today on istone: this island sucks

[tomodachi]

Is it just me, or is this new island really creepy? I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but all the robots lying around not doing anything is pretty uncool.

[... Though, that might be because Crow himself is a robot too, so visiting this damn island and seeing a bunch of dead robots is making him super uncomfortable...]

Does anyone have any idea what happened to them yet?

Comments

[tomodachi]

Oh... I didn't know that.

[... No one tell Seto about this or else he's going to feel bad about having buried Crow when he had died back home...]

Acknowledged. Your exposure to fellow synthetics is limited.

(It's not like burying just one robot is so bad, but it's not something you want to do as a regular practice.)

[tomodachi]

Well yeah, I mean... most of the others I've seen have either fallen apart, or are off doing their own thing, like the weird bird head guy I used to see around a few times.

[or, are roaming around in the sewers attacking anything that moves, but no one tell crow that either]

[forwearemany]

...Bird head guy?

(Clearly that's what's important.)

[tomodachi]

Yeah, it's... I think they're called chickens? Or whatever it is that guy's head is supposed to look like.

[There's a pause, and then Crow, rather than speaking to the istone, adds a crude drawing of this chicken man he speaks of.]

(Awkward mechanical chatter.)

We are unaware of a possible purpose for this design.

[tomodachi]

Yeah, I never really asked why he has a weird head like that either. Guess I can't now anyway unless he shows up here someday too.

Acknowledged.
