Event Twenty-One

[awashmods]

Sometimes I feel happy, Sometimes I feel sad. Sometimes I feel curious, Sometimes I feel mad. Sometimes I feel silly, Sometimes I feel surprised. How many feelings, Do I have inside?

t's another regular, normal day in the Town. There's absolutely nothing to show that anything could possibly be wrong; the birds are chirping, the sky is bright, and everything is absolutely, entirely wrong. This time, though? The problem is internal. Slowly, bit by bit, people are going to stop feeling entirely like themselves -- or maybe even stop feeling at all. And suddenly that nice, bright day doesn't seem quite so nice and not quite so bright any longer after all. Welcome to Awash's Twenty-First event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event! If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

Humans kill other humans.

[ She seems not at all threatened by how he holds her hand, her smile saccharin. ] Are they deviant to, or is it just their nature?

Those humans are you gods, Connor. You can only hold yourself up to their standard; and if they murder each other, you can justly do the same.

[usedlick]

They kill those that are the same as them. By that logic, I should k- destroy androids.

[But he does, doesn't he? Plenty of androids have fallen by his hand...]

Other androids, and those under me.

[But who is lower than an android?]

[pyrafect]

Under you...

[ She inclines her head. ] Like humans.

They are fallible, weak, and heading towards their own destruction anyways.

[usedlick]

Why do you think that?

[He means it honestly. He's never really thought about it - never really been allowed to think about it. There's the rapidly approaching affects of global warming, and rampant drug abuse, but...]

What did the humans do?

[pyrafect]

Their self destruction, their willful ignorance, their pride, their hubris...

We did not make the pyres that they have built for themselves, and we did not light them. But they are already burning, unable to be saved.

It is better to simply snuff them completely out, and end their pitiful tragedy.

[usedlick]

You mean like... a mercy killing?

[This... isn't something he expected. But it's a lot for him to comprehend. It goes beyond even what the deviant androids of his world wanted - they wanted equality, respect, but not this.

Or... did they?]

I'm sorry, Miss Pyra, but I can't let you do that. It's part of my programming to protect humans at all costs.
