1. does VR exist in your world
2. do you have any experience with programming
3. what's the height of technology available in your world
4. are you interested in video games
5. are you interested in contests of skill as opposed to brute strength


[No hello how are you my name is--none of that. Just a list of five questions--so are you going to answer, or not?]

[What an interesting set of questions. Sieglinde isn't sure what this is all about, but she can't see any reason not to answer them. ]

Hello there. I must have missed it when you first introduced yourself. I am Sieglinde of Catarina, what's your name?

As for your questions:

1. I'm not certain what VR stands for.
2. I dont quite know what programming is either, so probably not.
3. Elaborately engineered booby traps.
4. I've seen them in store fronts, but I've never been compelled to actually try such things.
5. Yes.

1. What's VR?
2. Does being friends with a program count?
3. TRON
4. Yes!
5. Depends on the contest, I guess

1. only just barely. the tech for it is in its infancy but i'm sure it'll develop exponentially in a few years.
2. some. depends what you need programmed. [ He's being modest, here. ]
3. that really depends on what your priorities are, don't you think?
we've got nanobots, very rudimentary within-solar-system space travel, holograms, no teleportation, no time travel without superpowers, 3-D printing with limitations, animal cloning with limitations. care to be a little more specific?
4. hell yeah.
5. brute strength is boring; skill all the way baby.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Likely classified technology.
4. No.
5. Whatever is most efficient for the situation.

[ most of this makes like no sense to her ... which is not something she's keen on admitting. so instead: ]

It depends on who's asking, I'd say.

1. what does VR stand for?
2. Nah
3. The Niffs grow soldiers in test tubes Smartphones are pretty awesome, ngl
4. Who isn't?
5. Sounds like fun

[bunnyblock]

I didn't introduce myself.

You didn't miss anything at all.

It's Noiz.

[Starting off on a friendly foot already.]

.....

Your answers are a bit...

....

VR is Virtual Reality.
Booby traps....

What kind of a world do you live in...

[bunnyblock]

[Another person who doesn't know what VR Is. But he knows what TRON is, so maybe there's hope yet.]

'Friends' with a program? Do you mean AI?

And VR stands for Virtual Reality.

[bunnyblock]

[Finally, someone answered with something he can work with. Honestly, he feels relieved. Absolutely relieved.

Someone from a world that has technology he can understand (holograms and 3D printing--) so he's not as lazy with his reply to this one as he might be to some of the others who replied to his post.]

I'm looking to create a VR-based mass-multiplayer combat simulator.

We had a very popular system of operations back home that I was interested in, and coming here to find it doesn't exist is very disappointing.
If you have experience and interest in this sort of thing, my 'need' here is to find other people who are interested in undertaking this project with me.

You answered very positively. So if you're interested in this sort of thing, I'd ask for your aid.
Normally, I'd do it myself, but I've found I'm going to have to start from scratch, due to the differences in tech between here and my home world.

[oniondaughter]

It's nice to meet you, Noiz.

I'm not entirely sure what virtual reality would be, but I don't think we have it where I come from.

[The question of what kind of world she lives in is... an important one, but a difficult one to answer.]

My world is very different than this one.

[bunnyblock]

[Even if the others' answers are pretty much right up his alley in terms of what he's looking for and how he'd answer something like this himself--the 'no' to answer 4 is what irks him.]

You've got no interest in videogames at all?

That's disappointing.

>voice

[bunnyblock]

[He actually debates answering her in text, but... due to his nature and the way she responds...

Well. He's certainly not opposed to being childish in response to this.

So while the voice that comes over Khisanth's speakers isn't anything like Noiz' own: It's high pitched and loud, a bit mechanical and... entirely mocking.]

Scary, scary!

You're so suspicious, over a few simple questions!

Did we scare you?

[bunnyblock]

[Doesn't it suck to have a job where you can't be online all day like Noiz is? He's just chilling comfortably on his livingroom floor, replying to all y'all like it's his job.]

VR stands for virtual reality.

If you like videogames and tests of skill, but are useless in terms of programming, then I can still find some use for you.

I will need testers.

[leatherdaddy]

Okay.

I've got two friends who are interested too -- actually three. Wanna add them to the list?

[ Iris, Noctis and Ignis haven't given their consent, but like hell he's going to play beta tester alone, right? ]

Is this anything like King's Knight?

[bunnyblock]

[He'll hold back the 'nice to meet you too', because he's certain Sieglinde will regret saying it herself after a while. Noone ever thought it was 'nice' to meet him.]

It's like everything within your cognition changes to a virtual plane. Everything you see and experience in front of your eyes isn't real, but it's real enough to affect you with it.

It can be used to create games.


...But if your world is 'very different from this', you probably have no idea what a video game even is.

[bunnyblock]

More would be better.

Testing requires several points of view to see all its flaws and faults in development stages for things like this.

I've never heard of King's Knight. Describe it to me.

[manmade]

I've never had a reason to play any. They seem pointless.

[onblackwings]

[ oh god is this what this person sounds like?? this is horrible. she has so many regrets already. ]

Only a fool gives away information for free.

[oniondaughter]

Ah. That sounds... rather complicated.

I've been here for a few months, I know what a video game is. As I said, I've seen them in shops and the like.

[Well, she has a general understanding of what video games are. She's never actually played one.]

[bringbackgold]

1. Barely.
2. No.
3. It likely is related to medical technology.
4. Never had time.
5. Yes.

[bunnyblock]

[He'd probably have a good laugh if he could see the look on her face upon hearing his 'voice'. Not that it's his--it's entirely fabricated over many layers of filtering.]

You just called a bunch of people fools right now!

That's so mean--that's SO mean!

You don't want to answer at all? That's pretty mean, too...

It must mean you don't like videogames at all and want to admit it!

[bunnyblock]

[Okay, he can glean one conclusion off of this.]

Too busy doing other things to play a game?

How would you feel testing a virtual game when I'm ready for testing, then?

Having a few samples of people completely new to the experience would be good information.

[bunnyblock]

A lot of video games are pointless.

Sit at a desk, tap away at a keyboard, point a mouse, use a controller...

Those don't take any skill at all.

VR games are completely different.

[bunnyblock]

For someone who hasn't used it before. Sure.

Rhyme is a videogame that completely changes the way you experience it. It's not just something on a screen that you play with a controller, a mouse, or a keyboard.

It requires every bit of skill and brainpower you have beyond tapping buttons.

If you're really so unused to the experience, having someone new experience it might be valuable information.

If you're willing.
