[bird!! bird tips its head down, you can pet if you like?]

I suppose the matters of practicality are the obvious things to consider when it comes to choosing an assistant. But you can also simply follow what your heart tells you.

[pets the bird!!!]

I do not have much of a preference when it comes to aesthetics, so following my heart is a little difficult.

[weenwoon]

[He laughs, happily! Bird meanwhile makes a roboty beep, but a Pleased one. yes pet bird]

Much like myself, really! I was having trouble choosing something, too. And when asked about it, I said that I like too many things to choose any particular one. I was told to choose anything then, but... doesn't it still make you want to choose something that will feel right to you? Something meaningful, perhaps, even if the meaning is really small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things?

[fun questions to ask elidibus!]

[rainshaveceased]

...I wonder what something like that would be for me.

[just going to keep petting bird]

[levity is about to be Helpful]

Why not something to symbolize your love for our people? Or... as the Emissary, your devotion to harmony? Of course, it's not that your duty needs to define all of your life. I've chosen a bird for my assistant based on a memory I took, and then picked a particular species based on their character. Corvids are intelligent and playful - something of a reflection of myself, in a sense. But if you do not remember who you were, or don't feel ready to remember... you can start with who you are right now.

[rainshaveceased]

[oh that is actually very helpful]

...That does make quite a bit of sense.

[weenwoon]

[AND THE MOST NOT ENTIRELY USELESS AWARD OF THE YEAR GOES TOOOOOOOOO]

I'm glad! And like I said, you can change the way your assistant looks if you change your mind. If you'd like, we can visit the zoo, so you could take inspiration from actual flora and fauna? Although, of course, it's not that you need to do so. Your assistant can be quite humanoid.

[just make it zodiark. problem fucking solved.]

[rainshaveceased]

[he is not going to base his robot buddy on god??? that would be weird???]

Ah, actually- there is a kind of flora that I am a little fond of.

[weenwoon]

[!! eyes emoji]

Oh? Do tell!

[rainshaveceased]

Are you familiar with sabotenders?

[weenwoon]

[HOLY SHIT... CACTUS BUDDY FOR ELIDIBUS.............]

The name does seem to ring a bell...

[Squints thoughtfully... listen like 90% of his memories are just Bureau Bullshit surely there have been sabotender concepts.]

[rainshaveceased]

They are these strange little cactus creatures that attack with bursts of spikes. And there is a rather beautiful variety that grows on the moon.

[weenwoon]

[oh my fucking GOD.]

Ah! And it's this moon variety that you like?

[rainshaveceased]

Indeed. I recall watching them quite often.


[while hanging out on the moon being sad, as one does,]

[weenwoon]

[sometimes ur only friends are your dissociative disorder and really weird stretched out cacti men on the moon]

Then perhaps you could model your assistant after one of them? I'd love to see it!

[rainshaveceased]

I will definitely consider it, at least.

[weenwoon]

Ahh, I want to see what one looks like, now... Maybe you could draw me a picture?

[Also, note to self, buy Elidibus cacti]

[rainshaveceased]

I can do better than that.

[takes out his phone and buys a memory replay! it's just him hanging out on the moon being sad and watching the wildlife amble about. mostly the lunatenders.]

1/2 maybe

[weenwoon]

[sir quick question what the FUCK are those]

2/?

[weenwoon]

[but actually................ they ARE so weird. Maybe that's the cute part. He does recall being charmed by weird as fuck creations.]

3/

[weenwoon]

[they're so long... and they do ballet poses...............




the more he thinks about it the more he can see Elidibus's point really.]

done.

[weenwoon]

[but also there's a very important question here.]

Does everything become longer on the moon? Is that why you are taller in the memory?

Re: done.

[rainshaveceased]

...

That is not the reason, no.

[weenwoon]

[have u tried not being small]

Ah... a different body, then?

[rainshaveceased]

No body at all, in fact.
