    Summary

    “How do you define being alive?” Faruzan asked. “Karkata toes the line between a weak and a strong artificial intelligence, which is probably why its existence is so controversial in the Akademiya.” Hat Guy shifted uncomfortably. “Regardless, do you think a worm is alive? Would you care for its pronouns like you do Karkata’s? Is it intelligence, and is an artificial intelligence alive?” Why does it all even matter?”

    “You’re asking too many questions.”

    “On the contrary, I think all of these are valid, even if we do not know the answer.”

    “Then a question to you," he said. "Do you think we should treat artificially intelligent creatures as living creatures?”

    Faruzan finds she enjoys her mental sparring battles (read: trash talking sessions) with a certain Hat Brat a little too much.

    A series of oneshots with continuity.

    Latest: Faruzan tries to figure out Karkata's inner workings. Studying a machine should be easier than studying humans!

    Summary

    Cranes settle on the cliffs above them, white splotches against the sky's dark canvas, and the tree at Windrise towers in front of them. The knotted trunk stands thick and tall despite the years, mossy and strong no matter how many storms it has weathered. The canopy spreads so wide that, as they approach, it blots out the mountains behind it. In that ancient tree, several generations of beasts have lived and died, and at its roots, thousands of humans have gone to pray, weep, and love. 

    "That's the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero," Durin says where he stands at Albedo's side, staring up at the tree with wide eyes. Hat Guy says nothing, but his silence speaks for itself. "I read about it in a book, and people say that Vennessa ascended to Celestia where it stands."

    (Or: In the process of visiting a friend from afar, two brothers learn a little more about each other, the people of Mondstadt, and how to handle rumors.)
