This weather is truly dreadful, isn't it? Shall we play a game to pass the time?

Word association. Tell me the first word to come to mind when you hear this:

Class.

Comments

Disbelief.

Human nature, my dear. As I said, it is something I have seen much of.

Tomorrow would be just fine with me. Where should I meet you?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Proof.

Still, that doesn't make it right.

We have free choice tomorrow, from what I recall. How about the library? Unless you'd rather somewhere else?

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Science.

One person's right is another person's wrong. It's all a matter of perspective.

The library would be lovely. I enjoy spending my time there anyway. How shall I know it's you?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Enjoyment.

...well. I don't have to like it.

I have a very distinctive marking on my forehead. Similar to this:



It should be enough for you to locate me.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Aesthetics.

No, I suppose you don't have to like it. It is what separates you from the rest.

I believe that will suffice, yes. Thank you, Brainiac 5. You've been most kind to me.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Appealing.

Really? There's no one else you've met with that view point?

You're welcome, and I do look forward to meeting with you face to face. Being alone can be... difficult.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Home.

People here are rather cut-throat at times. Or perhaps I've only met the wrong people.

And yes, it can be. I do hope we can become better friends.

asfgh notifs are nice, LJ. >[

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Friends.

I'd like to think you've just met the wrong people, or that the circumstances surrounding us here are having an effect on those you meet. I know some, like my roommate, aren't bad at all.

I'd like that as well.

D| I know, they're full of fail today

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Heartfelt.

I would like to see that as well. Who is your roommate, if I might ask? If he's as nice as you, I'd like to meet him.

Yeah, and then I suddenly got a ton of missed ones last night. Dx

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

True.

His name is Peter, but I believe there's more than one person with that name here.

Same, it kind of killed firefox while I was asleep

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Feelings.

Oh, then I wonder how I'll be able to tell them all apart...

LJ: Keeping you on your toes!

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Important.

I'm not sure what the other Peters are like, I'm afraid. My roommate is closer to my age and height, with brown hair. Once we've met you should be able to pick him out easily.

orz

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Self.

Oh, perhaps I could meet him someday, too? I...don't want to impose though.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Coluan.

I'd have to ask Peter, but I don't think he'd mind.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

What is a coluan? I'm afraid I can't associate with that word.

That'd be very kind of you.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

It's my species. It's a little hard to describe what we're like to someone unfamiliar with the word, but I can try. We're largely inorganic, a blend of cybernetics and nanotechnology. A lot of people assume we're robotic for that reason, which isn't really correct.

Fortunately I don't look too different here from what I do normally, so it's not too bad. I'm not exactly 'normal' by Coluan appearance standards, however.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

[pen taps] Oh. [More pen taps, as if the writer doesn't know what to say]

Well, as long as you don't look too different? I guess, that's-- I've never met a Coluan before. I don't think we have those in my world.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Even if you did, if you're from a time comparable to this, your species and mine wouldn't have really interacted yet.

But I don't physically look that different, by human standards. I could describe the physical differences between myself now and myself before, but it might not help much.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Oh, that might explain it then.

Ah, yes, I don't think it would help. I'm rubbish at technology. For however long I've lived, I've just never seen much use for it.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Not much use for technology? At all?

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Is that strange? I'm sorry.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

It's more that it's strange to me. I'm from the future and my entire species are centred around and comprised of technology. Not knowing anything about it or using it is just... unusual to me.

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I suppose it's to do with me being so far along in my years. I see it around, but I've functioned just perfectly without it so far and see no need for it.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Oh. [pen marks from tapping the page]

I suppose it's also easier since there isn't much technology here either?

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Just as I imagine it must be very difficult for you here, without it.
