<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The kind of mistakes you make when you’re innocent, and don’t really understand social implications… Example: early on, I was talking to a lady I met in a bar. Was there because I had made friends with the bartender, but she told me she really liked the guy she went there with but wasn’t super sure if she should say anything, and that she “found it hard to be honest with him.” So I said “Oh, it won’t be hard for me” and turned without hesitation to him the moment he came back and told him how she felt for her. She ran out out of embarassment, and I had no clue why at the time.

@Revolutionary

Oh, the things you feel guilty about now. But hey, at least it makes for a great story now.

Well, if we have any normal, non-powered humans with us... without the project, their expected survival rate is 1% with a control group of 100.

@souleaterfan320

That high? This is going to be easier than I thought.

There will bea high risk of Loss of Life. This is quite litterally a war we're fighting. People die in those.

@souleaterfan320

Quantify it for me. That’s too nebulous for my taste.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A lot of meandering about the IA, hanging around places, meeting people, making connections. Making mistakes.

@Revolutionary

Mistakes? What kinds of mistakes are there to make like that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It was. At least it had to have been for it to make sense to me.

@Revolutionary

So what was that wandering journey like? I’m impressed you’ve made it this far.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It’s a bit more complicated than just having lost it. But remembering things now, that happened to me before I started that journey I mentioned, is very difficult. Super hit-or-miss with a lot of miss.

@Revolutionary

Oh, so this is all after that moment. Got it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What do you mean?

@Revolutionary

Did you go back to the way you were before? Someone said you lost your memory at some point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The hard way. I left for a long time, and went alone, into the world with the minute sliver of personality I was given, and just learned it from the people I found myself around over several years. Very slowly. I was not quick on the uptake.
*Looks up and chuckles*
How awkward I was, in retrospect.

@Revolutionary

Did that reset when you lost your memory?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Laughs*
I’ll emphasize, I was not always that way. I had to try really hard. So it’s nice to hear someone say it straight.

@Revolutionary

However you learned it, you got the philosophy part down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I would say so. I didn’t start with one, really. But I became who I am through choices and experience. How much different I would be if I just knew the answers to everything, I could only imagine.

@Revolutionary

*Smiles*
You do sound human.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

To make me more human.

@Revolutionary

Would it have an impact on your personality?
