[ no preamble, just right to the chase: ]

How many of you are non-human?

And of you non-humans, how many of you are robotic in some way?

And for those who are derived from robotics, how did that Chroma stuff generating affect your systems the first time you experienced it?

I've not experienced an energy like this before and data is hard to come by unless you're some type of human. They all seem to suggest it's some kind of energy powered by "love and friendship" or "the ancient gods from the moon" some other inane bullcrap. [ he... may have stopped listening when the answer wasn't one he could grasp... ] I don't buy that. I wanna know what vehicle it operates through and how both humans and inorganics can experience it.

It should also go without saying that humans shouldn't bother replying. Your input is useless to me.

[ what a charming fellow... ]

[veiledvanity]

as they should. Youkai are just better.

[devilrush]

I wouldn't know beyond that, considering there's no such thing beyond what they go over in storybooks.

[veiledvanity]

Such as? Momotarou? Kintarou? Urashima Tarou? Ushiwakamaru, perhaps? Do any of those names mean something to you?

[spectralsnipe]

Exactly. While some of it's hard to believe after a certain point you just have to accept it.

You're right. Everyone seems pretty happy to just use their Chroma freely without thinking about the repercussions or side-effects.

[remilia_scarlet]

While that is oversimplifying matters, it is technically correct. I assure you that I am no mere fiction, however.

As for the matter of Chroma, I do share your distaste for how it seems to defy logic, but there can be no doubt of its authenticity. If you have not yet, you shall surely see for yourself before long.

Only half human. I have the body of a demon.

There was some energy in the world I was in that resembled Chroma called Magatsuhi, but it was made from strong emotions. Stronger demons had more magatsuhi, but humans are the ones that produced the most of it. Figured this might be something similar.

[So not love and friendship, just emotions in general.]

[devilrush]

Sounds like typical human behavior to me.

[devilrush]

A lot of this seems fictional to me.

All I know is that it feels odd when it generates. I don't like unknown variables messing with my sensors.

[devilrush]

They're all Japanese folklore tales.

[devilrush]

A lot of "demons" here, it seems.

That doesn't sound any more believable than "moon magic," to me.

[veiledvanity]

OK so that's one overlap our worlds have. small comfort. still makes no semblance of sense about this place, but still, a connection. curious but good to know. you could say i have particular interest in these characters... heh

[demifin]

Believable when you get a parasite put into your eye to turn you into one.

I suppose seeing is believing. Can't really prove anything except when I summon my demon companions. Or when I breathe fire out of my mouth.

[spectralsnipe]

I wouldn't know. It just sounds like someone who refuses to look accept reality to me.

[necroyalty]

A question.

Am I qualified to answer if I was human at a time, but cast that aside?

[devilrush]

Exactly what I mean.

[devilrush]

I feel as though most people in this place share some commonality. I appear to be from a year far beyond most people, but history seems similar enough to what I know.

Is that so? Makes sense, I guess.

[devilrush]

I guess you have a point. Nothing I can't deal with.

[devilrush]

What do you mean "cast that aside?"

If you "were" human, you "are" human.

Unless you're cybernetic of some sort. Still human, in my book.

[spectralsnipe]

That just seems to be something that naive people do in general.

[Who has two thumbs, is completely human outside of the moon cycles, and is responding to this despite the friendly warning? That's right. It's this girl.]

Useful data is pretty difficult to come by regardless of who or what you are.

For what it's worth, I'm human, but the mech I pilot doesn't seem to be compatible with the energy generated by this place. Are you finding that it interferes with the way you function?

[devilrush]

Hm. I guess you're right. I know a few non-humans who might fit that bill.

[devilrush]

And what difference would it make to you if it does or doesn't? Whatever my symptoms are wouldn't apply to you.

[pidgeypidge]

Not to me, no. I'm just a boring human.

I'm trying to figure out if it's universal to all mechanically-based lifeforms, or if there's something about Green specifically that doesn't agree with this planet's energy.

[sheisthewind]

Youkai.

Thus far, the energy appears to be exactly what they say it is, and everything I've studied with Lunar Scientia also supports that.

[devilrush]

Ah, another demon. There must be several of you here.

By "study," are you saying you're actively involved with research? Or are you reading material they're providing to you?
