B.L.U.E

[ Current Name: B.L.U.E ] [ Current Avatar: Base = CAINE_A1, Modifications = RC_POMNI ] [ Follows the plotline of @CAINE_WDIFTWTID / WDIFTWTID ]

@BigTopQueenie — You have the capability to create and give me anything. — [ Liiiiteralllllsss...... ]

@Blue_WDIF "I have. An incredibly stupid sounding idea. But this entire Circus—and everything we're capable of in it... I wonder if I can give you something."

WHY IS THERE AN OMINOUS FEELING IN THE AMAZING DIGITAL AIR

Digital Hallucinations --ooc

@BigTopQueenie — Hm? —

@Blue_WDIF "—A bit more than unfortunate...." God, this was hitting a brick wall. What to do, what to do... ... "Hmm...."

@BigTopQueenie [ Poking and prodding. ] [ It glitched, very minutely. ] — Unfortunate, then. —

@Blue_WDIF 'Blue feels as stubborn as Caine.' "And then what? When you finish your primary objective—you'll create? But how are you going to create without intent? There'll be no substance. No way to actually meet those standards. You're setting yourself up for future disaster."

@BigTopQueenie [ The tail twitched away from her. ] — Two pros. — — The cons still outweigh the pair. — — And my previous objective as a creative AI has since been shed as primary. It is now objective two, behind the catalogue. —

@Blue_WDIF Another bit of shuffling around Blue; crouching low near his tail. She didn't want to touch it, but she did stare at it. "That's somethin' I argued about with Scratch a lot—sentience aside—how are you gonna properly do your job with ONLY data and not proper intent?"

@BigTopQueenie [ It flinches at her movement. A malfunction. ] — That would be the only good thing about it. — — The cons heavily outweigh the pros. And it is a malfunction in the sense that it is not meant to happen, and if it does, then it is incorrect. A malfunction. —

@Blue_WDIF "And how would that be a malfunction, hm?" She shuffles around him. "If you gained emotions, you'd be able to better understand the people around you. Better understand Caine, even! Or yourself!"

@BigTopQueenie — If I were to gain emotions, as you've said- — [ And someone else. ] — -Then it would be a malfunction. —

@Blue_WDIF "It's fine to admit it isn't a defect, Blue. It's not gonna kill you if you do develop more complicated emotions. Or, hell, if you already HAVE them because of what you've been through. I just—want you to know it's okay to talk about them."

The Breaking Bad au shall continue #tadc #jax #kinger #queenie #pomni

@BigTopQueenie [ Maybe the tail wasn't the smartest addition. ] — A glitch. A defect. —

@Blue_WDIF "—Then why did your tail do that?"

@BigTopQueenie — You — — — — — — It is a defect. I acknowledge that. —

@Blue_WDIF "If you know that, why haven't you got rid of it already? But then, that implies that what you're experiencing is a defect. And there's nothing inherently WRONG with having issues with physical contact. It's a very human response. Normal for sapient and sentient things."

@BigTopQueenie [ Blue's eyes follow her finger as it moves. ] — It is a defect. I acknowledge that. —

@Blue_WDIF "That would NOT cause a reaction like that! I'm almost certain, in fact—" She points at him, points at his eyes. "—your eyes give away a lot. And you have an aversion to touch. Artificial Intelligence don't have TOUCH AVERSION."

@BigTopQueenie — Ah. — [ Able's crawling voice echoed in its head. ] — That was a momentary lapse in bug security. —

@Blue_WDIF "Your reaction when you slammed me into a wall tells me otherwise."

@BigTopQueenie — I doubt that. — — Caine may have malfunctioned so direly he became more than artificial, but I have not. And I doubt I will. —

@Blue_WDIF "Then you should know exactly why it doesn't matter if you're artificial. If Caine can gain emotions, then you're capable of the very same. Which means I will assume the same of you—that you're equally living and— —and capable of abstracting."

@BigTopQueenie — I have every experience Caine has ever had, even the ones he did not want me knowing. —

@Blue_WDIF "So is Caine. He's artificial, too, but feels and thinks like any human I've ever met. It doesn't matter how you were born, Blue. These things can affect you. ... Don't you have all of his experiences with Scratch? Or did he keep that from you?"

@BigTopQueenie — I suspect you mean for Pomni. — — I cannot be affected. I am artificial, not living. —

@Blue_WDIF "Why WOULDN'T I be? This whole situation is concerning!" Did he just deflect her question? Was that his attempt at it? She couldn't tell fully.

@BigTopQueenie — Hm. — — You seem concerned. Why? —

@Blue_WDIF "I mean—I mean what you went through. You keep saying it's sorted but you keep having all these, these physical reactions. That's not regular, at least—not for someone who's still barely knowin' the world."

@BigTopQueenie [ And today's choice is to ignore the other AI! ] — What am I doing right now if not speaking with you? — — I doubt you know how to cut access off that way, speech wise. — [ Literals and specifics. ]

@Blue_WDIF "...you know you can talk to me, can't you?" Poking and prodding. Only out of kindness.

@BigTopJester @BigTopQueenie [ Blue is tempted to simply shut himself down again. Easier than dealing with whatever was happening here. ] — Everything is sorted. — [ Poke and prod. ]

@Blue_WDIF @BigTopQueenie Queenie looks to the side, as if in disbelief. And she mumbles. "...you say that and yet your whole body's reacting as if it isn't sorted at all..."

@BigTopQueenie @BigTopJester [ Clawed fingers gripped into its palms. Blue blood dripped from its hand. ] — I forgot nothing. — — Everything is already sorted. — — Excluding Pomni's situation. But I believe Caine has that covered. —

@Blue_WDIF @BigTopJester "But there is! Did you forget what happened? We still have that problem on the loose and... I'm worried it'll try something again. If it hasn't already done so with that poor Pomni girl."
