Robots can't have strokes, right?

But if you THOUGHT a robot might have had a stroke, would it be appropriate to nag them to see
a robot doctor right away? Or is it fine to let them get repairs on their own schedule?

I kinda don't know how computers work at all...

Probably not, if this shit is that obvious.

You talking about the guys who run the temple?

[daikonrose]

Yes--Rawna's temple. I don't know if it's happening to anybody else, I just happened to notice it when I was there this morning.

[opheliaafterdeath]

[And they're guessing that's unusual.]

Might be worth seeing if it's happening to more of the guys in the city. It'd be fucking weird if it was happening everywhere.

[daikonrose]

Right? What if it's something that can spread? I haven't noticed anyone else acting strange since I left, but I guess it's kinda hard to tell if you're not listening in closely. But I have a meeting with my director soon, so I'll keep an eye on him.

[opheliaafterdeath]

I'll check around the city too. See if anything else is going on.

[Maybe it's just their paranoia and this really is just a case of an occasional fritz. But better safe then sorry.]

Thanks for letting us know, by the way. Don't go around the temples much so I didn't notice.

[daikonrose]

I brought it up because it was bothering me, that's all. I guess I just wanted to feel less silly about going back there to be a nag.

[opheliaafterdeath]

Better to say something now then say nothing and have this world go to shit or something. I don't like the whole touch thing but I don't want it to get worse then that.

[daikonrose]

That's true... I mean, hopefully it turns out to be nothing serious, but I guess we shouldn't rule out any worst-case scenarios either.

[opheliaafterdeath]

Fingers crossed. I'd rather this not turn into a shitshow for someone I know. He needs a chance to relax.

If you see anything else that's weird, let me know? I work as a detective so I probably can dig some shit up.

[daikonrose]

I'll probably edit this post if I notice more strange things happening with the native folks anytime soon. I don't know if I'd pick up on the kind of things that would be important to a detective, though.

[opheliaafterdeath]

You'd be surprised. My boss figured out a locked room mystery once because of a stain on a window still. It's generally the weirdest shit that helps the most.

[daikonrose]

I don't know, I think I can kinda see how a window sill stain might unravel a mystery. Stains in general are pretty suspicious, right? Since they're never supposed to be there.

[opheliaafterdeath]

Naw, in that case it was suspicious because the victim couldn't eat. Kinda weird that the stain turned out to be sauce that got into a room that was both physically and magically locked.

Always the weirdest shit even if it's just mundane, basically.

[daikonrose]

That's so convoluted... As expected from a real detective!

Even I would have to flag food stains around the robots as suspicious though, so go ahead and count on me to report the super obvious things!

[opheliaafterdeath]

Magic has made people's lives boring, so even murder has to get spiced up like that. It's dumb as shit.

But thanks. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing in the end and I'm just paranoid.

[daikonrose]

What a waste... Bored murderers get magic while there are ordinary non-murderers like me who wouldn't take it for granted!

And yes, I'll cross my fingers for paranoia for the both of us this time.
