This week, I'll be having the testing room open for any volunteers who may wish to participate in the AI registration program. I know some of you had been interested in participating, and I've been able to put aside the time to do the scanning, currently. Please make sure your deck is up to date, as it will be fully registered, and until the AI is solidified, I'd appreciate no last-minute changes after the initial registration.

Thank you.

[Event]

*So, this is kinda a three-fold event.

A) You're at Mamoru's testing room at LDS, either to take part in the AI registration program to have your likeness and deck recreated, or you're here to talk to him for some reason or another.

B)

Right outside of LDS's main building however, there's a red-haired woman standing there, arms crossed. Labrys seems to be keeping a steady eye on Mamoru for whatever reason, and she isn't going to budge anytime soon.

C)

... And that's because Tarou's been slinking around. Sure, he's trying to make himself look like he should be there, be it going around the other facilities that're open to the public and whatnot, but he is kinda loitering.*

Squeezed? Interesting. I had come to assume that humans do not really get a choice of how they turn out, otherwise.

You have some control over that?

Yup! But I can't really show you or else I might start coughing up blood and ichor.

::Rubbing her head awkwardly.::

Oh.

Please don't do that. That might make me feel a bit guilty.

I won't. But when I'm healthier, I kinda wanna look like you!

::Bubbly airy giggle.::

Emulating me is one thing.

As long as that's as far as your words go.

Huh?

::Blonde look, dull as hammers.::

It's nothing. If you truly don't understand, then it is nothing.

W-well, I honestly don't understand a lot.

Perhaps you should take some solace in that. Bliss, and the like.

... You think so?

::Blink. You can hear the marbles in her head rattling.::

Yes. *considering how you smell, I peg you for a girl who had the mind of a puppy, or other small animal, and some minor demon thought you'd be easy-pickings.

And thought wrongly.*

There's nothing wrong with not knowing things, after all. It's up to you from there if you'd wish to learn or not.

I just mostly want to make people happy.

::She definitely has the demon-y smell. Though there's also a weird chemical-industrial smell, both covered by a lot of glittery silly bubbly perfume.::

But I guess not knowing things isn't too bad...

*it's what's throwing me off. but it's why I'm keeping to myself physically. long as you don't touch me, it's fine.*

No one knows everything, so it's fair, yes?

I think someone might but they probably pretend they don't.

::Thinking.::

Oh? You know of someone who might match such a description?

... Saying he looks like a Five-Headed Dragon covered in way too many eyes and feels like he's a giant book isn't a huge help, right?

... No, likely not.

I haven't seen anyone or... Anything, who looks like that.

*Meanwhile, somewhere else in the building, Shinji sneezes, and wonders idly who's talking about him.*

It might be a 'me' thing. I kind of have to squint to see stuff like that.

::Babbling a bit.::

So you can see things on a different... scale, than others? Essentially?

Maybe?

I'm not others so I can't say.

Yet you seem to be somewhat consciously aware of it.

I'm told that's how it works for other people, but hey what can you do. Philosophically they could all be lying.

I suppose, but that'd be such a sad approach, to assume they must be lying to you about what you see.

Which is why I don't. That'd be like ... My mom's outlook.

::Says mom like it's a foreign word.::

*it's odd, but to Labrys, the concept of family units like that is kinda a novelty to her, anyway.*

Still, I feel as though I may have taken up your time, incidentally.
