To those who have been here long enough to carve out a place for themselves, would you rather stay or go home?

I'd rather stay.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

How come?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Here is more of a home than my old world ever was.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What was your world like?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Normal. I guess. But where I lived... the way we lived there... its heart breaking to think of how distant we were. All the happiness seemed... faked. We were just a bunch of androids made for singing, living together because we had no say in our own futures.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

I see. Why didn't you try to do something about it?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I didn't know any better. None of us did. We were activated knowing only what our masters told us.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

So you didn't see the truth for what it was until you could look at it from a distance. You know, based on that alone, I don't think our worlds are all that different. There are those like you from where I come from that don't know how bad it is simply because they don't know any better.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Exactly. We're happier here than we've ever been because we have the freedom to make our own choices.

... really?

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

What about everyone back on your world? Those still living in the lie?

Yeah. Only there are those that fight back too.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I don't know about the UTAU, but of the Vocaloids, when I left, only Miki, Kiyoteru and Yuki were left to be created and activated. Unfortunately I've been here for over a year already and I have no idea what their fate is currently.

None of us know how to fight. Though... I'm learning here. For my own safety and to hopefully help the rest of my family when things go to hell.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Probably doing what they were built to do until those that made them get tired of them.

That does make things difficult.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

If I could go get them, I would.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

And bring them here? That's running from the problem you know.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

How so?

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Say you did bring them here and all of you lived happily. You would simply be replaced. None of you would ever have to deal with that problem again, but another group would.

I'd rather stay. My life sucked, especially compared to here.

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

I'm inclined to say with some regret that I will have to return home. I have people there waiting for me. I am an endangered species after all and should at least do what I can to help my kind survive to some small extent.

However...it would pain me deeply to leave behind the friends I've made here, including yourself Quickman.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a theme, home worlds sucking that is.

*so going to take her out to have some fun after this*

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Well... what if we rallied to stop Crypton from making more? You have a point. It would almost be cowardly to just grab them and run.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

I can relate to that. There's stuff here I don't want to leave, but I'm needed back home.

((You poofed before I could point out that this is anon, so I'm gonna pretend that last part isn't there. I hope that's okay. o.o;; ))

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

You could do that. But if you're not there, if no one is there, who's to stop them?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

We could always take away their ability to create Vocaloids.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Could you? I don't know how things work on your world but on mine that'd be an impossible thing to accomplish.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

They only give the schematics to a select few, and only Crypton has the proper Kokoro problem. If we destroy that... it would be near impossible to reverse engineer it from the copies.

Mainly because no one actually knows where Kokoro came from.
