(It's an abrupt decision to voice the question that has been plaguing their thoughts over the stones.)

How is synthetic life treated in your universe of origin?

Comments

[forwearemany]

Yes.

[counterblows]

All right, that's new. Jesus. What is it, like...it has actual games on it and everything?

[forwearemany]

Games are in separate "cartridges". We are in possession of four.

Do you wish to play with us?

(You can practically hear the headtilt in their voice.)

(Technically they don't really have multiplayer but they could always take turns.)

[counterblows]

Uh, do you...is multiplayer an option?

[He didn't genuinely expect that to be possible, but - then again, he never asked. Legion likes games. They're a gamer.]

[It's such a basic thing, to ask if they have hobbies. But he never has.]

[forwearemany]

It is not. However, taking turns is.

(No one has ever asked, not really.)

[counterblows]

Huh.

[He's...going to keep that in mind.]

Sure. Can't promise I'd be any good at it, but sure.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(That's fine. Everyone is bad in comparison to Legion.)

We are currently in our residence on the second islet.

[counterblows]

All right. Next time I'm around, I'll...take a look.

[He cannot remember the last time he just sat back and dicked around and played video games, but maybe that's a good sign he should try sometime.]

[forwearemany]

...Acknowledged.

(They will look forward to this.)

[counterblows]

Take care of yourself until then. All right?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.
