[Lust has been drinking. She doesn't usually indulge to the point where mildly tipsy starts heading to drunk, but it's been an emotional week and two drinks turned into three until she's fiddling with her gear with a half empty wine bottle on the table beside her and a full glass in her hand.
Probably not the best time to flip on the record function and put out a general message.]
Why do emotions have to play such a ridiculously large part in daily life? They're nothing but organic chemical reactions. You mix sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid and get fizzing, bubbling carbonic acid. It's the same damned thing, at the most basic level. Chemicals interact with other chemicals and cause a reaction.
But the molecules that give birth to emotional feeling...they're never dormant. They're never inactive. They're always combining and breaking apart and firing off signals that we have no choice but to be ruled by. Human beings are like a single chemical in that way, one that reacts in a most volatile manner to every other substance and stimulus it encounters.
The sheer number of emotions a single person experiences in a single day... it's overwhelming. And like all chemical reactions, prone to change drastically the moment something new is introduced. The simple act of going from content to frightened or angry or even irritated is enough to interfere with daily life.
That seems like a detrimental design flaw, to me.

My...soul or whaveter you want to call the collection of feelings and impulses and personality that make us a person, is 35.
My physical and mental age is 21 - as of this month.
But I've only existed in this form as this person for fourteen.

... I... err, sorry for asking so many personal questions. We have super humans in my world but they're not the same as you and the others. It's interesting hearing about the differences between the two.
Private
If I didn't want to answer them, I wouldn't. And we aren't 'super humans'. We're just humans who've been tampered with a bit.
