Hi! Thanks for agreeing to chat with me now that you\u2019ve had your human body for a couple weeks. I\u2019m excited to hear about how things have been going. Here\u2019s how I\u2019d like to spend our time: we will have an open conversation and explore your experiences. Later on, I have some specific questions that I would like you to answer, to get more specific feedback. At last, I\u2019ll be sure to leave enough time at the end for any questions I might be able to help you with.<\/p>\n

Does that sound good?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Sure, sounds good.<\/p>\n

Awesome. So is there anything you\u2019ve noticed that you particularly like about your new body?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Well, I like these sausagy things, but there\u2019s one that is too short and out of the way, I wish they were all the same length and pointing in the same direction.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to assume you\u2019re talking about your fingers. The little one is called \u201cthumb\u201d. Has it been useful in any way?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Not really.<\/p>\n

What if you want to grab something?<\/strong>
\n\u2014 I don\u2019t see a problem. I have more sausagy things.<\/p>\n

\n

That\u2019s true. Anything else about the fingers that you\u2019d like to share?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Let me think. Five sounds like too much, no? Maybe two or three would be enough.<\/p>\n

Were there any particular situations where those extra couple of fingers were in the way?<\/strong>
\n\u2014 Yeah I was in bed with a friend\u2026<\/p>\n

That\u2019s enough. Thank you. Any other aspects of your body you\u2019ve particularly enjoyed or liked over the past couple of weeks?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 As I was saying, I was in bed\u2026<\/p>\n

GOT IT. Let\u2019s move on. Have there been any events or situations where you\u2019ve found your new body limiting?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Yes I tried to fly from a tree branch and realized quickly that I couldn\u2019t fly.<\/p>\n

How did you reach that realization?<\/strong>
\n\u2014 I fell. Straight to the ground, landed on my arm. Which also made me realize these arm things aren\u2019t very good at taking impact, the bones are pretty weak. I had to see someone called a \u201cdoc\u201d and now I have this cast thing on. Are you going to fix that?<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Oh my! I\u2019m sorry to hear that happened. I\u2019ll take a note to make sure we cover that type of bug in the design for later versions. How does the cast change things for you as you evaluate your body?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 I can decorate it with doodles. I really like that. If I do it on the outer layer of the body it wears off. Are you going to make cases for the body? Like with flowers and stuff. I saw some people wearing them.<\/p>\n

You mean clothes? Sir, are you walking around naked?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 What are clothes?<\/p>\n

Never mind. Let me ask you something. How has the temperature regulation been in the new body?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Hmmm\u2026 what\u2019s that word\u2026? Cold! Yeah, that\u2019s it! This body doesn\u2019t have enough fur. Except in some funny parts, where it shouldn\u2019t. You should definitely review the fur.<\/p>\n

Interesting\u2026 I\u2019d like to switch gears a little to focus on keeping the body up and running. In your orientation, we went over things like eating and grooming. Is there anything noteworthy you\u2019d like to share about those kinds of processes?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Eating is good. I like that. But I felt it was a bit random. There were no clear instructions on what I should or shouldn\u2019t eat. I enjoyed the sweet things. I don\u2019t really know why you offer green stuff with no taste.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Vegetables?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Whatever you call it. The red stuff was good, like tomatoes sometimes, when they came with cheese, in a bun, with bacon, and meat.<\/p>\n

Burgers?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 YES! Those were really good. I basically just ate those.<\/p>\n

Welcome to America.
\n<\/strong>\u2014 What?<\/p>\n

Nothing. Thank you so much! That\u2019s all for regarding that subject. I just have a few more questions. On a scale from 1\u20135, where 1 is\u00a0\u201cI wish I had my old self back\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and 5 is\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t believe I didn\u2019t get this body sooner\u201d<\/em>:
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Not having a body is very different, you can do a lot of stuff if you have a nice working body I guess. I\u2019ll say 4.<\/p>\n

How would you rate your satisfaction level with your new body so far?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 2. Maybe 3 on a good day.<\/p>\n

Is there anything in particular that lead you to answer that way?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 It\u2019s kind of slow and fragile. I wish it was faster. And bigger too.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

How likely are you to recommend this experience to a friend?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 3.<\/p>\n

Is there anything in particular that lead you to answer that way?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 It\u2019s fun to use for a while. But I guess you might get tired of it after a while, and would like to change it for a newer, faster, better-looking model.<\/p>\n

Right on the spot. And finally, what\u2019s one thing you really hope will be added to your body in the future?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 Wings. Or wheels. Whatever makes it faster. And fur. I said fur before, didn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n

You did. What value would that addition provide to you?
\n<\/strong>\u2014 I want to be faster. And warmer.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for all your feedback\u200a\u2014\u200ayou\u2019ll receive the gift certificate to the new body maintenance shop shortly. I\u2019ll talk to you again in a few weeks. Take care!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
