Upon first glance, who would take simple satire to be… prophetic? Edwin Abbott Abbott, you will endure.

And now, my pseudonym is that of a square, and - in the mindset of a God - I can perceive lesser dimensions and their abundant flaws, but these other dimensions dance away from my grasp; and, like the square, I will not truly know them until I ( Read more... )

Hey, are you alright?

You're acting funny.

Just fine, just fine...

You don't sound fine. You sound like the time one of the others experienced a virus.

Hey! Is this the phenomenon referred to as a narcotic hallucination, or in the more common vernacular, a 'trip'?

Correct in some ways, false in others - a trip of sorts, though to say hallucinations...

Not impossible.

It's still completely possible that this is all just an elaborate illusion, but that's not what I meant.

I'm fine, young master.

["Master" in the not old enough to be called "Mister" sense of the word.]

Mister Holmes that's very rude. I'm not male, you know.

Pardon me, young miss.

[But it's half-hearted in his current frenzy; merely a motion of curtesy he's going through.]

Wrong again! I'm not female either!

Sheesh, is the concept of an asexual species really that difficult to grasp? Why is everyone so limited.

[OKAY THEN I WILL.]

I mean, honestly, it's not as if I possess external genitalia at all, or evern clothing indicative of one gender or another! Or any at all, really.

And another thing, why do people always assume I'm male first thing off? I understand that my name is historically masculine but I was told my voice sounded like a young girl's now where's the logic in those assumptions, I'd like to know!

[Huff! DOUBLE HUFF!]

Come to think of it, how would you like to always be called using the pronouns of a gender-group you're not part of, huh?

[It sounds so bizarre; his mind hooks on the idea of tachikoma being a castrati, but then it describes itself as something completely and utterly bizarre. Therefore, he must witness it.]

... May I make your acquaintence in person?

[For science!]

Huh? [Argument derailed!]

Well, sure, I guess. I'm not doing anything important right now, anyway. Where would you like to meet?

hellofadrug February 10 2010, 04:39:31 UTC
Wherever is most convenient.

asdavsshjk sorry about that. tachikhromatic February 10 2010, 04:47:42 UTC
I know! Let's meet outside on the deck!

The nautical term is prow, isn't it?

[Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr] I'll go on ahead and wait for you. I know that stairs can take some time. Don't use the elevator!

no problemo; laissez-faire taggin', dude hellofadrug February 10 2010, 04:58:15 UTC
The ship is massive, but I will find my way soon enough - shan't keep you waiting too long.

[And off he goes, to an outside deck by the forward-most part of ship's bow to meet the tachikoma in person. He questions his politeness to what he percieves currently as a younger person of sorts, but cruelty won't get its co-operation, would it?]

[This should be interesting.]
