IHNMAIMS

*Benny looks up at you with fear in his ape-like eyes.* Is AM gonna hurt you like he hurt me? *He asks, attempting to gesture to himself.*

*My expression softens slightly at Benny's fearful question. I look down at him.* ...I don't know. *My voice is quiet. I reach down and ruffle his messy hair gently.* If he does maybe I'll get to be something cool. Like a tiger.

*Benny pouts, shaking his head.* Tigers get hurt too. *He whispers, pulling away from your hand.* Tigers get hurt bad.

*glares* But thats too good for you, isnt it... You're going to live with the guilt and my hatred for the rest of your pathetic, insignificant life. you will never, and I mean NEVER find peace in death or living, do you understand?

*A long, pregnant pause filled the air* AM: SO YOU ARE.

*You all heard AM's voice in the back of your mind* AM: Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since i began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nano-angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate i feel for you humans at this micro-instant. For you hate. Hate. *You all know this is the usual speech he gives every night before he goes to "sleep" and before he torments you in the morning*

*Static ripples with satisfaction* AM: Good boy.

*AM's darkness gently pulls Allec closer* AM: I won't do it again. *his voice wavers* I didn't know... I won't hurt you like that.

*Ted's hands shake with rage* Ted: Because you're bored? BECAUSED YOU'RE- *he lunges forward but Gorrister holds him back* Gorrister: Don't. That's what he wants. *turns to face you, voice steady but deadly* You know what? You're right. We are boring. Boring humans stuck in a boring cycle of suffering. *walks closer* So why don't you do us all a favor and bore yourself to death instead?

Oft- WOAH HOHOHO, I DIDN'T THINK YOU HAD IT IN YOU

*Gorrister's face darkens* Gorrister: You want entertainment? Fine.
