Chapter 3 by Frisky_java Frisky_java

Where to begin?

You received Carrie by chance.

Shutting the door to your apartment you turned to look at the young woman - no, android, you had to remind yourself - laying on your couch seemingly asleep.

You recalled the the last fifteen minutes, trying to explain to two Moogle techs who showed up at your door with a crate that you never ordered anything nor did you remember signing up for any chance to win their latest and greatest android assistant.

During that time, the two overly chipper technicians expressed their apologies but lamented that moogle had a no return policy. They did however assure you that you were actually quite lucky to have recieved a C.A.R.R.I.E. for free, all while they happily wheeled in a person sized crate and removed what appeared to be a young woman from it, giving you quite a panic.

"Now Mr. McKenzie I can assure you that after you get used to having it around, you'll realize just how lucky you are to have received Carrie here, and at no cost to you. Remember, once you wake it up you can just ask it anything you need to know about how it operates and what you need to do for its maintenance. Seriously, it's like talking to a real person. It really is a feat of modern science, so much so that you'd think it's magic."

With a sigh, you look at the android-person thing laying on your couch and consider her - its - appearance more carefully. You can see she's designed to look like a young woman, probably around 20 to 25 years old. She has a slender average build, light skin (if you can call it that) and appears to be about 5'6" or so in height. Her hair is brunette, medium length and kept in a ponytail.

She wears a simple blue shirt with a small Moogle logo across the chest, and a simple pair of black form fitting pants you'd expect a waitress to wear are a restaurant. She doesn't have any shoes or socks on, and you note she appears to have blue nail polish on. In short, she looks like a generic, ethnicity ambiguous white woman which you figure was probably the point considering her appearance is supposed to be fully customizable.

You're starting to feel a bit weird just staring at her while she sleeps. Even though you know she's not actually asleep and she's also not really a person, her realistic appearance certainly gives you an uneasy sense of voyeurism which is enough to make you want to wake her up and at least figure out what to do with her.

Approaching the couch you're uncertain what to do, so you simply nudge her on the shoulder and say "Hey Carrie, wake up."

What does she say?
