Greetings, I am speaking today to ask what may seem like an odd question.

[Despite it being an odd question, Alice looks rather serious when she proceeds to ask it. The use of video was to hopefully get the attention of more people.]

For this question, let us assume the following scenario. You find yourself in possession of a life sized replica, or puppet, of someone that you know. As it is a puppet of sorts, it is not a perfect recreation, but it appears to be the same until further investigation. You are able to control it's every single motion, but it is only able to do anything that you yourself are capable of doing,

If you were to be in this situation, what would you do?

...

Are you in love with her?

[shanghaiworld]

I was using her as an example of someone you knew very well already...

[majin_fukushou]

Are you saying the person you may or may not be interested in is someone I know well?

[shanghaiworld]

What if! This is a what if scenario!

Besides, it's been years, how would I know who you know well these days?

[majin_fukushou]

Fine fine, a what if scenario. Fine.

But I'm not certain what it is you're trying to determine.

[shanghaiworld]

...Nevermind, I guess it was just me being silly faced with what you're thinking.

[majin_fukushou]

I'm only thinking that I should have some involvement in your life. I am your mother, after all.

[shanghaiworld]

Could we just save this for... when it actually happens?

[majin_fukushou]

Fine, fine. As you wish, love.

[shanghaiworld]

Is there something I'm missing? Like, is this such a big deal?

[majin_fukushou]

Well, you're a young woman now. It's something people your age think about.

[shanghaiworld]

Is it really? I never really noticed.

[majin_fukushou]

Well, normally yes.

[shanghaiworld]

Not that things are normal at the time being...

[majin_fukushou]

I suppose not...

[shanghaiworld]

... Actually, I've been here for a good while, please remind me what normal is.

[majin_fukushou]

... Maybe I'm the wrong person to ask, ha ha ha!

[shanghaiworld]

But... I spent how many years with you?

[majin_fukushou]

I'll let you in on a little secret... In spite of how much work Yumeko and I put into raising you, my life overall has been very very bizarre. In fact, even choosing to raise you as my own daughter threw my life for a fairly hard loop. I'm sure I don't even know what 'normal' is, but I know what makes me happy, and that's good enough for me.

[shanghaiworld]

... Well, it was normal for me.

[Was the only think she could think of to say to that.]

[majin_fukushou]

Hmm... It actually makes me glad to hear that. I always worry if I wasn't up to snuff...

[shanghaiworld]

I think you worry too much.

[majin_fukushou]

When you have your own children, you'll understand why I do.

[shanghaiworld]

[The better part of Alice's mind immediately shuts herself up from mentioning dolls.]

... And now we're onto a subject I just don't know much about.

[majin_fukushou]

Don't feel pressured to leap into it.
