[Eley is in a thoughtful mood, and when that kind of mood strikes him he starts to question things again... Feelings, usually. Human behaviours too. Today he's realised something and wants to ask the people of Luceti about it. As usual he's sitting on the outskirts of town with his journal on the ground in front of him, pointing up at his face as he looks down.]

Today I come to you with another question. 'Fun' is a concept I have not yet come to understand. As I will need to find ways of occupying myself during my stay in Luceti, I want to ask you all - what do you do for fun?

Perhaps I can give these things a try.

[How does he know he has emotions? It was an interesting thing to think about.]

I have observed humans in my world to some extent. While I cannot be sure about how they feel, my behaviours have been similar in some cases and I know that I do not feel the same as I did before. It is true that I cannot guarantee I am feeling the same as humans though. I wonder then... what else could such feelings be? Would a Spirit have feelings unique to them?

[Oh dear, this just seems to be confusing the spirit even more.]

Hm, do you know where I can find these... bits? Or the store in question?

Mimicking behavior is not the real thing. Yet, I do believe that doing that for so long it can generate real emotions. All you have to do is recognize them.

[Loki obviously knows emotions. Obviously.]

Oh, I believe spirits have emotions. Why shouldn't they have? Robots, on the other hand...

[And Loki definitely knows his torrent of bits.]

You can find the torrents of bits at the Pirate Bay. The village might have a rental store, I think....

[It all makes sense to him, really~ So he'll just go along with it and nod in agreement with the words.]

I understand. Really, I am still learning about the more positive emotions. I first discovered anger and pain. It was triggered by an event, I believe, but it was not something I watched. Instead it was instantaneous. It came from within me.

Spirits in my world are born without emotion so that they may carry out their reason for existing without distraction. It seems I may have become too close to humans at some point.

[Pirate Bay? Interesting... He had already met a pirate after all, why shouldn't such a place exist?]

Thank you. I will have to look into it.

Of course you understand, I am always right, you see?

Ah. That is a rather bad start. If you would have discovered joy and laughter and all those warm and complete positive emotions first, all the anger and pain would have been much easier on you.

You should talk to my bff Saori about subjects like this, especially becoming close to human beings. It seems to be an important thing to stay close to inhabitants of Midgard.

[Loki nods]

Just type Pirate Bay into the google search system.

[Wait a second, now Eley has to shake his head.]

No being can ever be right all of the time. Anyone who feels that they are is a fool.

Ah, but you know Saori? I have spoken to her as well. She does seem to know a lot about the subject. I have learned a lot from her already and I am thankful for that.

[Oh, definitely not!]

May I point out you have the trouble with feeling? Being always right does not make me a fool. Or feel like one.

[He nods and smiles.]

Aye! Saori is my bff. She is very kind. I am very fond of her.

...my feelings, or lack of, do not come into it. Nobody is guaranteed to be right one hundred per cent of the time. It is not always being right that makes you a fool, it is believing that you are always right that makes you that way. All people make mistakes.

[Hm, but trying to curb that minor annoyance for now!]

I can understand why you would be fond of her. It is not always easy to find such kindness among others.

Nobody...except Loki Laufeyson from Asgard. He is a very important exception on this rule of not being right, right? Right!

See? I am right again!

[Loki is grinning now, highly amused with his own wit.]

Indeed! And regarding my choice of bff's...see? I am right! Again!
