Huh, and [ cough. ] "interesting" concept for a game. [ he hates the lab setting ( a lot ) as it reminds him of one of his... "coworkers", but he does his best not to let that show. ]

I'm thinking inside, but what do you guys think?

Re: DISCUSSION

[1istheloneliest]

I'd say inside but why are you saying inside?

Re: DISCUSSION

[childeishly]

...based on personal experience. I think a person's drive, goals, dreams, hopes, and everything held deep inside of them are what motivate them and make them them. It's not that I don't think the 'outside' can influence that, but I think the inside is more important.

Re: DISCUSSION

[protectshisown]

Yeah, that seems the likely answer.

A lot of people who think they aren't human are usually pretty human.

Re: DISCUSSION

[childeishly]

[ nods. ] And I do think that the environment can help, but a lot of it comes from what's inside, real or not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purestdust]

[ he's checking out the robot ]

I suppose it should be looking outside.

Re: DISCUSSION

[1istheloneliest]

What makes you say that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[purestdust]

Because it has no idea nor concept of how to be a human. Becoming a human is what it's trying to achieve, correct? Then if it were to look inside, it would be left right at the same point where it started.

But if it were to look outside, live among humans and imitate them, perhaps, then it would learn more about humanity.

Re: DISCUSSION

[childeishly]

Oh? And why's that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purestdust]

It currently has no concepts of what a human is. As such, it would be more beneficial for it to find examples to learn from outside.

Re: DISCUSSION

[protectshisown]

I think that'd give them a complex.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purestdust]

Why would it? Learning from others is perfectly reasonable.

[ her shoulders tight, wings held close ]

This isn't what I was expecting.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purestdust]

Yes, I wasn't quite expecting this either. The laboratory setting is nice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluediligence]

You think so...? Ah! Because you like learning things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[1istheloneliest]

[pats her shoulder this is fine we're fine]

They like to keep things varied in some ways.

Re: DISCUSSION

[childeishly]

I can't say I had been thinking we'd be doing something like this either. [ dottore would fucken have a god damn field day with this. uuuugh. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[protectshisown]

...worried you're gonna hit things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[protectshisown]

[Ooooh, look at these fun things-]

Huh. [Weird construct.] Probably inside.

Re: DISCUSSION

[1istheloneliest]

Inside?

[and observing Rye]

Feeling in your element?
