[Joker has had enough alcohol and pain killers -yes mixed what do you wanna fight about it- to actually consider voluntarily speaking to people.]

Hey. Bored people.

What're your feelings on AIs?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm not human. I'm familiar with all the ins and outs, but you must understand I see things in a more practical light than you do.

[Hrm. She knows the mechanics and what people do and how they do it and why, but still.]

...I mean, should I really? You're right, it might be a little personal.

...You know what, I'll just say that I highly recommend it. Some people are down with one-night stands but if you want to do the romance dance, I mean, go for it. Or not doing anything at all, that's also an option.

Do you think this is a common way of looking at things? I'd like to experience life if I'm going to be stuck in this body, as it's difficult to learn and process on the same level that I could as an AI.

I wonder what the popular opinion would be. One night stands... Romance... Nothing I've actually done.

Well, the one-night stand thing is easier to arrange. Romance is a more...it just happens. Kind of randomly shows up in your life.

It's good though. It's really good.

Ease versus meaning; I think that's your distinction. I'm far more interested in romance, I think, though I'm currently wondering if it's something I'm capable of, considering I was programmed to run a mining colony. Certainly I play favorites, but actual human emotions... Well, sometimes they just happen, don't they? Like you just said. They randomly show up.

Let's say I'm happy for those who've done it.

Yeah, you know what I found about that though?

If you've got the capacity to wonder about whether or not you can feel something, chances are you probably can.

That's one way to look at things. Perhaps you're right.

[Does she sound hopeful? Yes, a little bit. If she's going to be human, she might as well go big or go home. Nothing waiting for her anywhere else, after all. And she does honestly have some very special people here, so who knows?]

I have to hope you're right. I wouldn't want to miss out.

Yeah, well. Good luck.

Tell me how it goes later. You can get drunk when you do, try that out also.

[She laughs melodically.]

Let you know? Alright, we'll see. But I've never been drunk, either, so perhaps I'll forego that.

I'll say it again: missing out.

It's like you think I've done nothing!

[Teasing, obviously.]

I climbed a tree the other day.

And how was that? [Huh. Joker's only climbed a tree once and that was like...almost twenty years ago now. His parents got so fucking mad at him, but it was worth it.]

I almost fell out.

[Yep.]

I hear that happens.

I wouldn't recommend that part. I think my favorite bit about being human, though... you'll laugh.

Probably. [joker stop] I'll turn off my mic if I do. How's that?

[WOW RUDE.]

That's fine. It's the gelatin, though. It's hilarious.

Gela-

Jell-O? You're nuts about Jell-O. All the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll to choose from and Jell-O to gives you your jollies.

It's the first thing I ate as a human, and I have to admit... the wiggle is charming.

[Y E P]

I can't eat it. Not after I heard what it used to be made out of. [Not even the synthesized stuff, it's just...yeugh.]

[DON'T RUIN IT.]

...I don't want to know.

No, you do not.

[This is the sound of relief.]

Thank you for not telling me. I'd rather enjoy it, you know?

Sure.

Ever try Jell-O shots?

[THEY COME IN SHOTS?]

Alcoholic?
