I'm certainly the best at being an android in this entire group chat. Which is a voteless wasteland where everyone's authority begins and ends at its boundaries, apparently. I think I'll call myself the Master Warden of Androids. Has a ring to it.
I don't know what we would vote on in this group chat. Who's in charge? That's a terrible idea, the bar for leadership quality in here is in the ground. No offense to anyone.
Okay, I know we're just doing goofs and japes here, but. I could probably get behind Paul as a leader. Like, if we absolutely needed one. But the idea of someone being the admin of this whole group chat who actually, like, enforces rules and shit? No thanks. I'm fine with this being a lawless wasteland.
Well, see, here's the secret. We fill this thing up with enough bullshit that he'll never be able to keep track of it all, and we can bury whatever we want in the middle of all of it. Weaponized shitposting to hide the idea of giving sincere compliments to anyone.
No, no, I like that. NM probably doesn't like competition for his title so you gotta be the Master Warden of SOMETHING. Probably some stiff competition with Gideon in the cool guy field, but I trust two cool guys like you can sort that out by having some kind of cool-off.
You also didn't suck me into a river of blood and force me to watch my ex decompose 40 minutes after I washed up. I'm willing to break with neutrality to call you objectively the better Warden.
We could probably find prescription sunglasses for you if you really needed them. Seems weird the Sixth didn't think of them.
Oh, you know. Someone who looks just a little too cool to be a regular person. Like they were designed to appeal to other people instead. Maybe they have white hair, maybe they have a really cool sword or an eyepatch. Maybe they've got some convoluted tragic backstory or something. Don't know where I could find someone to use as an example, though...
Oh, it REALLY depends on the anime. There's classics, there's like space opera and shit like that. Fantasy westerns, steampunk stuff with alchemy, you know. Varied casts of characters with different motivations, distinct designs and voices and stuff. But then you get stuff like... I Can't Believe I Woke Up as a Worker Ant and the Queen is a Hot High School Girl????. And I am not even stretching the truth very far for that one.
Not that I've ever really watched a lot of it or anything. I just used to be really, really online.
It's way, way closer to a real one than it should be. It's part of this genre called isekai, where basically a normal person (usually someone from modern-day Japan) gets sucked into a completely different world and has to figure out how to adjust to their life. Sometimes they're a prophesied ruler for the world they get sucked into, sometimes they accidentally propose to a nobleman because they dropped a piece of silverware, sometimes they fall in love with a wolf spirit. Sometimes the new world is metaphorical and they just end up awoken to a whole sublayer of reality that they never even knew existed. That's usually supernatural stuff, whether it's demon hunting or becoming a zombie idol group.
But again, I don't know much about anime and I'm not a nerd.
I've read enough Sixth novels to know where most of these are going. Have you talked to any nerds who know any good anime to watch? Purely off the dome that you can remember from other people.
Oh yeah, no, there's like. We've got one called Allsteel Transmutation about a kid and his brother trying to use alchemy to find their dead mom. That one's a classic if you're into political intrigue and the Seven Deadly Sins. Look for Bloodline, there's one that's just called Allsteel Transmutation that's also okay but Bloodline follows the actual story way more closely. Then there's Wrangler Rocksteady, which is like. Bounty hunters flying through space, kind of found family stuff, comedy, noir... it's a classic, honestly. Don't worry about the name. And I guess for newer stuff, I heard a lot of good things about Hacksawdude, but I never read it myself. Really gory, but it's supposed to have one of the best written stories of our time.
The names might be a little different when you look them up. Noticed the Omni tends to do that, but the stories are the same.

I like it, though. It's classy.

Neutrally. This chat should remain undisciplined, you're right.

But sure, hold on, let me think. Call me... Master Warden of Cool Guys.
[no, that's nothing.]

I can't wear sunglasses, so she's going to win.

And in fairness, we can't go outside in the sun on the Sixth. Even with the sunglasses, our skulls would still melt our ears.

Hold on, let me math some stuff out.
Which I can do really fast, because I'm a neural net processor. A learning computer.
no subject
Wear two pairs of sunglasses.

Probably the same place I got my arm etched.
Seems like they'd know some cool stuff about how to shape and tint glass.
Imagine walking around with, like, bright silver sunglasses or something. Looking like an anime character.
