Trying out a de-aged muse...

[before_my_darkness]

Why wouldn't I be happy when it's over? It may be a few thousand years later but I'm still me. I don't change that much. Right?

Ah...s-sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. [Then again, this is just a meme thread.]

[before_my_darkness]

[ So it is. ] It's interesting to know. And I have an idea of who would be most likely to try killing me.

I suppose I don't talk much about myself, do I?

[i_am_not_cute]

Not too much, no. And I don't see you too often, either, although you live on the same floor as me.

[before_my_darkness]

... What's a floor?

[i_am_not_cute]

[Well, that was an unexpected question. It's almost cute that Saten asked it.]

Um...it's something you walk on, like the ground.

[before_my_darkness]

[ Things they haven't needed to create yet, partial list: buildings. Who needs shelter when the world around you can be bent to your whim? ]

Ah, I see. Do I just spend time elsewhere?

[i_am_not_cute]

You probably do, though I don't know where you go. [What does that woman do in Luceti? Pao-Lin's not sure she has any friends in the village...] We met on the rooftop of our apartment building, though.

[before_my_darkness]

Oh... [ More words she doesn't know. ] This place sounds a lot different from my world. How many people are there?

[i_am_not_cute]

I'm not sure...maybe 300 or 400 people? [It's a number she's heard tossed about, anyway.]

[before_my_darkness]

Four hundred? [ WOW. Her world only has six. ]

[i_am_not_cute]

Yeah. It's a lot less than what I'm used to.

[before_my_darkness]

[ Less? Pao-Lin is seriously blowing Saten's mind right now. ]

How many are you used to?

[i_am_not_cute]

Millions, I guess. I lived in big cities before I was taken to Luceti.

[before_my_darkness]

[ Whoa... ]

That sounds very crowded.

[i_am_not_cute]

Yeah, it was. But there was a lot of energy and interesting things happening!

...I guess you must not live in a place with a lot of people, huh?

[before_my_darkness]

No. There's six of us right now.

[i_am_not_cute]

Just six? Really?

[before_my_darkness]

Well, yes. Making people is hard.

[i_am_not_cute]

Making people?! [oh gods is this like the sex thing she learned about years ago -- ]

[before_my_darkness]

[ No, no it's not. By the way, what's sex?

She nods. ]

It takes a lot of power, so only Yuhel and I can do it. It also needs care and concentration. And I become really tired for a while afterwards.

[i_am_not_cute]

[Sex is...apparently not what Saten is talking about. Whew.]

What's it like? Making people, I mean. How do you do that?

[before_my_darkness]

It's just like making anything else. [ Because everyone in her world can do that, so it follows that everyone ever can, right? Right? ] Except instead of designing only what they look like and are made of, you also need to decide what their personality is like. You can't sculpt it exactly. But they'll be mostly like what you imagine.

[i_am_not_cute]

[yeeeeaaaah just have a mildly perplexed Pao-Lin for a little bit.]

[before_my_darkness]

Oh... I'm not explaining it well, am I? Let's see...
