Yes, but for what purp--

[An alien?

Oh god, this is really sounding like something from late-night bad television, or a dream you've had after snacking while watching said late-night television.]

...

[He doesn't know how to deal with soul-less aliens.]

Ah.

[force_a_change]

[A souless alien that looks like a teenaged girl. Also symmetrical]

Anything else, Mister Kid?

[She may have just leaned in closer when she asked that.]

[symmetrophile]

[That awful moment when the most symmetrical person in the house happens to lack a soul and until recently was stalking around, soaking wet, with a knife in one hand.

Kid stoically leans in the opposite direction, his expression, previously construed as 'dismissively flat', edging into the territory of put off and unnerved.]

I was going to ask 'for what purpose', but the answer wouldn't happen to be something like curiosity, would it?

[force_a_change]

... No, not curiosity.

[She pulls away, giving Kid some space now.]

To find the key to auto-evolution, actually. Since the Entity has reached it's peak of evolution.

[symmetrophile]

And this entity wishes to discover a way to evolve further, by observing humans?

[That's intriguing, but he's not entirely sure how that would work. Didn't modern science say that humans themselves evolved gradually, over many thousands of years?]

[force_a_change]

Yes, since humans haven't finished evolving and well... We have all the time in the world to watch them.

[She's not going to mention that, really, they're more focused on one human in particular. There's no point to it, and Kid may catch that she sounded just a little annoyed at saying the Entity has all the time in the world to watch humans.]

[symmetrophile]

We?

[Again, with the plural.]

I assume you mean your whole purpose is centered around this task, which you must carry out potentially into eternity.

Doesn't that get a little boring?

[force_a_change]

Yes... The Entity is a well... A collective group of formless data-beings, thus we.

[That and it's easier to say "We" instead of "The Entity" all the time.]

Well I've only been observing a certain [pause] area for three years.

And it's only bring when absolutely nothing interesting happens!
