Private Finished Puzzling Problems

Alby was a little surprised by the fact that they really were AI, but also took notice at how Nebula clearly did not like being called human. His mind instantly wondered why. "I'm sorry, I only meant that you don't act like any robot I've ever seen, you can normally tell when something is a robot where I'm from and it's usually emotionless. Though I am curious, why is it so bad to be called human? I've always thought that AI is considered successful for acting human."

Alby noted down how Nebula was created and the fact that they possessed magic. That would certainly be his next question. He was dying to see some.

“Oh, a joke.” Though it was useful to learn not to use human the way he had in the past, perhaps that would come in handy later on.

Alby watched as the pixie jumped down and fluttered to an open space, then changed into a different form, much larger. His eyes widened as he dropped all thoughts to become impressed by what he’d just witnessed. “You can change form at will?!” He didn’t write anything down just yet, hoping to learn a bit more before doing that.

“Is this the only other form you can take, or can you do more?” It was a little weird seeing her even taller than him, he’d gotten so used to the smaller form.

"Ah, that makes sense." he wondered just how big or small she could get, but the urge to see what other tricks she knew was too great to be overlooked. He jotted down another note then moved onto the next question.

"Soo, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Aside from all the incredible stuff so far." A curious grin swept across his face. He'd already seen so much in such a short time, but he was greedy. Seeing a lot wasn't enough, he wanted to see everything. He could go on asking questions for days if nobody stopped him, he lived for moments like this.

"Whoa ho ho" Alby let out an amused laugh as he received more than he expected in response to his question. He wrote each ability down carefully but quickly, taking another read through when he was finished. He was wondering about the hair, but he really didn't expect that it was actually a bunch of functional cables. The wifi part must have also been extremely handy. And then the telepathy which he'd learned earlier and telekinesis? Telekinesis was particularly interesting to him, he'd have to ask her more about that one.

He was surprised when the pixie questioned him back. Though he had no problem with it, after all, she'd been answering his questions so kindly, it was only fair that he did the same. "Well, I suppose I can show you."

Alby walked over and stood right in front of his desk, facing the spoon lying on the corner. "Stay put, I don't want you to get hurt by mistake." He didn't exactly have a lot of juice left in the tank, but he figured he could still put on somewhat of a show.

He took a deep breath in, then out, and assumed a readied stance. He held both hands out, bending his fingers at the ends. He then made faint struggling noises as his eyes slowly came to a white glow and a green light surrounded the spoon. He dug his feet into the ground as the noises got louder and the spoon began to levitate. Slowly it began to get higher, until it got to eye level with Alby. At this point, the glow left both his eyes and the spoon, and the boy collapsed on the ground. The time the spoon hovered came in somewhere around 25 seconds in total. Not his best, seeing as how he was already tired.

He stayed on the ground panting afterwards, far too weak to get up. Then turned his eyes upward to Nebula. "Ta... Da..."

Alby was glad they were impressed, it was reassuring that people still found his special trick cool despite what they were capable of themselves. In his totally drained state, none of the sarcasm hit home, flying over his head which was currently stuck to the floor.

"Heh, don't worry, it's okay. This has happened before, I just pushed myself a little too far." He felt faint bits of strength return to his body, taking advantage of it to lift himself up with his arm, only to flop back down immediately with a quiet thud. "ow."

His breathing was still heavy, and as he managed to flip himself onto his back, his face was revealed to be beet red. It looked like he'd just finished running a day long marathon. "actually, some water might be nice." He was clearly a little out of it. He wanted to keep asking more questions, but he couldn't even gather the energy to stand up.
