voice testing; looking at destinystrings

[catstate]

You're actually looking at a place for me? Don't you have other muses to be bothering instead?

...Whatever. It wouldn't be the first time I was stuck somewhere that I didn't want to be in. It doesn't really matter if there are other players there, even if they're from The World too...but it would have been nice if Sakuya was there too...

Do what you want, but you better be serious about this. I won't be happy if you start something without seeing it through, like taking me somewhere to make friends only to quit and leaving me all alone again.

Also, the "Schrodinger's Cat" jokes aren't as funny as you seem to think they are.

[beautifulmemory]

No. And it only sells for 2 GP.

[catstate]

...Then what's so special about it?

[beautifulmemory]

[Mia just grins.]

Do you think it's pointless? Futile?

But futility is necessary. A system needs futility in it, or else it is very vulnerable. Just because there is no use for it, is it futile? Sometimes the existence itself is enough.

[catstate]

Even though it's just a piece of grass?

[That's really strange. Although, it does feel a little fuzzy and does seem to smell a little nice, hence the name, but otherwise he can't see why you'd collect pieces of grass that don't do anything.]

[beautifulmemory]

Even a little piece of grass.

[catstate]

[That almost sounds...rather optimistic, over a piece of grass. He'll hold it up for her to take back again if she wants, since it seems important to her.]

You still haven't told me who you are. [He's pretty sure that, even for an AI, she has a name, right?]

[beautifulmemory]

[She will certainly take it back!]

My name is Mia. And you?

[catstate]

[He actually manages a smile this time as he introduces himself in return.]

I'm Hermit.

[beautifulmemory]

Hermit. Alright, I'll remember that.

[Mia offers her Member Address!]

[catstate]

[Member Address?] ...Oh. I didn't know an AI could have one of those too.

[Come to think of it, other than sneakily obtaining Sakuya's, he didn't have anyone else's Member Address. Nor had he ever cared about that sort of thing, but this time he'll go ahead and accept it and offer his in return...before noting something. Is it just him, or does her Member Address seem...a little old and out of date in comparison to the ones from the R:X version of The World...?]

[beautifulmemory]

They're useful, after all.

[Mia takes his, too! And if she had eyebrows, one would be raised.]

Interesting! This data is very strange.

[catstate]

I could say that same about this data here--it looks like an older model than the member addresses used in The World now.

[Does Mia even know about different versions of The World? Maybe she's from R:2, or even R:1...]

[beautifulmemory]

It shouldn't be old. It's no different than anyone else's.

[catstate]

[Hermit checks his...very small list of collected Member Addresses that consists of just Sakuya, and now Mia.]

But it looks different from Sakuya's member address...

[beautifulmemory]

Let me see.

[She'll peer over his shoulder! ...Well then.]

Oh! What a strange menu.

[catstate]

[...Oh that's right, as an AI Mia might not even need to use a menu like this to do whatever she wanted.]

It helps me keep track of things while in The World. [There's a list for Member Addresses, inventory, stuff like that...oddly though, unlike a normal player's menu might have, it's smaller and there isn't an options menu like adjusting one's controls, or a quit option like many would do for logging out. It seems like it's only purpose in Hermit's case is for organizational purposes.]

[beautifulmemory]

It's very streamlined, in comparison.

[Mia can pull up her menu, and.... yeaaaaah it is ooooold. That is a tedious and terribly designed menu.]

[catstate]

[Looking at it, Hermit can't help but snicker a little.]

Wow, that's pretty old-looking... [He's actually a little surprised that it even works with how tedious it looks...]

[beautifulmemory]

It's not old at all. This is the standard for The World.

[catstate]

I don't think I've heard of anyone using that kind of model for the menus in The World anymore. [Then again, he hasn't really...talked enough with other people to know that.] Maybe yours just needs an update done for it?
