ3kwmEj2
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIsPpMb2tS
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBalRmQkFk
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtb3GHh3w
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXfkrYrhT3
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4L4XxuY5X
Alien robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZRhEywRc
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zVEDquZTB
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCU722rNid
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WtyoFVwvW
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRnPwloa63
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPbWQUsI57
Shadow:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOW6dfhYgc
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysCi2w160Z
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQfeGsmo2p
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2dYYK8jz
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!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQoJc2uNl5
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nxESyxDKF
Cat:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LoAYRxmeD
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROlzSSzG2J
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LsdRem4k
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKF1lrwVDu
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uxlPB0USq
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsLIkGjoWW
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEReDWT8u2x
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9N5MHJj6
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm3uj08RZP
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGklFpjbJa
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyOmDDDPfn
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!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fdp4sCSJF
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!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHI4OIDKni
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!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXQfL7JBdD
Evil mage:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBv53k1wbc
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wn2ngznAr
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKbciKmmi6
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMFIlaABs
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAf0eI5eVh
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91agvnrKNj
Honest robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWWBH4g9xJ
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eIb0lt6v4
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaAplzSyzB
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMcrgOC869
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LvhEZDNNs
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7DLrXrpds
Monster plant:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrgV3URoxq
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1PbYSGzxe
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ2v3yDwYg
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvTadR4leC
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKHT2OdTnz
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:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgK0vmBMme
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BTGDEdbiy
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEvgokGG6x
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMoYadHVS
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H34wceuTj
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?!
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeleSo0IAG
Blue robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WkK98KZAk
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKHkwoQLNR
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfhdaLPwo0
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORlO94I7vD
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgRYgWoLY
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ET9Zg0Pj
Turquoise robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFd6sXior
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YOfhLHBmS
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmf2Bb1N4y
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeLvEU80oa
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEY0YJ3pIW
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhQmkK7FxN
Purple robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91bvT0BFK
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEm0RM01YB
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXni4oAmWC
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.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCi1Bh5M0K
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6IvOEfU9e
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?
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFb7HhtOcV
Grey robot:
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicHUI90YEn
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…
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKWh8Wddmi
