i need:

α) directions to the nearest graveyard from the communal housing

(or animal blood if cheeseburgers are hard to come by)

γ) a prism or some other kind of clear crystal for rainbow making

δ) cooking lessons.

Neither.

I remember machines who tried to become like gods. In the end, they died.

[deathkid]

neither?

how does a machine
die?

i mean, they don't have souls
as far as i know

[spellslots]

That's who I work for, so yup!

[deathkid]

[ dot dot dot. ]

you know what
i'm not even surprised

[burntbridges]

More gods, I presume... my world has no gods. So, I suppose I'm a mortal with magic.

I suppose the crow must like me. [This is her attempt at a joke.] After all, my daughter is tied to my soul.. but I can't think of why the crow would. Aside from being perched on my head for ten years or so.

...It's a hairpin. Made from the bird's skull and feathers. I feel I should elaborate on that.

[trashmammal]

yeah wow geez.
sorry i asked.

i just think its kinda cool how youre being so open about this whole thing.
i mean i guess if my dad was god id prolly let everybody know.
walk up to the counter at Snack Falcon be like "yeah i'm the god baby whats up"
"I think I deserve some free sodas thanx"

[spellslots]

Everyone's always surprised by the robot thing, too.

[Stop this!!]

[howlongiwonder]

The machines have cores that contain their personality and data. If the core is destroyed, the machine is gone.

I wonder did they move closer to gods or just ceased to exist.

[How philosophical.]

[deathkid]

that's pretty rare in my world

given you have some of its physical form
i would think that would be the reason.
it must be tied to that still
and possibly feeding off your energy to remain substantial?

[ now he's going to be thinking this over. ]

@s.uchiha

[eyeforaneye]

Mortal.

What are you offering in return for assistance? I can cook but I prefer an exchange.

[deathkid]

[ squints at the username. it doesn't translate well into greek. ]

normally, i'd offer drachma
but i don't think that kind of currency would be worth much here
i can teach fighting skills
and i guess offer units
i'm not really used to relying on others.

[deathkid]

can destruction truly be compared to death
i'm not good with machines or anything like that
so i don't know

[ equally philosophical. ]

the gods of my world still exist
and there are signs of them everywhere
though most don't know how to look for them

[deathkid]

i don't spend a lot of time around normal mortals
and hiding it here doesn't seem like that big of a deal
i've spent too long hiding who i am
so i'm not going to bother anymore
it's complicated.

and i don't think it would get me free food or anything
at least not where i'm from
more likely to attract monsters who'd rather have me
for a snack

[deathkid]

robots exist in my world too
i know a demigod who is obsessed
in fact, most haephastus kids are obsessed with machinery

[howlongiwonder]

[The response comes with a delay. 2B probably had a thoughtful moment right there, but the results of her ponderings is not something she shares with others this time.]

If they are everywhere, can you see the signs here too?

[spellslots]

I think it's more the whole like, we don't have cars and guns and shit, but there are robots, and ovens, and sugar. Seems like most people who come from places like mine aren't up to date on the culinary arts.

[deathkid]

i'll have to look
but i meant everywhere in my world.
i only just arrived, but once i start looking
if the gods have presence here
i'll find out

[burntbridges]

That's not a bad theory. You're rather bright - how old are you?

[In all fairness her definition of "bright" is "anyone as smart as her, according to her". It's a very subjective system.]

@fraulien.zweihander

[oniondaughter]

Still human and mortal, thankfully.

I can't help you with the others, though.

[Okay, that's not true - she actually knows how to cook for herself well enough. But it's not something she feels confident enough to teach in.]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Well, there's a response that catches his attention. ]

I'm more interested in what you can do than in money. I'm willing to make that deal, though it'll be helpful if you tell me what you want to learn to make before we meet in person.

[deathkid]

technically?

i'm roughly 86
sort of
but i'm more like 15/16.
if i'm bright, it's because i learned from the dead
and from my father, hades.

[deathkid]

i'm not very picky about food
but i do love cheeseburgers, so if you can teach that

as for what i can do
that'll probably require a demonstration

[deathkid]

still?
as opposed to what?

[oniondaughter]

[Oh, that's right, other universes and all that. Not everyone here worries about the curse the way people in her homeworld do.]

Undead.

My apologies, I assumed that's what you were referring to when you asked if we were still mortal.

[burntbridges]

That's awfully confusing... where you dead before you came here?
I was, so I suppose... I'm either a bit under 18 or a bit over. I'm not quite sure myself.
