[ alas, poor totty. ]

I'm afraid they're not. I'd say this would be one of the moments where averting your eyes is best, but... this is the reality we're facing, Todomatsu.

[ so don't pull an alita and murder anyone ]

[todorable]

[he will think twice now that shit's gotten extra-real, yes]

I--I know, but-- Angels? Weird gyro eye nightmare fuel? Is that what we-- I-I mean, what was that!? I thought we were in space!

[puzzlesss]

[ ..... ]

Well. The validity of that is something to ask Funya— ahem, AL-2955 about. At best, it might just be some kind of twisted visualization...

[todorable]

God, I hope so. It's one thing to put a criminal in jail, or, or hang them or something, but--

[he cuts himself off, brain backing up a few steps]

...Wait, what's a foon yah?

[puzzlesss]

A question with details better answered for some other time, I believe. The short answer is that it was a name I'd thought to give the AI.

[ blah blah majority votes and democracy needed blah blah ]

[todorable]

It-- Either way...!

[he plops to the ground right there, taking a shaky breath, voice stronger as he changes the subject]

...Why are you giving the AI a name? It's just a dumb machine.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Uuuuh...the weird gyro eye nightmare fuel was another angel...at least I have heard some look like that too.

[And Shelley would have liked to live a whole life without seeing one]

[todorable]

Why would it do that.
