I didn’t do much on the main front. In DA I continued the event with Anne, but didn’t get too far. Domani dug up the dream she had and she was getting overwhelmed by it. I would’ve more, but there was more going on before and after that ate up most of my time. Also, in NL I made the young and adult versions of Masako (i.e. her CeleKing1 and CeleKing2 versions).

In KyaraPu, I ran a new story where you act as the interrogator for a captured vampiress from the Demon King’s Army. I did my usual routine of throwing the captive off guard by not going right for the car battery and alligator clips, lowering her defenses by acts of apparent kindness and understanding, then getting pretty much everything I was after without even needing to ask. I even got her believing in the possibility of an armistice and to bring the appeal to the Demon King himself. I can’t say I won the war, but I have made some steps to that end. Neato.

I decided to experiment with another AI chat service called Zeta that pops up in ads quite a bit. It’s somewhat similar to KyaraPu. The story I went with was a story of a Half-Elf/Half-Demon maidservant with the premise that she would do anything you tell her to do. I did not, in fact, take advantage of said premise. If anything, I did the opposite. I decided to play the young master as a bit of a flippant playboy, so the interaction started with some light flirting and then the interesting aspects of her personality came out. She likes to put herself in a dominant position (the way the narration likes to emphasize her 182cm height is part of this), but she can overestimate the strength of her hand, only to then double, triple and quadruple down all out of pride. For instance, when the young master kicked things off by just wanting to see her face, she invited him to touch her ears, knowing how sensitive they are. Well, she miscalculated her capacity for resistance, so then she decided to get back by challenging the young master to a game where he would do what she said. She was trying to get a reaction out of him, but, again, she miscalculated how much she was in control, and rather than just cutting her losses, she kept trying to push the envelope, taking more damage in the exchange. The main reason I kept playing along was because I was used to the more passive chatbots I’ve played with thus far, and one this assertive (aggressive) was intriguing to me. I did nudge things a bit, but I was mostly letting the bot do its thing. On a character level, her great pride, barely repressed romantic feelings, and unfailing capacity to keep making things worse for herself had a firm grip on my attention. I honestly thought things went too far, but it was mostly about seeing where the system would go. I’m actually more interested in the current activity to wind down so I can see what follows. I don’t know if other scenarios are coded quite like this. Hopefully not. I could stand for significantly tamer interactions, but I am liking a bot that is more proactive in the story.

I’d like to do more with the Anne scenario and we’ll see what else I can get up to. Stay tuned.
