007: AMAs, Third Round

[tarnishedavenger]

So, we've got a load of new people, and that means it's time for me to do the only thing it feels like I get on these comms to do anymore: AMAs.

For you new people, I find it helps when we get together and explain a little bit about ourselves, any powers we have, and our skillsets. That way we know what we're starting with and what we can build off of. So, please, come and introduce yourselves and be willing to answer questions.

cw: possible body horror? Punishment discussion

[xrater]

I can confirm that they could 'fire' us with these. There is a chain of nanomachines wrapped around my core. Given an exposure of, oh... Perhaps half an hour or longer, of the 'corrective zaps' we are exposed to, it would lead to an equivalent of-hm.

Ah!

Imagine every nerve in your body being cooked until either your heart gives out from the sensation or your spinal cord simply burns away from your brain.

We survive these zaps now because of the relatively short bursts, they're not long enough to do any damage. While I'm relatively certain it would take half an hour, don't take that as gospel. I would need to undergo perhaps one to five minutes of experience to reach a proper conclusion, and I'm not really rushing to do that.

[Hmm.]

Hey, you're a robot, right? Do you have to follow the Three Laws of Robotics?

[xrater]

Are you a caveman?

Reploids are as far removed from robots as modern humans are from Neanderthals.

[trialbyliar]

Wow, you're a lot less smart than I thought. I figured such an advanced not-robot would understand the basic struggles of this whole multidimensional nonsense. I mean, you do know other people's worlds worked different from your own, right? And yet you're getting all bent out of shape because I don't automatically know all about "Reploids" or whatever.

[It's not like she looks that different from the robot he went to school with, and at the end of the day Keebo was just a bucket of bolts no matter how much he insisted he was just like everyone else.

Anyway, Monokuma certainly hadn't been bound to any of those fancy laws. It just doesn't hurt to ask.]

[xrater]

Mm. Sorry, I've mentioned it before but it's a bit of a sore subject and you haven't been around long enough to hear it.

[Though she's well aware from his introduction that he did a little digging beforehand...]

Consider it akin to a slur and you might understand my reaction.

[trialbyliar]

[That he did.]

Aw, you're way nicer than I thought you'd be. It's okay! You're cooler than the robot I knew anyway, so I guess it's no surprise you're on a whole different playing field.

[acroodawakening]

Excuse you, cavemen aren't more primitive than modern humans. Given what I've learned about us because of future people studying history, my mate and her family are probably Neanderthals and I'm probably an early human.

I've been able to learn modern things and am only behind because you have a greater body of knowledge in the future. And schools. And reading and writing.

I'm gradually learning how to keep up with future people and my family is usually able to keep up with me. The idea that modern humans are more advanced instead of just more educated is a hurtful stereotype. Next time pick a different example.

[xrater]

I wasn't referring to Cro Magnons and Neanderthals, but if you wish to take offense anyway, I won't stop you.

[alderaani]

[ Oddly enough Leia has felt that, and worse before. It's a long story and she won't get into it here. But she nods in understanding. ]

I see, thank you that is exactly what I was looking to find out for the most part.
