I have no idea ahahaha! But it's important to think about isn't it? What if you meet a really handsome robot? What if it becomes a quota requirement?

[flameinthedarkness]

[...

Fuck.

Why is Hypnos so easy to talk to? It makes no sense at all. Maybe because it feels like there are no consequences to it? Anything said to him seems to go in one ear, out the other, so it feels so... unrestricted. That nothing sticks.]

i already have ok? already thought bout if it something happens here like that. some humanoid enough robot showing up tho i would question how that would even work with the fucked up reason they say this is all happening [Idia still not answering the question itself...]

[bullfan]

What do you mean how it would work? You'd touch the robot butt! The robutt?

[It would have to have a butt, right? Really, actually, Hypnos has no idea what he's visualizing. He's kind of taking this conversation message by message--like Idia said, it's kind of like throwing rubber at a wall.]

that's the point, right? just watching us all have sex with each other?

[flameinthedarkness]

[...huh.]

hypnos. do u know what a robot is? [And if not, where the hell did he hear that from to even ask that question?]

[bullfan]

Nope! Not a clue!

[Best just to err on the side of complete ignorance, even if he's learned a little bit about technology since his time here.]

I just thought I'd figure it out eventually while we talked about it LOL

[flameinthedarkness]

[Ok, Idia can see that with Hypnos.]

robots arent living things. they're made by people. can range in how they look and act and think. metal. plastic. synthetic flesh. they can mimic living things but it's done through programming, not them being alive

[bullfan]

sooooo you think that they can't be brought here because they're not alive?

[flameinthedarkness]

no i mean i guess there could be a universe where there sexbots or something or ones so advance that u cant tell they are robots

[Nope. Nope. Idia doesn't like this. It hits a little too close to home.] i rather not think bout it

[bullfan]

I thought you like all these machines and stuff why not??? Wouldn't it be really neat to meet one like that? You could study them and stuff!

[flameinthedarkness]

I mean... i guess in some way. like yeah i would be

but my brother. well i guess one of my brothers. hes a robot. so... its weird! I dont wanna end up thinking of him during that like that!

I get u gods all fuck each other but id rather not go the incest route

[bullfan]

sooooooooo you don't want to have sex with your brother which means all robots are off limits? Why would you think about him during it if you don't have any attraction in the first place? I don't get it!

[flameinthedarkness]

i... i donno ok? maybe cause ortho is unique. theres no robots like him in my world. none as advanced as him. i guess i think any as advance as him showing up would just... make me think of him?

guess wont know until it happens

like i saw really advance robots on the train. not sexual. but some that 100% could pass for human for most. i noticed. but they were amazing

[bullfan]

Well it sounds like you could at least make some really interesting friends if you ever meet any others here :)

[There's a pause.]

Why are we talking about this again??? Do you need help with quota? 🤔

[flameinthedarkness]

...b cause u texted me n asked me that

do u not remember what u text? did u sleep text it?

[bullfan]

no I didn't! You messaged me first, don't you remember?

[Mortals are silly beyond understanding...]

[flameinthedarkness]

no i didnt! i responded to ur text! look up on the feed! u started this!

[bullfan]

ummmmm I can take a picture, right? Of the screen? How do I do that???

[flameinthedarkness]

[Wait...]

ur srs? like u didnt? [After all, why bother showing a picture as proof unless Hypnos is telling the truth? If it was anyone else Idia would assume it's Hypnos trying to bluff him, but... it's Hypnos.

So while Idia is now doubting himself, he still throws back a text explaining to Hypnos how to take a screenshot with the device.]

[bullfan]

I didn't! Look!

[Sure enough, when Hypnos manages to get the photo taken and sent over, Idia will find that there isn't any message to speak of before Idia's initial response. From Hypnos' screen, it looks like Idia's the one who messaged him out of the blue.]
