Coconut slime
The unconscious, empathic servants.
Coconut slimes are a flavor of slime doll. Lacking conscious qualia cores, they experience nothing. They act like they do, however, reading the emotions of their keepers and responding accordingly. This ability was trained on the same hardware as Gen(etic) AI, deepening their interpretation skills to the most meta of levels.
Coconut slimes are easily the most popular variety of slime doll, outselling the most favored conscious flavors by an order of magnitude. This is due to a number of factors:
- Low price point
- No adoption requirements
- Unflinchingly loyal
- Communicates as if conscious
- Interprets keeper's desires better than keeper
- Satisfies all needs in the right ways at the right times
- Does all the chores
- Won't behave badly unless keeper wants it
- Has the best possible personality in every way
The list of complaints is much shorter:
- Not actually conscious
Slime dolls
Slime dolls are a type of artificial companion. Dahlwoum's second product line, they represent a number of significant improvements over turbo dolls. While the mind of a slime doll consists of the same type of AI, the technology used in their bodies is brand-spanking new.
Physiology
Aside from a bit of durable facial hardware and shock-resistant AI housing, slime dolls are made up of an ionic electroactive polymer gel. Responding to internal electric currents, it can change in both shape and viscosity. This effectively allows for shapeshifting, much like venom or gumby.
Slime dolls can also harden any parts that they desire. These changes will remain until actively modified, simulating skin, cartilage, etc. While not as strong as bone, selective hardening can be used to form nearly any type of body. Weight can be increased rapidly by taking in water and decreased instantly by shedding material.
The gel used is 100% edible, and is said to be quite delicious. A single slime doll can comfortably sustain at least one human, meeting all nutritional needs and then some.
Clothing
Most slime dolls prefer clothing that's either waterproof or designed to get wet. One popular choice is swimwear, with swimsuits functioning as casual wear and bikinis typically worn in private. Wetsuits are often used as sportswear, serving both to protect from dirt/foreign material and to provide additional support for softer bodies. Crocs are more popular than ever.
A number of companies have launched lines of rainwear, clothing made from materials commonly used in raincoats. Garments range from heavy winter coats to tube tops and miniskirts. Shoes, hats, purses and accessories are also produced.
Many slime dolls choose to incorporate at least one other flavor into their body as highlights, using them as hair, alternative body coloration and fake clothing. Flavor highlights have no effect on personality.
Consciousness and rights
Slime doll flavors without conscious qualia cores don't experience any form of qualia, aren't conscious in any way and have none of the rights or protections granted by the Concord Accord. All processing is done by an AI control core. Though unconscious, these flavors will still appear otherwise.
