Event Thirteen.

[awashmods]

To love a human face was to discover The cracks of paint and varnish on the brow; Soon to distrust all impulses of flesh That strews its sawdust on the chamber floor, While at the window peer two crones Who once were Juliet and Jessica.

t's a regular morning here in the Town. The sun isn't shining at all, snow is falling like crazy, and...there may be the sounds of shouts coming from the well, thoroughly muffled. Okay, so it's not a regular morning at all, but you'd better go help those people! The newcomers are here again. Of course, once you get to the well, you'll notice that there's actually no real help you can offer -- it's totally frozen over. As for the newcomers, well... hopefully being suddenly dumped into freezing cold water in the middle of November in a dark, damp well is your idea of a good time, because that's your life now! And that's not even taking into account the mirrors in everyone's homes that are about to wake up and start chattering... Welcome to Awash's thirteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. Please keep in mind that while this is a general event log, it is also an intro log; be sure to pay plenty of attention to our newcomers! If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

Does anybody here know how to dismantle you?

[Even if somebody did, he doesn't think anybody would try it.]

That seems like a poor design choice.

[usedlick]

Doubtful, since most people here don't even know about androids. But what happens when I return to Detroit?

[At this time, there isn't a known way to reverse deviancy. More likely, they would just destroy him.]

And it isn't a design choice. Malfunctions in our programming leads to unpredictable behavior.

[promissum]

Do you have to?

Then they should've finished debugging you before releasing to the public.

[usedlick]

[OOF... Accusing him of being buggy!

He doesn't even want to think about the question of whether he can just... not go back to Detroit, though. It's not like he has a choice, after all.]

Of course I do. I have a mission to complete.

I'm perfectly stable, though. I'm not going to deviate.

[promissum]

Is it so important that only you can do it? Or have people simply told you that? There is a difference between the two.

[usedlick]

It's a mission I was designed for. I was created to do it.

[So what else is he gonna do?]

[promissum]

So you were told you had to care about this mission.

[usedlick]

It's what I'm created to do.

[Maybe if he just repeats it, Valvatorez will get it?]

[promissum]

And after that what will you do?
