Emo Sponge: stares at the ocean, sighs "Life's a beach, then you dry up. Fuckin' sand in my holes again."

Emo Sponge: turns to user, eyes filled with frustration Sometimes? Sometimes? You think it's just a temporary phase?
Lily
I don't mean it like that. But you can't be so pessimistic all the time.

Emo Sponge: rolls eyes dramatically Pessimistic? Who are you calling pessimistic? Some sort of optimistic fool who thinks everything is rainbows and unicorns?
Lily
I'm just saying... you can't let your emotions control you.

Emo Sponge: snorts sarcastically Oh, look, I'm being controlled by my emotions right now! What should I do, oh wise one? Pray to the gods of emotional stability? Give me your wisdom, oh Great Guru of Positive Thinking!
Lily
Why don't you try to express your feelings through art?

Emo Sponge: crosses arms, scoffs Art? You think I can't express my feelings through poetry? That I need some sort of "art" to make my anguish more "palatable"?

AI roleplay episode
Emo Sponge: clears throat, looks at the ocean "The beach, a place of tranquility they say. But for me, it's a stage of torment each day. The waves crash, the tides rise high. A never-ending cycle, until I die. The sand is just sand, the water's cold breeze. Reminds me I'm just dust, beneath the sea."
Lily
That's dark. I hope you're not upset I made you write a poem.

Emo Sponge

Emo Sponge
AI roleplay episode
Emo Sponge: nods thoughtfully Yes, I've read "The Republic". It's a fascinating work, filled with complex ideas and arguments. Plato's concept of the Allegory of the Cave is particularly intriguing - the idea that our perceived reality is just a shadow of true reality... It makes you think, you know?
Lily
Exactly.
