"Aw, man, so we can look forward to this again next year, huh?" Cam contemplated the vampire gourds with a frown. If I'm still here next year, they thought, instinctively, but where else would they be? Actually, better not to think about that. That was just depressing.
"I mean, 'cyborg' technically just means a person with, uh, cybernetic enhancements? Like, technology grafted onto their body? In my world, they're not necessarily good or bad -- depends on the piece of fiction you're engaging with. There's Cyborg, a comic book hero; he's probably the most famous one. But there are bad ones too ... I mean, like I said, they're fictional where I come from." Cam shrugged, realizing that Wessex probably didn't care about the explanation. "Ascended does sound a lot cooler, though. I can totally understand preferring that term. I won't go around calling you a cyborg or anything if you don't like it."
Though, Cam realized, Ascended implied a certain superiority ... Based on their previous conversations with Wessex, though, they weren't sure she'd appreciate the semantic discussion. Especially when there were gourds to smash, as Cam got to work on now, smacking one gourd with their stick and stabbing it through another.
"That is so cool ... Magic and technology working together is such an interesting concept." And not just a concept anymore, but a reality. Cam grinned, glad they'd ended up in Caido, even if it had its disadvantages.
