❤ 2nd Phase: Audio ❤

[Mia's been searching the city. First by foot, and then by network. Scrolling through post after post, ignoring most commentary unless it so amused her, until she finally comes to a realization.]

I left him behind, again. ...No. This time, I'm the one left behind.

[There's that terse silence.]

That was pointless to post. Instead, listen to these words:

"Evolution... does not always mean progress.
Evolution sometimes leads to an undesired vector.
It is arrogant for one to reject change because it is undesirable.
Rejection of change is the rejection of possibilities.
Allow diversity."

Tell me what something like this means to you. I think it's interesting, don't you?

[She could use a good distraction!]

No, that's not it. I've only really found out what an AI was since coming here, really.

There are times in which fighting is unavoidable. Especially if one just wants to do what they like.

Granted, I find doing what one wants more admirable than doing what one is told.

[acapriciousthing]

Especially when you're trying to keep track of it in a calendar you're older than.

Who's gone? And... what feeling?

... Do you need company?

[terra_nullius]

[Wow there's an eye roll for you, Mia.]

I don't need your guideline on if it's boring or not. It's my life.

[beautifulmemory]

Then I don't know what you are. Humans are interesting... but why would you want to be one?

[beautifulmemory]

It's hardly worth a conversation, though, isn't it?

[beautifulmemory]

A "calendar you're older than"?

[beautifulmemory]

...I'll find you, if I want the company. Even if that makes you mad.

[beautifulmemory]

I disagree, there is always an escape route.

[He can't find a reason to protest, even if he should.]

... Okay. Do you want to talk about it? Or... about something else?

[acapriciousthing]

People usually want things in terms of the Earth calendar, but it's only been around for about five billion years.

[terra_nullius]

Then why did you ask?

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

What does that quote mean to you?

[beautifulmemory]

[Mia's even just trying to get used to day and night marking the passing of time. It makes a bit more sense regarding human behavior, at least. But this? This is just strange.]

I don't think I know how long that is supposed to be.

[beautifulmemory]

To hear interesting answers.

[aurathread]

Well... I think it makes sense. I Mean... there's a lot of things that show up that you didn't expect in any situation.

... That doesn't make it any less hard or scary, though.

[acapriciousthing]

You're not used to the calendar here?

[nyxterious]

Isn't guessing the fun part with these kinds of things? [He laughs, a hint of sadness mixed in.] Well... I lived with them for a long time, when I lost my memory. It was fun. More fun than I've ever had.

[terra_nullius]

Then I suppose I'm sorry for wasting your time.
