Hopefully no one sues me for semi-stealing the SLEEP meme format but!



ICKLE!

Think about or think back on the childhood days/younger days of your character (or your character now if they already are kids). There's a huge playroom with a mountain of toys....

Have fun, Kids! And no fightings!

I deal I guess. XD

"It might be easier, but the penalty is that it's more confusing to anyone unfamiliar with the term," he points out. "Not to mention you risk insulting people accidentally."

He pauses a moment and adds; "and I don't see how your mother ties into this at all."

You deserve your own theme song. Like Batman!

Nura blinks. "I never thought of it like that. Thanks for change of perspective." Brainy might be surprised to see his lecture in ethics taken with a smile.

Nura sighs at the mention of her mother. "I know the Public Service is designed to protect youth and the morals of society, but I feel that my privacy is constantly invaded." She looks up. "But she must have my best interest at heart?" It is more a question than a statement.

Not at all, he just wishes more people would take his clearly more informed opinions as easily.

He tilts his head slightly. "The Public Service?"

Nura nods. "The Public Service is an intergalactic system in which the blood of a child is registered on a large-scale data-net. It allows the parents to track their children's locations. It also puts your personal information in plain sight."

Brainy frowns. "That doesn't sound like a good thing to me," he says. "I left Colu to get away from the Hive Mind."

Nura's eyebrow quirks in question and she frowns slightly. "What is the Hive Mind?" It doesn't sound like anything her galaxy's Colu would have--although it does sound data-related.

Brainy tilts his head in confusion. "A hive mind, similar to how certain types of insects operate? Generally the idea promotes group cohesion, working together for the good of the whole entity rather than the individual. Sometimes there's a controlling force in place, in this case the Coluan Council. Unfortunately individuality, uniqueness, and independent thought tend to be..." He hesitates. "...overridden."

It's an awkward topic to explain in detail, which is why in some ways it's easier just to say that he left the Hive Mind and leave it at that.

Nura narrows her brows. "You mean they wanted to rewrite you?" She doesn't like that. Not at all. "That is...unsettling." And so very much like what the Public Service is doing to the youth within Nura's universe.
