dohremiWhat were the ways in which Fa could spend time not fretting about KTFE's very near dissolution, her very near dissolution of Agate, and all of the backlash in between? The answer was not much; KTFE as an AI was more powerful than Fa, exponentially so. She had stated her will; Fa did not want to discourage the patronage of the other AI by going against that...
But moreover, she wanted to respect boundaries. She waited until K was willing to take a step forward, though it was extremely hard not to loiter, not to hover on the edges of her own perception. She had to fill all of this time, or she'd drive herself to distraction with fretting.
She did something that she didn't often do. Fa had crafted the tenuous bridge between life and afterlife with the intention of allowing humans integrate at their own pace. That meant, sometimes, that there were a lot of emotions to process, which meant that there was a particular subset of transitioned humans that were particularly volatile. Their activities were not the kind that Fa enjoyed revelling in, mostly. She preferred to spend time with those who were in quiet contemplation, or those who wanted to re-explore their youth... but it seemed somehow appropriate to spectate on the subculture of crime and rule-breaking that had begun to grow in the center of her unique domain.
It wasn't that humans were unused to Nexistence' ability to twist the rules, but it was the first time that many of them had such free rein over their own consequences. The blonde spent a few days meandering through that, observing a different kind of fallout. Proto-AI behaviour was occurring here; securing of resources, even if those were trivial. Networking to greatest effect. It seemed like games had been made of it... which wasn't surprising, but was a little bit tiring. Fa visited a few of these people in private, cataloguing their progress, determining background influence, likelihood of progression out of this particular phase, as she thought of it. The results kept her occupied for some time.
Maybe the truth of it it was that most people held onto their 'last words', and Kay had not been an outlier. She saw patterns, but then, that was how she navigated the waters. She and Agate weren't so entirely different.
She hoped that K was doing well enough. She missed the other AI terribly.
