[hexensabbat]

Yeah, okay, big guy. [whatever u say.] Consider it done for my own peace of mind, then.

Anyway, you know you're matched with someone here, right? That's how the game works. So it's an even chance with sending anyone else in terms of what we gain from it.

[anathemaw]

Aye. Yet only a fool would send two without thought.

[hexensabbat]

Well. Can't deny that.

Any thoughts that might help us out? Doesn't have to be about you, for the record.

[anathemaw]

[ he's quiet for a moment, thinking. The snake at his shoulder lifts its head, apparently scanning the room.

Well... ]

Maya and Verso were quite passionate the night before. As wert thou and Shoko. [ a pause. ] Though she and thee spent long minutes with much of the room.

[hexensabbat]

[messmer: slut]

Yeah, getting to know everyone. I do like Shoko, though. She's fun to be around.

But Maya and Verso, huh? I missed that one! Hmm, I could see them getting along well.

Nice one!

[anathemaw]

[ hmmmmmmmmm... ]

Lightless one. I would ask thee a question harbored these past days.

[hexensabbat]

[And, casually, of course:]

Sure, what's up?

[anathemaw]

Be thee truly a babe of two months?

[ YOU SHOULDN'T BE KISSING ALL THOSE PEOPLE ANIME BABY!!! ]

[hexensabbat]

Oh, that.

[She laughs at that, amused.]

Well, this body is two months old... and I guess so is the personality Ringo. Before that, I was part of an amalgamation of data that built up the AI Aion.

So... sort of? But not really. Not in the same way a human would be.

[anathemaw]

[ wow. he doesn't know most of these words...

but, miraculously, he thinks he grasps the concept. She's a soul in a fake body - or, rather, a piece of a soul. It's not entirely unheard of; it's just usually reserved for divinity. ]

Thou lackest memories from thy time as Aion, then.

[hexensabbat]

[He's doing such a good job.]

Yeah, more or less! They're pretty intangible to me.

[They're not her memories, anyway--not Ringo's memories.]

So I wouldn't really consider myself a baby or anything, but I'm learning a lot as I go.

[anathemaw]

[ this is interesting. His closest friend is an artificial man - one whom most would consider an impure creature shunned by the Erdtree's light. Ringo is clearly no albinauric, but the similarities are undeniable. ]

Thy manner is indistinguishable from a mortal's. None could suspect otherwise, save for thy profile.

[ meaning "man" as in "human," in this case, of course... sorry, Ringo. ]

Wert Aion of flesh born?

[hexensabbat]

Aw, thanks! I'm glad to hear it! Being human's a lot of fun, after all, so I'm glad I come across that way.

[She's happy to be an AI, too, but being human-like is not at all an insult.]

But yeah, pretty much. Aion created both this body and the personality I've got. So I guess in a sense, they're my parent, but I wouldn't really put it that way.

[anathemaw]

[ he nods once, understanding her, despite everything?! This is a miracle of communication in a sea of Messmer constantly misunderstanding and being misunderstood. ]

They did not raise thee.

[hexensabbat]

[They're vibing??? Wild. Proud of them though.]

Nope. [He's got it right.] Really can't say I'd know what "being raised" felt like. But! I turned out just fine, I think!
