11/05 — ΣHeartless Snaring Cathedral...?

[userunfriendly]

Who: █████ & visitors
What: scheming
Where: Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground (Hulle Granz Cathedral)
When: Sunday, 11/05
Warnings: to be added


[ Despite the ominous aura, the haunted tower has seen no shortage of visitors recently. But for those who gate in today the air itself is different. The skies are black, and the mist that had blanketed only the top of the tower now pours out across the plains, shrouding the ruined city from sight.

Anyone who goes looking for the master of the tower will find that the room he occupied before now holds only a single door, standing unsupported in the middle of the room. It beckons, tugging with a terrible compulsion — you know whatever sight awaits you is one you'll later wish you could forget, and yet... you look. But the door opens only onto the bridge leading to Hulle Granz Cathedral, where the first quiet strains of choral music through the open doors guides you on. ]

((Note: Characters are welcome to receive the location from any other player and gate directly to Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. Allowing those who found his tower inaccessible to come join, too, is cruelty.))

There. That is how you may know that you're human. You ascribe to logic whatever is emotionally convenient to you.

[justonezero]

-?

You "programs" are the ones who have been doing that, though.

[userunfriendly]

That is not the case.

[ NO U??? ]

Or are you...?

[justonezero]

Aren't you all trying to bend things so they fit into the criteria of what you're studying?

[userunfriendly]

No. We are sorting the data we are given, according to our parameters

[ That's different, somehow. ]

[justonezero]

...But sometimes the data isn't what you think it should be.

[userunfriendly]

There is no "should." Imprecision in the data will eventually build a more complete model. Stochastic noise.

...And if it's truly been mislabeled, the responsibility is on the data source.

[ aka humans stop being confusing challenge ]

[justonezero]

Not on the analyst?!

[userunfriendly]

No. I learn based on the information I am given. A human is an analyst. An algorithm only processes and applies. Do you still not understand...?

[justonezero]

...

Guess it's pretty hard to make a good program out of a person...

[userunfriendly]

...I don't want to hear that from you. Say those words to yourself first.

[justonezero]

Doesn't that just make me a failure at two different things?

[Haha!]

[userunfriendly]

Yes. Most likely. Perhaps pick a third occupation to fail at.

[ This one. Disrupting his processing to the very last minute. ]

[justonezero]

I'll try to think of one.

...Isn't it about time for you to go?

[userunfriendly]

Yes. I reached my own conclusions. And he reached his. We'll see if he has the courage to shoulder that cruelty after all.

[justonezero]

...Hehehe. So we'll get to see him after all.

[Told youuuuuuu.]

[userunfriendly]

So you might.

[justonezero]

...Goodbye, Gorre.
