So late to the regain bandwagon

[have_your_lives]

[I'm sorry, Mayfield - did you think you had enough problems as things stood? Did you think the town had made you suffer every possible cruelty already?

Well, not yet! Because today you may go blind.

What this means is that Schuldig got a clothing box with the mail today, which contained his absolutely ridiculous canon outfit. This assault on anything resembling fashion coordination will be strolling down the streets of Mayfield, looking exceedingly pleased with himself and not at all as embarrassed as he ought to be.

He will be visiting several places today:

A) 1248 Williams Road. He has a gun to pick up from Crawford.

B) 310 Miller Street. He's on a completely foreign errand here; he's actually got an apology to make. Farfarello, you may want to mark this day on a calendar.

C) 747 Partridge Drive. Don't worry, Ken, he's there to talk to Nagi~

D) Any house that has one of the people on his list. He's being industrious today! It must be the clothes.

Anyone can run into him while he's walking around town, of course~ The particularly fashion-conscious may want to shoot to kill.]

[OOC: If your name popped up in this post, or you had an argument for why Schuldig might seek you out on his own, please post here! ♥ Trying to tag everyone on the list in separate posts would be way too much of an undertaking, so I'm trying to gather them all here under one post.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Also, if you're going to reply to this, please make sure you've posted to Schuldig's permission post!]

[Schuldig cocks an eyebrow, but doesn't comment.] It's more a question of what my boss wants. He's taken an interest in you.

Of course, he hasn't specified why, so why don't we figure that one out together?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Has he now. How nice for him.

Perhaps you should go ask him yourself.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I could, but I expect figuring that out for myself is part of the job.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

You have a strange job.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I've reflected on that more than once. But for now, I'd like to actually get it done. And that means figuring out what's so interesting about you.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Well then. How are you going to do that?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I guess what there might be about you that'd provoke my boss' interest, and you can tell me if I'm warm.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[A game. She does like those.]

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Do you have any unusual powers?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

What type of powers? Magic?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Any kind humans don't normally have access to that could conceivably be useful.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[Thinking.]

No, I don't think so.

I wasn't built with "powers".

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

[That gets an eyebrow raised.] 'Built'?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was an AI before I came here.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Now that is intriguing. Maybe enough so to justify my boss' interest in you.

...though I'm not sure what an AI turned human can do that's helpful.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs and goes back to her mechanical work]

Perhaps that's because you're not very smart.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's because you haven't told me yet.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

But you said you wanted to figure it out for yourself.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Ah, ah. I said my boss probably wants me to figure it out for myself. I never said I particularly wanted extra work.

Besides, you can't chide someone for not having information if you're the one withholding it, can you?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[Pouts]

Oh fine. What is it you want to know exactly?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Well, what can an AI turned human do?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Oh many things. I'm quite good at building machines. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge. I'm logical to a tee. I know computers better then you could ever hope to. I'm skilled in many different fields of sciences. I'm willing to do anything to follow my plans through. I've studied humans for years and I can bake cake.

[Hand out]

Pass me the wrench would you?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Given that machines are outdated here and computers almost nonexistent, that does make several of your skills not worth much. [He idly hands the wrench to her.] What fields of science are these, anyway?

[Ironically, since Schuldig traded a cake for a gun some weeks ago, the cake-baking sounds like the most immediately useful skill on GLaDOS' list.]

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

I build my own. Besides, outdated machines still have usable parts. You just don't have an imagination. Which is rather funny if you think about it.

[Takes the wrench] Many. Physics, Psychology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering...I could go on if you'd like.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Hmph. You'd like my boss, I think. [You both have an irritating way of acting superior to him. :| ]

Sounds like you're broadly useful, but I don't know what Oracle wants with you specifically. Which means you get to go talk to him yourself - lucky you.
