" Yeah " " Zilch sounds very out of " Denise tries to think of the word " Touch " Dennis said " Thank you " " Sorry , I accidentally ... sigh , gave them a really good time " she was embarrassed to have to tell what happened .
She heard two gasp " Dennis , are you sure you're a virgin before you did it " her mother teased " Dennis , I didn't know you had it in you " her grandmother said and Dennis was embarrassed to talk about that conversation .
" I am so glad you decided to do that " her mother said " Yes , me too " Dennis said as if those words were squeezed out of a slightly damp towel , while her mother knew those words were very true .
" Come on , if possible , I would also like it if you could be engaged with the others . In fact , you should also invite those Titans that have confessed to you " " I'd rather not , mom " " Why not ? They confessed to your clones , which is actually you "
Dennis thought of dropping that subject now and said " Look , I may not have gotten pregnant from either Satin or Zilch or got them pregnant , but it doesn't mean I don't want any more children "
" Why are you suddenly changing the subject " her mother Looks at the phone as she Sees through Dennis's thoughts " NO !!! " " Yes mom , right now I am creating an imaginary world to raise them , so in the meantime , don't go saying you are willing to accept whatever marriage proposals they sent to you "
Denny starts whispering to her mother " Mom , we'll have to reschedule the replies to those marriage proposals we wrote " " What !? But I worked very hard learning all of their languages to write it by hand "
" Okay bye , Dennis , have a good night with your lovers " she closes the call and begins talking to her mother about what she just Saw " Is that true ? " " Yes Mom ! And Dennis is actually following through with it . Even though she did it to get the moral high ground , she is actually looking forward to it and we should too "
" OOHH , I'd better order as much food as I can " " Should we tell the three ? " " Oh , they probably know ... But if not , it will be a great surprise . I'm going to search for as many gifts as I can "
The two mothers were very excited about Dennis's endeavors .
...
The next day , Dennis initiates the return of her clones and records the reactions of the tribes " So it seems like the Titans are curious , but clearly I didn't satisfy their curiosity when I bought things they were familiar with "
Dennis smiles , seeing the successful addition of curiosity that the Titans were starting to grow ' Alright , now I just have to ensure they keep growing more curious while I investigate their stories and tradition '
Dennis checks how the curiosity factor is growing and recalls how she can make them more open-minded until she can eventually get them excited to see worlds beyond theirs .
' Even if this world is completely out of proportion , I can see why it was such a hard assignment ... But I can handle it ' Dennis thought and continues her work as she immerses herself into the culture of the Titans , as she becomes more in touch with their traditions and with their life , while the Titans all become increasingly curious about their foreign friend .
Dennis's work went as normal like a few confessions here and there , with a different context as the Titans constantly kept changing things , trying to charm her .
The other Titans were curious about their foreign friend and as a tight-knit community , they continued to talk about their foreign friend with the strange name . Dennis records the increasing curiosity and wonders how she can further strengthen their open-mindedness .
' This is difficult in its own way ' she felt hands wrap around her in an embrace " Dear ? " Dennis still can't get over this feeling where someone can force their love so easily into her life when she was so used to being alone .
" Yes " " I just want to say how great you were yesterday " Zilch says , acting shy " I'm really not used to this kind of company " " You mean like being one with the community and having very infatuated lovers ? " Zilch asked .
" There's you and there's those Titans . When I usually help around , I am very unattached to the things I do , but frequently the people I help are very attached . I don't get it very well because I usually see it as doing them a favor , so I don't feel awkward when I Save their aging "
" You know if they don't have any emotional attachments , your world would eventually become like Industry world " " It would " Zilch rubs their face on the neck .
" I want a kiss " Zilch pushes themselves closer to Dennis " You expect a mouth to be on my neck ? " " Yes " " That won't be possible because I Loaded some dreaming time to study Sounds and figure out how to talk without using my mouth . Mom says it's unnerving "
" She did ? " Zilch asked wondering when Dennis had the time to meet with her mother " She will , I'm just hoping that she doesn't show the visualization of Sounds " " Is this another Expression " Dennis then froze while Zilch wondered what she was thinking " Another inspiration ? "
" Something else actually , I just hope it doesn't affect my life that much ... How's Satin " " What about me ? " Dennis turns to them and kisses them while she maintains her control over the clones .
" So , how's Satin " " Ehe , they're still sleeping and reflecting on the memories they receive . " Zilch said as they fell into a daze ' Satin hardly has said anything . In fact , it feels like they really are like a pet , but Mom insists that they aren't like that '
Dennis looks at Zilch and asks , " How are you doing in the universities ? " " I'm doing really well , a lot of me have been getting a lot of legal qualifications like from the sage towers , some summoners are offering a few of me temporary familiar contracts , so I use that to earn some money . But it's not as much as you , so I was thinking of doing some business schools "
" Did you ever get the chance to go to one ? " Zilch shook their head " No , as slaves , we only work as gears while the freer populations make the choices . But you don't have to talk to me now , your work can have for the day , but me and Satin get to have you for the night "
' Are they asking for that ? Seems to be right ' Dennis faces Zilch and sees that their eyes remain close ' Alright , I'll just keep working '
...
By night , Dennis compiles a report of today's occurrence , with the main subject being an increase in curiosity and a wish for something new because the friend didn't bring anything that would sate their curiosity " I would still need to grow their interest in the unknown "
Dennis thought of the landscape and the many dangers and found an opening ' I think I know just how to do it ' she moved her sleeping quarters to a more isolated and more dangerous site .
A lot of people were worried , but Dennis kept insisting through the friends that she does that because she feels out of touch with their origin ' It's technically not wrong '
Dennis also made sure that her words about being curious about the world outside were as clear as possible and when the time of rest came , Dennis placed her clones in faraway sites .
' This should be a good one , hopefully Review and Attributes will show some proof of their growing curiosity , although at this stage the deviations are going to be more visible , but there is some development . '
" Dennis , are you done with work ? " Zilch asked Dennis to finish it quickly " I am now . It's so nice of you to call me Dennis instead of ... the other word " " You really don't like that word ? " " Of course not , even though you are lagging , you are growing at an incredible rate "
" That's only because we're a collective , we take turns attending Universities and sharing our understanding and notes " " So I'm dating with a community ? "
" I thought you knew that ? " " I know I was dating a lot of people at once , but I just never figured out how you were able to maintain your other works " " We're actually doing it much better than you would , but somehow you make it work . Isn't it stressful to do several things differently " Zilch asked , still having trouble accepting that Dennis was a human .
" No , I figured out how to automate by having a lot of experience in me . In fact , when I was a kid , I played Tetris while listening to radio lectures and I still got good grades "
" But you're talking to different people at the same time " " I make it work , but it takes too long to explain " Zilch opens their Eyes to See " Oh , that is a lot of work to make it work "
" Well , I think I'm doing well around a week and I've already made a lot of progress in Titan . They all say that things have been changing for the better with the friends around . Hopefully , my little project will show them that their foreign friend is still around . "
" Are you almost done with it ? " " Close , I haven't started it yet because I still have a few things I need to prepare before I start " " I can help you if you want , I can split bodies and distribute our minds "
" Sure , I guess this is a two-person job " " Every one of those little projects is , but you are planning to juggle between all of them like you are with the tribes " " It's not that hard . I just need to get used to it progressively "
Zilch sighs and notices that the dinner they cooked was cold " we should've been eating " " Don't worry about it , it's pretty early " she then begins wondering why it was early and turned to Zilch , who was Looking at her .
Seeing how Zilch was using Eye and nodding " Really ? " " Come on , we had a big day at work , most of us were working since we wanted to catch up " Zilch pleaded .
" Alright , but none of us are getting knocked up " Zilch then whispers , but Dennis abruptly said no " We are already enjoying it as it is " " You don't seem to enjoy it " " I do , I just go through the feeling the faster " " You were certainly patient with me when we did it "
" You're lucky my kids are away " Dennis looks at Satin , who has remained in the bed for a long time " Satin Master is going to do it tonight " Satin's ... possibly ears or maybe horns perked up as they threw the blanket away and spat out web to hang it .
Then they proceed to prepare the bed ' When I have a lover , I did not expect this kind of nightlife . I was very satisfied with a normal embrace , now I have to go through this ' Dennis complains and thought of that comment .
' I guess while other's are dying of thirst I'm drowning in an ocean '
...
The next day , Dennis gets up much earlier and Loads some time to make the final touches on the Imaginary world ' Perfect , this is the best form of self-efficiency '
Dennis had applied several gifts to this perfect world of hers , with the weather made with Seasons , a protective barrier made with Bubbles , buildings from Window's stretched-out definition which is Architecture and Fill .
While filling it with many of the Expressions she created , which serves as a security measure and as art . While Shelves provided several sources of entertainment and education .
' This is such a beautiful world , I am so glad I pushed the limits of Loading time for it ' she felt very proud to be able to create that dream of a perfect self-sustaining world that she had begun dreaming after that date with Routen and wonders how he's doing .
But knowing what is occurring outside , he might have some trouble she isn't aware of yet ' But I did set him up for something , so hopefully he survives the social battles '
Dennis tries hard to recall that she had some preparations for him and wonders if the banquet would be the right time because it seems to be the only place where a lot of people will gather .
' Well , when that time comes , hopefully I'll have some precautions ready ' Dennis then looks at the lifeless rooms and begins her little project .
...
" Thank you for the food owner " the clone said and that was the last memory they had before they woke up in another body that's just like theirs but smaller .
Their body felt very weak and they recalled the Strings that had controlled their body . They then looked at a somewhat familiar figure " Oh Dennis , look , this one seems to remember "
Another voice echoed " I'm just more worried about those other clones " " Oh , don't worry , I'm sure you Filtered out the memories and with your more than adequate understanding of memories , I'm sure you've completely left a clone with no memories like a normal child should "
Dennis could hear a few of Zilch say similar things as they gathered up their children ' I better give them a good life , it would be wrong to bring them to this world and neglect them '
Dennis wonders if a mother who does both work and child rearing at the same time was familiar , but then again , she was already deviating far from the norms , just as her mother and grandmother had when they were able to work despite being pregnant .
She recalls how Lute had asked to date her , but she had refused because she and he had a completely different lifestyle and the same was said to her other acquaintances .
' There have been a few cute boys and courageous enough girls before , but thankfully , I practiced restraining myself before ' Dennis thought of that tactic where you list what you want and wait for time to tell you if you do want it to prevent impulse buying .
" Dennis ? " Hazel asked to snap Dennis out of her daze " Sorry , I'm a bit overstaffed today " " And by overstaffed , you mean you have stretched your consciousness thin or you are being overwhelmed by the Titans "
" I am overwhelmed " ' I just had to give in to my impulse , at least mom and grandma will enjoy this kind of story . I heard that great grandma would've been interested because she always enjoyed listening to stories that were so new and alien '
Dennis plans to call in her entire lineage from the afterlife that the deeper places of the united world seem to have access to , just because they seem to be the only kind of family she will ever have .
' Why does my lineage always have a single child ' Dennis wishes she had a cousin or a sibling , but like her grandmother said " Debrah marriages either never last or never happened "
' I wonder what they are doing ? '
...
" Hmm , says here that , bunnies have strong hind legs and we need to buy them socks that are filled with cotton and any soft fabrics " Denise said and the gift children sat on different pushcarts , wondering how much all of this would ring up .
" These are expensive " Saver complained " But quality " Denise says " Now , you will have to learn to be ... good older siblings for your younger ones . We don't know what kind of child rearing Dennis has in plan but the more important part is that they are growing "
Denny then receives a phone call from Zilch " Afternoon Zilch ... Already ... SHE'S DOING WHAT !? ... Really ... Oh my goodness " " What's wrong " Denny then proceeds to say everything in a single breath .
" WHAT ? " Denise shouts " I know ! What is she thinking !? " Denny yelled " You better go and stop what she is doing " Denny looks at Deks and they show her some skill cards " Thank you , dear "
Denny leaves and arrives by Dennis " DENNIS , YOU WILL NOT BE RAISING MY GRANDCHILDREN THAT WAY " Dennis turned to her mother " But I was doing so well "
...
Dennis told the Titans their foreign friend was going to rest ' I can make something out of this ' " Can you explain what Zilch said when you've been Loading a lot of time to raise them ? "
" It was possible because I increased the gravity " " I'm not asking about the technicalities . I just know you are using time to nurture them " her mother said " Okay , it's just that I couldn't just send them to any nursery , plus I finished the courses of raising children "
Her mother was surprised to hear that " Really ? What about making friends ? " " Mom , there are so many children in there " Denny gave up after imagining Dennis's argument " How many years ? " " About 6 " " take them out now "
Denny felt her giftspace open and wondered how that was possible and saw her mom Looking into it " Let me go introduce myself and stop the time thing " Dennis sighs and makes the black holes around stop " Got it fixed " " Thank you dear . Now go back to work . "
After her mother leaves , Dennis returns to her work and returns the clone to continue working ' I can see some levels of increasing curiosity , maybe I should start adding more strange habits into it . should keep that moderation though '
By evening , Denny came out with several children that were with her , calling her grandma " Those children of yours are so ADORABLE Dennis . I'm keeping them " " But those are mine " " Oh , they won't miss you . Come on Zilch , you will help me bring them "
" Okay , Bye Dear " Zilch says happily while Dennis was already starting to miss her children ' God , I've become too soft ' but recalling how her adorable children were like , Dennis couldn't help but look at the clones she has ' I mean , it's not gonna be that hard , plus I'm almost done '
A few black holes appeared in her gift space and she retrieved the clones . The next day , she had a several little 6-year-old Titan children " Alright , so just for today , do you think you can let Mommy control your body first " " Okay " they all said and Dennis sighed , glad that they were okay with it .
' It's a good thing children are so open with new things ' Dennis continues her work while letting her children enjoy free play and she didn't realize that Zilch and the other kids returned .
" Mom made new siblings " Zilch was surprised that Dennis did it overnight on her own " Hello Zilch , Mom said she really loves you " one of the Titan children says as Zilch couldn't help but feel joy seeing all these children " I'm glad Dennis told you about me "
' I'm more surprised how they turned up ' Zilch began distributing the task of handling each child to the many minds they have , but then they noticed a certain change with one of the children .
" Conny ? " " What !? How do you know ? " " It would be strange I didn't notice . Why did you look like a Titan child ? " " I wanted to see mom's work "
Another of Zilch noticed the change as well as more of the children began trading bodies and spiritual appearance " Oh no , Children stop " but before Zilch knew it , the children had shuffled themselves among their siblings .
' Oh , how do I tell Dennis ? ' Zilch tried so hard trying to find out which child was which with the notes that Dennis left , but by evening , they were crying in a room .
Dennis walked into the room with Satin on her shoulder " Are you okay ? " " Dennis , I'm a failure of a parent " Dennis looked at the strings that connected to her children and to the Titan children's bodies .
" Oh , that's a tangled mess " " I KNOW " Zilch's voices sobbed , Dennis Filled the room with a bed and brought Zilch close to her " It's alright these are a lot of children and you shouldn't blame yourself since I made them just to get a moral high ground "
" How do you do it ? You're supposed to be a heartbreaking girl who has no business with all these things at once " Dennis took a deep breath and gave Zilch all the technicalities of how she achieved her current state of unmatched optimization and data crunching ability .
" Honestly , it's surprising how I was able to come to this level of parallel data crunching ability . Because before I used to just play Tetris while listening to the radio data , now I do play that Tetris Brain world makes which requires me to picture where the blocks would be and the program would grade whether that was feasible or not in normal Tetris rules "
Zilch was already dealing with an emotional breakdown , so after Dennis had used Sounds to answer their question , they were suddenly so confused " Okay , so definitely not the answer you want because it was cold and soulless "
" Yeah ... it's a good distraction " Zilch said with less tears " Well , I did it because my mom , grandma , and her mom and so on have always done it alone . We always felt like we had only ourselves to count on in life because the parents were busy getting promoted to feed the family . "
" But I'm not alone , I have so many of me " " That's true , but Filter didn't want a slave who could take care of children " " But I watched all those shows " " And I learned a lot about educating children in my free time , while you go to universities to expand your credentials . "
" What are you saying " " You didn't learn the values needed to raise children , in fact , part of handling the youth is personality . And with how often you keep hopping between several bodies and lending the body to a different you , I hardly think that you had time to develop your selves , but your mind is great though "
" Can't you say the same for Satin ? " " Oh no , they got a lot of personality from their gene pool , there are some traits imbued in the gene that aren't found elsewhere , like knowing how to make a nest with your spit or forming a larvae for metamorphosis and a more prominent one is finding a good mate "
Zilch could smell some scent in the air emitted from Satin " They really don't care a lot about reading the room " " Oh good , you're not thinking about being a bad parent "
Zilch pulled themselves away " You're mean " " I didn't want to be a bad partner because I was just distracting you from the problems " Zilch smiled and leaned on Dennis .
" Plus , I already fixed our kids' identity problem . I untangled the Strings and got them back in their original bodies and spiritual appearance while I was talking " Zilch chuckled " You're really great , dear . Should we get married "
" Mom already did the paperwork and I don't like the attention " Dennis said " ... Me too " " Why ? " " Why are you asking ? " " Because answering questions is a form of expression which you clearly don't have "
Zilch fidgets and thinks about it " I just feel ashamed because I was a slave before . When you kissed me , I was so worried about what people would be thinking about . Hey , weren't we talking about our children ... or your children cause you put the most work "
" I know , but it's not like parenting is an equal job and you weren't prepared at all " Zilch continues to lean and said " I know you're not insulting us " " I'm not , you really shouldn't just say that you have to be as good as me when you haven't even found an identity for yourselves "
Zilch thinks about it " Would you love us ? " Dennis faces Zilch and Zilch Looks at her " Oh my ... you have a lot of fantasies " " Exactly , so I wouldn't mind if you have different personalities , I can handle them just as well as I can handle the kids "
Zilch has some ideas " Some of me do want to go to a more creative route , the arts are very interesting " " Great , art is a good place to nurture the soul and self-identity "
" You really won't mind ? " " I won't , I honestly would love to just be a housewife and just make cooking recipes that anyone can make as a money source , but I'm too greedy "
" You should call it generational shaper " " Soft language is only good for people who have a fragile heart , like kids " " I'm one of those kids " " You all are " " You're mean " " Cause that's what I usually am , Keep up already "
" I'll try , but I'm just like a kid as far as I can tell " " I'm not gonna rush you , you got a big headstart and that headstart has destroyed most of your self-identity , so you all in there should take your time to nurture yourself as a person "
" Alright then , Satin , make sure to keep Dennis satisfied with her nightly urges " Zilch teases ' I can control it ' Dennis thought " I know " Zilch says and leaves while Dennis worries about them ' I'm sure they'll be fine '
She still sent a text to Willow to help handle the IDs Zilch was going to need .
