000.030 - Missing something important
It is soft and squishy and warm. And organic, must not forget organic.

What a difference to my normal form. Everything is so... empty. I found myself trying to run a self-diagnostic only to realize that I don't have access to even the most simple of function controls. Nearly everything runs without my needing to re-calibrate anything. Not that I made a habit of doing that before, but at least I could do it if I so desired. Now? Not a chance.

The center of balance it definitely not where I assume it to be, which makes it a bit difficult to move from point A to point B. I will not mention the interesting piece of acrobatics I did while attepting to walk. That hurt, by the way.

Anyway, I seem to be missing my body. The specs are as followed: *a long string of numbers, letters and strange symbols*

If you would be so nice and tell me where I can find it, I'd be very grateful.

Oh, and Midvalley. If you are wondering where your body is, I have it.

	Hi there Sparky. I have a quick question for ya. Maybe you could help me out here. No big deal, really. Just a small thing. HOW the HELL do I turn your weapons off?! {ooc: Cox? Freaking out? Naaaaaaaah~} (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[OOC: g] You keep your cool and calm down. That will deactivate the 'adrenaline' induced fight instinct. Just calm, you know. Deep zen, with a sprinkling of Yoda. Once you've managed that I'll explain the rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You expect me to calm down when my body was replaced with this piece of metal?! I had my body exactly the way I wanted it too! The abs especially, those were hard to do! Ok. Ok, calm. I can do calm. ...Ok. ... How do I keep these things from going off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Now, go into sub-routine Sigma Gamma Delphi, code index Tri-ax Sul. You should see it blinking in the left corner of your view screen. Found it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coxtastic 2008-06-14 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	This blinking thing that jumps around every time a weapon goes off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly that one. You'll see a glyth under it. Looks a bit like a triangle crossed with a fish. That you need to activate. This'll get you into my maintenance diractory. Normally only medics can enter it, but get repaired often enough and you learn some basic firewall tweaking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coxtastic 2008-06-16 08:30 am UTC (link)
	Triangle Fish. Got it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Now that you are in the maintenance directory you only have to do one thing to keep your weapons form activating. Say: medical emergency, level zeta. And voila, weapons off-line. Of course, now the body thinks you're on the brink of death due to a severe energy deprivation, but you won't be able to shoot anything to the next star system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Great. Now how do I stay upright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-17 12:52 am UTC (link)
	You do it the same way you'd do it in your own body. Don't think about doing it. Count prime numbers if you need to but don't think about something that is as instinctual to us both as breathing is for you. Close your eyes. Relax. And everything will go very smooth. You'll either stand or revert into alt-mode. Whatever's more 'natural' to your systems at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Midvalley, huh? At least you got someone else from Niflheim. I'm an Asgard pussy. A literal female. shudders (Reply to this) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	You have my condolences. This a very strange feeling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-14 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	In my regular body, I avoided being female unless it was imperative. This is just...wrong. So what's it feel like to be a bag of bones. You glad this is only going to be for one day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	It's only for one day? Thank Chaos. It's squishy. Squishy and slow and so... silent it nearly makes me nervous. I thought I missed being connected to the networks before, I was wrong. This is worse. How can you stand being so alone in your head? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-14 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	It is pretty bad, huh? I wouldn't know - I'm still human here. But yeah....squishy. Sounds about right. Whoever said I was alone? ...I guess it's not that bad. You keep yourself company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Ah well, I'll get used to it. Either that or go a bit crazy from lonliness. Which ever happens first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 08:03 am UTC (link)
	sigh Just keep talkin' to me. You won't die of loneliness - I've got a big mouth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 12:02 pm UTC (link)
	That is a good thing to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	What - that you won't die of loneliness or that I've got a big mouth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	Both, to tell the truth. I find it a comforting thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I guess I'm glad to help out. Even though I don't find dying of loneliness to be that comforting of a thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, I meant it's comforting that you remind me of home. Though not dying is a nice thing as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. I'm surprised I remind you so much of home. It's...well, it's not what I expected. Not dying's okay, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	...I guess I'm flattered. Thanks. You ain't so bad yourself. But don't go telling anybody I said that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't dream of it. After all if would damage the reputation, and reputation is sometimes the only thing one still has that is of worth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, now. I'm more than just a reputation. It generally goes without saying, but I'm pretty good with that killing stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't mean it that way. It is just that many people believe that someone who's good at killing is not good with the sensitive stuff, like feelings etc. I probably got so used to camouflage these things in the war that I'm now making a right fool out of myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. Well, I'm not good at that stuff, true. It's not that you're making a fool out of yourself. You're better at it than most, honestly. ...Don't expect me to get emotional over it, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	It's ok. Some people are better suited for the 'ice queen' act than others. Not that I think you resemble a figure from a fairy tale. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-16 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	I can deal with ice queen, since you cut out the fairy tale part. What would you class yourself as? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-16 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Going by human stories, I'd have to say Hades. That guy has some sweet style. But going by all the stories I know, it'll have to be the Dancer of Srf'ylr. 'And the demon came to embrace the dancer, forever yearning for that sweet touch. In fight and longing, in blood and steel. A dancers soul burning forever more.' I'll tell you the whole story if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rascal_phoenix 2008-06-17 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Hades, eh? Yeah, that bitch was tight. And that's...pretty. A pretty interesting tidbit. But it suits you. Sure, tell it to me. I got time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I was wondering where my body was just a little! I appear to be a chick. A chick whose hands do not remember how to play the saxophone, which was making me fairly pissy to be honest.

However, if this is only temporary, well, a person could have some fun with this. I'm just saying...

My condolences on your being alone in your head, though, friend. I guess I was just... used to it.

At least you have my body and you're unlikely to hurt it. Thanks for that.

I'll take good care of your body, promise.

Oh man, that must really suck, not being able to play.

Yeah. Well, you're used to the silence and I can probably get a little used to it as well. On the other hand, you'd probably go insane if you'd have the thousands of comm lines running through your processor that I am used to.

And what kind of fun are you talking about?

I trust you, Jazz.

I... don't think I could ever get used to thousands of ... voices. But it must be hard to get used to not having them too.

I believe I'm Emerald. And she can sing, at least, so there's some music.

[Private to Jazz]Oh, just... there are certain things I've never experienced from the female side of things, if you get my drift. Then again, Emerald might be pretty mad at me if she found out I was, well, partying in her body.[/Private]

Yeah, I understand that. Now, thinking about it, I regret it a little that I did not land in a female as well. It would have made an interesting piece of education.

Though on the other hand, now I know how deficient my avatar was in replicating how the real thing feels. I wasn't aware that one can hear the blood flow through one's veins, how much the weight of the limbs pulls you down. All these things. It's a totally new frontier for me.

That would be a shame if Emerald would get angry with you.

	[Private to Jazz] It's educational all right. I really never thought about it but... it's very different. No offense but I'm a little amused at the idea that you're experiencing my body in particular. I could ask her if she minds, but it's an awfully personal question... though I imagine you're curious too. [/Private] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silverknight 2008-06-14 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	coded for privacy Amused? By my feeling your body from the inside? To tell you the truth, if you were of my kind that would be normal. It happens to a degree when uplinking. For a very short moment, but it happens. Ask away, if you want. I open to all suggestons. end privacy code (Reply to this) (Parent)
