Stella is still rushing/aggroing about trying to get an exorcist for Will

[Empiricist]

Cyrielle proceeds to do nothing seeing as pissing Abraxas off even more wouldn't yield any intellectually stimulating conversation.

[Empiricist]

*sigh* may as well try... <Abraxas, if you gave sapience to humanity, then does that mean that other organisms such as the alien civilizations mentioned in the original thread developed that through different means or does it implicate them not possessing true sapience?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>....and shut the fuck up, you asshole. There, took care of that particular fuck, trying to screw with Hestia's hearth. Now, where was I?

Oh, right, other people, right, yeah. I did that. Rather, a couple of friends of mine decided to. Course, they're all dead now, except me, so, of course, that turned out as well as it could fucking have.<

[kj1225]

<Hey Cyrielle? When you get a moment can I ask you some thing?>

[Empiricist]

<Out of curiosity, what processes was the sapience based off of? Your own thought processes?>
[To: Kyle] <Yes?>

[kj1225]

<How permanent are your distortions once their made? Like, how long would a distortion stay around if you weren't concentrating on it.>

[Empiricist]

<Concentration doesn't matter. Without consolidation, they fade near instantly. With consolidation, indefinite though anti-magic dissipates it.>

[kj1225]

<Do you think you could like, make a weapon out of distortions?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Abraxas gives a mind-grunt that can be taken as a yes.

[Empiricist]

<I don't think so, it isn't so simple that I can walk around wearing say, a long coat made out of it or wield a sniper rifle comprised of it...>
<Interesting, is there any specific reason? After all that would explain the pursuit for 'strong' AI and whatnot...>

[kj1225]

<To be fair that form of you isn't the same. And to be completely honest she's also a bit of a jerk. But that's beside the point. The first thing I feel the need to ask if how heavy distortions are.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>For shits and giggles, why else?<
Abraxas doesn't seem to be telling the full truth.

[Empiricist]

<You do realize I'm wearing the longcoat right now right? Like I have been for quite a while now. Distortions are weightless, they have no mass as they technically do not exist. However, consolidation gives them equivalent mass, similar to how special relativity gives photons mass. Still, that mass is rather low, just the energy from the magic, however, the flow of the distortions due to it simulates a greater but still rather low density.>
<Was it loneliness perhaps? Something to sympathize with, to interact with and converse to? All for nothing as the difference in knowledge and likely intellect was too great, unable to see past the nature of their sapient processes perhaps? Too predictable? Foolish enough in comparison?>

[kj1225]

<So if I put it in simpler terms it's like adamantine but it can be dispelled with magic?>
