It was decidedly easy to see that Andrea's smile was fake, but it didn't matter to Ldeya. Socialisation and friendship were more of the pointless things society held dear. Perhaps Andrea was a little more interesting than the clueless ones still pretending their life had purpose. Acting, after all, she could respect. A little.

Andrea huffs and glares at the others in the auditorium. “I’d rather be sleeping, Ldeya. This is a very poorly planned graduation”

What was this? Jealousy?
Phoebes had thought they were similar to one another, and perhaps by getting close to such individual Phoebes would finally crack the code to become human. So what was this?
Phoebes knits her eyebrows. She wasn't exactly offended as she has been rejected in methods way worse to the one Persephone did, but she wasn't exactly happy. Should she be gracious that she has been let go rather gently this time?
"..At least I didn't get slapped this time."
Phoebes muttered, her voice filled with make shift grievances that sounded so real that it almost seems like she was actually wronged. Her hand rested on her check reminiscing on the phantom pain of the past.
Right! She should be positive and be happy of the improvement that she wasn't at least slapped or kicked away like a rag doll this time around! This was ground-breaking improvement!
The drooping ahoge of hers suddenly popped up as if it had all of the sudden regained life, and her red petaled eyes twinkled with motivation as she stared at Persephone's far away back.
Cupping her hands around her mouth, Phoebes yelled across the halls.
"Persephone if we graduate together promise me that you'll call me Fifi okay! So before then, I'll gatekeep this nickname just for ya!" It was a promise not just for Persephone, but also a promise to herself that she was going to debunk whatever the thing called 'Human Emotions' were by the end.

Many lamented that her intelligence was a waste on her. She ignored them.
"Indeed. Perhaps the supposedly Graduation Quest would be more exciting."

A bored yawn, before she spoke up again “Hopefully it’s exciting. I don’t expect to waste my time here” Andrea rummages in her luggage, pulling out a bottle of hard liquor that probably…likely wasn’t included in the packing list. She poured herself a glass, and handed another to Ldeya. “Cheers. Hope I- we don’t die of boredom”

Perhaps the singular counter to Ldeya's intelligence was alcohol.
Congratulations Andrea, you've officially won her heart!
If there was anything to win, of course.
Still, she was definitely interested. This girl who seemed to be as bored as she was, and as tired of society's odd ideologies.
Or, this girl who pretended to be.
She was more interested in why Andrea bothered acting with everyone.
"Why does it matter what others think of you?"
She stretched lazily, and said it like any other question.

Andrea chuckles dryly. She could sense Ldeya wasn’t the type to care about public appearances, and she honestly respected that. But as much as she shared the same beliefs, she also had her other motivations
Posted: Sat, 27/07/2024 10:07 (4 Months ago)
Ldeya had been told many things. She was smart, charming, beautiful. So?
That was perhaps the question she asked everyone and everything.
So?
So what did it matter how you lived your life?
She could see the many similarities between Andrea and herself, but unlike Andrea, she never bothered to use her natural gifts. What motivated the other girl? Why did she choose to bother with life?
And if she had a good reason, would that reason suffice for herself?

Andrea asks, looking up as Ldeya. She lazily waved her hands, bringing one of her dolls to life and taking the wine glass it presented. She hands it to Ldeya and pours her another drink, before sighing
I like to experiment, see. The human mind works in curious ways and there’s so much untapped potential within all of us.
Andrea brushed the doll’s hair as she spoke, before lifting it up to show Ldeya two very lifelike eyes in the doll’s face, in place of where the normal drawn on or plastic eyes would be.

"The human mind, hmm? Is there anything worth discovering?"
She remained doubtful. There wasn't anything she'd seen that could truly qualify as interesting enough to warrant effort, much less in people. Most people were easily fooled, clueless and like leaves clinging onto tree branches. Dead already, just not wanting to admit it.
Others held a semblance of understanding that there was only so much goodness in the world, and only so much value morals and ideals could bring you.

I do research, as you can probably guessed. Started off with plants and stuff. But humans are far more interesting. Intelligent not so much, but interesting…well I’d say they’re plenty interesting. So much to pick apart and discover. I learn something new every time.
Andrea smiled, the thought of her research finally drawing out a genuine smile from her
Posted: Sat, 27/07/2024 11:53 (4 Months ago)
Besides, she had time to waste, and nothing to lose.
"Care to show me?"

Andrea lets out a sharp chuckle, downing the last of the wine
“I like you. You’re the first I’ve ever known who’s shared my beliefs. Sure, not all of them, but almost no one gets me. They say I should be put in a hospital”
She laughs again, a smile on her face.
“You don’t find us humans interesting, Ldeya?”
Posted: Sat, 27/07/2024 12:20 (4 Months ago)
When she sat up again, a little smirk played across her lips.
"You in a hospital? Then who would I have to talk to?"
She seemed to genuinely contemplate the thought.
"I must admit, you're more interesting than most people I've met. Perhaps your experiments would prove even more so. But are humans really so interesting? Perhaps I've never been looking at them the right way, but most are nothing more than mindless wanderers of this world, pretending they have a place and purpose."

Andrea laughs softly
“Humans are interesting. Just not so much in the way you’d expect. After all, it’s a wonder what the mind can do when fear is involved. Humans…are surprisingly determined to survived. Parade your kindness all you like, but we are all incredibly selfish beings”
Andrea hummed as she thought about it
“They’d do anything to survive. Anything”
Posted: Sat, 27/07/2024 23:43 (4 Months ago)
Perhaps she could ask one of Andrea's experiments that question. That'd be interesting.
Why did people try so hard to live? Did they really fear death that much? Or did they still believe there was something worth living for?
Or perhaps they were scared of what happens when they lost the will to live.
She could tell them that it wasn't really that bad.

“But do they? Of course, when you force them into fatal situations there’s really no such thing as friends anymore. Everyone wants to survive, and they wouldn’t bat an eye at using others to achieve that”
Andrea smiled, happy to have someone who didn’t shy away from the thought of human experimentation. Maybe she would try being friends with Ldeya. Maybe.
Posted: Sun, 28/07/2024 01:17 (4 Months ago)
Ldeya smirked slightly, it would be fun to watch all these people forget their fake morals and values and claw each other to survive. Then at least their life would have given her entertainment.

Andrea asks, now genuinely showing interest in Ldeya.
“I’ve been testing the morals of humans for a while. How it works is that gas masks are hung from the ceilings, and every few minute or so they are lifted up by say, a good few centimetres. Eventually you’re going to have to stand on someone’s shoulders to survive and keep breathing in safe air from the gas masks”
Posted: Sun, 28/07/2024 12:17 (4 Months ago)
Ldeya tilted her head, imagining the scenario. Perhaps people would finally realise the pointlessness of their fake friendships and loyalties then.
She had to admit, she was interested for the first time in...
She didn't bother remembering.
