community housing
[ Anyone who knows Ronan Lynch or has seen him around will recognize his raven Chainsaw swooping around menacingly in front of the community housing. Is she hunting something? Trying to gouge your eyes out?
Another look will reveal Adam standing below her trajectory. Every so often, he tosses up some food that gets her to swoop and calls out something in Latin. Whatever he's saying, she responds by doing aerobatic tricks.
Stand there long enough and she might come barreling worryingly close to you. ]
breaking and centering
[ Have some sort of vehicle that needs a tune-up? Or just want to find someone with a wrench? Breaking and Centering is your place! Adam is working, but it's a slow day. If you're just passing by, he's balancing on a workbench with a textbook in his lap and a wrench in the other.
If you're bringing him something to look at, you might be treated to a mildly judgmental: ] What did you do to it?
perimeter
[ Adam has been taking classes at the university, but he's not getting all of the information he wants. Therefore, he has to find it for himself. He takes some light provisions, long-sleeved shirt and pants to protect from strange plants, a knife, cheap binoculars, and a notebook.
The plan is to find a creature he's never seen before and study it from afar. Find him kneeling between overgrown plants and taking notes, or maybe save him from a creature that will probably eat him. ]
etc.
[ Or write-your-own-adventure! If you want me to write up a prompt, hit me up @
faildere/PM
As a note, I'll be on hiatus from June 1-14 and I'll backtag after that! No worries about dropping anything that's too late, though. ]

How some of them are. Me, I find it uncomfortable. I think a lot of this stuff should be kept private. Especially when you're in a city full of strangers.
no subject
It doesn't make sense to share your whole life story with someone you just met, does it? It could even be dangerous.
no subject
I wonder what the city gets from all of this sharing.
no subject
As of now, everything seems as if the higher ups were... genuinely concerned about the citizens' well being. No ulterior motives.
[She sounds surprised to admit it, but that's what the facts seem to be pointing at.]
Conflicts still do happen. I witnessed some myself. I suspect that too is a part of being human.
no subject
If I had to guess, I think they'd be interested in information gathering. Gather people from wildly different places, get them close to each other so they share secrets, spy on them and learn. But that's just an idea.
[ No proof, which means he's not actively worried about it. ]
You don't have conflicts with other androids, you mean?
no subject
[She speaks quietly. For some reason, 2B's face is turned away from Adam, avoiding his gaze.]
However there are... incidents.
[She's obviously not proud to admit it.]

no subject
Some go rogue, and are dangerous. Sometimes, androids can also have selfish desires that put them in conflict with others.
no subject
How do they develop those desires? If they're programmed for humans.
no subject
[Didn't she admit something like that not too long ago?]
It would be much more efficient if androids had no free will or emotions and only performed whatever duties they have.
[2B knows well it would save her a lot of anguish, too.]
But that's not how things are. Whatever the reason is, I don't know it. If there even is one.
