🐦‍⬛-45-💉

Well, I suppose introductions are in order. I am Segment 45, or Gamma if you prefer. I hear many of my fellow segments are here as well, so I've taken it upon myself to use this as a way to make sure they're all well.

As for what you may ask, anything goes so long as you don't find yourself being too nsfw—that part of myself is something I prefer to keep private and is hardly anyone else's business. I understand that many of you tend to pry about many of the segments' relations with our most trusted sponsor, Pantalone. I will do my best to answer any asks I may receive about him, but I cannot speak for the other segments and their opinions or experiences.

With all that in mind, understand that I have things to do and experiments to run outside of this one. I will do what I can to answer questions in a manner I deem timely, but this is still, at the end of the day, not something I can attend to all day.

// ooc: I will try to write/rp 45 as in character as possible, but since we don't know a ton about him, there's only so much I can do. Although I think my characterization will be fairly evident from the contents of and the way this post was written anyway. \\

You say this as though I'm denying them access to the world outside of Zapolyarny Palace, which is largely untrue(As if I alone have that authority. Ha!). All of us leave only for research trips, and though 8's and 18's research trips are few and far between, they are still allowed.

I have attempted to bring 18 around the city once or twice, but he didn't seem particularly interested in it, nor did it seem as though he enjoyed it. Looking back, I realize there were very few things that brought us joy back then. I'm glad he's found himself a little pet; he seems quite pleased with it.

Pretty? I must ask you to refrain from such useless flattery. What's so pretty about me anyway?

Because of the synthetic nature of my skin and the other segment's skin, we do not experience acne(except for 18, how funny), blemishes, rashes, things like that. I hear Feofan does 35's makeup for fun every once in a while. I would not mind something like that.

I believe I am above such a childish thing as punting someone out of anger. However, that being said...

Pulcinella. He has trouble differentiating between the segments—I'm beginning to wonder if he knows of our existence at all or if he thinks we're just very good at being in many places at once—and so I am often reprimanded, if it can even be called that, for the actions of 35 or the others.

In Zandik's adolescence, he attempted to have a bone collection of sorts. But, as with everything else he(we?) did at that age, it was considered yet another sign of our deviancy and was... strongly discouraged, shall we say.

I suppose I could. I did see an Aranara plush when I was walking around Sumeru City the other day; it looked almost like it could be over half 8's height. I almost find the idea cute, seeing 8 lug around a massive Aranara plush. Perhaps I will buy it for him.

Genetics, I suppose. Though I am unsure about what you see in me, or rather us, when the vast majority of our appearance is covered by our masks and clothes. But to each their own, I suppose. I will not be apologizing for any distress my appearance has caused, though.

I believe I've missed the language as well. The segments, we all speak to each other in Sumerian, but it's just not the same. I had forgotten how alive, or rather animated, it sounds when spoken by others. Did I speak like that once?

I would prefer to never have an assistant at all, so there is no ideal. I prefer for my work to be done exclusively by my hand. To give any portion of my research to another is to discredit myself.

What you define as interesting is subjective. But the point of my current research is to understand Ruin Golems better, as well as Khaenri'ah tech in general. You must first understand the fundamentals before you can modify and break rules.
