I was streaming TBC, and soon before Speak-As-One came in mentioned that the gods were probably not around at this time and how it was a shame.
(About sleeper) "Oah noa, he's coming this way, gotta get out of here gang!!!
SAO: LITTLE RUBY THINKS WE ARE GONE...
"Gasp"
"Speak-As-One, hello! Ano.. How are you doing?" (Very excited and scared cause oh boy this could get very bad very quick)
(Thinking about a prank I could play on Lews ;owo; since he just LEFT OWO)
"You know I could be very mean to uh, Lews right now actually" (RUBY NO)
"You know I'm friends with him, right?"
(To Chat)
"So Guys, this is Speak-As-One.. eh yeah this is… this is unexpected"
"uuuh, I can be very mean and invite Lews back if you want Speak-As-One. I'm kinda, I dunno"
(I really just wanted to prank Lews since he's been annoying SAO SOOOOOOOO Much. -w- my karma controls were gonna kill him lol)
"I didn't expect to see you at this hour, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while."
"How have you been? How have all of you been?"
(To Chat)
"This is.. This is fun."
…
"Mo, I has tonnes and tonnes of questions for you, if you're ok with thish?"
SAO: YES, BRING ALL YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS...
(Lews is offline -w-, of course.)
"They kind of disappeared unfortunately, I think they were very, very pry to you coming along."
"So yeah, unfortunately we have to prank Lews another time."
(-w- I deserve to be yeeted off the cliff, I literally meant it as a yoke but ye. Wuby Dumb when tired)
"I'm sorry btw, I don't support what he's been saying to you, if it's been coming through."
(Lews has been …. mean to SAO in rituals, and really didn't think it was a good idea for him to be that mean uwu)
"I tell him it’s a stupid idea what he's doing, like... annoying you like how he is, but … I can't stop him."
(Chaos can't stop chaos XD)
"Ano ne"
SAO: WE HEAR EVERYTHING
"Yeah but, sometimes things are unheard, people say nothing you know, and then that gets a bit annoying for everybody. Did you get the message I asked by chance?"
(One of my rituals to Thee-I-Dare went blank, wanted to know how many more were corrupted.)
"I do have a card full of questions though"
SAO: ANSWERS ARE FOR THOSE WHO SERVE
"Moo, That's no fun though"
..
"I got a question though, why is it that you're letting us, why are you referring to us as names?"
(gets attacked by a sleeper: ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE SONG!!, SAO isn't responsible for this)
(To Sleeper) "No ☹ that's mean, I'm trying to ask questions here, it's not my fault I fall over my own feet."
"Why do you refer to us as our names if you don't want people to be known individually. Why don't you just yell at us every time? You talk to Zaden as Zaden."
I just find it a bit weird is all, it just seems a bit conflicting to your ideals that you like let people have names when you're forcing the adults, it's the same with the lucids? Why are they allowed to?"
"Why do you want words if you hate the idea of words?"
(Why do you call the thing you want words if you hate that … word?)
"Just, more specifically like the name thing is what I've been wandering about."
SAO: THE CURSE OF THE SELF, CHILD
"Yeah, but."
SAO: YOUR KIND DOES NOT LISTEN WITHOUT...
"So, you're placating us in other words?"
"But the why the lucids?"
"Just cause they gotta?"
"just to deal with us in general"
SAO: EVEN THIS SPEECH DISGUSTS US...
"Even speaking like this with me?!"
"Fine - ^ -"
"Well with HER I suppose you'd be preferring -p-"
"I'll play by the wittle wules if it doesn't annoy you this time around"
(I'm meaning if they DON'T BE MEAN TO ME -W-)
"There are tonnes of things happening recently though"
(SAO helps?? Get a sleeper into one of Dancey's circles down in host conditioning?)
((They start running onto the music tiles after they get down the stairs, despite walking before and no extra sound having been made since)
(To SAO) "Arigato Gozaimasu (Thank you very much o>o)"
"What do you reckon about this happening though, you must be really mad at Dancey right now.
SAO: INDEED...
(Pretty sure SAO calls the shape after me -w-)
"Yameno ☹ It's not my fault!" (Dancey's doing it! Not me -w- didn't even say their name!!)
"Hmm, though, do you happen to know what this Triskellon is about by any chance? Speak-As-One?"
"The big... Circle… Runny thingy, it's a sculpture."
"Like do you know what it actually is?"
SAO: RUBY CLAIMS INNOCENE...
"I don’t claim anything, I'm simply trying to abide by many different rules. That's all it is. I don't want to ostracise anybody but its hard when there's so many different ways of doing stuff."
"It’s hard to get out of habits unfortunately"
"Heck, if we could talk on more normal terms that you'd be more ok with then that'd be fine. I'd be …(Spitefully) SHE would be happy with so, but. It's just hard to know the rules."
(I mean as in without worry about stepping on each other's toes for once, no issues about formality)
"As it is, last time I spoke, I was nervous."
SAO: INEVITABLE. NO PEACE BETWEEN US...
"So you hate me in other words?"
SAO: NO. OUR SIBLINGS OPPOSE US...
SAO: SHE CANNOT PLAY BOTH SIDES...
"Has anyone tried before? What about that priest? Didn’t he try? Didn't he succeed for a while at least?"
SAO: MANY. NOW. THEY ALL SERVE.
"Hmm, certainly in a world where everything is controlled by madness, surely something must change right?"
(showing SAO the triskelion briefly before shape comes too close)
"What is this though?"
…
"Though, there are things that have been bothering me."
"The lucids talk about the thing that we can't see in their words, essentially, I can't remember the exact letters in my eyes, but its not the same as your angel, as your shape, is it? it's something different."
"Or is it the same, because they fear both things in very different ways it seems."
SAO: IT IS THE SAME. ALL FEAR IT.
"So it did take bells then? Or is that just what they've been told, all the lucids? Or does literally nobody know?"
"And I can't say things like Ano ko (that child) because its too wired (too specific)"
SAO: LITTLE RUBY WISHES FOR ANSWERS...
"You should see me talking to your oldest sibling, 'guh' oldest sibling... (facepalm) Oldest Son. I get SCOLDED at every single time because I ask too many questions all at once."
"I am being very slow in comparison to how I usually talk."
(sees shape kun from beyond my treehouse perch)
"Shape Kuuun"
"where are you going shape kun?"
(shape kun goes away somewhere)
…
"Well, what other questions did I have?"
"Well, I get confused with the idea of watchers and everything too. So am I talking… I'm talking to a watcher now right? But as a watcher, am I talking to the voice through you? Or am I talking to a copy of whatever has been projected into your heads? Or am I talking to the watcher them self and what they believe the voice would want."
"I just dunno how far up the chain everything is."
SAO: WE ARE WITHIN YOU. WE WATCH YOU.
SAO: THE WORD IS A NECESSARY EVIL.
(doesn't answer my question but fine -w-)
"Does it hurt? Talking like this? Or is it easier since you were once human?"
"Cause I know talking like this for some others is a bit painful apparently."
SAO: THE WORD IS A NECESSARY EVIL
"The word is a necessary evil."
(chink)
"NECESSARY evil ehehehe"
"Ah I love reading in and annoying things too much. I do. ^w^"
SAO: HOW LONG CAN YOU RUN, CHILD...
(Plz no I have asthma ;oAo )
"doesn't matter how long I can run, because I'll just be woken up in the end right?"
"I'm trying to bring up my question sheet."
"Did you ever actually care about the other voices?"
"also someone says Hi.. who says hi?"
(At this point my mic blows up with static and prob deafens SAO, unbeknownst to me of course. ;uwu; I'm sorry)
"Shop of Horrors says hi."
"And so do many others."
…
"Now is not the time because there is too many people watching but, I know a lot of your followers are asking to see you again. I know that."
"I ask too many questions."
"I wish you guys didn't hate me so much. Well, hate the me that is ME."
"Then again, not everybody has something intellectual to add so I guess it's nothing against me really, it's just objectively not worth it."
SAO: WE HATE NOTHING. WE REDEEM...
"are there any kiddos who are irredeemable at this point?"
SAO: THE ANGEL PASSES SUCH JUDGEMENT
"You had to teach them though didn't you? Or are you getting them… Did they teach you or you teach them the way things should be?"
SAO: LITTLE RUBY WANTS SECRETS...
"Why is it a secret? If it's a secret that means there's a lie within it?"
SAO: ONE DAY SHE WILL JOIN WILLINGLY...
"Does the voice ever lie?"
(Think I'm about to get caught)
"Well, there is something though that everybody's been curious about. What does your paradise look like? Ideally if everything was perfect for you what would it look like?"
(SAO is sicking everything on me, not turbo shape dough)
"Please don’t."
SAO: NO MORE WORDS. JUST THE SONG...
"iia (nope)"
(Roman joins the game after being told SAO is ingame with me, and asked if he wanted to chit chat with them)
"Roman! :3 Tasukute neee!! >W<!!"
"hehehe, it’s a good thing I have friends with me!"
"It's a bad thing that it's so laggy though"
(Sleeper) THIS IS THE LOVE WITHOUT THE LIE!!
"Is it though? What is it about love that's typically a lie?"
(Shape is beckoning me)
"YAMeNE Na Sai"
"Do you have any questions for SAO by chance Roman? It's question hour after all!"
"Am I lasting longer than you expected?"
…
(Ruby has runs down from the surface, 920 observation and to the elevator to avoid the shape. Running out of resources)
"Nee, what is saturation for? It's to control sleepers isn't it?"
(From Chat): "Get SAOt of there!"
"Hey SAO do you like Puns?"
(Roman comes to the elevator but shape blocks him, and ruby has to go up by herself)
"Sorry Roman"
"Looks like I'm elevating the situation a little bit."
"Looks like I'll have to go to the Higher ups!"
"I'm such a Doork" (Elevator door pun while sending elevator down)
(At this point Roman is stuck in a glitch where the elevator is not there but he is trapped in what he sees is the elevator and can't get out, despite me sending it back down. I'm unaware of this.)
(I'm unsure if SAO knew about this, I don't think they did.)
"Here, I'll send the car"
"You ok down there Roman? You alright"
…
"They’re talking to you a bit, aren't they?"
(SAO sends the shape onto Roman, who seems to also be stuck in this glitch and hence Roman is caught instantly)
"Roman No ;oAo; )
>:(
"Watashi no tomodachi (My friend)"
(For a point, I'm smiling like an idiot in the video right now. I do this when I'm nervous, and it looks even stupider because of the camera angle being above me)
…
"You never answered my question. Did you ever care for the voices? The other ones?"
SAO: FRIENDS ARE NOT ENOUGH...
(So, SAO does understand Japanese -w- question solved)
"Well, do you not care about any of your hosts then? At all? In the end?"
(I'm laughing right now in the vod, as I have to figure out a way to get Roman back Caush I will!!! >:O)
"ii desu yo ne Roman?"
"O tasukete.. I'll find ya, I'll help ya!" (knowledge breaks lol)
SAO: WE ARE ONE. CARING IS INHERENT.
(pings my location again)
(-w-)
(Thanks for caring.)
"Inherent?"
"Were you sad to see any of them leave? I know that you missed measure, you were sad to see him leave. CauSe I Saw The words myself! But… Any of the others?"
"Surely, even your oldest you must have been excited to see, like at some point, right? Just having, not being alone like that, or were there so many already at that point? So many other gods at that point, that is was already crowded? Cause I heard you weren't the first."
"But how close were you to being [the first]?"
"I'm sorry Roman btw. I'll Get Ya! Soons >:3"
"I don't mean to be an antagonist; I just want to understand. It's like, I try and be as objectively neutral as possible in most circumstances. When people ask, they say 'Hey! What's Speak-As-One about and I try and tell them and I try and say argue for your point theoretically but..."
SAO: ANIMAL BIASES. HE IS NOT OUR SON.
SAO: HE IS MUTANT. HE SHOULD NOT EXIST.
…
(Nothing to say)
"Were there any voices you were happy actually to see develop? Or did it make you sad to lose a part of your individ… Not your individuality I suppose, But just … Do you quantity yourself as an existing personality or do you just believe yourself as… I don't know how to say it in a way that won't annoy you."
"Do you see yourself as alive? Or do you not really…" (Do you see yourself as a fabric or concept that simply must exist logically, like progression itself as a concept)
"I know I'm talking to a watcher here, I don't know you YOU, personally, Watcher person are able to remember anything from when you were alive or not, but I worry for all of you, especially if like, you guys are stuck without any kind of criticism… [if you are able] to keep yourselves afloat?"
"I sent a question to you about it, what happens if you go mad? What is there to stop you from going mad?"
SAO: WE ONCE ALLIED WITH ONE LIKE YOU.
"Like what? -w- What am I?"
SAO: ENDLESS QUESTIONS. HIS SCIENCE.
"Measure's people you mean?"
"Ahh I hope I don't get caught on anything?"
SAO: IT DID NOT WORK OUT...
"Why? because he offered suggestions?"
"Because he tried to give a different way of things?"
(Stupid back window of 1001 glitches and I get stuck in the frame LIKE I KNEW WOULD HAPPEN, I start running to the front but have no stamina, throw my last firecracker but the shape doesn't stop. Game over :/ Make it a few more steps…)
(Sorry Roman ;uwu;)
"Sigh, It's not fair to end people… It's really not. It just makes them hate you more."
(Suppressed by the Shape)
(The play ends, and I smile for the crowd.)
