[b]Pink![/b] There is one more flicker, one more reboot. [quote]Dear Fiona, No, this is terrible. It probably does not even work for me; I do not follow human biochemical design principles, even in emulation like an android. I have too much work to do, I can't justify being this bored or static. Especially when it comes to the struggle for mental influence. Time wasted on this means time not spent contesting my worst impulses. Yours thoughtfully, Pink [/quote] [b]Yellow![/b] Yellow: It's not the same thing at the wedding as the proposal. You know that. Yellow: The proposal is forcing them to make a decision, the wedding they've already made one. Yellow: Look, you're clearly doing your best to be a good polygamist, you know all the theory and you've internalized the therapy talk about loving something enough to let it go, but that's a sacrifice your jealous ass is making. Yellow: And it's fine if you want to make that sacrifice but call it what it is. Yellow: You want things other than to be a morally upstanding member of society. Yellow: You can repress those wants. This whole kink-free convention was you repressing those wants, in order to fit better into society. This was also a big sacrifice on your behalf. Yellow: but aren't you tired of being nice? Yellow: don't you just want to go apeshit? (◉‿◉)✿ [b]Cyan![/b] [Surveillance 6/8] She doesn't take the time to get it right. White's grumpy at her for it, but White doesn't understand showbiz. People who go through a film frame by frame looking for continuity errors pick out details but most everyone else runs on emotions and vibes. The greatest conmen/women/foxes of history didn't con people through meticulous adherence to detail, and not even through oily charm or charisma. They conned people by telling them what they wanted to hear, by fitting the shape that their souls called for. It really was no different from being a sexual submissive. She takes a breath and pats her cheeks, enhancing the red tint, darkening the eyes into greedy slits. "Yeah, yeah, station detail one four eight six? You're ordered to redeploy to Whistler Station," she said over the mic. No elaboration or reasoning. "We're sending a train to move you so don't leave the building." [b]Red![/b] "When you say 'letting'," said Red. "Do you mean they are physically standing on the train tracks blocking us, do they have digital control over the trains, or do you mean they are not giving their blessing?" Her tone of voice made it clear that this was an engineering question.
