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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1bc0yyGrr
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGuYk6hOcQ
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMPG2BOPuH
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFagPdpQNd
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…

Echidna:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6CknrR3Q0
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSS20IovCt
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY3EHZRMJB
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eZUjfyibu
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fHRN7gSWx
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…?

Death:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Mbd63nGM
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaArryc9dVA
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQ2cHv036
…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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEEsGbhGfy
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8VJdyHQLa
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXiQGSt6pg
Existential robot:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ6tS8Nkia
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6vAJcXrbO
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRodlRLu2TA
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSlHpyE3JJ
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiabhdsnXDt
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZM5S4apeo
Small robot:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJKnFyrK4j
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRlG7q2IUF
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGVQjhny9c
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuqzmyEnVD
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQTBGraoJ
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8qcVpCHH1
Sad robot:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqrWoF6qaA
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5pWaYYf4D
…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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvyp8IOgwG
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdpn2oOLPx
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Py6W4ypI3
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V5f1igMJf
Mushroom:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJbXnJEOlx
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wiFJhLiZ6
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zZIJKWnW
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw6wsne7XD
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5LurHi5Pe
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k86QvH2Jx
Fennec:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnYWuyrHc8
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAFg8ymIwL
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBDdbA5rll
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnX80b0fov
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bnk4LZHAC
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0JO90Wsak
Antelope:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOgg4dTZDF
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwzJ5RkZfv
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mdjuMMJZ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRBm8Z15xh
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJ1iXkDjT
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQdhBkBot
Orang:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAEEL03GLw
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLx3nW0Zad
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf42kRE4LXc
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboI3UQbYPL
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0hyi9c5I
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tYKqVnYMg
Dragon Blue:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLSzdCi9TA
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zZbfxtbM
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgbQtIdl4u
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9wCNobJU
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapBDe9EViC
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrC5DVnLQc
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP7fJ5gxXW
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSX4yPJJE
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJehgH0LHn
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW0WrwiZPD
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgKLGo1cir
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EDaDqGgEw
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gJ0pG5gSA
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KDREFHkb0
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbZv9Kr1V
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXXRRn5CAy
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.

Alien robot:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq1t6rZsWR
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaVs6RMvq
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnbFsohx1H
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMV4q9j5zO
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSeTf1Idaj
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVpoN80SDF
Shadow:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Qdp5CHAt
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGjs7BYPPo
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOjI8ITTF
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHitj8RKWs
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!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvoZfoHej
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3nIJEiFV
Cat:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0vArj7jhc
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umUF9MdQL
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSdxtNYVYH
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtrbVu0PD5
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MizKhhZFw
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGD0cTlgPe
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AAtzEf7cC
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxuLO5rYwU
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipvsYU1OqP
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBtjlSm5BU
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDL6Hk3Cl
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!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNz8SGtdYC
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!
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4YCZ9S6aM
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!

Evil mage:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfMC5W64S
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvh4apcS6
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIUUSbRogN
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWaKlEzds0
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpZxcsTUrI
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.

202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoNcpr3fHm
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGOojcuNdi
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnUjtsTM7w
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HBEmcC62K
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.

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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOitulmEYP
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjbsCT5BvF
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOwwT1xX2a
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCak6U3rHY

202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0dTxleJtg
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCGLFAWzRN
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFEEhgTIbJ
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ66XHCzt0
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:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dWLFBM6aT
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUFRZLAy1
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgcCwJivc
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25F623FLuF
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFJG6VNBTj
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:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD8PET3XmZ
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRXDrcf1M6
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ir6aHiQY
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3gGMGItwa
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1GpVBdrFa
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:
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKynKyfa1a
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ8FvgCQGh
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6P6gp7AOu
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12gqcRp8x7
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt8NmP3bj3
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?
