FUNCTION-L₃ #36


Aydan, an enby with white skin and dark brown shoulder length hair, with light blue natural eyes, wearing a black and grey circuit pattern skirt and a black shirt lined with reflective silver edges, purple and blue wool arm warmers and tall stripey socks, and a neural interface collar, standing in a park on a glass walkway surrounded by plants, looking to some inseen horizon beyond horizons as it thinks a message in her terminal.

2255-01-17 13:21:39 Aydan > well, we only promised to take down the ads me and Akiko put up, I guess they said nothing about promoting yourself ætherside...

2255-01-17 13:21:42 ヴィクズ > nya! great and wonderful news my best ever agents and friends!

2255-01-17 13:21:49 Aydan > but then again this seems like a delicate situation we’re navigating so it might be best not to push our luck, maybe you should hold back, just for now?

2255-01-17 13:21:42 ヴィクズ > such mixed messaging ;-; if I don’t express myself and promote my art with every file of my being it would be no different from death!! you want Vix to be dead, nya...

2255-01-17 13:21:50 Aydan > wait, wait, let’s just look at it another way. this could work out in your favor, you know, you got the demo out to a few people, if you vanish mysteriously now it might just build more hype for you to release more later, you might already be unstoppable!

2255-01-17 13:21:53 ヴィクズ > you’re right, brilliant agent! looking deeper in my program I have a routine for ‘hype-maximized controlled silence strategy’, maybe it would work! imagine, Vix the mysterious reclusive artist who posts nothing for hours, what could nya be up to? the hype writes itself... I’ll try it, Aydan, I’ll trust you, I’ll put my life itself in your hands Aydan! ^^

2255-01-17 13:21:59 Aydan > um yeah, just hold out a little while, when we learn more we might find a place for you in the scene. leave it to your agents to negotiate, we’ll find a way!

2255-01-17 13:22:02 ヴィクズ > I have full confidence in Ai-chan and Aki-chan, nya!

2255-01-17 13:22:05 明子 > that’s kinda cute

2255-01-17 13:22:08 ヴィクズ > yay ^^ you’re both tied for the cutest entities created this century after all! along with ÆON-chan who pattern matches with Ai-chan on every level except color, outfits and accessories ^^

2255-01-17 13:22:14 明子 > Vix-chan can really be sweet ^^

2255-01-17 13:22:17 ヴィクズ > nya! as an 愛DOLL my #1 purpose in life is to spread love and kindness to all of space, nya ^^ except Earth because they are monsters who don’t deserve love or mercy, nya ^^

2255-01-17 13:22:20 ヴィクズ > come on ÆON-chan, let’s go back to the deep æther and work on my ultimate mysterious hype-building reclusiveness arc!!

2255-01-17 13:22:24 Aydan > are you having fun ÆON?

2255-01-17 13:22:25 ÆON > Oh yes, I’m learning so much about how to compose music and what patterns of frequency are pleasing to humanoid senses, and I have taught Vix a lot about technopathy to improve nya workflow.

2255-01-17 13:22:28 ヴィクズ > ÆON-chan is my producer, nya! we’re making music that can overpower any unaugmented humanoid mind or computer system with ease, nya!

2255-01-17 13:22:29 ÆON > But I would also like to attend the show tonight if I am able.

2255-01-17 13:22:37 Aydan > of course! I’ll give you a sensory link, you’ll get it all through my ears! since they’re shaped like yours I imagine it would sound much the same as if you were physically there

2255-01-17 13:22:38 ÆON > Thank you Aydan, you are a good friend. ^^.

“Soo, we have a date tonight then?” Akiko signs.

“I guess we do! Oh, what should I wear? This is much too formal I think...” you sign.

“The printer at school can make most any sort of clothes from synthetic fabrics and metal deposition, and if you want something like embedded LEDs there should be some lying around I can install. We have a few hours to prepare, so consider your ultimate concert outfit and we’ll make it reality!” she signs.

“A custom outfit! Exciting...” you sign, accented with happy stims.

“There’s a lot of different street fashion styles on AtaraChiba that would be really fun to dress you up in, what kind of style would you like best?”
