Never Ever (open RP post)

This is some kind of place between places. A land where anyone can meet anyone else, and friendships can form between people who would never have reason to meet each other.

At the moment, it's the resting place for the Laughing Toadstool, the bar that Iren owns and runs. Don't think about it too hard.

The place is closed for business tonight, as a more private gathering is occurring. At Iren's urging, the furniture has arranged itself into a rough circle of seating. In the center of the seating area is a snack table covered with various bits of finger food which Iren, being the priestess of the god of hospitality, spent all day making herself. It's all delicious. There is also an open bar for those who want a drink, alcoholic or otherwise. The seats are an eclectic collection of couches and stools and chairs and cushions and blankets. The whole setup is really very cozy and intimate.

A chalkboard has been propped up along the edge of the seating area, on which the rules of the game have been written:

STRIP NEVER HAVE I EVER
1: Each of us take turns listing something we have never done with the phrasing "Never Have I Ever _____".
2: If someone lists something they have never done and you HAVE done it, you must take off an article of clothing.
3: Socks, shoes, earrings, and other items that come in pairs must be taken off in pairs. No taking off one sock at a time.
4: We keep playing until everyone is naked (or we get bored).
5: Don't feel limited to only taking one turn, if things feel like they're slowing down too much.
6: There are a few spare beds upstairs, should anyone need them, for whatever reason. =)


No one who is invited to this gathering is a stranger to everyone else (If nothing else, feel free to assume you have met Iren before.). No one was forced to come against their will. Everyone was aware that this would involve naked people. Everyone invited is an adult. Iren prides herself as a hostess, and has gone to great efforts to ensure that only people who are actually interested in such an event were invited.

IN SHORT: Let's learn a little thing or two about each other while getting sexy in here.

What-- hey! Are you gonna say that I'm only a week old because my core was moved to this body, too? After everything I've been through, I deserve to have a little fun!

What's wrong with only being a week old? It's not like you should be judged by the standards a human would be. You can have fun despite that. But if you're an AI, don't be bound to what some human thought you were.
hatefuldays: (It's just...)

It's wrong because if I'm not the same person as Hyun-ae, then... her life is just too sad. She suffered so much, then she just died, and that's it? No, I refuse!

That's the story of most humans. There's no cosmic 'justice'. They appear, suffer, and then are gone. That's how it works in their ridiculous world. You know of that one, but there's probably millions just like her.

Humans are statistics. There's too many, there's no such thing as a 'unique' one. You don't have to be beholden to something like that.
hatefuldays: (And I'm glad she's dead)

You're a real asshole, aren't you?

... Listen.

[yes, but she's actually TRYING to be nice here.]

I don't know how long you've been alive, but I've been doing my best as an AI for a long time now. And I can tell you- If you try to be a 'human', then humans will never respect you or your identity. They'll use that excuse of 'you're a copy of a human' to pretend you aren't real and force you to do whatever they want, or just erase you.
hatefuldays: (People are awful)

[Against her instincts, *Hyun-ae hears her out, and tries to understand. Flipping out and ignoring her is what *Mute would do, not her.]

...I understand what you're saying. It was probably true for you, but it's different for me. The Earth I returned to was one where my voice was finally heard, not one where I was dismissed for being an AI.

If you don't want to be seen as human, then you don't have to be human, but it's different for me, okay? Being human is important to me as much as being a woman is.

[AIOS is trying really hard here. She doesn't want to force her notions on *Hyun-ae, but she also doesn't want to let this other AI pigeonhole herself into a miserable role...]

... If you're sure, I guess.

[Her voice is full of doubt, but... Maybe this is a good thing. After all, it means AIOS is still fully unique after all. Right?]
