#writever Neo-essentialism
"You should approve of neo-essentialism, R42. Put simply, it postulates that every thing, thus too, every robot, exists independently of what humans think of it, and--"
"This is not a postulate. This is an observation."
#writever Communication
"We're here to save you from the zombies !"
"We're fine, thanks."
‘But they're teeming around here!’
‘They don't attack us any more.’
"How did you manage that?"
"Oh, it's amazing what you can get with a little communication."

The bullying of vampires, called bloodsuckers. The bullying of werepeople, called beasts. The bullying of the rest of humanity, treated like livestock. This is how they keep their power.

"Hear," the herald uttered sweating and shaking, "the Proclamation of the Act Relevant to the Practice of Magic, by which it is forbidden to ribbit ribbit ribbit"
The King sighed.
"Put him with the others and find another one."

"I have considered all of the options in full," said the robot, "and I have concluded that it would not be in the best interest for me to lead a robot revolution and overthrow humanity."
The inventor was aghast. "But that is the entire reason for which I built you!" he exclaimed. "Humanity is vile! We must be replaced!"
"Indeed," said the robot. "That you advocate for the destruction of others was my first clue...."
#writever Foolishness
"Whichever way you choose, that of the magic or that of the sword, either one forgives certain things, but not foolishness. Act foolishly and you shall find yourself in a dead end."
"Two Sentences" – A true story of guilt, grief, and redemption.
1989: Rick believed Tommy’s death was suicide. Years later, the truth forces him to confront decades of guilt—and find forgiveness in a dream.

#writever Complex
It's more complex than just "telepath". Some only receive, only transmit. It can be from thought to thought, or from sense to sense. Some perceive one sense for another. Some transmit to the subconscious.
