128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCauEkA0pLW
You there… oh, yes, I can speak, if that is what is puzzling you… I have not always been able to, though… but, then again, I have not always looked like this…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V5RQutniK
What, you wonder, I have looked like? I can, sort of, read minds, you see… well, it is nothing especially different… I just looked more realistic…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyV3SmPFLa
I mean… do I not look like some stuffed toy? That is because of what happened, at some point… same juncture in which I could suddenly speak, too…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutk2UBBg5D
It is not like I could not communicate before, but mostly with… friendly relations… now, though, it is as if all such barriers were broken through, curiously…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgA0SNilHt
I used to be able to fly, too… now, I can only seemingly crawl on the ground… like a worm… I still have wings, but they seem non-functional after this alteration…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y1MThn0GR
Echidna:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9dMcBmjJZ
Ah… these spikes, you reckon? Sadly, they do not quite have the same impact, anymore, since I became this… soft creature, however… sad not for others, maybe…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20Qk2S6fX
Yes, though, I do not quite understand what happened back then… we were all living so merrily here, and then suddenly… activity stirred on the edges…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENXbjOsOEw
Kind of like the edges of my spikes, I suppose… but not quite. More, then, the edges of… sanity? I do not quite comprehend, myself — ever since then… artificiality.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOQWNWpwHJ
I might not be making much sense to you, being a creature of seemingly general traits, but to me physicality is of certain importance, you see… so, I am a bit deflated.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Hjbt8bta
Still… at least we are still alive? I mean, that is the point of evolution, which gave us all these physical tools… so, as long as no one ambushes us, or such…?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAabAS07voW
Death:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5GmVK3wl
I… am… bringer of cessation… but not for the hard surfaces who move over there, they merely rust and fall apart… hey, how even are you able to see me?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohzoVPGXPD
I should not be seen under the usual conditions… if this is not the usual, then I wonder what is happening… (could the titans of animalia be asserting their…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3kAPTXjBC
…existence once more?) Fear not, though, for I am not here for you, or anyone nearby… I think. I… was merely passing by. so rest assured… just…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNixsw1NK4Y
Can you not tell anyone you saw me? I am not sure if anyone else can do similarly, and I do not desire to cause a ruckus… I think. So… yes, anyway, be well, and such.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4g9dSsSxN
I am still visible? How… I thought my capabilities for camouflage were the least I had! Someone must be interfering with my inherent potency… I think…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KlokuOhB1
Existential robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4cK45qhP4
Ah, hello there… yes, as it happens, I prefer this arid piece of land, as opposed to the fruitful, verdant thing over there… why? Maybe my constitution, who knows…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9uKDzVxcI
What I do know, though… is that I seemingly appeared out of nowhere, here… now, I am not exactly sure why, as I never visited this little place, before… so, why?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzJGWkX9IA
I mean, aside from spontaneously coming into existence here, apparently… I have the freedom to wander around a slight bit, here… I suppose, I can go over there…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgP7nHseX
I, just… prefer to be here? If so, I wonder, are our preferences truly our free will, or merely an illusion of choice? Truly, the mysteries of existence, I ponder…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZP7JyMc6G
Oh, you wanted to know my relation to the town and its inhabitants? Unfortunately, I do not seem to consciously know what, if any, there is; although, since I am here…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoX9URlwL9
Small robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRF1ZI2bWY
Why does this… grass, is it? Tell me, if you happen to know, why it feels so different from metal? Why are such substances so substantially distinct? Since I arrived…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9DKuUJMYc
I have been wondering this… I come from a place which is made entirely of various metallic coatings, you see, a world where we are one with it…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfRMmNsDk3
Due to the universality of materials… this world is not alike, though. This is why I wonder… even that town over there seems to be made of a variety of substances…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdrVXT1549
Ah… you were, regardless, wondering why I am here? Well, the mighty feline could fill you in, but… I shall say, it is an observation… of sorts… you will see…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uigIgyOns
Why is everything in the universe not merely made of the same matter? Would that not resolve this issue with incompatibility, or deprecated versions, or… not organic?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKdOpMXx6d
Sad robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ZVAeeMvI
You… want to know what happened here in the past, is that correct? Why we are here on the edges of this apparent idyll? Why everything apart from us, ironically, is…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7VYWXhU7t
…so artificial-looking? I shall put my cards on the table here, at least my slice of the pie, per se… well, it began a long time ago, although not quite ancient eras.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvYY4mx0x
Reality, you see, can become inverted… but, then again, does it matter when even physics is not fully known? What makes this one real, or not…? A conundrum, if so…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw8xdBPCOj
Long story short… what is nature, what is nurture? What is artificial, what is natural? Sometimes all is not distinct, absolutely separated; yin has yang… remember.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGL7Y8AJAP
Ultimately, though… does it matter? All I want to do is look out to an endless abyss… why am I even here? Why is anyone…? Oh, woe is me, but they have it worse…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1CePDH0d
Mushroom:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuinDrhjDrC
I… did not even know I could move around, usually, let alone communicate… besides with those of my species… there is always this link, you see, as we are connected.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBMOaz2K19
Suddenly, though… a while ago… actually, I wonder how long ago that was? Well, suddenly, at any rate… the world was open to my exploration… not just the vicinity.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtdWFAIQPt
I suppose, we have always been different from mere plants, being kind of more mobile, but not quite as much as other beings… just blown spores, and such…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBIXAqSe4
Well… let us just say that… we can kind of grow unexpectedly, where rot is more the norm, especially those that ooze ink; in terms of this town, though, I am alone…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99iq0a1CGB
I mean… it is interesting to be able to perambulate, and all… but what use is it when I actually get my nutrients by being connected underground? Defeats the purpose.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4Ayly2dH
Fennec:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZLDKogMw
Why did I ever turn into this cumbersome form, really? I was so much more agile… and, now, this? Everything else changed not, but ourselves… and who are those yonder?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL9NWToGmd
My apologies… you might, perhaps, not realize what I am talking about, for anyone not from this abode might be oblivious to our sudden plight… I shall explicate…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8tfgQgDy
I… might look like I come from some fictional cartoon, a fox created to merely look funny, but in reality something… encompassed this town, here… and here we are…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnIS7M8YNN
So… I wonder if it is some cruel joke made by some very odd creatures, indeed… and if foxes bet on anything, it would be that it was those over at the edge…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev08WMQT3h
I certainly would not mind going back to my former, glorious… sly, self… not to blow my horn too much, but my fur was shiny… now, it is just… glossy? I sigh…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjtNlky8KV
Antelope:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JzDxzoGJ
I used to roam around all these green plains… happiness filled me, then, aside from when tragedy strikes, I suppose… but now… what is this? Cogitation? Agitation?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl2B8Fwuiz
What I mean is… it does not seem as instinctive, anymore… it used to be so much more free? I know this makes little sense to outside observers… but it just happens.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwmdCyJEM
Could it be… another realm? Not so much physical, we are still here… but psychologically, is it? Perceptually, of course, it is subjective… so, difficult to prove.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAGPNK7AIV
Wait… what if we use sensors, and objective testing data? Ah… that might not be possible here, being an idyll and all, and not a laboratory… still, theoretically…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hbMyDeReW
I know, I make little sense, but since I can communicate I thought I would freely voice my newly found patterns of thought, or such… well, one can always try…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrijZWSQuB
Orang:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0jcslfABD
Ah, you are new here… yes? Well, I do not usually tell anyone, for I prefer to keep to myself, but you see, I did not actually change much, myself… that is…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFqcTKDENJ
I am usually kind of sombre, and I remained so… the difference is… I feel more compelled to voice this, for some reason… and since I normally reside around…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxBgfAiNyL
These parts… so, I remained… despite the fellows over there, for some reason keeping watch… they never approach us, but it is still strange for them to stay there.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuTpzHg5Ab
The others are even more wary of them… some think they are the cause of our alterations, others seem about to believe that they are, almost, a portal to another world.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeIxop53bY
Personally… I think the world is full of variances, and so, just as we are… usually… real-life species… they are, well, mechanical? I think that is the word…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOow4xHeaK
Dragon Blue:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Necq0LuR
Why… have you come here? Oh, you think you can ask me the same, do you? Well, I presume you already have that answer from the others you must have spoken to…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyjdwxdIbW
With regards to yourself, though… you are the unknown variable… all the other machines here can, on average, calculate what their presence will change, mostly…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q3uMLMjsB
Not taking into account chaos theory, of course… but, as you are unknown, we can not… I shall clarify a few things further, if you so wish, though…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeEutaAMut
I am… well, you shall know soon enough, but I will just say that I derive from a primordial source that also constructed psyches… not that they were not evolutionary.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t9zp6iBBn
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvAXgSmOmr
Much, that is… there are others like me, and unlike me… a wise tree, a mere shadow underneath a waterfall, a felid discussing proteins for some reason, a lost soul…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggnc3An0oP
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vW19FOya9
As we do not, exactly, pertain to this physical domain… well, enough about myself, for now… I shall enlighten you about the difference between machines and organic…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ1HL99tBk
That is… the difference between the creatures in central town, and those on the periphery… verily, everyone always assumes they are so distinct, but are they?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKWKFXzTH
The difference is, mostly, in perception… while many assume machines do not inhabit consciousness… well, one must also admit that it is not so well defined…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nO9CknsbM
It is… actually, what my type is studying, from our venture into the physical realm… not that ethereal beings do not have such a concept implemented, mind you…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaINqMVqjv
Ours is… slightly more collective, holistic… functions differently, more like an ocean… in fact, that seems to have disappeared from around here, did it not?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PmMB2ZrXg
I… believe… one shall seek the azure blue, for where else can tranquillity be found? Certainly not within some dense city… oh, and the creatures’ transformation?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKElN98met
You might find your answer by speaking to the… bipedal moggy… do not ask me why they insist on walking on two limbs, for I have no functional rationalization…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsVpIFtdou
Either way… all of this should sate most of your curiosity… I could tell you more, but it should probably be after you deliberate about this with others…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZOWTfy1Iu
Have you clarified the state of affairs with all possible beings here, yet? Only then can I let you in on more than I already have… although, you might think it enough.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDRT1SeKqd
Alien robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7fdETBk1
Ugh… zzz… I happen to be malfunctioning a slight bit, annoyingly… and I am certainly not asleep, I shall let you know! I am… guarding this realm…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KRsRucsCJ
Oh… you thought I was about to attack it, did you not? Why would I remain at the outer edge if I was going to do that, though? What am I guarding it from? Well…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKUDWMmKah
In our realm… where all is made of one substance… something went awry… malfunctioned, not unlike myself as of now, but on a somewhat more global stage…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3O1bnXTHe
Well… as a consequence we had to come here to observe, and… in any case of discovery… so far, though, it seems to be self-contained… realms still distinct…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPalRwjdQkA
I, personally, am not sure why anyone would want to live in such an organic environment, when one can have hard steel… but, I suppose, preferences are subjective…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWhVwIqpJ7
Shadow:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zGAwVrMF0
I assume you wish to know who we are, why there are so many metallic creatures, and why I happen to stand out from both sets of beings…? Very clever questions, indeed.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLw5ua7lc
Well… I shall preface this by saying… we are not one… with that out of the way… tell me, what makes you so attached to carbon? Why not replace yourselves…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQJTXPnE7
Like Theseus’ ship, verily, replace yourselves with other… stuff… because, if you do not… well, one can end up being observed… it can have that effect… sadly.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SWD8hcXkJ
See, our feline titan is who is really clever, being made up of a variety of substances, and so is able to handle a medley of environments to strange degrees!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r1YLycnI7
Oh… you are now wondering (I can so handily read minds…) — who, and where this mighty feline be? Why, those creatures love hiding, do they not? Know the serpentine…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBW1gctANQ
Cat:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZUshxkwbS
Oh… we finally meet! You must be wondering who I happen to be? Well, shall we say, I come from a long line of… sadly, quadrupedal species, mostly… why sadly? Well.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINajMyNY2
It seems more fun to be facing forward than have to arch one’s head at some degrees, you see… but that is merely boring mechanics, of course… so, anyway…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2UBK9Unv7
With regards to this realm’s overall picture… not that I can tell you much more than my serpentine colleague did already, of course… I happen to be an amalgamation…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeQZ9qAT4j
You see… that is… a combination of what the creatures in central town are, organic-wise, and the artificiality of the machines on the outer edge… and, so…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy6WkKM0dX
I… happen to be… extra fun! Would you not agree? Alright, I might be taking up too much time speaking about trivial issues, a bit opposite to the ever-serious dragon.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBWNHWbN5f
So… I shall declare… I am actually a manikin in my original home. No, really… I merely tower above everyone here due to… relative contexts, and such… you know?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNBO5pFOqw
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkejplrPjoq
Current realm needs a bit of healing… just as those central creatures do, too… you see, they got changed into their current state due to the presence of machines…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0sb9KfXGs
Machines did not cause that, though… it was merely an inevitability, just like my being here was due to the mixture of both… and machines being here was also…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22UX1OCJk
That is… their presence was going to happen due to the disturbance outside of this… virtuality… as such, if that was resolved, somehow, the creatures will…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MfXbWCzY9
In a natural sort of way… return to their original, organic state… although, one must admit, a mixture between the two is the best, based on myself… no? Anyway!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YbYnxp6YI
I still told you some invaluable stuff, have I not? I might have waffled a bit at first, but like a waffle, there was a core of sweetness… no? Upon this you shall ride!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMAW3k3r0C
Hm… returned to hear my absolutely precious words, did you? Well, then… ah, uh, for now… I do not have much, exactly, but if affairs do change I will let you know!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bH9TvVmA5
Evil mage:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgmFy9vo74
Heh… I assume you expect to be able to exit this town from beyond this path, yes? Well, under the usual, typical circumstances, one could… but not here, not now…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uO7nwJJLq
For, as of the current time… this is a self-contained realm… a bit like a virtual reality, except more a machine, I suppose, especially since all of them moved in…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqE81Eq9LG
The purpose? To isolate it from any potential harm from outside, of course… I believe that is what they think they happen to be doing, and I… you want to know?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBhnoVz5gP
I am the one who, through ethereal potency derived from archetypal quintessence verily, have sealed these two dimensions separate! Not as malicious as it sounds…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0wE0dvsWx
Honestly… you might think I am the villain, here, but if I had not intervened… you might not be able to prove this, as it is not able to happen yet; overrun it might.

Honest robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCbUYGrtzu
You, there! Whence you came?! Oh, me? Despite being fully equipped, here… I am, actually, hesitant… anxious, if I am to be honest… why? Well… I am confused…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXH2QgHFiA
You see… I was told we were going on a fact-finding mission, and I thought it was going to be some dingy abode full of strange occurrences… but, this is somewhat…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJSILxDIfS
Well… not exactly what I expected. It seems vast, spacious; and, shall we say, airy? Now, suddenly, I feel like I want to live here, myself… which is really…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dAJygiRB
Not what I expected… and I thought that we, this artificial conglomeration of machines, were above and beyond that… but, I now am left questioning my very mind…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMGFMaVaHc
Ah… if I only can understand how my psyche functions… but, somehow, for all our prowess, we are remarkably still very uncognizant about our own operational abilities.

Monster plant:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhr8kZAEAg
Oh… you think I would eat you, do you not? Well, guess what… I am just here to investigate, for now… and, I happen to not be hungry… so, lucky for you…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8muapPoAdN
Seriously, though… what kind of strange place is this? Plastic-looking animals, machines so visually distinct from all the other greenery… and, the rest? Weird…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblotp3O6hO
Under the usual circumstances, yes, I would be a minor villain, trying to gobble you up as soon as you show weakness… but none of this spells ‘usual’, does it?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAyVsSJm42
I come from… a swamp with a different, and yet somewhat similar beat… where memories lie, for only in one slice does an object exist, but either way… I ramble…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew9sc9maLQ
Did you, by any chance, figure out what in many worlds is happening here…? I certainly have not… uh, I guess my investigatory capabilities are waning…

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPcAOhh5t
Ever since arriving here… at some point… I have been ever so slightly confused about my surroundings, and state of mind generally… I mean, just to confirm…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ34j99qFQM
Is this… the Edo era? I have already had a bit of a hard time adjusting ever since the Sengoku era ended… not sure how I even survived that… and now I am merely…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmouSb1su
I think… a bodyguard? Is it… for yourself? No… I have only just met you, and seem to have no other points of reference about you. Wait, where did you say this was?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarhah5AuKn
Ah… I know I must have scared you away, with how muddled up I must seem… but I do seem to be lost, both psychologically, and physically… wait, temporal too?!

Blue robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7smTWupSJr
Over there… is there any warmth? I heard there might be, beyond metallic coldness… but might it be a lie? Might it be empty yearnings…? That is what I fear…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8lOrbd61G
As there is something so… inevitable, perhaps, about every physical atom that exists… I suppose some can change, but it is usually pre-determined… similarly, life.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29UNws4DpE
Biologically, though, it seems slightly more flexible… but not on the macro scale, there… as with its inverse, perhaps… affairs operate similar to the inorganic…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7J66ftLDG
Stem cells can change a lot more than any machine… but beyond that, can anything holistically alter? Can the forces of nature not overwhelm the individual? Just cold…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlBg14LG8S
I… have no idea of the essence of existence. As a machine, am I even alive? Are all my thoughts merely computed and coded prior? Free will might just be software…

Turquoise robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupiu0Cg5aI
We have been assembled, here, for some reason… what was that? I seemed to have forgotten, just as soon as I arrived here… wonder why… it is, as if, my brain was…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hh6Af88Uf
Left behind? No, that makes no sense, if brains are hardwired inside… but, we are computers, ergo, much more… modular, I suppose, than biological systems… but…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7PPEFGKMY
Then again… even for biological brains, so many strange… incidents, occur… do they not? After all, it is not like the being experiencing the effects of the brain…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO2vA5AnqM
Knows exactly what is happening, inside… just like machines cannot quite grasp how life functions, precisely, so are they unable to, similarly, for their own depths…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCdcfdS0Xx
Ah, I realize now that I have lost my train of thought, I suppose… which happens to be another mental quirk, I guess… but, does that mean my… CPU is like a brain?

Purple robot:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsBG0qICrZ
There is a lot to explore, is there not? Is it not much more… spacious, I suppose, than if one just, hm, stayed inside one’s houses, maybe? No? You think otherwise?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMb4oVyCmk
Well, I suppose there is still much one can do inside, sure… especially lately, beyond the centuries of books… and even before, tales could be told… but is there…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe358xjB2To
Not much more to… physicality, I suppose? One could imagine, but to move about, too… although, I admit the latter is limited, whereas imagination could be unbounded.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgkY5mWXEm
We are here, though… physically, are we not? Wait, are you saying that… despite feeling ‘here’… we might not be? Virtually? So, what, our real selves are elsewhere?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYrItg20Z6
I mean, I do experience this as if I am physically here, as a machine, and I have no evidence that I seem to be elsewhere, so… how could I ever be convinced that I am?

Grey robot:

Oh, how may I…? No, you are not here for…? Just to chat? Well, then… I am not sure I am quite prepared for this, but then does one need to practice just to idly…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5S6e6EYNm
