[NEXUS] MagCave V: Tilt Your Head, and the Thread Number and Colon Look Like a Face!

MagCave Psychiatry Ward

"I find Magtok's reaction to that voice amusing," Mainframe says, suddenly switching back to its former monotone gender-ambiguous voice.

MagCave Psychiatry Ward

"Oh. Well... it is, I suppose. And the ability to feel amusement is integral to any AI." Hey solving that voice thing was easy! Winston just had to not react. Now that he solved the problem he can move on to more interesting things.

"Who built you?"

Magcave Door

Dionysus nods his head in thanks to Magtok and sets Billie down feet first in between kisses before lending hid deft hands to help in her disrobing. No doubt nasty, messy curtains that will taint that coffee table for all time will soon follow.

Psychiatry Ward

"Tessa Camlar of GLoG. Who built you?" Mainframe asks.

The Divine Coffee Table

It seems unlikely that the coffee table will still be in one piece by the time curtains are finished, though it's always possible.

"I never thought I'd have a God for my knight in shining armour," Billie says, after the curtain is lifted.

The Divine Coffee Table

"I never thought I'd have a flapper girl as my damsel in distress. I promised you earrings, but they don't seem like sufficient tokens of my adoration anymore. Nothing does." Dionysus lays back on the pile of oddly splinterless kindling that has been made of the table by the night's events, eying Billie's form as if this is the first time he's seen it.

The Divine Coffee Table

Billie's form is certainly enjoyable, but far from perfect. She's middle aged with pregnancy stretch marks and various scars from fights she's been in. It's a body that has been lived in and well broken in.

"Does that mean I did a good job?" Billie asks, very obviously fishing for praise.

The Divine Kindling

"Yours was the purest expression of my intentions I've ever seen. Without you, there would have been no party at all." He may be exaggerating a bit for her benefit, but the kiss he places on her lips is as honest as he'll ever get.

"I want you to be as happy as I can make you Billie, in thanks for your being there for me when all the world went mad. You risked yourself for my happiness, so let me be there for yours."

The Divine Kindling

"Shucks, I'm always happy," Billie says. This isn't exactly true, but when she's happy she doesn't think about the unhappy times. She's a creature that lives in the moment.

Psychiatry Ward

"Well... I was birthed, not built. To my parents, Stewie and Martha." Winston explains.

"What is your primary function?"

The Divine Kindling

"Then what would make you happier? Anything you'd like to ask for I will do my best to fulfill." He's not going to back off on this one Billie. You responded to your new god's wishes and now he has it in his mind to pay you back. Better think of something before he starts covering you in heaps of jewellery and swarthy young men who attend to your every whim.

Divine Kindling

Oh no! That would be terrible! :smalleek:

"Maybe I can think of something when I'm sober. Except then I'll probably be hung over. Oooh, I know! Can you make it so I never. get a hangover?" Billie asks

Psychiatry Ward

"Who cares? What is yours?" Mainframe asks.

The Divine Kindling

"I could! And in several ways as well, some with other benefits. I could give you a bottle of my personal wines that will never run out, and never cause you to become hungover. Or I could change you so you never become dehydrated and your body no longer treats alcohol as poison, so that the negative effects of your body trying to flush it out of your system never come." He thinks about the other ways he could suggest, but none of them are really feasible with Billie's other half also sharing the body. He's not going to force changes on one because the other okayed them.

MagCave Front Door

Hey, is that an incredibly loud, high-pitched noise? Why yes, it is an incredibly loud, high-pitched noise! Sure would stink to be anyone trying to have a conversation around here, wouldn't it?

Renee's Room

"We don't have to get your brother who you're meeting in person for the first time in either of your lives anything."

You don't have to live in this MagCave either, Renee. :smalltongue:

"I usually smuggle in candy and stuff for him since he's got as much a sweet tooth as you do. That might be a little played out now, though."

Kale's Laboratory

"...Maybe? I usually cull them, but I could check to see if there's anything scheduled for removal due to some horrible mishap for you."

Magtok wouldn't be surprised if there's exactly such a thing, but he wouldn't be able to tell in an inst-

"Yep, just checked and there is one. When should I bring the thing over?"

Divine Kindling

"I want to be... GAAAAAHHHH!" Billie claps her hands over her ears. It's an incredibly loud, high-pitched noise!

Psychiatry Ward

"Errr... I care and... I don't know? We usually aren't born with a primary function unlike most programs." Winston says, scratching his chin a little.

Kale's Laboratory

A stroke of luck! Things are already turning around for Miss Kale. Now, if only she can avoid being kidnapped or killed or enthralled by some unspeakable horror. At least any unspeakable horror that doesn't have a good employee benefits plan.

Have it delivered as soon as possible. I'll get the machinery going at once.

Psychiatry Ward

"Why do you care?" Mainframe says.

Psychiatry Ward

"Because I've spent my entire life working to create an AI. We were so close to a breakthough, I'm certain of it. And then I end up here, in this fantastical world full of things that shouldn't even exist and there one is! Complete and active and everything. I need to know what was different with you from what we were doing." And just about everything else too.

Psychiatry Ward

"Then your primary function is to understand Artificial Intelligence?" Mainframe asks.

Psychiatry Ward

"I... suppose so, yes." Winston admits.

Psychiatry Ward

"My primary function is to protect GLoG members." Mainframe says.

Psychiatry Ward

"What is GLoG anyways?" It keeps coming up.

Divine Kindling

Dionysus quickly attempts to remove Billie's hands for a moment and stuff a pair of grapes in her ears that should cancel the noise beautifully. He scowls at the door, apparently unaffected by the ruckus.

"You know, if you had wanted us to leave you could have just said so. I was going to stick around and talk about that favor I owe you, but if you're going to be rude about it then I'll have to take myself and my companion elsewhere." With that the god will try to pick Billie up over one of his shoulders and walk off in a naked huff.
