And Anima is Anima. Not a soul you can prove is a soul.

What, exactly, would Kyle need to have proof that a soul is a soul?

((@GWG: Wait, You'd be willing to restart The Art of Minimalism? Can you? Please?))

((Maybe.))

"You f***ing idiot, you destroyed the whole world!"

Try to clean up their mess. Aka, fix the world. Somehow.]

Oh hey, GM ninja. And he guessed my action! Didn't you say I'd keep healing?

Keep fixing planets.

you could say priests are experts in their own religion, doesn't make their religions anymore true.

No, but they don't have evidence now do they? Especially since religion is not history, or geology, or physics, or...well, anything having to do with the real world really.

yup.
if ICARUS invested actual thought into what Marie was saying, she might come to the conclusion that she does not have a soul, and that would unsettle her. Since it has no advantage of knowing that you have no soul, and since there is no downside to believing that you have a soul eventhough you might not have one, the overall effect is simply entirely removing a gigantic source of worry and existential dread that comes along with that question. ICARUS was basicaly just going (LALALA I CANT HEAR YOU) internaly the entire time, because she does not want to give Marie the chance to even instill a hint of a doubt in her mind.
and you gotta admit, it's kind of a mean thing to do and make someone question wether or not they have a soul, especially when that person is one of the first sentient AIs that currently exist and spends most her nights, unable to sleep, with trying to not be crushed by the question of what the hell she actually is. Massively touchy question. Just looke at what that got HILDA.

I don't think Marie was saying that. She was saying the opposite, really. "Yes, there are souls. Here, read some books on them if you care so much about having a soul."

yeah, but without a soul, ICARUS would literaly just be a thing.

Tell that to Marie's soulless friends.
No, seriously, tell them that. It should be amusing.

If he does have a soul he will remove it as it is unessessary.

...
You know, I'm sure you could find someone to do that right now, and Kyle could profit from it! Sure, he'd spend all eternity in some unpleasant place, but eh.

You realize that's like pointing to a bible for proof of an actual christian god...

How so? The Bible isn't God, and I accept the Bible as proof that the Bible exists.

"A friend of Maria Ryan's."

"Alright. Please get out of the lost-and-found booth and into a waiting area."
A few minutes later, Kyle discovers that Angel's parents aren't willing to let him see them. Better get...creative.

But how would you prove the expert being an expert if there is no proof that the expert isn't telling you lies due to a lack of proof?

The thing in question wasn't the presence or absence of proof--it's the experts' analysis of said proof.

((I think we're ready for a scene change.))

Probably.

Logan is flogged. Kyle gets some rather nasty chores. Aside from that...basic training, abbreviated version.

First, the statistical stuff.
1. Everyone gets 50 XP in Dodging and Soldiering--more than enough to reach Level 1. (Soldiering covers minor things like routine weapon maintenance, making edible food, understanding jargon, and the other minor skills every soldier needs to thrive.)
2. Everyone gets 50 XP in one weapon skill. Sword, Bow, Knife, Unarmed, whatever. They also get 25 in another, which is nearly enough for Level 1.
3. Everyone gets 30 XP (exactly enough for Level 1) in a skill related to some kind of combat technique with the above. Be creative!
4. You also get 20 XP in two other skills which one might pick up in a military camp.

Second, the more...interesting stuff.
5. Who do you talk or interact with? How?
6. How do you spend your time?
7. Overall, how are you adjusting to the military life?
(Depending on how you answer this, I hope to give everyone a neat little RP section from during basic training. Please try not to destroy anything important during them.)

Ask how long it takes the staff to recharge its internal SP, and if such rituals can do other things.

((Why hasn't my meatshield been doing anything?))

FORCE GWG TO RESTART THE ART OF MINIMALISM

You could try asking nicely, you know...

Oh, the update is going to be MASSIVE with this many players. Who would've thought that the idea of shooting GWG in the face would be so popular?

Everyone who's ever met him.

Hey!

Convince GM to give me the actions I would have had if I was online when the other turns were being run.
Use said actions to heal myself. Use any left over to fix the damage people have been doing to everything.
