THE BEAST. HE STINKS. OR HE DID, BEFORE HE FLEW MAJESTICALLY INTO THE HORIZON WITH NARY A CARE IN THE WORLD

HA! FOOL AND WEAKLING THAT

No And Last I Looked It Was Decently Functional. And I Didnt Stick It In Anything That Might Change It Recently Either.

 

*Sniffs with the weirdass cat sniff face. U kno the one.*

Hm.

 

SOMEONE WHO'S MORE STATISTICALLY INCLINED AND ALSO CARES MORE THAN I DO OUGHT TO FIGURE OUT WHY SOME OF US ARE CURRENTLY BEING BRUTALLY ASSAULTED VIA OUR OLFACTORY GLANDS, WHILE OTHERS ARE APPARENTLY FINE

I'D BE WILLING TO BELIEVE IT WAS JUST ME HAVING SOME SORT OF MELTDOWN IF OFF-BRAND HUMAN ERIDAN RIPOFF AMONG OTHERS WEREN'T APPARENTLY SMELLING IT TOO

 

what.

 

WRONG BOOTLEG

 

The Weird Scarf Kid Claims To Be Some Sort Of Dark Lord Occassionally.
[She waggles her eyebrows]

 

Oh no! -noofnoof- Are you alright? Also why is it so hole-y then?

 

-Clover snuggles up to Chroma for hair time. It's just mildly calming to her, but Chroma seems to like it a lot.-

 

"Yes, sorry, I replied to this before we took the party on the move." Lissa shrugs.

Lissa chuckles. "I'm not saying we would regard a herbivorous species as nonsapient by definition--I'm saying we'd be very surprised if we met one! And I'm morally dubious. Nature is more fun than you think. When I got turned round right by Stanford, one of the first things he did was take me hunting, and I think you should try it. Deer are delicious and a highway hazard when their numbers are unchecked. It takes the murder edge off, too." She shrugs. "I like kits. They are actually a whole lot of fun. But the only human babies I've spent much time with were Alex and Mason, and they got interesting quickly."

 

Hm... Plain difference in terminology, biased by language construction on a primarily mechanoid homeworld? The distinction in Primal is closer to... [she tilts her head, thinking.] If a living being is primarily mobile, it is an animal. If it is primarily sessile, it is some variation of plant. Non-living things have their own categories, and for some reason the language doesn't account for those with mobile roots and sessile alts, or the reverse...

...Then again, Quintus makes little enough sense most of the time that I might be better off adopting a whole new language set entirely.

I'm fine! I just don't want to focus on it unless I have to. [Cuddle the kitten! Shhhh, it's okay.] A Singularity is full of holes, and full of walls, but mostly full of contradictions! Can you imagine a theoretical sphere made entirely of holes?

Vector says we Thirteen were a singularity once too, before something happened to our Cluster to split us off into the various universes.

 

"This is a linguistic issue." Lissa shrugs. "The word I use when you hear 'animal' specifically in my language means an organic living being. There are animals who are sapient and animals who are nonsapient. We don't eat sapients or other carnivores. We wouldn't call a mechanoid that word. I don't know about English, which is my other language, because there aren't mechanoids on our Earth."

 

"I make that claim myself time and again, usually when people are annoying me." Ford stretches out on one of the couches. (He's not actually taller than the Ford most of the people here know, he just looks that way because he's narrower.)

 

... You Are Not Weird Scarf Kid You Are Upsetting Dad Shaped Replica Douchebag Go Away.

 

-Quintus is upside-down for some reason, a couple of pairs of hands engaged in taking notes on this conversation. How long has he been there?-
Rude!!

 

So like, a round net? -is cuddle, many indecorously loud purr-

 

I am not actually a linguist, I've just been alive long enough to watch my first language change dramatically. [She shrugs.] Similarly, there aren't even words for organic matter or beings in Primal; Cybertron had no organics to refer to, and if you go watch the first offworld contacts the words that would eventually become things like "organic" or "squish" are closer to "malleable" and "fragile". And "sweet Primus why is it sticking to me, it wasn't magnetic when its casing was intact," but, well. That's what happens when you leave Prima and Nexus in charge.
