| - F: Who'd have thought, when I was a child, that I would have become a guard? I was destined for so much more...before the accident. >>An accident? Were you injured? F: Suffice to say, I have not been on stage since it happened. My life in the spotlight ended that day. >>That's terrible! What happened? F: No. I do not talk about the specifics of that incident. It is far too painful to recall. >>Oh, come on. I have to know! F: I told you I'm not talking about it. Only an unemotional robot could talk about something so painful. (go to Anniedroid) A: Loading...Please wait... Ah, there you are. What may I do for you, (name)? Hey Annie. I was just talking to Fernando about his accident but he won't tell me what happened. Do you have any idea? A: This information is contained in my data-bank. Shall I access filename fernando_accident? Yes, please. A: One moment... Accessing... A: ...Accessing... A: ...Mounting Data... A: ...Executing Unrelated Functions... A: ...Beginning System Erasure, Cancel or Allow? >>Cancel. A: ...Cancelling System Erasure... Could this take any longer? A: ...Taking Longer... GAH! Display already! A: ...Displaying File... fernando_accident.. A: Fernando (A.K.A. Fabulously Flying Fernando), performed with zipper down. Refers to incident as 'the accident.' Last recorded instance of fernando_dance. End of file. Were you waiting for me to say 'display' the whole time? A: Affirmative. Uhg. Your interface is worse than DOS. A: Error... Unknown Command... Exiting. What?! I wasn't even trying to give a command! Oh, nevermind. I need to go find Fernando some zipper-less pants, anyway. (afterwards) F: Please don't ask me about my accident. Accident? You mean when you forget to pull your zipper up? F: What?! Who told you?! >>Anniedroid. F: I knew it! That little robot-wannabe is always gossiping about me! Oooh, I'm so mad I could pull her plug! >>Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. I'll even track down a pair of zipper-less pants for you to prove it. F: Good luck with that. I've been looking all over! Surely one of the shops in Barton Town will have something.
