Techi's aight. But if you want to talk to either of them at some point, let me know.

@Host

Will do. And I'm free for them to talk to if they want, too.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That's a cop out answer—what do you really feel?

@Host

It is how I really feel. I'd love any version of you that was actually you. By which I mean Techi is excluded. Stratus and Nimbus are you, so I love them automatically. It helps that they're very lovable by themselves too, but that's a trait you have in spades so it makes sense that they'd have it too.

*Motions the pizza stone toward you*
Hey, how long has it been since you visited Stratus and Nimbus? You're still into those two, right?

@Host

*Grabs a large plate for it*
It's been quite some time, but yes. I love every part of you, of course.

*Pokes my head out a few minutes later*
Hey, it's ready. Give me a hand, kay?

@Host

Will do.
*Walks in to help*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

All that said, I’ll try to avoid burning the place down again.
*Walks back to the kitchen*

@Host

Heh, thanks.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

True that. Not limited to humans either.

@Host

Right.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Laughs*
Many of those same humans would call me empty and fake.

@Host

Maybe, but we both know humans are idiots.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Which is a kinda depressing way of looking at it.

@Host

That's part of why I love you. You don't have any anymore. You're real, to borrow the way some humans think.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Mechanics are at least consistent. Mortals are far from it.

@Host

Heh, it's all programing in the end.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Your insect hives make much more sense to me. All of them collaborate, working together toward a common goal. Isn't that the best way to get anything done?

@Host

Even they are ruled by a single queen. They're also without individuality. Sure, working together works wonders, but there's always a leader of some kind. And when there isn't, those who believe themselves to be one work to destroy that unity. The Tower of Babel is a good example. The one with power was threatened by the unity of those without, so it broke that unity.

*Sighs happily* This sort of thing is what makes mortals so fascinating, and part of why I went down the path of biology more than mechanics.
