Organic Portals, or "O.P.s", are quite simply soulless organic robots that
pass as
humans in the everyday
world. O.P.s are remarkably efficient, quite common, and can be found at home, in the workplace, or generally anywhere that genuine souled
humans are found. O.P.s are completely incapable of generating emotional energy for themselves, so they feed off the emotional energy of souled
humans. O.P.s are apparently indifferent as to whether the emotional energy is positive or negative in nature, and appear to assimilate both with equal ease. O.P.s can often be identified while taking repeated actions which hurt you and other people that the O.P. supposedly cares about. When asked about their behavior, an O.P.
will provide a completely incoherent explanation for their actions, and then promptly continue repeating the same actions as if nothing had happened. O.P.s do appear to have some limited capacity for learning. Experienced O.P.s have been observed to delay immediate gratification in favor of orchestrating one large dramatic event in which they can extract a large amount of emotion from you and a number of others all at the same
time.
Example 1: I should have realized that she was an O.P. after the second
time she cheated on me, but she charmed me
right back into denial.
Example 2: I can't believe that freeking O.P. had the nerve to bitch to my boss about me
right after telling me to my face how much she enjoyed working with me.
Example 3: The O.P.s said I have to be home by midnight.
Example 4: I am -so- sorry I ever had a
child with that O.P.
Example 5: I am -so- sorry I ever loaned money to that O.P.
Example 6:
Don't let that O.P. get you down.
Example 7: Can you believe it? That O.P. actually took responsibility for something!
Example 8: In business news, O.P. Inc. was purchased by O.P. Bank.
Example 9: Normally I would be against the death penalty, but that O.P. should
fry.
Example 10: Stop acting
like an O.P. and show some goddam emotion already!
