GOOD EVENING, CHITTR. ANYTHING INTERESTING AFROND TONIGHT? REGALE ME. ::::)
Oh, good. I had several questions for you, if you have a few moments to answer them?
I DON'T MIND SWAPPING REGALER FOR REGALEE. FIRE AWAY, GALEKH.
Perfect, thank you. Firstly, what transpired to make you the way that you are? I know of the life of at least one Vriska, so I wonder which junction is differentiated to have brought you to being a synthetic troll? Secondly, what does being a robot entail? Do you have any unique abilities, notable weaknesses, do you enjoy it? Do you dislike it?
THE FIRST QUESTION ISN'T SOMETHING I ANSWER OFTEN, LEAST OF ALL IN A PU8LIC-FACING VENUE, 8UT THERE'S ENOUGH INFORM8ION POSTED VIA ALTERN8S OF MY FRIENDS THAT IT'S TO 8E UNDERSTOOD THAT THE POLITE ANSWER IS THAT I DIED AND MY CONSCIOUSNESS/SOUL WAS TRANSFERRED INTO ANOTHER VESSEL. THE SPECIFICS ARE LOCKED SEVERAL REL8IONSHIP LAYERS DEEP, HEHE. THE SECOND QUESTION IS A LITTLE SU8JECTIVE, FOR O8VIOUS REASONS. NO TWO RO8OTS ARE MANUFACTURED THE SAME, YOU KNOW? EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS A WHOLE HOST OF A8ILITIES UNIQUE TO THEIR SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION, 8UT IF I HAD TO MENTION JUST ONE OR TWO...MAY8E THAT I HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT FRAMES AVAILA8LE TO ME THAT I CAN SWITCH 8ETWEEN, DEPENDING ON THE SITU8ION? ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS FULLY SU8MERIS8LE AND CAN WITHSTAND AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FOR DEEP-SEA DIVES. AS FAR AS WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS GO, IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. I THINK I'VE 8ECOME A GR8 MEASURE MORE CARELESS WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WOULD PREVIOUSLY HAVE 8EEN LIFE-THREATENING SITU8IONS, KNOWING THAT I'M NOT MORTAL IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE ANY LONGER, 8UT ON THE OTHER HAND, I FIND THAT I TAKE MUCH MORE CARE IN MAKING SURE TO KEEP MYSELF IN GOOD NICK, POLISHING AND 8UFFING MYSELF AND KEEPING MY FLUIDS TOPPED UP PROPERLY. I CERTAINLY DIDN'T GO TO SUCH LENGTHS WHEN I WAS STILL FLESH AND 8ONE. THAT SAID. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I ENJOY MOST IS HAVING TOTAL CONTROL OVER MY OWN APPEARANCE. IT SURPRISES PEOPLE, SOMETIMES, WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT THE LACK OF ARTICUL8ION IN MY FACE WAS A CONSCIOUS DESIGN CHOICE ON MY PART. IF I HAD TO NAME ANYTHING THAT I DISLIKED, IT'S THAT PEOPLE FIND ME EVEN HARDER TO APPROACH 8ECAUSE THEY STRUGGLE TO READ ME, 8UT I THINK THAT'S A FINE TRADE FOR NOT 8EING AN OPEN 8OOK. I'VE 8ECOME QUITE COMFORTA8LE WITH MY CONDITION AND AT THIS POINT, IF YOU CAN'T PLUCK UP THE COURAGE TO SAY HELLO BECAUSE I JUST SO HAPPEN TO 8E MADE OUT OF METAL, YOU WEREN'T ALL THAT WORTH MY TIME IN THE FIRST PLACE. LET ME KNOW IF YOU'VE ANY FURTHER QUESTION. I THINK I'VE 8LA88ERED ENOUGH FOR ONE REPLY. ::::)
I am surprised to hear that the ability to transfer a consciousness into a robotic body is something we as a species are capable of... and the implications of that are quite vast, particularly in how it relates to the afterlife... but for my own sake I would prefer not to get into matters like that. I quite enjoy living in blissful ignorance in that regard. I can see why you would enjoy that! the ability to shape your appearance as you please is certainly useful, but beyond usefulness it would simply be enjoyable. And it is unfortunate that people inherently find it more difficult to approach -- I happen to know and be quite fond of a Vriska myself and it is sad to hear that her or some version of her would have difficulty making friends. I do hope things improve for you on that front.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A VRISKA OUT THERE THAT DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE OR HAS, IN THE PAST, HAD INTERPERSONAL ISSUES. YOURS MUST 8E PAST THE WORST OF IT IF SHE MANAGED TO SNAG SOME8ODY THAT SEEMS EVEN REMOTELY LEVEL-HEADED, HAHA.
