[You are in a jamjar. Like most jamjars, the vast majority of characters here are human or look human. But not you.

This makes roommate situations somewhat awkward sometimes... except with your new assigned roommate, whose eyes literally sparkle when she sees you.]

Oh...! I was definitely lucky with the room assignments this time. Nice to meet you!

[leafygreen]

I... see. And they just let you do that even though you'll probably die?

[abnormalizes]

Oh, they kill you themselves if you try to quit.

[leafygreen]

That seems both unfeeling and terribly inefficient.

[abnormalizes]

You'd think so, right?

[leafygreen]

What do they even gain from that approach?

[abnormalizes]

A lot of money, I guess? I don't know what's going on in the higher-ups' heads.

[leafygreen]

You'd think someone or something would have cursed them into ruin out of spite by now.

[abnormalizes]

Maybe we just don't have anyone that good at curses?

[leafygreen]

Maybe. I'd suggest unionizing, but they might solve that with murder, too.

[abnormalizes]

They totally would.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so depressing?

[leafygreen]

If your world is depressing, that's not your fault, though, right?

[abnormalizes]

It's not, but...

[leafygreen]

So it shouldn't be much of a worry, depressing people about it.

[abnormalizes]

I know that's true, but I'd still rather talk about fun things, you know?

[leafygreen]

Hmm, you've got a point. Well, what's fun about this place?

[abnormalizes]

Getting to meet new people!

[leafygreen]

Just that? Well, I suppose it makes sense, you are the friendly type. At least from what I see.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, I can be a lot friendlier than this if you want me to.

[leafygreen]

I think I'll take that as a confirmation, if it's all the same to you.

[abnormalizes]

Sorry. Tell me if I'm coming on too strong?

[leafygreen]

I'm not exactly sure I can tell how strong is too much. I suppose that comes with the territory when you're not sure whether you have emotions.

[abnormalizes]

I mean, I could try to get an emotional response out of you, but I'm not sure that would be a great way to test that...

[leafygreen]

Besides, who knows if it's just an imitation of what I've seen before? It's hard to empirically prove these things.

[abnormalizes]

Is it really that important? If you have imitation feelings, those are just as good as real feelings, I think.

[leafygreen]

It's a question of legitimacy. If they're not real, they can be more easily disregarded, so I want to prove it one way or the other.
