[levelshift]

[What.]

[levelshift]

[There is just. So much silence. Does he even want to touch that?]

done!

[levelshift]

[He's probably going to regret this.]

Why the fuck are you spending points on that?

[banworthy]

For Christmas, I suppose.

2/?

[banworthy]

Oh, you're asking for me personally, hm?

[banworthy]

[ Hm. ]

[banworthy]

Because no one else was offering and seemed like a small investment to make toward a larger payout later.

[banworthy]

Not that kind of payout.

done.

[banworthy]

Just to be clear.

Anyway, guess that's about why.

[levelshift]

[The regret is overwhelming.]

So you bought it for some other freak. You know there's adult magazines at the convenience store, right? If someone was really interested in that garbage they can just go there.

[banworthy]

Yes, but for five points, I was able to acquire adult entertainment specifically suited to that person's tastes instead of guessing. Which leads us to where we are now... me curious about what else the bots are capable of acquiring with enough points.

[levelshift]

Going from requesting porn to returning memories is a big leap.

[banworthy]

Isn't it just?

But one small step for man and all that...

[levelshift]

I'm surprised you're comparing it to scientific discovery. Aren't you a priest? Shouldn't you consider this more like playing god?

[banworthy]

I am a priest, but this isn't playing god.

Honestly, I'd think playing god would more be like... killing someone and then returning what I took from them after they come back.

And, fun question: do you think the person has any right to be mad at their murderer in that case?

[levelshift]

[What a question....]

Well, even if the person comes back fully intact, they still have the memories and experience of having been killed. That'll fuck a person up.

But more important than that is why they were killed. If they deserved it then no, they don't.

[banworthy]

Guess that is what it always comes down to, hm? Whether the person deserved it or not.

Although, I think there is probably someone who would say no one deserves to die, but... I suppose they haven't a good and proper psychopath yet.

[levelshift]

A person like that's led a really cushy life. I'm sure there are a decent amount of them stuck here.

[banworthy]

Do you feel sorry for them? Pity them? Or look down on them, I wonder?

[levelshift]

[He clicks his tongue.]

I'd say I think they're mostly irritating for being so sheltered and naive.

[Also, there's a little envy for getting to have a good life where psychopaths weren't a problem, but he's not saying that out loud.]

What about you? What's your opinion on those kinds of people?

1/3

[banworthy]

They're a reasonably safe investment to make for any beginning endeavor. Until any market fluctuation -- [ He pauses ]

[banworthy]

[ INCORRECT BUZZER. ]

[banworthy]

They're a safe bet to work with until they experience betrayal.

[levelshift]

.....

[He can't ignore it anymore....]

Okay, what's with the fucking financial talk? Normal people don't even like thinking about finances unless they're filthy rich or work in the field.
