No kidding. Have you seen Zhanlu walking around? It's been so nice to have him back.
[ their butler slash killer mech... bixing seems very happy with this. he taps out a message absently on his device, so aiba gets a little ping that reads Hello, Aiba! 🥰 ]
He is. He's a mech core - he powers a mech about ten times as large as D.va's, but, he can take other forms. He transitions between tech, too - in here, in Lin's hand, in cars... If he can take over the neural network that powers these things, he can get into them.
[ the eye is fine. this is eighth shit.
also lbx doesn't have zhanlu but i decided at this moment he decided to do a little techy hop for a bit so he can be here in the personal device.
So kinda like when I plug Aiba in to charge, only when I do that she becomes my entire car. Something like that? The core’s like… the part that makes him him?
[ he may not be a computer nerd, but he does know the concept of what aiba is and how she functions within herself, to a point. ] It’s probably a good thing she can’t hook herself up to something and become it though.
I certainly have more freedom of expression within a Somnium.
Exactly. [ lu bixing looks approving at date when he connects the dots, pleased. ] Though, for Zhanlu, it's wireless. He doesn't need to be connected to anything to take on a neural network except for Lin. Think of it a little like being downloaded.
[ you wouldn't download a car you'd download an AI into a car briefly
the second part makes bixing laugh, though. ] I don't know, it might be fun. I'm glad I got the chance to see a little of you in a Somnium, Aiba. I think that sort of technology's utterly fascinating; it's some of the closest I've seen to things we've had at home since we've gotten here, if completely and utterly different.
My car has a charging port in the wheel for Aiba, but ... I can still drive it.
It is easier for me to move around in the Somnium space, as can project myself through the Psync Machine's system. Date is still a physical presence in the real world -- while he is mentally able to be present, it is easier for an AI assistant to move through the space than it would be for him.
That makes sense. It's sort of like a neural network. [ heh. ] You'd love the Eighth. You know, I could probably build some tech over to get you a presence that's semi tangible in the regular world, if you really wanted one. [ a pause. ] Well, if Date thought that was a good idea.
... [ honestly? date looks as though he thinks this could be the start of the worst headache of his life. ]
While it would be quite interesting to have a semi tangible appearance occasionally, I am quite satisfied with the extent of my forms. I am able to project myself through Date's left vision and interact with the world in that manner. It provides me a semblence of anonymity as well.
[ bixing's eye is. healing. i guess. in terms of the city and its healing or whatever. however date may feel the implication of a wink. ]
Guess you're off the hook. [ teasing!!! don't make such a face.
anyway: ] Of course, of course! Nothing wrong with that. And - [ a little more excited, putting his chin in his hand. ] If it's not too forward, I'd love to get a look at your programming sometime.
[ new and improved quick healing injuries! yaaaay! ]
It’s enough having her in my eye judging me all the time, I don’t need it constant and physical and where more people than just me can see it.
[ a nightmare ]
You would probably enjoy speaker with my creator. He knows many things about my my database and the Wadjet system and the detail that went into creating me. I can certainly provide an overview, if you would like as he is neither here, dead, nor readily available in general. I believe he was shoved in a locker, last I saw him.

[ date's left eye moves by itself (herself) for a moment, which is probably very weird to see but date doesn't seem bothered by it. ]
