Those points that we can give the bots allow us to acquire a wide variety of things. [ Dramatic pause. ] I'd like to see if we'd be able to return to you what you've lost when you died.

[levelshift]

[There's a long moment of silence as Accelerator takes the offer in.]

.......... Are you fucking with me?

1/2

[banworthy]

Why would I be? And what would be the benefit?

[banworthy]

This isn't something that can be found out overnight, mind you.

If I'm understanding this little point system, it'll take a few months to acquire the points necessary to test this out. However, I don't want to be slaving away without having someone to gamble this thought on.

[levelshift]

[Okay, point. Maybe he's just loathe to be a part of another experiment, he had thought he was done with being a test subject.

... Though it's better that it's him and not some other kid.

He clicks his tongue.]

I guess the worst that can happen is the robots reject your request and you have to spend your points on something else.

Fine, I'll be the fucking guinea pig.

[banworthy]

Indeed.

[ S M I L E ]

I appreciate your willingness to join me in this endeavor. The only thing I'm sorry for is the wait to find out if it's possible or not.

[levelshift]

I can be patient when I need to be. I doubt it'll work, anyways.

[He's going to go ahead and refuse to even entertain the idea that this will work, he doesn't want to get his hopes up.]

[banworthy]

Not a terrible way to think... best not get our hopes too high on this one.

[banworthy]

[ SIGH ]

[banworthy]

You know those thoughts you get of... "if only I hadn't spent those five points on porn to fulfill a request, I'd be five points richer than what I am now."

It won't really change the amount of wait that we have ahead of us, but I still can't help but have a little buyer's remorse.

1/????

[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?
