[ seeing as how its body isn't actually made for speech, the voice in this post is telepathic projection and can easily be recognised as such. Bitties will just receive the post in their heads thanks to Kyuubey's agreement with the bitty brigade to provide eternal hivemind reception.

YOU'RE WELCOME. ]

Greetings! My name is Kyuubey. I've been here for some time now, but I need advice from you all... Well, primarily from the humans amongst you. Namely, what should my purpose be in this universe, when my job was to save mine? If I am the result of a failed line of causality, and this a place that collects the detritus from inadequate realities, what is the purpose of our continued existence? We cannot cease to exist from our own desire, which would imply that we are meant to be, but can anyone claim to have contributed something to this reality? Does anyone believe they have a future, or any potential whatsoever, as long as they exist in this tower?

I'm asking only because as unbalanced, emotional species, you are much more likely to produce a rationale for your existence! The logical answer - that we have no future and no present - doesn't really work, does it? We're gonna keep going anyway... I thought I'd find out what you thought, and see if there was something I can do.

Well, it doesn't matter much. Since I have as little meaning here as you guys, let's all be friends!

[Welp. Here we go again.]

Just because we can't affect things outside of this tower doesn't make our lives meaningless, Kyubey.

[ Most of that went over Maya's head, really. ]

Wow, you're really cute... I'd really like to be friends with you, Kyuubey! [ A short pause. ] But what exactly are you?

As expected, Madoka! What gives our lives meaning, in your opinion?

[ it's cool kyuubey's used to dealing with teenage girls of all densities. ]

To you, I'm an alien.

Things like... The bonds we form with the people we meet, and what we leave behind for the ones who will come after. We can at least make things a little easier for each other while we're here, right?

[oh wow, now there's somebody she had hoped to never have to see again!]

Why don't you start by getting the Hell out? What are you even doing here?

[because obviously he's making a conscious choice to be here.]

But Madoka, I'm the only sane member of my species inside this tower! I really don't have the luxury of meeting similar intelligences to mine.

[never mind your existential bullshit, the soldier is confused.]

...What in the hell are you.

I've been here for a while! Long time no see.

From your perspective, I am an alien.

An alien?

[ Maya leans in close to the camera, staring at the white alien. ]

Does that mean you have alien powers...?

Unfortunately, my primary powers were taken away... I guess they'd be obstructive to this universe, after all. I still have some minor abilities that you would think of as alien, though!

And what are those abilities?

Well... Maybe you can start by getting to know the other Kyubey? The one with emotions. You might have a lot more in common than you think!

Or you might find somebody who's like you, but a different species... There's a lot of people here, so you might find someone.

[Another being with a mindset like Kyubey is kind of scary in and of itself, actually.]

Let's see. I can expand my 'consciousness' to communicate with physical beings like yourself. You'd call it telepathy! There are some other abilities, but I couldn't explain them in a way you would comprehend.

[ qb the unintentionally insulting. ]

That's so cool!

[ AND WOW, RUDE??

At least the coolness factor > the insulting factor ]

An alien. Aliens speak perfect albeit dismal English and look like something Otacon would keep on his designated figurine shelf.

We've spoken, but there is not much to say. Our minds are incompatible... Remember what I told you, that for my people, emotions are not a positive trait?

[ it's found a few interesting creatures, but it's like finding a few animals you like in a farmyard for Kyuubey. They're okay to look after, but not what you'd call intellectually stimulating.

On the other hand, animals are better than nothing. ] I suppose you're right about that! The human saying 'beggars can't be choosers' definitely applies here.

Telepathy is how I'm able to talk with you now, in fact.

My body was designed to appeal to girls. It isn't surprising at all that it does not interest you!

Not nearly long enough.

What's with that causal greeting? After everything you put Sayaka through...!

Hm? That's a strange claim. I wasn't the one who killed her, or forced her into despair.

[ unlike someone. :3 ]

I am not human, but I have lived amongst them and studied their behavior for a long time, I hope my answer may provide you with what you need. I would like to begin by defending humanity. You called them an unbalanced and emotional species. that is correct. However, all species are unbalanced, emotional or not.

Furthermore, your initial statement implies that life requires a meaning. However, life in itself requires no such notion. Nature gives a biological purpose to life and sentient beings give a meaning to life. Nature nearly always purposes us to reproduce and perpetuate life.

However, the meaning of one's existence is chosen by ourselves, not by nature. It is a notion that exists neither in nature nor in logic. You resonate that we have no meaning and do not matter because we cannot contribute to this reality or because we have no future. This is an incorrect and narrowed vision that reduces the meaning of life to limited notions.

As an example, many live without purposes, without a meaning. Instead, they cherish the act of living itself. Some lives with the purpose to learn and gather knowledge. For one such person, this tower gave them a chance to accomplish their purposes.

[ Telepathy? How interesting, it doesn't appear to be a Contractor. ]

What might you be?

If we exist for nothing else, we can always devote ourselves to helping others.
