voice | trion's temple

[thxforthememories]

[This isn't where he was supposed to be. He was on the roof just a second ago. Why... why is he in the temple now? It doesn't make any sense.]

[And then the feeling of loss sets in. Considering he can no longer recall the events leading up to, and including the fight with Overlord, he can only assume this loss is of memory itself. The most important thing he has...]

[... needless to say, when it finally occurs to him to grab the Link and make a call, he sounds utterly frantic.]

Someone -- please. I don't know what happened. I...

[He actually needs a moment to calm down enough to speak.]

... My memory is... there is something missing. I can feel -- I can feel it!

Please. Help.

[This is the most distressing thing in the world... at least until someone tells him he was dead a minute ago.]

My feelings... are programmed in. It's all a part of my Super AI.

Artificial.

So someone tells you when to be happy or sad? Angry? What about in choosing friends?

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

No... I... I feel what I feel. But it's different.

... I don't have a soul. Not like a human being. Or one of the alien robots.

Are you sure?

[thxforthememories]

Yes. I'm sure.

[happyduckbutt]

Well... I don't care.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

You... don't care?

[What is that supposed to mean, Ven.]

[happyduckbutt]

[He nods.]

I don't care what those people think or say about you, or how you're different from others here.

You're talking to me, and whether they're programmed or not, you have feelings. And we're friends. So that's all that matters.

I...

Thank you.

[He's not really sure what else to say to that.]

[happyduckbutt]

[He doesn't know what to expect in response himself, only hoping it's well-received at the very least. The thanks seems to be enough that he can offer a smile and a confirming nod.]
