[ no preamble, just right to the chase: ]

How many of you are non-human?

And of you non-humans, how many of you are robotic in some way?

And for those who are derived from robotics, how did that Chroma stuff generating affect your systems the first time you experienced it?

I've not experienced an energy like this before and data is hard to come by unless you're some type of human. They all seem to suggest it's some kind of energy powered by "love and friendship" or "the ancient gods from the moon" some other inane bullcrap. [ he... may have stopped listening when the answer wasn't one he could grasp... ] I don't buy that. I wanna know what vehicle it operates through and how both humans and inorganics can experience it.

It should also go without saying that humans shouldn't bother replying. Your input is useless to me.

[ what a charming fellow... ]

I'm not human.

And while I don't know much about robotics specifically Chroma seems to operate somewhat similarly to an element that exists where I'm from.

If you're not human, then what are you?

And that's really vague. You're gonna have to give me more detail than that.

Savra. Where I'm from there aren't humans in general that I've heard of.

There's a mineral called Originium that's used as an energy source and as a catalyst for abilities called Arts, mostly in weapons. The way I've seen Chroma work seems pretty similar to how Arts can be used and manipulated. Originium also forms in crystals like the ones around here but I haven't been able to figure out if they're using the crystals here in of any of the technology.

"Savra." Never heard of that. Not surprised.

Hmm. But that's derived from a mineral. Chroma doesn't appear to be derived from anything. Unless I'm missing something.

There are many here who are not limited by humanity. I am, of course, one such individual. Your frustration with the foolishness of this world is understandable. However, I am afraid you have not been mislead about the nature of this world's power source.

What are you, then?

And you're trying to tell me that this "Chroma" is generated by what amounts to magic? That sounds like bullshit.

I am a vampire.

As for what generates it, I could not venture to say. I find your choice of words curious, though. Do you, somehow, simply not believe magic capable of such things? Much like I lack humanity's limitations, sorcery lacks the limitations of technology.

A vampire. Like one of those bloodsuckers from human literature?

It's not that I believe it's not capable, it's that I don't believe in it at all.

I am not human. But I can't say I know a damn thing about robots. The chroma seems similar to a sort of spectral energy called youki, or reiki as the humans call their own spirit power, that youkai like myself possess where I'm from. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like chroma can be weaponized — so that's boring. I'm none too impressed, frankly. It's just money with extra perks — or extra obstacles, however you see it.

I'm getting the feeling that there aren't many here that know a damn thing about robots.

What you're saying is equating it to spirits? Like ghosts?

eh ghosts are marginally relevant but yeah they’re around. I mean youkai. Demons. Apparitions. Humans call us all sorts of things. But no, not ghosts; I’m very much alive and have been for quite some time, at least by human standards, ha.

Even if you're an ass and I'm human, it's worth letting you know that you can get that energy by touch in general. Including sparring and fighting.

I mostly do the latter and I'm fine.

I was waiting to see if there'd be a human who'd stick their nose in where they're not wanted.

Just goes to show that you humans just can't fathom not being seen or heard.

Not at all. I just wanted to drop some information that most don't seem to be aware of.
You didn't seem to be aware of it, either, so I figured it would be helpful.

Might surprise you, but all humans aren't the same.
If you don't want to talk to me? I'm out. Said what I felt you might need to know and that's that.

I am not human. Not robotic in any way either. Chroma is energy generated from any mutually consenting physical contact with another being not of this world.

What are you if not human?

I understand what they're telling us it is, I want to know what it actually is.

Youkai. Thus far, the energy appears to be exactly what they say it is, and everything I've studied with Lunar Scientia also supports that.

Only half human. I have the body of a demon.

There was some energy in the world I was in that resembled Chroma called Magatsuhi, but it was made from strong emotions. Stronger demons had more magatsuhi, but humans are the ones that produced the most of it. Figured this might be something similar.

[So not love and friendship, just emotions in general.]

A lot of "demons" here, it seems.

That doesn't sound any more believable than "moon magic," to me.

Believable when you get a parasite put into your eye to turn you into one.

I suppose seeing is believing. Can't really prove anything except when I summon my demon companions. Or when I breathe fire out of my mouth.

A question.

Am I qualified to answer if I was human at a time, but cast that aside?

Edited 2020-07-31 07:24 (UTC)

What do you mean "cast that aside?"

If you "were" human, you "are" human.

Unless you're cybernetic of some sort. Still human, in my book.

[Who has two thumbs, is completely human outside of the moon cycles, and is responding to this despite the friendly warning? That's right. It's this girl.]

Useful data is pretty difficult to come by regardless of who or what you are.

For what it's worth, I'm human, but the mech I pilot doesn't seem to be compatible with the energy generated by this place. Are you finding that it interferes with the way you function?

And what difference would it make to you if it does or doesn't? Whatever my symptoms are wouldn't apply to you.

Not to me, no. I'm just a boring human.

I'm trying to figure out if it's universal to all mechanically-based lifeforms, or if there's something about Green specifically that doesn't agree with this planet's energy.
