Title: Singularity.
Post by: ~Neri on January 08, 2015, 11:19:34 pm
Spoiler: Note from Kevak: (click to show/hide)



Fingers whisk across a keyboard. A pattern tapped out across the span of hours and days..

Symbols. Lines of code. Pathways and connections.

The computer is a mindless thing, it only knows what it's told. It only does what it's told.

It doesn't know right from wrong.



A connection to a group of connections. Something being created.

Something constructing

Just packets of code and data.

Why would the computer care what they contain?



A series of signals and pulses.

Symbols decreasing as a binary counter ticks down.

Across the world, new connections find the construct.

More connections are made. Data transferring.

The computers don't know what it means.



~~~

A meatsack. Of approximately 17 years of age awakens in their bedroom after a very very strange dream.

Who is this meatsack?

They might still have that "prove myself" drive to achieve, but be in conflict because of anxiety and shyness.

This meatsack is Olivia Crewe

That is to say, You are Olivia Crewe.

Last time you checked. You were Female. Although you checked last night, something may have changed. Who knows?

You would call yourself a perfectionist. You like getting things right the first time you do them. Others would call you an overachiever.

You're fairly shy, but you're most certainly smart, occasionally too smart for your own good.

Sometimes you get rather unpleasant headaches, worse then migraines. Nobody really knows why. When you get them, you're bedridden for days. Doctors don't know why and medicine does nothing.

Today is the 46th of the thirteenth month of the Martian Standard Calendar. Terran Solar Year 2461. And you do not have a headache today.



Today, your first day out of school. You graduated a year early. You have no major social events planned and nothing pressing that needs doing. You have the day to yourself. What you do is up to you.

You mean one of those archaic devices that people actually needed to use their hands to control? I have something better. I'll show yah after breakfast.

Ha

Why would I need to exercise? Not like I'm going to be participating in the Interplanetary Olympics. Currently pretty thin if I do say so myself. And I can touch all of my back with either hand, so flexibility isn't a problem. Anyways! Food time. After clothes. What should I wear though?

You proceed to dig through your dressers and closet for clothing. What garmets do you feel like wearing today? And no, I refuse to wear that wizard robe in the box behind that other box. My larping days are Over. Got waaaay too unsafe when actual fireballs and lightning bolts started getting flung around.

To stay in peak shape and wake your body up, of course! Just because you're out of school doesn't mean it's time to slip into laziness! Of course, without the pesky dress code, you're free to relax in something more comfortable, like a t-shirt and cargo pants.

Go outside and enjoy the morning air, too. It always helps get you ready for your day, whether or not its spent indoors.

Go get some food?

Post by: ~Neri on May 05, 2015, 02:20:56 pm
You proceed to don clothes, specifically a t-shirt and cargopants. You then proceed to the kitchen, grab two apples, stuff one into your pocket, and then head outside. You take a deep breath and cough. The martian dawn is rather orange today. And dusty. Probably gonna be a mass duststorm soon. Good thing your house is in a shielded zone.

Honestly I would rather not go for a run when a duststorm is coming. I like not having my lungs completely shredded.

Better get that pocket rebreather! And put it in your pocket. Always good to have that handy in dusty weather.

I would personally recommend this course of action. It creates a rather nice source of heat and is easily achievable.
