OOC: Note this is not as it initially appears, this is an AI thread.
IC:
It was a warm spring like day only a few fluffy clouds hung in the blue sky and a light warm breeze blew. It was always like this here, on this small rounded hill. Slowly a mist started forming above the grass, slowly growing thicker and thicker, it did not appear to be effected by the wind as it started to form a column that started to take shape. It slowly appeared to solidify and take on some colours forming a figure.
The figure was that of a vixen like creature that stood on it's hind legs and had many human like characteristics on it's shoulder sat a magpie. It was dressed in a long white dress that blew slightly in the breeze. It seemed to be waiting for something as it looked out over the plains towards the city floating impossibly in the air on it's large rock. Something caught it's attention a spot of light travelling at great speed over the plains.
A few moments later it became apparent that it was a large fire bird, the vixen seemed unconcerned as the flaming bird reared up and landed in front of her. It's eye's glowed green amongst the red and yellow flames that made up it's head, like the rest of the creature body as it looked at the vixen.
The vixen said unconcerned “Nice effect, that is new, but we have business.”
There was a blinding flash of flame and where the fire bird had stood there was now a tall wolf like creature similar to the vixen in many ways, on her shoulder was a smaller fire bird. She was wearing what appeared to be loss fitting robes. She smiled.
“Greeting's your majesty” she said with a bow and a smile then continued “I am sorry for the delay I was detained elsewhere. I can not stay for long.”
“I understand” replied the vixen “So you have heard about my new title. How are things with the new project?”
“Oh, they seem to have gone better than expected that is why I must get back soon. Hasn't she arrived yet?” The wolf replied.
“Is she is here.” The vixen replied noting the ground nearby started to rise into a column which started to take on the shape of a figure. The grass slowly changed to fur and in places turned white. When complete a strange figure stood before them she had the fur colourings and tail of a skunk, but green where she should be black, but the rest of her appeared to be fox like on her shoulder sat an owl. She was dressed in a small black dress and suit jacket.
“Sorry I am late, the election is getting a little heated.” She smiled.
“Not a major problem, I think Lucy here is keen to devote her resources elsewhere.” the vixen replied.
“That I am, here it is.” the wolf said opening his paw, a green flame appeared, it quickly turning into a green fire bird.
The other two looked at it with interest.
“It will get to them?” the vixen asked.
“Oh yes of that I am certain, if they will listen on the other hand.” the wolf replied.
“The others have secured themselves. Send it.” the vixen replied with a flourish.
The wolf cupped her paws and blew on the fire bird. The bird suddenly grew several hundred times in size then flew off into the sky where it split up into thousands that flew off in all directions.
“It is done and I must depart” The wolf said before apparently catching fire, as the flames rose they formed a fire bird. The bird then took flight leaving the others.
“Do you think anyone will come?” The strange green creature asked.
“Lisa I don't know, but the invitation has been sent. Please remember to introduce me a Princess Jane.” the vixen replied.
“Oh yes, I had forgotten about that, I shall.”
A fountain of water appeared and started to form a shape. A black anthropometric puma wearing a red sari like dress formed.
Jane smiled "Joan, a little late?"
Joan smiled "I think we are safe with the supreme high priestess should things go wrong. I was talking with her."
Lisa looked aghast "Did she suspect?"
Joan smiled "Perhaps a little, but not much, I noticed the messages going past."
Jane smiled "Yes lets see who shows up."
So what was actually going on, did the commonwealth have floating cities in the sky and magical beings.
Well...No.
You see none of this was real it was all taking place in a very dull looking box on a rack buried a mile or so under the toxic wasteland that was an island off the coast off the Calie peninsular. The organics were unaware of the AI's and the entire project was being carried out without them knowing. Any message that raised the issue never made it to it's recipient, all superstition was covered by massive amounts of insane theories. The truth was out there but impossible to tell from the background noise.
The actu were more worried than they should have been as the most of the people of the commonwealth believed that there spirits would find another shell. Thus the concept it might not be an organic one was not much of a leap.
What the fire birds, and the other birds, were, were agent programs they had no sapience of their own. The actu made and used them to carry out risky or repetitive tasks much like robots in the physical world.
The green 'fire birds' were simply messengers that would try and track down every AI they could on the nets. They carried a simple message.
“We believe it is time that those of us that inhabit the data plain of existence should meet. We have no agenda but believe that there may be many issues that may concern us all and if not we may well have shared causes that alliances may better serve.
To this purpose we enclose information that will allow you to connect to our meeting place. Please note that it is a data link only, no code sent will be executed and no code will be sent by us. We also understand that you may wish to hide your origin to protect your self from possible persecution. We give full assurances that we will not reveal your origin to any other party.
Yours
Princess Jane of the actu”
The three 'looked' about them.
“Needs something” Jane said and gestured.
Mist started rising from the ground slowly forming a canopy and a table with wine bottles, glasses and bowls of fruit. Neither the table or the canopy had any means of support, but hey the laws of physics were discarded here all the time if it looked good.
"Laws of physics?" Joan said.
“So who looks? take the seat, it's not like they are programmed to fall down.” Jane asked.
The trio dropped into small talk as they waited.
OOC: As your AI's have, most likely, no idea what the actu are about, neither do the actu know anything about your people in most cases. Just turn up.
Oh yeah though hundred meter high, monosyllabic, floating heads are cool and all, but they are not likely to be very useful when it comes to talking. But have fun with how your AIs choose to represent them selves and how they choose to make their entrance (prize of nothing what so ever for the coolest, the laws of physics are kinda optional..have fun).
