Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

I'm gonna turn into one and all the memories I have make it seem like they can't do a whole lot of human shit, but go off I guess.

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-02 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
right
I'm going to put a pin in that for a moment, and ask you a question

what makes you think there's only one kind of sentient AI?
I don't know what you're remembering but it seems kind of narrowly focused to assume every world operates on the same principle
especially considering the world vanished around us just a month ago
hauntedsavior: (the voice of sympathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-02 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I don't, necessarily. I just think it would be fucked up to find out that I've been all up my own ass about turning into a robot only to find out that I've been one the whole time and didn't know about it.
ossifragant: (◌ you're the only one who can)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-02 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand that, I guess
it would be a nasty shock to the system on a good day

I've remembered doing things I don't think humans do, myself
unless humans just do it where I'm supposed to be from, I guess that's possible
hauntedsavior: (caught a glimpse of the ending)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-02 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? What kind of stuff does it seem like? Magic or stupid fancy tech?
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-02 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
honestly? i can't tell
probably magic, but i don't know the process in how it was created
hauntedsavior: (the voice of sympathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Cool, mystery magic. Totally the best thing for any person to deal with.

It seem dangerous? For you, I mean.
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-02 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Not for me, no. I don't think so?

Maybe.

I really only remember one thing about it.
hauntedsavior: (analyze your apathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-03 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
And let me guess, it's the least useful thing you could possibly know about it. I have an idea of how this whole thing works by now.
ossifragant: (⊕ we can't get out)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-04 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
pretty much
I know what the thing is, but not what it's called
I have an idea what it's used for
and I know what I did with it

and it's pretty much universally terrible
hauntedsavior: (the voice of sympathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-04 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, all of that tracks. Nobody has good powers. They're all total bullshit garbage and nobody wants them.

You need the standard reassurance that you aren't them, or you good?
ossifragant: (⊗ and you claim)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-04 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm good.

I thankfully don't remember anything about the guy I'm supposed to be.
hauntedsavior: (met your stare with blank expression)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-04 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Gratz. You been on the app long, or do you just have the weirdest combination of good and bad luck I've ever heard of?
ossifragant: (Ò do thou spare him)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-04 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
since december
so I guess it's good luck?
hauntedsavior: (count the years of isolation)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-05 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Better luck than some of the other people I know who showed up in December. I've only been here since February myself. Heard we both missed some serious shit, but I guess they're making up for lost time now.
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, I've heard that too
something about a bunch of people going missing last august
I sure as hell hope that doesn't happen again
hauntedsavior: (met your stare with blank expression)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-05 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they called it unreality or something. I heard somebody died on top of it all.

Really hoping we get to avoid that happening again for however long we're all still on this app.
ossifragant: (⊗ and you say)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-06 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
somebody died? this is the first I'm hearing about it, holy shit

and oh hell, I just remembered something
I'm definitely not human, but hell if I know what I could be
hauntedsavior: (all sense of past and future)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-07 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't know many details. People don't like talking about it. Who knew.

Join the club. I don't think half of us were human, and that's a pretty conservative guess. Got a friend who's an alien and another who's a robot.
ossifragant: (Ô got hurt a long time ago)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can't imagine that would make retrospec popular if it was more talked about

I wonder why there are so many of us?
hauntedsavior: (the voice of sympathy)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-07 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and the company's approval rating is just through the roof right now.

No idea. Makes sense to me that there's way more non-humans than humans in the whole universe, but I don't even know if that's part of it or if we're all just drowning in that same kind of luck.
ossifragant: (⊗ place your bets)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-09 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe it's both
at least there's a bunch of us to commiserate together, I guess
hauntedsavior: (caught a glimpse of the ending)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-09 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Whole bunch of weirdos and freaks getting in one place together to be sad about it.

Fuck, we're in a John Hughes movie, aren't we.
ossifragant: (Φ it's already done)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2018-06-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
damn
here I was thinking it was probably some kind of horror film, but that sounds like a possibility, too
hauntedsavior: (met your stare with blank expression)

[personal profile] hauntedsavior 2018-06-10 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Could be one that turns into the other. I've seen some of the shit in the woods and it's definitely horror out there.
