222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3oQwTYbA8
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj0XdGEGaL
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8wXAqJxcb
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxidEIV8i4
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11QHQfruxT
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpr0AkCd4b
Echidna:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfwYwhelVD
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMJhVLmHk1
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBS2XZ1yOb
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAv7TfrIDu
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FVzLDOcur
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…?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlyCUCbksv
Death:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkhd08GFZC
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbx9QRPOy8
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUQFmR3sFL
…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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIrmowv16e
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3We07YpD2Y
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs90jAHDlW
Existential robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2p0wr8ES3
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcaqYhMONV
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFDlnAxmw
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ri2LTXpdh
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Vx77HWma
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvFmj7owGK
Small robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFQBUQ6dO
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Cf03BVMr
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO2BcSCAx9
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuA6AoAp6i
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkbYbr6rk
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYlEbUDo2
Sad robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZvcCEgSBN
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fUpIubpr
…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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKDeJg6mnq
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv3e9yn7Sj
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNvcy3Xa7N
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWb65saDBa
Mushroom:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqQXLIF4mf
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHDq3HTjED
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIDDe5LrrR
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMeWAb3sti
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1iXAZ463C
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNwVQU0K8
Fennec:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRKnqgZ9ZN
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88TVSVg2a0
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas5pjdLnxF
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyynLnw3c6c
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteQjfe3SvW
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVyibNnInL
Antelope:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxD9fu2UuV
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuJOsGehdA
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPs1ZhTo9S
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytueDEQVZ
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcIRVOuUv5
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKiCyviMwg
Orang:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkuPlV5gm
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvjJbB9Vrn
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQGaPXoIOm
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgdhGhkPNu
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiCXBQjpTx
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttfSPNvGWi
Dragon Blue:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK9SnRymWH
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZkm7dNRL
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFPSNsZKZB
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBfI4pkZs
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPKwpRCZp
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYKmuoVPtP
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN9PQDb7nM
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY8k7kqkwc
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEgtJEzzyj
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk9uCh2oZH
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYUEYdEYXK
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIpfJSco5Y
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMhkRP27Y
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK4WsUDSgl
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4lvLTJTN
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLXve6uExb
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqqFO6ay1S
Alien robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6dSriU9nq
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcwz8bAkiQ
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppmphmSIYY
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEjhvTZjLT
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbcA1mpFle
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HS3ljEemU
Shadow:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBUnET44h
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIdDGEZ9tA
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9B4nQmtJ
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nyAvBqPyV
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!
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMLJ7Fn5dH
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DJsYyDx4
Cat:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek0rMy4IZ4
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm59oyShvKY
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMKa0jyW4H
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6P1SfaIzX
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoKl3ONrWP
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9biwFqfj
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7CoXWkKS6
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOml0MrcZQm
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDZ4SXaico
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qhTr7XTc1
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i1eFqugzR
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!
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCtiaOI7s
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!
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB0asSLArM
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!
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TmKUYEBL
Evil mage:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFVLDIsfN3
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvW5xDTMRh
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPGrIDfscz
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8UKCEbsnQ
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXmaDK8Ol3
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggECfVvpnq
Honest robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXf9NI704M
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6vOoV7HF
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdBWzgv3uV
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxEGpwma3l
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyundraIDdp
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZl56TWEf5
Monster plant:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgPb4uhiXT
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOKlPNYOsT
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd881dE73fT
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkL3ZLx569
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZLAlt1fAt
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzihKEpwVx
Ninja:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAjquvStld
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU2YrtJigD
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2EH0fsPG
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ya3uyNAJU
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UVFMtWHDX
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?!
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhhFXkkEDU
Blue robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgc4U3jS9
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qucxWBZ5U
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4unjYpLHB
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQtM6K8nA0
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WQkucJgO
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iYGnlkvU3
Turquoise robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDrZqMSY8r
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtxNvcOPR
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZL8tKezMf
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60UPV7pX7K
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6RoP2Pf0
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDy8bFNk40
Purple robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCC80lDxVg
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwkFLZBLtq
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4BoRg6May
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.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTAeDGxWPM
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRL1wSly1y
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?
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx0tXx7rC4
Grey robot:
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDo3XyjDLn
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…
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPJT4U45S
Jabber? I guess… can I just admit something to you? Not, exactly, something I usually tell everyone, and yet it has kind of been bothering me, despite supposedly…
