Upon observing mundanes's behaviors...

[littlelifeforms]

Mundane.

I have observed your behavior and that of other mundanes. It is most intriguing, however I cannot help but be perplexed by some of your choices and decisions. Mundanes appear to feel pleasure out of taking cruel decisions and placing their muses in terrible situations. I believe it to be the very definition of sadism.

As an example, I have recently regained my emotion chip, in the "game" you sent me to. Yet, I have heard of your plans to have it destroyed before I could equip it. It sounds... [Head tilt.] Most purposeless and cruel.

I believe it to be necessary for you and other mundanes to seek psychological help without delay. If it can be of assistance, I know of a holodeck program where you could meet doctor Sigmund Freud.

lol oh boy a character that's impossible to icon, have fun with her

[clockwork_heart]

[The clockwork girl is disturbed by the almost lifeless way Data talks. She tilts her head to the side in imitation of him, gears whirring and ticking. Her porcelain face is painted in a neutral, almost pleasant expression, hiding the discomfort she feels.]

Emotion chip? [The technology from her world is vastly different, but Mattie is clever enough to understand what he's talking about.] Why would this mundane of yours want to destroy it?

[honordyne]

Is this something I should be worried about?

[sonof_mogh]

Data. [What did he have to say this time?]

You have your emotion chip back? Do not tell me Law is involved this time also? [He had enough of that evil psycho.]

If it is indeed cruel, then destroy it.

[puppy_lancer]

You said it, buddy.

[Muns were like gods, seriously.]

[terreifying]

...You can already feel emotions without the chip, right? So why do you want it in the first place?

Pfff, no problem

[littlelifeforms]

[ He tilts his head again and looks as surprised as an emotionless android can at this other artificial lifeform. ]

I believe my mundane dislikes the concept behind the emotion chip. He would rather see me as I am now than equipped with it. However I cannot understand why.

[littlelifeforms]

I believe so, yes. I have observed very few mundanes who did not display such negative qualities.

[littlelifeforms]

Lieutenant. [He shakes his head.] I believe you must mean Lore, and not he is not. The emotion chip was a Christmas Present from the administrators in charge of the Tower of Animus.

However, I am divided as to the matter of its destruction. While it is possible they tempered with the chip, it may also be my only chance to feel emotions again.

[littlelifeforms]

This is a correct assessment.

[ They're like Q, except in worse. ]

[littlelifeforms]

You are mistaken. I cannot feel emotions without the chip, otherwise I would agree and would have no need for it.

[sonof_mogh]

[Law, Lore....it all sounded the same.]

A Christmas Present? What kind of present is that? You should destroy it immediately, Data. It will only cause harm if you use it. Do you wish to feel emotions, Data?

[honordyne]

...at least she's not taking me to a horror game, then. Though, from the sound of it, that wouldn't stop her from doing something horrible.

[littlelifeforms]

So you agree with my mundane. Intriguing.

However yes, I do wish to feel emotions. Would not its destruction permanently incapacitate me from feeling again?

[littlelifeforms]

That is quite correct. "Horror games" are a mean for mundanes to inflict horrors on their muses, yet bear no responsibility for it.

If your mundane accepts to bear responsibility, I believe even in a non-horror game, you may suffer more than we do.

[sonof_worf]

Hey, Data. Want to play Parisses squares with me?

[littlelifeforms]

Alexander, I do not believe your father would appreciate it I were to play this game with you.

[sonof_worf]

Why not? He says I am a warrior now and can defend myself if I want to. I am strong, Data. How can I practice my skills as a warrior if no one lets me?

[neverwrong]

"Purposeless and cruel" is the name of the game. Good luck trying to convince any mun that they shouldn't torture the hell out of us. It's kinda their M.O., from what I've gathered.

[littlelifeforms]

It is correct. However, I have discovered this game to be a great cause of concerns for parents. I would not play it with you unless your father gives approval.

[littlelifeforms]

I am afraid you are correct, all attempts at reasoning appear to be futile. It is however very informative about human nature. Without laws and moral constraints regulating them, humans are still capable of the worse atrocities.

[honordyne]

That's just great. If that chatty winged guy's right, she'll just find ways to make me miserable even if there's nothing going on.

Why'd I move into this space again?

[neverwrong]

Heh. [He smirks.] I never doubted it for a second. But then, I'm human, so I guess I've spent a little more time "observing" other humans than you have.

[littlelifeforms]

As far as I can tell, you did not chose to move into this space, your mundane chose for you.

I believe we can add "denial of free-will" to the list of their... questionable actions.

[littlelifeforms]

Where I come from, humans rarely displayed such behavior. Maybe mundanes are not humans at all.

[terreifying]

Aren't you feeling unhappy over how you can't feel? That's an emotion, isn't it?
