Location: EVERYWHERE
Summary: I want all the CR Kanaya is looking around
Warnings: None?

[Kanaya is wandering around the school grounds, wearing her new uniform. This place was so different from Alternia, and although she's seen Earth before, it's only been from behind a computer screen. The sun was different here and she wondered if the other trolls would enjoy it's rays. On the other hand, she didn't want them to experience it, that would be taking them away from their important mission.]

[She didn't sleep last night, or even spend last night in her dorm. Instead she spent the night reading the rulebook, it wasn't nearly as wordy as Rose's gameFAQ and she got through it easily. If she could collect 5 weapons she'd win the round, but besides memories and upgrades there didn't seem to be much gained for winning. No discernible way to get back.]

[For now she's just trying to familiar herself with her new surroundings, perhaps collect a few weapons along the way]

Comments

[grimauxilatrix]

A cultural exchange. I would not be against taking place in one. You appear different from the other humans I have encountered, and you are correct in assuming my intelligence. Though I cannot say it is a constant among all Trolls.

[ergaleomancer]

Mm, it would be nice if there was a species out there where intelligence was a constant. I wonder...why I seem different? Is it a personality difference, do you think? Or am I outright strange compared to the others?

[grimauxilatrix]

Intelligence cannot work as a constant. Without those with a lower mental state, the menial jobs of the land would never get done, as people would believe themselves to be too smart for such labor. I did not mean to come across as rude, if I did, you seem older than those I am used to communicating with. I do not know how aging works exactly on Earth, but I assume, if I may, that you are not thirteen.

[ergaleomancer]

Oh ho~! You really are devilishly clever~. But once a certain level of intelligence is reached amongst the population, those that are too stupid can always be eliminated~. We've replaced all the servants in my house with clockworks. It can be done on the national scale~.

I am, I'm nineteen, I'm an adult, while thirteen is still just a child. And you? Where in your species' life cycle are you?

[grimauxilatrix]

[she nods once] Once life progresses far enough intellectually the creation of non-organic life to replace all of the expendable life forms seems inevitable. Am I wrong in assuming that where you are from is close to that final step?

I am six solar sweeps, which seems to translate over to thirteen human years.

[ergaleomancer]

Unfortunately, there's other things holding us back from that even though it's the next logical step. I doubt the changes necessary to get us to that point will come in my lifetime, but perhaps in the next few generations the gears will turn far enough to carry out such work.

[grimauxilatrix]

How long is a human life and is it definite that the intelligence of this generation will be passed on to the next, or will it mostly die out with the death of those who posses it?

[ergaleomancer]

Human lifespans vary greatly, those from the upper class tend to live to between eighty and ninety, while those of the lower class pass on between forty and sixty on average.

We pass on knowledge by teaching, and those of the upper class are educated well, taking in lessons from their predecessors and expanding upon it, while those in the lower class... Well, I have no idea, really, some of them can't even read, but they at least have useful trades, some of them...

[[They're not her problem and she could care less about them. Guess who Theta wants to replace with clockworks.]]
