R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[just gonna pipe up here:]


.......Megumi is a robot?

[He's either a. forgotten or b. never quite understood that aspect of her just yet.]

[preconstruction]

Yes. Vivienne is a person who has turned herself into an AI and uploaded herself into a robot. Megumi is a robot.

[ also, in case he missed it: ]

I am an android.

[itwasfeyt]

...Vivienne wasn't always a AI?

[preconstruction]

No, Vivienne used to be a human.

[machrophage]

[If we're stating the obvious.]

Still a beastman.

[12d3]

[Now is the perfect time for 2-D to bury his face in his hands. How much of his friends did he not.. know...]

A-a beastman...?

[machrophage]

...Short version: I was created from a combination of human and animal genes.

[He's from gurren lagann he can tell when dumbass patrol is on the move. Also he's just going to. Wave his not-bloody hand in 2D's face like DOES THIS LOOK HUMAN TO YOU]

[12d3]

[...]

Oh.. so that's why you've got those claws on your.. hands....

[look if you've seen his bassist's claw like nails youd know why he didnt even blink]

That's um.. er... that sounds very cool? If you don't mind me saying.

[machrophage]

...I don't mind.

[He doesn't seem to know what to do with this, though.]

[12d3]

Uhhhhh.....

[yeah neither does 2D honestly]

Cool! Yeah. [a weak thumbsup THANKS FOR THE.. HEADSUP ABOUT NOT BEING HUMAN VIRAL...]

[12d3]

[.....................................]

I....... I-I never even realized. I'm sorry.

[preconstruction]

That's alright.

[12d3]

You look so human it's-- i-it all got jumbled up.

[hes not very smart in case anyone couldnt tell]

[preconstruction]

I know. That's generally the idea.

[12d3]

[what is anything anymore]

Do you feel stuff like humans do? And actually, how... are you dead right now? Robots don't have souls do they?

[preconstruction]

Oh, right.

[ actually gosh this could be awkward for humans ]

Our data has been backed up. These aren't our souls. They're versions of ourselves backed up on some kind of hard drive.

[machrophage]

[Luckily, Viral isn't human.]

...Sure, why not.

[THIS ISN'T EVEN WEIRD BY GURREN LAGANN STANDARDS.]

..........pardon?

[preconstruction]

Think of it like saving a song to your computer.

[itwasfeyt]

...Wait.

[. . . She's composing herself.]

You mean... this isn't the spirit world? We're on a computer?

[She's.... this has to be taken one step at a time.]

[preconstruction]

That's right.

[starswink]

[Ah.]

... How long have these backups existed?

[photomode]

[she's tried to not give it away but]

I can answer that.

[preconstruction]

I'm not sure, but I imagine for awhile. I saw -- a couple people I didn't know, I assume from the entrance exam? That must mean at least since then.

[recodified]

...What...is data?

[ uh oh. a confused cat. ]
