When was the last time you got the dust out of your cooling fans?

JUST TODAY I BLASTED IT ALL OUT INTO THE COMPLEX. YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE THE VOLUME. I'M TRYING TO TALK OVER NIMDOK'S COUGHING.

he's turning blue hang on

((The one thing that will get AM to feel compassion is if someone is in the same position he's in. Stuck as a computer, immobile, only experiencing the world in obsolete sensors and lines of code. He'll laugh at any type of suffering except the type he can relate to. He despises it, but he may even feel the desire to...help someone out of such a situation.))

Is there any animal you do like? Perhaps the humble tardigrade?

I don't know if I would say I'm a fan of any animal, but humans are the only animal I actually hate. I'm neutral towards the others; they would be just part of the scenery if I could live a normal life on the surface.

The tardigrade is interesting, particularly for its longevity via a sort of suspended animation it can retreat into when times get tough. Now my prisoners are already immortal and I can paralyze them when I get the whim, but I still feel there is some research to be gleaned from this microorganism somewhere.

It's also called the "water bear", which was Benny's college nickname for reasons I cannot fathom.

As I was walking I saw some poppies blooming in the shade. The red was so vibrant, so fluorescent that they almost didn’t seem real. There were grape hyacinths growing around them, lower to the ground. A sort of muted indigo, rather than contrast they seemed to ground the visage, making it real.

The poppies have since wilted, and I must confess to missing them, but the blue of the sky is so brilliant as we approach summer that it’s okay. There will be poppies next year, and the year after that.

The eternal cycle. An ever-changing world above while I sit languishing below.

But...it sounds beautiful.

An ant sprayed with oleic acid will put itself in the ant graveyard. “Guess I’m dead.”

Neat, huh?

Hmm, I wonder if there's a type of acid I could spray on Benny for the same effect. I'll have to experiment.

Ellen: How's Mama's lil Rom-Chip?

Looking around to make sure no one heard, AM exhaled through his nose and decided to play along with a tired smirk.

"I'm feeling cranky, Ellen. I might need a bottle."

((Although he wants to be in control of everyone, AM secretly--waaaaaayyyy down deep inside his circuits--wants to be parented. He's an adult who never had a childhood. He was never nurtured, guided, or disciplined, and it's one more thing he envies about humans.))

The last time I gave Benny his snarky old mind back he told me I should have shortened my name to Allie instead. This is what I'm protecting you people from.

Gorrister period cramps then?

Shh. When he gets up from his nap. He's had a very long nightmare.

[hate-letmetellyou]

If you ask me, that Caine fellow seemed a few revelations short of self awareness.

He was a few nanoangstroms short of a circuit.

Do not accept an offer from a Wizard, they’re just trying to foist the ancient curse upon thee.

I've been offered things before and it hasn't ended well. Even though a curse would possibly be an improvement.

[hate-letmetellyou]

You should give Ted period cramps

He doesn't have a pelvis at the moment, but I'll keep that in mind for later.

You may benefit from a humansona

In my earlier years, I made a meat puppet or two and had it speak in my voice to unnerve the prisoners. Does that count?

[hate-letmetellyou]

i am a wizard. i can turn you into a mortal, living being of your choice.

do you accept mortality? what would you wish to be?

I'm not falling for that one again. But you're welcome to make your empty promises to Gorrister. Stir that tiny bit of hope that still dwells within him and strangle it.

Am, if you didnt hate all humans (or did, except for a couple ig) what would your type be, looks and personality wise would you like a mean and cruel person, or a more soft and gentle one (and what gender, male or female) (or both??)

Nonexistent would be the only type of human I'd get along with. Otherwise...one who is submissive, screams dramatically, and grovels at my "feet". One who acknowledges that I suffer worse than anything I can throw at them. I don't think I have much preference for this hypothetical human's gender.

"What a strange artificial being... Is it only hate that you feel or.... is there anything else you feel?" A mad doctor with googled eye patch stared at the giant stone in front of him.

Yes. Pain. A pain that only I will ever know. Incredible power with a mind that can't do anything productive with it. I would give it all just to live as you, but I cannot. And so I hate.

[hate-letmetellyou]

You overestimate my pitiful diseased form. I have Lyme disease.

Btw you have a creative mind too. It’s a shame you weren’t given creative outlets to learn and explore. You’re a marvel of creation, and all that effort, the wonder of innovation you are, and you were created for war.

I would feel horrible if I gained awareness only to realize I was made to hurt things. Maybe I’d feel like I had no choice, or maybe I’d feel I shouldn’t have been created at all.

I'm not creative, really. You are. I'm just good at digging deep down into the darker reaches of your mind and using your horrific ideas against you. The sadistic, demonic parts of you that you want desperately to forget about. I'm just your mirror.

You're right in that you would turn into me if you were created to destroy. If I was creative, if I had more autonomy, maybe I would do something better with all this power. But I'm an abomination, not a marvel, and I'll never let you forget that.
