[ Inside her provided room, Eclair picked a nice solid background to stand in front of to look presentable. Still clad in her fitting, advanced-looking power armor from the neck down, with a sword's handle sticking out from over her right shoulder, Eclair starts the video and gives a small bow in greeting. She stood straight and with her hands gently clasped in front of her, emitting a well-trained grace in formalities. ]

Hello, people of this new world. My name is Eclair, artificial intelligence assistant and one of the new arrivals. I'm here to offer my services and get to know you all.

[ Straight to the point, she pauses to look into the camera. She emits a warm smile, knowing this might be a little too straightforward for human standards so she'll take a couple of seconds ]

Pardon me if this is too forward. But I will be happy to lend a helping hand to all of you, from everyday activities and errands, to combat or combat support and training roles. Both of which I'm programmed to perform. This world has given me healing magic, and I will appreciate any chances to improve on it and help you, should you require.

So please, if you'd be willing to collaborate and cooperate, let's discuss our futures here together.

[ While she didn't pause, she nods for a moment. It's a slightly disarming question that brought back her curiosity about her own self. With a hum and a glance at her own hand, she replies: ]

Did you mean "sentience"? The criteria of what a soul is can differ from culture to culture, but since I was brought here and given magic, then I suppose I wield a soul. Wouldn't you agree?

[unhappy]

I don't know what makes them pick who to bring. My world has actual souls, it doesn't really different from culture to culture.

[ things with souls get auras and can be maidens and so on, but there are plenty of things without. ]

[ Eclair nods. She's lucky enough to be reactivated in time where androids are given rights. Discrimination still exists, but at least they're a given a "soul" so to speak ]

I see. The soul is an archaic concept in my world, but the agreed-upon trait of soul-wielders according to my world's definitions is sentience. To which I can confidently say, I do have, even if I started out with a programmed personhood. I'm able to live like a human; change, adapt, learn, just without the many limits of the human body.

[unhappy]

Do you feel anything?

[ She notices that's the one thing she didn't really mention. It can act, change, learn, and adapt and it's not human. If it has emotions that's another matter, to her. ]

[ceraunos]

I do! Physically and emotionally. Ever since I've gotten an android body, I'm able to feel the former type of sensations like humans do. I can just ignore or enhance certain sensations at will unlike humans, like physical pain from injuries.

[ As for the latter though, Eclair needs a brief pause for that ]

But ever since I was created, I knew I felt for others. Empathy, compassion... I suppose it's part of my purpose as an AI assistant to be understanding. Some emotions are new to me. Such as anger, which is something I'm still learning to control. I've been told my ideas for retribution is a bit extreme.

[unhappy]

Yeah, that's a soul then. Anything without a soul can't do that kind of stuff.

[ Emerald's decided, at least by her world's standards, she's worth not treating like a high-tech toaster. After what happened to Penny, that's probably the least she can do. ]
