What for?

[ but complying, reaching into the bucket and touching the metal heart ]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[When you touch the metal, there is no memory. It’s cold and unfeeling.

It’s completely empty, and it drains you a little of your own emotions.]

[ takes his hand off of it, and responds, dully. ]

Mission complete. Was there a point to that exercise?

Touch something else.

[ DROPS IT ]

We're rebuilding him, March! Flesh one is fucking obsessive, machine one is emotionally dead. We use the latter one.

[... fiddles with an eyeball]

You are doing the work.

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[No memories are imparted this time.]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[acquest]

Fine. While I put the heart in, check what the difference between the two brains are.

Re: [Trauma Central]

[adisaster]

[.... ugh really

gross

BUT I GUESS. heading to check the mechanical one]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[The mechanical one has that same sense of coolness, calculating and uninfluenced by any emotion at all. Contact is emotion draining.

Because if we drained your intelligence we'd have nothing left.]

[ YOU ARE THE ONE THAT DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY OF THE WORK. SO YOU GET TO DO THE EASY PART

FINISHES HEART AND OKAY I'M GOING TO CHECK THE FLESH ONE WHILE GIL DOES THAT ]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[He's a bunch of neurosis really, a thought pattern scattered and abnormal, all his hopes and dreams and terrors and paranoia wrapped up in an organ that has everything Alice didn't overwhelm.]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[acquest]

[ :|a do I put this back.

or give him no brain at all.

Or maybe that won't make a difference, maybe that is status quo. :|a

. . . hey, Dor, what happens if we leave a part out?

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

Nothing...?

Re: [Trauma Central]

[adisaster]

[...

letting go of the mechanical brain]

We're not using this one.

Re: [Trauma Central]

[acquest]

Status quo is shit, so the other it is!

Re: [Trauma Central]

[adisaster]

What next...? Flesh legs?

Re: [Trauma Central]

[acquest]

It's his heart, not his real fucking body. Who knows if replacing those will do any good, or if we're being fucking timed here. Let's leave that for last.

Liver and organs!

[ FLESH BUCKET ]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[You touch the flesh and organs-

FUCK THE EXISTENCE OF FOLIAGE.

It’s a memory of frustration, fear and self-preservation. He didn’t see that coming.]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[adisaster]

Ah... I suppose.

[i hope you're touching the fleshy things because i'm not

CHECK MECHANICAL ONES??? if there are...]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[remarch]

[There are. Emotions hit, again. Honestly you're starting to feel robotic...]

Re: [Trauma Central]

[acquest]

[ oh, so there's the context of what happened that first time with hatter, back when I still cared about people fucking with March ]

Fear, frustration, self-preservation: in other words all shit he can do without! Mechanical version, pass them over.
