Noch eine Anmerkung zum RePost eben: Hätte man früher tatsächlich seine Poesiealben, Tagebücher, Fotoalben... einem Großunternehmen anvertraut, um eine "KI besser auf europäische Sprachen, Kulturen und Kontexte abzustimmen"? So etwas war damals nur Stoff für die #ScienceFiction-Kinderbücher, die ich als Kind gelesen habe. Bedenklich, wie sich diese Dystopien nun doch immer mehr bewahrheiten.

#PennedPossibilities 654 — How would your SC introduce themselves?

Answers for (Lightning) Bolt, assuming I write the day angel's later stories:

Gives you a look and visually checks for weapons before giving a practiced harrumph then scanning the area for actual threats. She's training as a praetorian, but is already the devil-girl's captain of the guard. She nearly killed the main series antagonist for that woman; she has the knack for being a bodyguard, and she's being trained by one of the best: The devil-girl herself.

Out of uniform, she's not likely to introduce herself unless asked, and then give de minimus until she knows you. She spent a decade blackmailed and working for a crime syndicate. Not being noticed, and not identifying is pretty much branded into her brain. Since the devil-girl was also blackmailed, they'd been forced to work together before they ended up bonding over common experiences.

6 - Esaí Alfredo, Spinello Projects. Loved all his #paintings in this solo booth. "Starless is an evocative series of nocturnal scenes inspired by #sciencefiction and set against the hauntingly familiar landscapes of his hometown, Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, as well as the shadowy subtropics of South Florida's Everglades. At the center of these works is the gay male figure and gaze, reflected through the atmospheric lens of a world where light—and certainty—seem perpetually out of reach."
