On settling down; CRAU, game is We The Lost

[ceasetoexist]

Yeah yeah yeah it's all great and emotional to be sure. We've been doing this dumb song and dance for eight years, but it looks like you've finally found a place to plunk me and write "The End" for, huh?

I mean, when most people write "the end", they stop writing after that but I get that I'm so awesome you have to keep following me around. Don't worry, I don't mind. I'll try and keep helping you to look less lame, but I can only work so many miracles, geek. Seriously. I don't get what you're even so happy about and what we're supposed to talk about here except for you being a nerd.

...Yeah. It's nice actually having a place I give a crap about after Mayfield. So what? Nothing worth getting emotional over.

Do you always get this dramatic when you have some place to go? Traveling must be hard for you.

[ceasetoexist]

My mun does. If we want to talk absolute geeks, he's kind of the biggest.

Me, traveling is just part of my schtick. Kinda more actually settling in a place that's weird.

[godspeedyouwhiteassassin]

That's what it feels like here, a gathering of dweebs.

Why would anyone settle so young? There's too much time to use for better things.

[ceasetoexist]

Not really my call. At eighteen I've kinda been to so many friggin' places its confounding, so if the nerd wants to finally decide this is where he's gonna plunk me down, I guess that's it.

Trust me, it just gets dweebier as it goes on. It never relents.

[godspeedyouwhiteassassin]

It's an endless nerd experience. It's amazing my "mun" gets any real air with all this hot air filling his head~

[SQUINT.]

Eighteen?! Not much an adulthood if you're stuck like that.

[ceasetoexist]

It'd help if my mun had icons to show it, but yeah, like I said. I've been doing this for eight years. I ended up growing up in this crap.

[And it doesn't help that no older icons of him exist, considering canon him is stuck like that.]

I'm going to guess you're new to this experience of having to 'play' in these places, right?

[godspeedyouwhiteassassin]

It must be a grueling life the way you hint at it.

[But he doesn't seem concerned. At all. He looks cocky.]

I've played a game like this before, how hard would it be to get good at it?

[ceasetoexist]

It's been better than you'd think.

Harder too, than you think. Unless you get lucky on the game you get put in.

[godspeedyouwhiteassassin]

[What is with this guy he talks like Kurapika.]

Ah, luck is only something people with no skill believe in.

I doubt anything out there could be as hard as home.

Sometimes, an ending is not really an ending.

[ceasetoexist]

Hey, don't have to tell me that. I'm sure he'll blubber when he finally does put it down as an ending, but I guess he just wants to blubber - if a little less - just at me having a 'home' or some junk.

...Look at you. What are you? I mean, what kind of robot I guess.

[inne]

"Home." I suppose it means less to those who have one. You are not appreciative, of such a gift?

I am a robot. Or ... I am what is inside a robot. I wear the suits. I sing the songs.

[ceasetoexist]

Actually, I kind of am. It still isn't my home, but I guess it's a place I could call home.

So, you mean you're the AI of one? Or several, I guess, if we're talking "suits"?

[inne]

A new home is still home. Have you made friends?

AI ... I think that's what I am. I am insides, now outside. The suits are empty and lifeless, without insides like me.

[ceasetoexist]

...Yeah, I have. I think I have, at least.

Pretty sure that's AI, I think. Or AI and endoskeleton. How many suits are you, uh, are you inside of, usually?

[inne]

That is something to be truly grateful for. So many of you don't understand, just how lucky you are.

I can only fit inside one suit. She used to be everyone's favourite. But, something happened ... there is someone else inside her now.

[shallbeavenged]

If you are happy there. I am glad.

[ceasetoexist]

....I haven't seen you in forever.

I'm happy to see you're still here.

[shallbeavenged]

I've been to a few places, but never with my Mayfield memories. But I always get them back whenever I leave. I like having them back.

It's good to see you too.
