voice; [REVERSE INTRO!]
[upon her arrival, Painwheel definitely had a little bit of an episode. she tore up that welcome basket and flipped her every shit available to be up-ended, and finally inspected the network a little once she calmed down and all the fear and irrational anger subsided—once she realized she's actually in control and she doesn't have to be such a fucking spaz.

it occurs to her, however, that she hasn't properly socialized in a very long time. she's probably bad at carrying on conversation. she also doesn't want to talk about herself. she doesn't want people to see her face. but she wants to know about the other criminals here. she wants to know people like she used to know people. they can't all be bad, right? ...RIGHT??

and so, she's been inspired to make this post!]

...Hello— [her voice is deep and worn, gravelly in its quality, like her vocal chords have been blown out a little.] My...name is Painwheel.

[she takes an unsteady breath in, and manages to push herself forward, a little.]

There's a lot of people here—people who've committed crimes... So I guess that's our common ground, as people... But that can't be it, right?

So...what do all of you enjoy? Who are you? I'd... like to know, I think.

	...For now. There's things I want to accomplish back home, and ...I want to see my family. I miss my parents. But this is better than what my circumstances were like just before I was taken. It's hard to describe what that was like... I don't want to talk about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's a long pause before it answers ] Acknowledged. Your next question is not applicable to us. We are incapable of feeling the emotional response that you described. This units designation is Legion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When I was repurposed to be a weapon, I was renamed Painwheel—because of the thing they graphed to my back, which was... modeled after a pinwheel, I guess. Less of a metaphor and more of a stupid pun, I guess. [painwheel haet puns] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you believe your designation is 'stupid', why do you continue to use it? [ it's a genuine question ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because I can't go back to my old name. I don't know if you'd understand... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's an audible chatter over the network before it replies ] Experience is not necessary for comprehension. An example: we do not experience emotions, but we understand their effects on organics. We wish to attempt to understand your perspective on this matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[DEEP BREATH; she's getting irritated. she doesn't owe such personal information to this guy! but he also doesn't mean any harm... she keeps it pithy.] Everything... that made me Carol was taken from me. Until I get those things back, I can't accept that name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Understood. [ on the basic level, at least ] Individuality, identity, these are all important facets of most organic lifeform's outlook. We wish for success on your eventual retrieval of your previous identity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
