Having infinite personalities can justify anything, can't it? It's almost cheating...

Sorry, it was the first thing I thought of.

Well the one in the AMA last night was surprisingly open,

I'm starting to wonder if their attitude simply comes down to an extreme case of being Not Good With People. I mean, they're not people (as in humans), those suits are apparantly their skin , and so far as we know they can't create fiction on their own - that's purely a human thing. Maybe the reason we're getting so little useful info isn't out of a desire to be deceptive, but out of an inability to judge what is relevant and what isn't, and then put it aross in a way which DOESN'T sound creepy and mysterious.

Regarding the 'nice try'... could he be referring to a previous guess we made? He could even actually be trying to compliment us on our attempts to figure him out...

He lives in a world very different than ours that follows different physical and moral laws. So naturally, he'd act differently then we're used to, but that doesn't mean he's a terrible or untrustworthy person. It would be wrong for us to judge him for always hiding his face, or concealing information, or making ridiculous demands in a creepy voice, in the same way it would be wrong to judge African tribal people for wearing practically no clothes or doing strange dances to summon rain. I know very little about African tribal people by the way.

What exactly does he mean by this?

We were making theories... He said they suck.
But according to Q&A, that's just because he does not know who they are, either.
Well, maybe A-Prime does. But he won't tell.

Probably like this

What is the 'this' of which you speak dear Victin?

Dude, those level instantations would probably clean the toilets... assuming they have toilets. Surely they have toilets SOMEWHERE...

They do.

Well, I feel a lot richer in knowledge than yesterday.

I also speculate that, even though they probably can occupy any height in the void (they project the floor under themselves), they probably stick to a predefined one. No one would want to get peed on, or get hit by a dartboard somebody dropped a century ago.

Indeed. I suspect there's some sort of unwritten law amongst them: go too deep at your own risk, fellas.

Back on topic... I wodner if Mister A was genuinely trying to compliment us on our attempts at figuring out who he is, and is really just... bad at showing it? we seem to have learned a lot about his personality from the AMA, if nothing else, and he seems rather confused about... the logic of some things. Like how his not giving us information a lot of the time is attributed to him being too focussed on research, and maybe just not thinking that we'd NEED input or NEED to trust him. To him it was just... obvious.

1. whether he can create one, and
2. whether WE can create one.

Dryunya wrote:I think that's all because, mind-wise, he is a Starfish Alien. I'm not sure what is the actual trope for that. His primary interest is information, and he is unaffected by any disasters in our realm (I would argue, but that's what he said).

Which is why he should create somebody to interface with us. I propose a cute Meganekko Rei Ayanami Expy.
Now that I said it, there are 2 things we need to ask of him:

1. whether he can create one, and
2. whether WE can create one.

I think that would make our job a lot easier.
