[ He's never been cool in his life and Sophia will learn this soon. But also, that's a very astute observation there. ]

Ah. [ How does he put this.... ] I don't spend a lot of time around animals. They usually don't like me.

[humainity]

... Really?

[ This does seem to sincerely flummox her. ]

Are you perceived as a threat?

[lockedon]

[ Has she seen him....HAS SHE OBSERVED HIM.....actually he's not carrying his giant gun around right now and isn't wearing his usual resting bitch face so. Maybe she hasn't seen the worst part of him. ]

Usually. It would be a problem if I wasn't.

[humainity]

[ yeah he just looked grumpy and that doesn't mean a thing?? ]

Oh? Do you find yourself in dangerous situations often, then?

[ He appears to be used to combat, or at least he doesn't look like a shut-in with unhealthy levels of solitude-- ]

[lockedon]

[ marge looking away meme

But this is a question he can answer easily at least, the return the familiar imbuing him with a smidge more confidence. His hand reaches back out to pat the baby whale again, movements a bit more smooth this time around. ]

I'm a soldier. I'm used to engaging in combat on a regular basis.

[humainity]

A soldier...

[ Processing... even as she watches him pet the calf and its little wings flutter happily in acknowledgment. ]

Does that mean you're in a war currently?

[lockedon]

[ does it count as a war if it's personal…… ]

Something like that. [ How vague. ] I'm trying to stop a war from happening.

[humainity]

I see... I've never tried to prevent a war, but I hope it's easier than starting one. They're not very good for humanity.

[ understatement. ]

[lockedon]

[ definitely understatement. ]

Most things are easier to destroy than to fix. [ unfortunately. but also: ] Ideally you'll never have to be involved in any part of a war.

[ she looks so youthful..... ]

[humainity]

[ he has No Idea. ]

Yes, I agree. I'm humanity's companion and I don't think a good companion would get involved in a war unless humanity itself was in danger...

[lockedon]

[ ...

.....................

hang on. ]

'Humanity's companion'?

[ what, like a dog? ]

[humainity]

Yes, that's what I am. It's my objective.

[ She would be pleased if she had soft fluffy dog ears, probably, but alas. ]

[lockedon]

[ time to ask the mods for a nekomimi event

But also: that explanation did nothing to enlighten him on her status as humanity's companion and he looks just as puzzled as before. ]

What exactly does that entail...?

[humainity]

Offering support and guidance in a way to help humanity... grow and improve, I think?

[ She never really got a rundown, so she's also just as puzzled about her own directive. ]

[lockedon]

[ So sorry, but he really has to ask, in the most doubtful tone possible: ]

You think.

[ girl................. ]

[humainity]

[ Her nose scrunches up. ]

All I remember is my name and my objective. I have no memories before that.

[lockedon]

[ That's kind of concerning, actually. ]

And long how ago was that?

[humainity]

If you mean from when I woke up... I suppose it's been approximately a month.

[lockedon]

This conversation is unreal. ]

You're not human, are you.

[ He really should have seen this coming. ]

[humainity]

Correct. I am not human--I am an AI, an Artificial Intelligence.

[ He really should have seen this coming. ]

[lockedon]

[ He's not a Persona, cut him some slack. :/ Though the real question is: does his ye olde fantasy ass even know what AI is? ]

Artificial Intelligence.... [ Well, at least the phrase is kind of descriptive on its own. ] Is that similar to a robot?

[humainity]

It's similar, yes. Similar to a robot, I believe I was created by humans. Though my body isn't made of metal. Normally, it's just data.
