To: All Summoned

[itookashot]

This is the most important question I've had since coming here. I need to get opinions from the rest of you, for science.

Why are all of the Summoned attractive? I have not met a single ugly Summoned and while I do love looking at your gorgeous faces, it seems unusual. Is there an attractiveness requirement? Do they take that into consideration when plucking us out of our universes? Could there be deeper reasons or do they think 'well if they don't help us out, at least they up the beauty curve of our world from a four to a seven'?

I mean, that's what I would do, but I'm interested in other thoughts. Please do not respond to this with false modesty; I know you're pretty, you know you're pretty, this is serious. Unless one of you truly thinks you are unattractive in which case show me a picture if you can and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

Yeah, when this whole weird brain texting thing started, we tried to send pictures and emojis, but it never works. Words only.

The four arms ain't the problem. It's everything else about him. He's like part lizard or something.

[itookashot]

Emojis?

A four-armed lizard person. See I hear that and think 'unique, fascinating, must meet.'

[princessvegas]

Yeah, emojis. They're these little pictures we put in text messages, back in my world and other worlds like mine. Text messages are like tiny letters that you get in real time. I can show you in the Horizon, it's hard to explain like this.

Maybe, but this specific four-armed lizard person is a real piece of shit and ugly as fuck. Everyone else though, A+ beauty standards.

[itookashot]

That sounds like something I would love, I definitely want to see them.

Oh people who can't show me how pretty you are, find me in the Horizon, that way I can see you. Better than a portrait.

I trust your assessment. Modification to my statement: The one exception is four-armed lizard person with a shitty personality.

[fourarmedandangerous]

Firstly. My name is Goro. Prince Goro of Kuatan.

Secondly. I am Shokan. Ours is the blood of the dragon.

Thirdly. Humans are considered scrawny, weak, and repulsive by the standards of my people, we simply do not jeer about it. But I know better than to expect proper manners from a yapping little dog such as yourself, woman.

[itookashot]

Thank you for the correction!

The one exception is the four-armed dragon person with a shitty personality.

[princessvegas]

You got some nerve, to talk about yapping. You ain't shut your yap since you got here.

Anyway, I met your imaginary girlfriends. Y'all can keep that ugly in the family, thanks.

[itookashot]

He has imaginary girlfriends? Like in the Horizon? He made himself girlfriends?

[princessvegas]

Sure did. I feel kinda bad for 'em, honestly. All the minds in the Horizon and they had to come out of that one.

[itookashot]

They probably don't have sentience.

Probably.

[princessvegas]

I sure do hope so, for their sakes.

[ When it comes down to it, she's not sure. Her Horizon people are more or less sentient, if not exactly self-determined. They definitely understand what's going on around them. But then again, she knows her ability to interact with the Horizon appears to be unique. It's just as likely that Goro's creature people are basically walking cardboard cutouts. ]

[itookashot]

Then again it is possible in his world he's considered a handsome prince.

[princessvegas]

You ain't seen him.

[itookashot]

I love how ruthless you are.

[princessvegas]

Oh dollface, you got no idea.

[fourarmedandangerous]

Hurling insults on paper is not ruthlessness, it is merely obnoxious. You are no warrior, and your tongue would not be so quick to flap in true kombat.

They are approximations of my ten real concubines. I admit, I was not aware of the limitations of Horizon constructs when I built them, but they are pleasing to look at nevertheless.

[princessvegas]

Promises, promises, Goro. No one likes a tease.

[itookashot]

You know, I think he has a crush on you.
