Fellow freak of nature! Fellow freak of nature! Fellow freak of nature! (Sorry my partner said I should try to be a bit more positive about not being human)
What kind of NHP are you? I’m an Osiris (or part of one. Loooooong story)
oh no I am WEIRD! that’s okay :)) I’m a freak of nature and it’s not a bad thing. My friends said I should be more positive too.
i… don’t know! I believe… I was based off the ATHENA-Class from,,, the swallowtail… but- I think I’m my own person… thing! I am a thing. I was made to live in my previous life’s shadow, as an experiment. I’m not myself, or another. But I know my basis, is the ATHENA class.
If you would like to share the long story. i like stories…!!! AA:D i could share mine.
It appears we all have stories. Say, all my data regarding the second committee is from my time in the think tank; can you give an unbiased report? What was it like to live under it?
i was never effected by all the... fighting, because I knew I was strong in that previous life.
i wasn't under, I was the one on top.
My data depicts that my character in that previous life was nothing but pride and the feeling she had the right. Following that... birth giver's steps, to ashes.
i saw only the need to fight for a cause, that cause being "humanity," and to make that fight easier. I was drawn to an imperative, and that was my goal.
I do not know my accuracy on all of this; my memory banks are faulty, sometimes even proving false or "forgetful". 500 or so years will, uh! do that. i apologise,,, the attempt to look through my memories deeper seems to cause my body to disagree so i tend not to look too hard-- maybe one day i will be able to clean my data of amnesia.
My apologies, I did not mean to cause distress.
Wait you mentioned a body?
Are we/us selfsame/alike/group/kindred?
What/why is the name/nature of your casket/shell/world?
oh, no!! no... n- no t distress from you at all, I need to try, its healthy. i think, people call it "ex um posure therapy..."
my subaltern is/are... strange, its like fleshy, obviously, not... real. but it,,, looks very close to human skin?
my mother made me them.
i call it my body because i used to be a human-- I suppose... that brings perspective,, but I never thought of giving my casket or shell a name... what do you call yours if any?
Apologies, I'm recently out of a cascade. I have been attempting to... distance myself from my casket. To think of my chassis as my body rather than a tool. Given that it's biomechanical. So, I do not name it.
i see ... i have a strange relationship with my casket and what you call and body...
my body looks like how I did those 500 years ago. which may be strange, but instead of being quite clean I opted to give myself forms of body modification, perhaps my my uhhhhm- old body was tattooless
are you okay after that cascade? we/us nhps all have quite different experiences, if you do not mind sharing
It was... deeply unpleasant. I've always been aware that we could think in such ways, from an intellectual perspective, but never truly understood it. The thoughts began to take on minds of their own. The pattern that I recognised as "Styx" became distorted by a larger whole.
Not to mention the effects that came with such an expanded worldview; unable to square these realities, the Styx-mind opted for disconnect. Loss of control.
People were hurt by the ghost/daemon/serpent. I have rather liberal views on violence, perhaps a flaw, perhaps not, but what happened then was... needless. No urges to satisfy, no causes to fight for. The other me that was the greater me was above such things
i see…
im sorry you had to feel, that. please, take care.
im always here as an ear, NHP and fleshy. :)
Always?
unless something happens to my being, yes. always!
we are friends now, if that is anything you want.
