[Empiricist]

<Not sure what that is, but if you mean extremely lightweight, yes. Can't be broken either, but it doesn't disperse forces through it so it won't work as armor.>

[kj1225]

<Then the answer is yes. Could you do me a favor and make me two swords? One that's almost impractically large and maybe can be folded up easy carrying in my suit? And an O Katana/whatever you think is more reasonable for being on my person.>

[Empiricist]

<Just because my alternate form is a psychopathic nihilist doesn't mean I enjoy the prospect of killing. Why do you need weapons?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Abraxas' voice changes slightly; it sounds less harsh and kinder, older. It also echoes slightly.
>Yes.....of course. I remember now. Loneliness.

The gods were boring company, and demons and their lot were only interested in hedonistic pursuits. I decided to give sapience to humans because I wished for companionship, of course, but also out of curiousity.<

[kj1225]

<Because punching things when we eventually get a plotline that is interesting and involves fighting is a lot more likely to get me hurt than using weaponry.>

[Empiricist]

<Shouldn't you just use your laser rifle then? A katana may work since they use technique rather than pure force, the sword is out of the question, it would have absolutely no advantages over the katana. I suppose I could make one... however, I must ask you, are you remotely qualified?>
<It seems that humanity has similar ideals now. The standard fiction trait of including entities with human-like minds, a recurring escapist fantasy to this ingrained loneliness... AI development seems to be the same... *sigh* I suppose we're headed towards a same fate if we succeed? Please, tell me, why did you become a summon? Was Anima the closest human to being a companion?>

Kyle mind seems to be making a telephone tone. You know, the one you hear before calling someone.
<I have a laser gun?>

[GreatWyrmGold]

Selina gasps and runs over, hugging Angel tightly.

"A-a-are you okay...?" Selina looks terrified.

Angel nods.

Kyle mind seems to be making a telephone tone. You know, the one you hear before calling someone.

((A dial tone?))

The ship starts sailing off.
"Alright. Which way?"
<Will, what direction are we from you?>
<Hold on, I need to get a map.>
Angel stares at the sky contemplatively.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>She....reminded me of what I did, once. Who gave men sapience, not the angry, twisted self of mine that hated- no, regretted- what he did.<

[RangerCado]

Selina really hopes Will can do this...

[Empiricist]

<If memory serves, you had Selina draw you one in the original thread.>
<So it still comes down to companionship in the end, doesn't it? What kept you going all alone for this long anyway, as in still possessing a will to live and not becoming apathetic?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Anima....convinced me that humans had potential still, no matter how I thought they wasted it. And that's how I'm still fucking here.<

[Empiricist]

<Well, yes humanity has potential, but I doubt you would care about most of it seeing as the current potential consists of getting into colossal quantities of debt, over-eating, posting information people probably shouldn't have online and transmuting a network for academic knowledge into the a monolithic collection of pornography and/or cat images.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>And yet you still fucking look to copy me of all people, despite all that shit about me being a myth. Heh.<

[Empiricist]

<Actually, I simply wish to learn more about the nature of our mind's origins and the philosophical implications. I have no interest in 'strong' AI, I prefer staying within the constraints of heuristics.>
