HOLED UP


You and whoever replies to you are stuck together after falling in a hole.

You're in a deep, dark pit that you can't climb out of easily, and you're trapped together. Maybe it was a trapping pit, maybe it was an open manhole cover, maybe an uncovered well or elaborate secret trap in a spooky house - but whatever the cause was, you two fell for it. Literally.

I mean... Isn't the route just "up?"

[ he's probably taking her too literally, but that's how it is with Roxas. He's rubbing his chin and staring upwards, as if an idea might suddenly drop down on his head, too. ]

[humainity]

That is correct, though it's more the "how" than the "where".

[ They're pretty far down and she cannot fly. ]

[unsummered]

Okay...

[ he sounds less than convinced. sorry, sophia... ]

Got any ideas?

[humainity]

I think maybe I can try to climb up? Or send a distress signal to someone's device if I can find one within range...

[ Climbing up will not go so hot. ]

[unsummered]

A distress signal...? You can do that?

[ wrow ]

[humainity]

Yes. I am an AI, after all.

[ Sophia he might not know what that is-- ]

[unsummered]

What's that mean?

[ he's only a baby... his voice is tinged with suspicion, however. Not suspicion of Sophia, but suspicion that - once again - his coworkers didn't tell him something important. ]

[humainity]

An AI is an artificial intelligence who was made by a human. So you could say I'm something like a tool to help people...?

[ She's very used to explaining this, it's okay. ]

[unsummered]

Okay. Kind of like a computer, then...?

[ he knows what that is!! ]

[humainity]

Yes, exactly! I'm a smaller computer.

[unsummered]

You look pretty big for a computer to me.

[ he's never seen one that's shaped like a human, either... mysterious. ]

[humainity]

I mean on the inside! If I don't have access to the network, the only information I have is what I've retained and what I learn from experiencing.

[ yeah he's valid, most computers don't look like humans. ]

Either way, most computers also can't climb out of holes, but I guess most computers wouldn't be in a hole in the first place...
