[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: Okay, so first off - I will be reading back through the existing chat here, though it shouldn't take me long. Just wanted to also indicate that I'm around in the meantime.
(About ten minutes later)
[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: For the friend I'll be looking after, it looks like you have a pretty good coverage of adoptions so I will go with the tortulent as they haven't been picked yet - I'm interested in seeing if different types of friends have distinct personalities from each other, or if the species types are cosmetic and don't affect whatever is driving them - be it mere glitched coding from Digital's ability or true 'living' intelligence.
[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: Also I am aware I may sound - clinical, maybe? Mechanical is a word I see a lot. I do care, I am just in analysis mode at the moment while processing all of this. I can assure you my interactions with my adopted friend will be warmer. Ah, assuming... well, we'll handle that when we get there.
[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: Let's just say I don't at all doubt that Digital's ability did something with the code that led to exceptionally interesting results (calling it haunted seems appropriate enough for now, despite possible negative connotations - not all hauntings are cause for distress), and I can relate to the little things on a personal level... I could be described as something of a ghost in the machine myself.
(added much later)
[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: ...has anyone tried reaching out to the tester that stormed out? I saw a reference to friends being able to leave their - 'home' game instance, I guess?
[CRYSTALLINE_DREAMS]: What. Actually happens, if the friends get neglected. Like how would they know they can go somewhere else - has anyone asked one of them about it yet? How would they get somewhere else?
