POISON GAME: sensitIV

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a pale pink, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is tinged barely yellow like a weak tea, and would be almost completely transparent but for the pulp and fibers mixed in, drifting through it.

Both have flowers floated across the surface: the first a tiny sprinkling of cherry blossom petals; the second a small, but whole, bloomed lotus. They're cute and smell nice. ]

Rather, I don't really think it's degrading, and I don't really feel threatened by other people. . . ?

Re: DISCUSSION

Eh, 'bad' was strong wording in that case. More like nonstandard.

[ or broken but ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . I see.

I think I understand. . . ?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Tell me what you've learned.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . Humans are selfish creatures, desiring inherently to satisfy themselves through whatever means they may in order to gain satisfaction in their life. To do good is to nurture their ego, for they desire to view themselves as noble and beautiful - servitude is therefore ugly, due to the nature of servicing someone else's needs before your own.

Robots. . . . . ? Robots desire efficiency; it is only a waste to exist without having some sort of purpose to fulfill, some sort of role to take on. It matters not what the task at hand might be, so long as a robot's hands are not idle.

[ a pause ]

Though . . . I am not certain a tool is a robot . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

All human made tools are robots in spirit. Robots or dogs.

[ let's ignore all that concerning garbage you just said about humans ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . . Am I human made?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

...Huh. I dunno, actually?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

Am I a robot or a dog?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

You seem kinda like a weird dog?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . A weird dog . . . ?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Yeah, like...a puppy, but different?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . .

Dia-sama said I was like a rabbit . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Really? You ain't nearly that flighty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ stares at her ]

Flighty?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Yeah? Rabbits're flighty. You ain't.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

I don't know what you mean by flighty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Bad shit happens, you die of a heart attack.

Or, y'know, run.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

What sort of animal behaves like I do, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Like I said, a dog. But like, a different one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . I see. Alright, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

...

Hey, btdubs. Dia treatin' you okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . Yes?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . I suppose I did?
