CURRENT POPULATION: 40
It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

Okay. Um... you're not human, right? You're a robot. But... you sound a lot like a human.

[ That does surprise him and he definitely looks it. ]
Well, that's a rarity if I ever heard one. You're most likely wrong though.

That's what I mean. To me, you don't seem so bad. You don't want us to suffer. You're just ... doing what you have to, right? Do you even have a choice?
no subject
You are going to suffer though. That's part of the game. Gotta encourage you to suffer. Since that's just, you know, what I gotta do. I suppose there ain't much of a choice there but I never really thought about having one. It just is what it is.
[ Wait, he just said that didn't he? He frowns, disliking repeating himself like that. ]
no subject
... you have to encourage us to kill each other. So ... I guess suffering is part of that, right? [ A pause. ] ... if you didn't have to do it, would you? ... are there ... things that you do like to do? Do you have hobbies, or books you like to read?
[ She's picked up steam as she's gone, and by the end her curiosity has returned. ]

[ He's about to say it again and sighs wearily instead. ]
It just is, alright?

Well, I don't think that's so bad. I'm Xion. It's nice to meet you.
