What inflators do?

Actually, what inflators are for?

Can you clarify what you mean, Lopni? The choice of words is not making sense in my head.

for me either, Murkstorm ^_^

can you give a single example of a story or piece of art where inflator is crucial, remove him/her and entire scene breaks down?

inflator of inflatees is such a useless creature, don't you think?

Off the top of my head, I would imagine the roll of an inflator is to inflate those that either wouldn't or couldn't inflate themselves for any number of reasons.

Lopni

Thank you old friend, do you mean someone who wouldn't inflate is inflator herself - inflator of inflators?

 

someone who couldn't inflate as in

 

- hello, i'm your inflatee

- great, let's inflate you! Where's your heliumtank?

- why ask me, you're inflator

 

or

 

- hello, let's inflate you

- oh no, i can't inflate. I'll help you define your Key Parameters of Inflation

- O:o

 

i just can't think of a single situation where inflator of inflatees is of any use ^_^

(why are you standing over there, come find some helium or at least coffee for us inflatees ^_^ )

"Hey let me inflate you"

"No way, I don't want to inflate"

"Everyone else wants you to. Here, let me inflate you"

[Inflation hijinks and fun ensue]

==Or==

"Hey, I inflated myself too big and dropped my pump, mind helping me?"

"Sure, I can inflate you"

[Inflation hijinks happen]

love the dialogues ^_^

 

inflatees love to inflate, they are eager to produce pleasant roundness. If someone gives the specs - great, if not - they'll inflate for themselves

inflators don't want to inflate themselves, but love to inflate others - so in the first dialogue you have two inflators. Inflators of inflators ^_^

 

in the second dialogue - yes! that's inflator of inflatees ^_^

however, may i point that in a world where inflatees are willing to inflate she'll only hear "thank you, I'm fine" (let's leave aside an issue whether inflatee will let anyone touch their pump ^_^ )

she's open and honest, transparency goes along with growth, but this state is not for long. She might pop herself, then she'll write journals detailing how each tatter feels. If she has skills she might evolve into a beautiful inflatee with time. If she has the spirit - she'll become inflator of inflators
