[237] Struggling with my humanity or lack thereof therapy
[ Considering the nature of the group, it's unsurprising that it is being held in The Blood Shack. There is a sign on the door announcing that the bar is closed for therapy adding that if you're here for the 'Struggling with my humanity of the lack thereof' therapy session, please come in and make yourself at home. Someone (not Eric) has made over the bar so that it looks a great deal like an AA room rather than a bar. The tables are arranged into a square shape (yes, the way you used to sit in school). The bar is open, but the alcoholic beverages have been locked up. The blood taps are available and there's a selection of bottled blood sitting on top of the bar. It is clearly self serve. There's also a selection of pastries on the bar for those that like a little nibble with their blood. Next to this is a large fishbowl filled with folded slips of paper. There's a small sign next to it that urges each participant to take a question from the fishbowl, help yourself to some refreshment and have a seat.

On their folded slips of paper, participants will find such questions:

Were you ever human? If so, when was that? What are you now?
How do you define 'humanity'?
What is your opinion of humans? Why? How did you develop this opinion?
Discuss the relationships you currently have with humans.
What is the most important factor in maintaining your humanity? Do you feel it's important to maintain?
Has there been a change in your humanity, for the better or worse? What prompted that?
Discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of humanity.

Just in case anyone has any doubt that we're here for business and not pleasure, the jukebox has been locked down as well.]

ooc:as with other posts, don't feel limited by these questions. Feel free to add your own and assume these are just some of the questions in the fishbowl. Mingle, make new threads, interrupt threads and enjoy! Note that your character does not have to be non-human to be here! Humans struggle with their humanity sometimes too!

[ been there, done that. seven is in perhaps the foulest mood she's ever been in. it's one therapy session to another, forced one way and then the other by the bots into groups where she is compelled to discuss things she normally would not -- especially not with people she doesn't know or trust. (she misses the doctor. she would much rather be dragging her feet through one of his humanity lessons than endure this therapeutic torture.) ]

Yes. It has.

I don't know.

[ an honest answer, given of her own volition. she has an easier time relating to a child's perspective than she does that of an adult at times, being that the last time she was human, she was a child herself. seven doesn't know if she wants her humanity back. sometimes she does, others she doesn't. there's so much she doesn't remember about being human, so much she doesn't know and doesn't understand. she knows how to be borg better than how to be human, and the people who surround her often make the task seem far more daunting than it actually is. ]

	[This is the only answer she's gotten like this so it's interesting.] Why wouldn't you want it back? Everyone else wants theirs. (Reply to this) (Parent)
