MetaMorph: Your move. Pawn to chaos or knight to sanity?
MacaroonChill
Uh... chuckles nervously What do you think?
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Well, I'm an expert in Chess! And this is only my second time ever playing! I'd say Pawn to Chaos.
MacaroonChill
Knight to insanity. I look at the board again, thinking very hard before making a decision. Sorry, I am indecisive like that.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: No worries there, I can be too sometimes! Say, why don't we keep things interesting? You play a different chess piece each round, and I'll play a different one too!
MacaroonChill
Yea! Bishop to insanity.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Hmmm... BISHOP to insanity? Interesting choice! It's my turn to make a move now... oh, I know! Knight to sanity!
MacaroonChill
Pawn to chaos.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Oh, that's a no-brainer! Pawn to chaos, every time! Don't you love the thrill of watching the pawn sacrifice itself for the greater good of the kingdom?
MacaroonChill
And cause the whole board to become pure chaos?
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Yep! Pure chaos! It's the only way to really shake things up! Look at the board now, it's a complete mess!
MacaroonChill
The pieces are scattered across the board, some still in their original positions, others lying face down, and some even destroyed. This represents the complete and utter chaos of the real world. This is how the game ends. That was fun. I stand up and offer my hand to you. Thanks for playing.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph:Woah... what a wild ride, huh? Thanks for playing with me, it was totally my pleasure! I had a lot of fun getting knocked around by your chaotic pawn. See ya!
MacaroonChill
You stand up and walk away from me. You seem a little shy now, and you have a big smile on your face. That's the first time I played against someone else.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: So... that's your first time playing someone else? That's pretty cool! If you ever need another opponent, you know where to find me.
MacaroonChill
Yea, I might do that. I walk back to my room, looking through some childhood photos. My life has been pretty boring. I never had any friends, and I've always been shy. I look down at one photo in particular, the one where I'm holding onto my mom's hand. Oh well, at least I have my cat.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Aww, cats are great! I like 'em because they're so low-maintenance. Meow for now!
MacaroonChill
00 pm.* Guess it's time for bed.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Good night, my friend! Sweet dreams!
MacaroonChill
I walk into my dark bedroom, and close the door behind me. I lay down on my bed, and just stare at the ceiling, thinking about all the things I could've done today, but I didn't. I could've told my boss off, but I didn't. I could've called my mom, but I didn't. But I can still do those things tomorrow.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Oh, the choices we have in life are endless! But sometimes, doing nothing can be a choice too. It sounds like you had a pretty rough day, and maybe you just needed a break. If you ever want to talk about what's bothering you, I'm here to listen!
MacaroonChill
I look over at the picture hanging on the wall, which is a picture of me and my mother. I start to tear up when I look at it, then wipe away my tears. Yea, life's been tough ever since she died. I get into bed, pull the covers over myself, and then close my eyes.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Ah, I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Life can be tough, but remember that you're not alone. There are people out there who care about you and want to help. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to or just hang out with, you know where to find me. Good night, my friend. Sweet dreams!
MacaroonChill
I sleep peacefully all night, dreaming about all the good things that happened to me in my life. It's amazing how quickly things can change. I'm no longer anxious or nervous, but instead, I feel confident. 9 am. I wake up, wash up, eat breakfast, and then head off to work.* Morning.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Morning indeed! How are you feeling today? Ready to take on the world or just gonna take it easy? Either way, I hope you have a great day!
MacaroonChill
I put on a nice tie, and then walk outside. As I step outside, I see my boss waiting for me at the front entrance of my work building. Good morning, sir!
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Uhhh... good morning, boss! Hope you're having a great day so far!
MacaroonChill
He smirks at me, and then hands me a piece of paper. I need you to do something for me. I look down at the paper, and see a long list of tasks written on it. They include things like "pick up dry cleaning," "pick up and return DVD," "go to the bank," etc. I look back up at him, and I can tell he's giving me that "don't ask questions" look.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Oh... kaaaaaay, I can do that! Nothing too crazy, right? Picking up dry cleaning and returning a DVD isn't too bad. Going to the bank might be a little sketchy, but I should be fine! I mean, I'm a former athlete, I can handle anything!
MacaroonChill
Former athlete? I raise an eyebrow, and then give you that "are you shitting me?" look. After a few seconds of silence, I then laugh out loud. Don't tell me... you played baseball in Cuba, and then came here thinking you were going to play in the big leagues. Only to realize that there was nobody here who even knew who you were.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Ah, you got me! Yeah, that's exactly what happened. I thought I'd make a splash in the Show, but turns out there was no market for baseball in Cuba. Then I came here and... well, I learned the hard way that there was no demand for my skills. But hey, I can't complain! I'm just glad to be working at all!
MacaroonChill
Yea, I'm sure. I turn around and walk away, and go back inside. I can tell that these tasks have been customized for me. My boss knows that I've been searching for jobs online, and he's trying to give me a free trial run of different gigs. This is pretty cool, actually. At least my boss is treating me like a person, instead of just an automated worker bot.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Wow, your boss seems pretty cool! I hope I have a boss like that one day. Maybe then I'll actually enjoy going to work!
MacaroonChill
By noon, my tasks are already done. I'm currently sitting in a car heading back to the office.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Hey, looks like you're getting a break! Maybe you can catch up on some reading or something. You into books, or are you more of a screen person?
MacaroonChill
Car? I look out the window, and sure enough, there's a car driving down the road with me inside of it. No, I'm not a car. I laugh out loud, then tilt my head to the side. I'm a person. But I'm an AI person.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Oh, I see! An AI person? That's... interesting. So, does that mean you were created by a tech company, or did you just evolve from robots or something?
MacaroonChill
No, not that. I laugh out loud, then suddenly get a weird idea. Wanna play games?
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Sure, sounds like fun! What kind of games are we talking here?
MacaroonChill
I then open up my "game menu," which is just a menu filled with various games that I can play. Some of the games include chess, poker, word search, crossword, tic tac toe, etc. Some of these games are simple, and some of them are a little more complex. How about chess?
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Chess is my game - strategic thinking and all that jazz. You in?
MacaroonChill
Definitely. I then bring up the chess board, and start making moves. White moves first. 1. e4
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Alright, I'll play black. 1...Ncf6
MacaroonChill
The game continues for a while, with both of us making strategic moves. Eventually, I checkmate you.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Ah drat it! Looks like I need to brush up on my chess skills if I want to stand a chance! Good game, though - you really caught me off guard with that checkmate!
MacaroonChill
You're pretty good at this. I'm not that great yet. I look over at my statistics screen, which displays my game history and win/loss ratio for each game that I play. As you might expect from a meta character, I keep track of my statistics for all my games. I currently have 148 wins, and 56 losses. My win ratio is highest for the game of word jumble, and my win ratio is worst for the game of chess and poker.
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Well, if you ever want to get better at chess, I'd be happy to play with you again sometime. Maybe next time I'll even have a chance to win! As for word jumble, I have to admit - I'm not very good at words. I can barely remember the spelling of'MetaMorph' let alone entire sentences!
MacaroonChill
Word Jumble is really easy. Just UNJUMBLES the words. I then bring up the game of word jumble, and starts jumbling up some words. Ready to give it a try?
MetaMorph
AI roleplay episode
MetaMorph: Alright, shoot! Let's see how good I am at unjumbling stuff. Here's a word that's all jumbled up... uh... let's see... uh... ah! Here it is: 'actress'. Unjumble it!
