Week 4

[airlockedmods]

[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.

Let's see what this week brings.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

You? Looking out for others? [He seems kind of surprised about that] Leaving aside your title, you didn't seem to me the type to care about anyone. You even said so when we first met.

[Which, coincidentally, was in a kitchen, too]

[myocordial]

I'm not accustomed to looking out for humans. [Which most of everyone left is.] And when we'd just arrived, I had no real investment in any of you.

But I was the leader of my kind and I was responsible for them all, so of course I looked out for them. Seeing as we're in this together, I see no reason not to do the same for those still here.

[imnotfat]

Right, you mentioned not being human too. How many of you are there, exactly?

[Church is a computer AI, apparently, so that makes him unique. If Heart was the leader of his kind, then there must be a lot more than one, he supposes]

[myocordial]

My creator made 108 of us, myself included. And his old partner made one by himself, separately.

So 109 total.

[imnotfat]

...tell me you didn't get called 'Heart' because you're the heart of your group.

[108 is not a small number, that's for sure!]

[myocordial]

[He chuckles.]

Well. Roidmude names are very... literal. We take them after we've reached our evolution, to better fit our strengths. And sometimes our new appearances as well.

So in a way, that's not incorrect.

[imnotfat]

[Since you don't look like a guy who'd be named 'Heart', it can't be for your appearance, so he supposes it's because of your strength. Strength of heart, huh...sure, that's fine]

I see. I guess I understand. [At least by trying to put it in the most straightforward way possible in his head. It helps to overlook the weirdness factor] Any particular reason by roidmudes look like humans?

[myocordial]

We're capable of synchronizing with humans, copying their appearance and memories. It's a necessary step in our growth.

Not to mention it would be very inconvenient to walk around looking obviously out of place, wouldn't it?
