Alice Grove MCDT - November 2014

<< < (21/32) > >>

Mlle Germain:
This is how I understood what she said, too.
And I think she's right in a sense -- Ardent does seem to be mostly after being passively entertained by a culture that he considers primitive compared to his own to me. Also, he seems to expect to get special attention (and possibly perks?) because he's a stranger.

(I don't like Ardent. I wish the story was focused on Alice more. Only my personal opinion, of course.)

mikmaxs:
Question:
Why would Ardent find human females sexy, for exactly the same reason that modern men find women sexy? Either it's just a thing because Jeph finds it funny, or else Ardent has been around human females (or at least, things that look exactly like human females) before. I don't know what this means, but it seems important.

BenRG:
@Mikmaxs,

It is likely mostly for the lulz, yes. However there is such a thing as xenophilia.

Zebediah:
It appears that Ardent is human, more or less - he's been genetically modified from a standard human body plan, but still falls in genus Homo. And he comes from a culture with lots of variation in body type, but that probably includes a fair number of "standard" human females. So why wouldn't he find them attractive?

Method of Madness:

Alice's entire characteristic seems to be "good at falling" and "people trust her". I wonder if she likes being the most unusual person in town, which is why she's irked by Ardent.

@BenRG - "on the pull"?
