It was slow going trying to get to Pundani. Very slow. The Golem had been taking jobs here and there in which it could do stuff to pay for its way. It'd managed to work for awhile on a freight train to get the stuff needed to pay its way. But the ocean was going to be a different matter entirely. Some Golems had a letter that could be rubbed off to deactivate them. Some golems had other things. Lovecraft's Golem wasn't sure what could deactivate it, but it wouldn't be taking that risk. It had to find Lovecraft. And the last it had heard of her she had been in Pundani. |

((Sorry this took so long! College has been kicking my ass!)) The Golem's musings on how to cross the water were interuppted by a rather odd pair of siblings wading ankle-deep through said water. One was a bespectacled unicorn with a rather vivid lock of neon green hair in his otherwise black mane, while the other is... um.... well she was shaped like a mare at least, and a rather beautiful mare at that, though something about her made her fall firmly in uncanny valley category. 'Course the fact that her body was made up of various types of stone; mostly marble, but with bits of granite here and there, might have had something to do with it. "Look, I'm telling you Sis, the idea is perfect! You and me could corner the undersea reality business! Land on the ocean floor is dirt cheap, and I've already got plans drawn up for undersea habitats! I've already got a name picked out for my proof of concept city; "Rapture." Come on! You know that if things keep up this way everybody's going to be heading under the briny! We'd just be providing them with a place to live!" Siggy needled, trying to recruit his sister into one of his zany schemes, Galatea, however, was having none of that. "You just want my help because I don't need to breathe," She says cutting to the heart of the matter, "I am no longer a simple construction golem, you have seen to that." "What? No, no, no, I didn't mean that at all! Here, my sub's docked nearby, I'll show you the spot I've picked out! Come on, it'll be fun!" Siggy says. |

Lovecraft's Golem stayed where it was, watching as the stallion called the Golem its sister. An amusing concept, considering that the relation was impossible. Lovecraft's Golem started easing its way closer, walking in the direction they were. Her progress was slow… But It couldn't hurt to have a chance to talk to another Golem. Particularly one that had intelligence as well. The Golem itself looked nothing like a pony, more than anything it was a pile of rolling rocks of various sizes. If it focused it could move the multitude of rocks that compromised it to look vaguely ponyish, and only in shape. But even that was no good, and quite inefficient for moving around. Its design was far from the best. Edited by yew, Sep 14 2012, 12:21 PM.

"Ha, just you wait until you see my sub, Sis! I built her myself you know. All the benefits of a water breathing potion without having to get your fur wet. There's all thes- Gack!" Siggy said, chocking off as Galatea tugs him back by the straps of his PAK, "Ow! what was that for?" Instead of answering Galatea heads off at her own top speed, aka a sedate stroll, towards Lovecraft's Golem with a confused looking Siggy trailing behind her. "Hello." Galatea says once she makes her way to Lovecraft's Golem, "My name is Galatea L'Etoile. I work for the Society for the Advancement of Unorthodox Equestrians. Do you require assistance?" |

It was weird to be asked if it required assistance. It had never been asked if it needed assistance, it provided assistance. Probably for the fact that most golems were more animals and robots than actual beings in on of themselves. "I must find a temporary function to pay the fee for boat to Pundani." Lovecraft's Golem replied. It itself couldn't just be a passenger. It had no money, and just sitting around without a temporary function would just seem wrong. It wasn't its primary function, but sitting around purposeless was… Inefficient. |

"Huh, a temporary function you say?" Siggy muses. "A job." Galatea sternly corrects. She did not like anything that suggested that Golems were anything other than equal to ponies. "What are your specs? How much heat can you handle? Pressure?" Siggy asks the Golem, while ignoring his sister. "Significantly Analyzed Magic. You can not be suggesting treating this poor innocent soul like simple machinery!" Galatea says working up a fine lather of indignation. "Of course not! I'm planing on treating him as an employee able to safely operate in conditions normal ponies can't and compensate him appropriately." Siggy retorts working up a matching lather of indignation. Of course, underneath it all, it was still the comfortable arguing of siblings instead of the heated argument between those that lack such a bond. |

"Golems have no need of sex or gender. Lovecraft's Golem can function at temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees Farenheight. This structure can also withstand _ pounds of pressure per square inch." It was not insulted in the least. The RPer's reasoning for the numbers was that stone golems could be firemen, so they would have to be able to take the temperatures that fire can belt out. and as for pressure? She wasn't sure what would be good, so she put a blank to be filled in with whatever seemed appropriate. Try not to think too much on it or have a massive debate in the chat box.

At that, Galatea launches into a lecture of the value of gender for a golem, however Siggy had heard enough of his "sisters" lectures on such things that he automatically tuned it out, instead turning to Lovecraft's Golem and saying; "Hmmm.... I'm guessing you aren't certain how water will affect your runic circuitry which is why you don't just walk to Pundani right? Meh, don't worry, underwater cities are so sixty seconds ago." "Um.... let's see... 2,000 degrees eh? Yeah, that's good for Lava diving. There's this tropical island half-way between here and Pundani with the cutest little dormant volcano. I've got everything set up to carve out a semi-evil lair in it, all I need is someone to poke around and make sure I won't get gushed on by lava the moment I start building. If you do that, I'll take you to Pundani on my sub." Just as Siggy was finishing up his offer, Galatea was finishing up her own lecture. She was pointing at a graph that was part of a presentation on gender that she got from..... somewhere, and saying; "....and that is why having a gender identity has both professional and personal benefits. The Society for the Advancement of Unorthodox Equestrians offers free counseling and exams to help you determine what gender alignment is best for you." |

Semi-evil layer? Well Lovecraft's Golem wasn't concerned as for good and evil. There was is temporary primary function of finding Lovecraft. And finding its true primary diction. Anything beyond that was a moot point. It would do whatever was needed. And if that was declaring a gender it would take it. "Request for golem. Repeat." Lovecraft's Golem said in its typical grating voice. "There was interference by the horned biological equine." And Lovecraft's Golem did not yet know how to read, so the text of the presentation was a lost point on Lovecraft's Golem. It could, however, see the pictures. |

By time Galatea finished redoing her speech, Siggy had already wandered away to tinker around with his Sub and Lovecraft's Golem would know more than any sane being would ever want to know about Golems and Gender identities. Just like before she finished up her lecture by pointing at a graph that was part of a presentation on gender that she got from..... somewhere, and saying; "....and that is why having a gender identity has both professional and personal benefits. The Society for the Advancement of Unorthodox Equestrians offers free counseling and exams to help you determine what gender alignment is best for you." "Just between you and me, I think you would make a good, strong female. Most of the Golems that choose to be male tend to overcompensate their masculinity," Galatea adds in almost a conspiratorial tone, "Though I did know this delightful female kill-o-tron. Last I heard she wanted to start a bakery." |

Lovecraft's Golem just nodded. "Evidence received, will catalog for future analyzes." It said to Galatea. It would probably not go there. Going to that place would take time that it didn't have. It was a slow traveler and everything. It couldn't spare the time. It had a temporary function to complete- finding its programmed function from its creator. |

Galatea eyes Lovecraft's Golem critically. The passivity it showed off wasn't uncommon for a golem, and was often included during their creation as a sort of soft control method. It was a big obstacle in the way of Golem independence. Harumph, well she had ways of dealing with THAT. "Siggy will be whacking his submarine with a wrench for the rest of the day. Come on, let's hit the town" She says grabbing her fellow golem by... uh, er, wherever would be convenient to grab and heading for the sea side town arrayed above the beach. "I saw this place that should be able to polish you right up. You'll want to look your best when you get wherever you're going, right?" |

"Size comparison makes such an action unlikely and inadvisable." Lovecraft's Golem was sizable and made of stone, but it wouldn't hit the town. Or any resident of the town that they were currently in because such actions was inadvisable. Lovecraft's Golem rolled along by Galatea, slow and cumbersome. "I would rather stay in the vicinity of the submarine so that departure time will be quick and immediate upon the finishing of the submarine. Appearances are irrelevant." Lovecraft knew what Lovecraft's Golem looked like, and that was whom Lovecraft's Golem was looking for. Being polished would be a moot point. Hiding the truth that Lovecraft knew was there. |
