At the edge of the marketplace, a rare Cranioid with a typewriter head sat at a small table. Its keys clacked as it "spoke," typing out words on a strip of paper that fed out from its forehead. A crowd had gathered around it, their heads tilting as they tried to decipher the text.
The typewriter-headed Cranioid was reciting a poem, its keys tapping out lines about the stars and the endless search for meaning. A lamp-headed Cranioid leaned in, its bulb flickering in time with the rhythm of the words. A book-headed Cranioid flipped its pages rapidly, as if searching for a response. Finally, it stopped on a page and held it up, displaying a passage about hope and perseverance.
The typewriter Cranioid paused, then typed out a single word: "Hello." The crowd erupted in a chorus of clicks, clangs, and flickers, their disparate sounds blending into a moment of shared understanding.
