It's possible. Whatever the core is, it was absorbed into me.

Honestly? It creeped me out when it happened. But I don't think I've changed since I got it.

Have you noticed anything off about me?

[insinning]

I don't think you're any different. But we can test it - what is your opinion on Zelkova?

[threatmewted]

Means well, but still an AI. I think he's definitely trying to help us, but I already told him off for hiding stuff from us before. He's still learning but right now, mistakes can cost us - badly.

Hmm.

Try insulting him.

[insinning]

he's still hiding things. but he doesn't want to influence our opinion I think? I asked him about the voice and he said he wasn't certain but

um

ok

zelkova is too secretive for our good and is making a lot of people mad because he hasn't communicated anything clearly, if at all. if he sees us as friends he needs to tell us something


[a beat]

maybe you should ask someone else to insult him. I don't have a core-thing but it feels bad to insult him...

[threatmewted]

lol

Well, you tried, I guess.

Maybe imagine you're talking about someone you hate but replace the name with Zelkova? I don't really get the impression that logic matters here.

[insinning]

ctrl+f and replace?

"zelkova is a horrible manipulative person, who has inflicted massive trauma on too many people in this game."


well?

[threatmewted]

Still feel normal.

[insinning]

Then you probably don't need to worry about brain washing. I didn't even get that far when questioning Cubia's actions when I got grabbed.

[threatmewted]

Always good to know.

Hopefully that means the others who got data drain from him are safe, too.

[insinning]

you should try the others just in case.

i wonder what that means for the rest of us though. misteaks seemed ready to fight, as did leviathan

[threatmewted]

Yeeeeah, I do NOT like our odds if he can get to everyone.

But I mean. Maybe the fact that he hasn't just brainwashed all of us means he can't?

I hope that's the reason anyway.

[insinning]

I mean, he did just blow a raspberry at me when
I rejected him. Maybe you need a certain personality trait for him to take advantage.

That said, I'll ask Oriade to test the insulting Zelkova thing too. He's a better at it than I am.

[threatmewted]

Oh, this I have GOT to see.

[insinning]

I'm sure you'll both have fun with it.
