The Story:


From Friday, March 9, through Friday, March 16, the gardens and grounds of the Mansion will be a sprawling a carnival. The masked, unspeaking vendors will be selling trinkets and running free game booths. Carnival rides, exhibits, and foods represent all of the various cultures of those currently residing in the Mansion.

[This is the most robotic of robots he has ever met. Not only does it they look inhuman, but they also do what you want!]

Really? For me?

[He follows them over to the booth with the happiest smile on his face.]

Thank you so much! I owe you big time for this!

[Would the robot take this seriously, he wonders?]

[forwearemany]

(Actually, they don't always do what you want. They just don't mind helping others.

...Also they're really curious what important purpose a stuffed animal could serve.)

Acknowledged. You are welcome.

(It's sort of a welcome distraction: they've spent most of their time just wandering around, feeling alone despite the crowds.

They examine the game in question: though it is clearly designed to be misleading and difficult, they are reasonably certain of their ability to win.

...They're right.)

[shslliar]

[That win is being cheered on by a very happy customer.]

YAAAAAY! THAT WAS AWESOME!

[forwearemany]

(And they'll give Kokichi the stuffed horse requested.)

Acknowledged. Thank you.

(This is actually one of the better things that happened today.)

[shslliar]

[He shall take that horse and hug it real tight. Look, it's almost as long as he is tall. Almost makes him more childish than he already seems.]

Nonono, I should be thanking you for winning this for me...

... Wait, what's your name again?

[forwearemany]

(They watch, chattering.)

We are Legion.

[shslliar]

[Using the Royal We, are we?]

Legion-chan! You must be the best robot ever!

[forwearemany]

(Nope! They're just over a thousand people in one body.)

No, we are not.

(They actually seem to droop a bit at this child's compliment.)

[shslliar]

[That's creepy. They would probably not do very well in a human body.]

Huh? You're not a robot? Then what are you?

[Kokichi, quit playing dumb.]

[forwearemany]

(A short, awkward burst of chatter.)

This platform is entirely robotic.

[shslliar]

Whaaaaa? But you just said you weren't a robot!

[forwearemany]

You misunderstand. We were not contradicting your description of us as a robot.

We are not 'the best'.

[shslliar]

Ooooh....

[Pessimist bot.]

So what is the best robot?

[forwearemany]

Uncertain.

It is not us.

(More like idealist who had all their hopes crushed bot.)

[shslliar]

Poor robot...

[Kokichi has zero details on this. What do.]

Don't worry, there's still room for improvement. And upgrades.

[forwearemany]

This unit's designation is Legion.

(They decide not to respond to the bit about upgrades. This child is correct, but self improvement serves no purpose.)

[shslliar]

Oh, right. Poor Legion.

[No response, huh? Not as fun as a robot that gets frustrated or threatens to sue.]

[forwearemany]

(Legion isn't really entertaining in that way. Piss them off enough and they'll just leave. Or give boring one word answers to everything you say.)

Acknowledged.

Do you have any additional requests?

(Might as well ask. Not much else for them to do.)
