The ten little stories your buddies play
Most of the time a buddy plays one activity at a time. A story is longer: several activities in a deliberate order, so a small scene plays out on the edge of your Dock. There are ten, and the right situation calls the right one.
What is a story?
A run of activities in a set order, with the sitting down and standing up filled in between them so the scene flows. If a character is missing a clip for one step, that step is skipped rather than the whole story breaking.
The ten
Work, Break, Tidy up, Study, Greet, Night, Garden, Fix-it, Play and Errand. Each buddy has all ten in their 3D build today, alongside their individual activities.
Which story plays when?
With awareness on, the situation picks: Work while an AI agent is working, Break and Garden when you have stepped away, Fix-it when the charger goes in, Break and Play when an agent is open but quiet, Night in the late evening, and Tidy up, Play, Garden, Errand, Study or Greet in an ordinary stretch of the day.
Do they play without awareness?
Yes. Stories are part of the buddies themselves, not the awareness feature: they already play on their own as your buddies go about the day, and you can start one yourself from the right-click menu. Awareness only decides which one suits the moment.
