Maybe he gave them a special ability?

I guess the cores could be different, too.

[insinning]

Is there anyone else with a Lily core that will speak to you about him?

[threatmewted]

...Dunno. Don't think so.

[insinning]

What about Fandaniel? Are you two close in any way or...?

[threatmewted]

I have no idea anymore. He was digging at me for info on Zelkova's bracelet when the shield monsters showed up, and now he's a big Lily fan.

I'm not really sure what to make of it anymore.

[insinning]

I'd say Lily promised him something like Barrett, but it doesn't mean much now that we know Lily can replace memories entirely.

What did he want to know about your bracelet?

[threatmewted]

No idea. It was so early on, he might've just been scoping out Zelkova's people.

[insinning]

you're probably right

it's weird though

zelkova and lily are brothers, but they couldn't be any more different in how they've worked

[threatmewted]

Maybe it's got something to do with their original coding?

[insinning]

If Harald Hoerwick threw Cubia away, then Cuba didn't fulfill his intentions as an AI while Zelkova did. Zelkova has been helpful, but hands off, and not very communicative in a way that's easy to understand. Cubia talks a lot, but most of that seems to be unreliable and manipulative.

[threatmewted]

Almost like two sides of the same coin.

[insinning]

"One's own shadow', even.

[threatmewted]

Yeah, sounds about right.

Were they supposed to be a package deal, maybe? Like one program, except all the stuff they didn't want in there got taken out?

[insinning]

You think they were one but got divided? it'd make sense

they appear to be a similar class, and they have similar abilities. except zelkova lives on the surface and lily doesn't.

[threatmewted]

It sounds like the garden he hangs out in has other NPCs and data that was meant to be deleted. Including those shield monsters. That's how Misteaks practiced with his bracelet.

[insinning]

A flower garden

I can't believe he's been with Lily this whole time. No wonder he was so defensive.

[threatmewted]

He's a nice, friendly guy. He was probably an easy target.

[insinning]

and he lost someone

it means he's vulnerable

[threatmewted]

Even easier for Cubia to take advantage of.

[insinning]

yeah. that's a lot of people here

[threatmewted]

I was joking about getting through all this okay because I'm not traumatized like everyone else here but it feels like it's becoming more true by the day.

[insinning]

honestly when i think about the dungeon i experienced

i don't think you would have seen what i did so

[threatmewted]

CC Corp really screwed up by bringing in a bunch of traumatized people, huh.

[insinning]

funny how a lottery was so accurate on one thing

[threatmewted]

At least they still had some misses.
