Aubrey:Mmnhm.|(clear your throat)=2^Tell me about yourself=10^_d1polling_So, about our task here...=20^Goodbye=999
Aubrey:Hmm? Oh! Sorry. Didn't see you there.##You're $PLAYERNAME, right?
You:Yeah, that's me. What's your name?
Aubrey:Yes, Aubrey, yeah. Uhm, sorry. I mean, my name is Aubrey.##She/her or they/their. And I'm alright, thanks, just a little distracted. Hope you're doing good?
You:I'm fine, thanks.|Continue=1




You:Hey, just going around, introducing myself to everyone. Can you tell me a little about yourself, Aubrey?
Aubrey:Oh, sure. Name's Aubrey, and I mostly go by she/her or they/their these days. Was there something specific you wanted to know?|Just making conversation=12
You:No, just asking. Trying to get a feel for everyone here.
Aubrey:Ah, cool. Sorry... I'm not usually this awkward. I'm a sculptor, you see, so I spend a lot of time alone. I think I sometimes forget how to talk to people. >Marble~ doesn't have great conversational skills, you know?
You:Haha! Yeah, I imagine so.##Pleased to meet you, Aubrey.
Aubrey:Oh, same to you. You seem nice.|Continue=1




Aubrey:What about it?|_!NOT!d1aubrey_What do you think we're actually supposed to be doing here?=21^_!NOT!d1aubrey_What do you think about this place?=21^That's all, thanks=1
You:So... what do you think we're doing here? The ad was rather vague...
Aubrey:Was it? I have to admit I... sort of... never actually saw it.##My >friends~ signed me up for this. Said I needed to get out more. Can't really argue with that, I suppose.
Aubrey:The robots gave me a standard >consent form~, but it didn't really say anything about any specific tasks. Did yours?
You:No, it didn't. That's why I'm asking. Any educated guesses?
Aubrey:Not really, no. But there has to be a reason why they picked us, specifically, right? Everyone wants to do >cool mystery assignments~ for the Council, so I can't imagine we were just the only three applicants.
You:Hmm. You think we can figure it out by looking at our respective skillsets?
Aubrey:Makes sense, right? I'm really not sure why they'd need an artist, specifically, so it has to be something really specific they want from me.
Aubrey:I know a few things about plants and rocks, so maybe it's an environmental... something-or-other.##Though I also think they'll probably just tell us when we need to go do something.
You:Hmm. Perhaps! We'll see.|Continue=1
