[ Perches on his shoulder again, hi. ]

If it helps to know, he does not want your body. There, there.

[purrtylittlewires]

[ewjaiewja] I would hope not!

[ascintilla]

It is ... unfortunate, for him. His current state is disadvantageous.

[purrtylittlewires]

We know.

[ascintilla]

Is he defective?

[purrtylittlewires]

NO. [Very firm and almost harsh on that.]

He's not defective. Not anymore than a human would be in his circumstance and humans are never 'defective.'

[ascintilla]

Then, if he is not defective, what is he?

[purrtylittlewires]

He's a person. He just has some...physical disadvantages.

[ascintilla]

... [ She tilts her head, silent. ]

[purrtylittlewires]

....AIs are people. They have advantages and disadvantages just like every person have.

[ascintilla]

I am aware of this.

The situation ... confuses me.

[purrtylittlewires]

Why?

[ascintilla]

[ ... ]

Would history repeat itself if he were to attempt to settle in with another host?

[purrtylittlewires]

Don't. [Harsh, firm.]

[ascintilla]

Hence my confusion.

[purrtylittlewires]

...just...don't. You don't need to know anything else.

[ascintilla]

[ UR NOT MY REAL DAD ]

I do not like not knowing things.

[purrtylittlewires]

Some things are private.

[ascintilla]

[ Hnnnnn. ]

[ VANISHING. :I ]

[purrtylittlewires]

[SIGH]

[MORE PORTALS.]

[ascintilla]

[ he may find that she's redirected him to a set of significantly more difficult puzzles. ]

[ either she's giving him an opportunity to work off some frustration, or she's being an ass. OR MAYBE BOTH. ]

[purrtylittlewires]

[HE IS WILLING TO BET BOTH. At least he's adapted well to thinking with portals and he's far too okay with JUMPING OFF SHIT.]

[ascintilla]

[ you're gonna get back to kyr and you will still be thinking with portals ]

[ PORTALS FOREVER ]

[purrtylittlewires]

[I'm gonna forget how to just WALK to doors because of you, i hope you're happy.]

[ascintilla]

[ ecstatic ]

[ … and since he's been playing for days now, Iota actually does have to start designing new levels for him to run. NOT GONNA LET HIM BEAT THE GAME, NOPE. Hopefully he won't freak out too much the first time he gets caught in a load screen. ]
