No place like the place you've never left [Open]

Jun 11, 2010 16:44

For an AI who had never been able to choose where he went before, the Sensoriums were mildly addicting, and Adrastos was finally getting used to being able to touch things, both feeling them and having the things in them react to him ( Read more... )

"Well, this is... creepy." Evander says, glancing around the offices. He's not used to seeing them empty, which is mostly why it's a little bit disturbing.

[ooc: sorry, I would have posted to this earlier if my wireless hadn't decided that it hated me and refused to work. :|]

"It is?" Adrastos looked around as well, but he didn't see what was unsettling Evander. "Why?"

[[ooc: Not-working internet sucks. :/ You have it back now, though?]]

"I guess I just don't know why you'd want to come back here." Evander said after a brief pause, riffling through one of the stack of papers on a nearby desk. They were either blank or covered in dummy text, but it didn't really matter what they said; the ability to actually touch things, even if it was only a simulation, was far more interesting than the papers themselves.

[ooc: Yep, I do. It was just being finicky.]

Truthfully, Adrastos just hadn't been able to think of anywhere else, and he'd been uncertain about creating their old home after what the girl he'd met had said about the Sensoriums not being able to accurately replicate their families. "I wanted to recreate it here. It is different, being able to influence it." He meant touch things or move them, but he still thought of it as influencing his surroundings.

[[ooc: Awesome. :) And why did I think of "Lorem ipsum" when I read "dummy text"?]]

"Yeah, it's different, but... I don't know, it just doesn't feel right somehow." It bothers Evander that he can't pin down his uneasiness about the simulation any better than that, but it could just be an effect of being able to interact with solid things.

[ooc: I wanted to put "Lorem ipsum"! xD]

Adrastos looked around, trying to figure out what Evander noticed that he didn't. "It is quiet. I did not ask the ship to recreate any of the agents or technicians."

[[ooc: XD Apparently I'm just psychicve just been on LJ way too long.]]

"That's probably part of it." Evander agrees, tapping the space bar of one of the desktop computers.

"And they still run frickin' Vista. Unbelievable." If Evander had any doubts that the simulation was as accurate as possible, they were laid to rest by the computer's start-up chime; in his mind, there was no reason to actually keep that operating system unless you were trying to keep everything as close to reality as possible.

[ooc: sorry for the tag delay today. Calculus is killing me... orz]

"The simulation shows they do. The computers themselves no longer exist." Adrastos frowned, unsettled by the reminder. Their father no longer existed either, unless he was in one of the pods. Nor did their brothers or the agents. He had mostly avoided thinking about it before.

[[ooc: No worries, I had to run for a while anyway.]]
