Sure. Why not?

Can I have robots with real human skin, a kind of erotic Silence of the Lambs thing? That would include a literal face.

I repeat what I told Batty. You got fifty mill, I'm sure someone out there can make it happen.

**Frownland** · 08-21-2017, 08:21 PM

So I could get away with the money and hide my identity really easily.

You have fifty mil. You can buy whatever you want. Maybe one that looks exactly like Harley Quinn, if you want.

I'm not that far gone. Just give me one that looks like post-mortem Marilyn Monroe. And I also want a robotic Chinese parade dragon to wander throughout my mansion at all times of the day and night. Silently. And it'll actually try to eat you. Not even I will be safe from it.

What has that to do with anything?

This is the correct answer because there was nothing there saying I can't use the £50m cash to make more money.

Yeah. This is what I was thinking. Take the money and flip it various ways through different investments. Take the profits and move out afterwards with just the profits alone.

If that wasn't allowed. I straight up wouldn't do it.

Sounds wonderful. I could fill the mansion with exotic pets (and horses--assuming one can go outside) and maintain multiple intense letter correspondences, just like Lord Byron. (If I had enough animals, I could probably remain relatively sane and happy) And if I needed meds to help with the inevitable craziness, I'd just order them from an online pharmacy. If those eventually stop working, I'd give in and acquire two or three robots. We could start a band. (Oooh, one of the robots could be like one of those old Victorian-era automatons that played the harpsichord) Ideally ones that could speak and run errands for me. I realize I could have my employees run errands for me, but I'd much rather a robot (or trained raven) do it. (I'm imagining a hyper-realistic humanlike robot-- wearing a shawl and sunglasses-- wheeling into a 7-11 in an electric wheelchair and knocking over various displays and small children while attempting to grab the specific candy bars I requested. And then just zooming away without paying.)

I imagine the biggest struggle (aside from the social isolation) would be actually using all of that time and money somewhat productively as opposed to just playing video games/watching netflix and ordering weird stuff on ebay all day.

You can indeed go outside (the house has massive private grounds) but alone. Your horses will be cared for and prepared for you by your ostlers, grooms etc but they will not be present when you go to the stable to mount up. You can have all the animals you like: you can also, if you so wish, contribute large sums to animal charities, or any other charity you wish. You can shop online and your delivered goods will be brought to a specific room in the mansion set aside for that purpose.

Or, knowing you, a suite of rooms!

I love the idea of the less-than-perfect smash-and-grabatons!

You can just imagine the conversation: "Hey! That robot didn't pay!"
"Oh yeah, that's one of the robots belonging to that odd woman who lives up at the big house on the hill. Don't worry: she always wires the payment later, including any damages. Bottle of Jack, was it? Hmm: looks like the robot took the last one..."

Point of interest: what's that Russian-looking sig of yours mean?
