do you like them feeling tingly?

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

and what will you do if it doesn’t work? if it fails?

[slowly the hologram walks over, keeping her eyes turned away the whole time. thankfully she wasn’t a physical organic being, that way she couldn’t knock anything over or off where they’re set.]

why do you care about how i feel? i’m nothing more than a program, a set of ones and zeros.

[the hologram occasionally flickers, the blue-skinned woman looking off to the side.]

i……i don’t know how i feel. i’ve never thought about it before.

[folding her arms under her modest chest.

toni why did you design her like this?]

i’m doing as well as you tell me to do.

i don’t, but i’m sure there is a version of me out there in the multiverse that does.

well, considering i’m an artificial intelligence that was made by someone else, i suppose it’s a little bit of both?

ha. good one.

i suppose i am.

that’s because i am.

……is it not obvious?

[blink blink.]

what?
