(@appri-dot ) Yep! It's like a normal monitor, with a power button and everything! In fact even all the servers here have power buttons, as said, they're just... off at the moment.
Your endoskeleton pal is obviously still being useful as it just continues to not move, very helpful.
(@appri-dot ) You poke the endoskeleton! It... collapses across the ground with a loud clatter like a suit of armour. I’m not entirely sure what you were expecting since nothing was holding it up and it’s just a bit of metal. I’m pretty sure if it was alive it would’ve stopped itself from hitting the floor, so at least you learned one thing from that.
And also yeah the shelf in front of the door is loaded with servers, so you’re probably not propping that back upright, looks like it’s been pushed over in front. If you want to drag the hunk of metal through the vents again I won’t stop you, but it does actually seem to just be a bit of metal.
You get the most peculiar sensation, like you’re missing something important.
The one live server’s activity light is flickering wildly now, which is kinda distracting, but it won’t dissuade you from doing anything. Are you sure you want to leave this area?
(@appri-dot ) I mean… okay? I guess you can try making a pose with the exoskeleton, and you do! It's quite flexible actually, well oiled, and slightly warm to the touch, which is weird because most of the stuff around here is dusty and old.
Upon further inspection, despite being a “server room”, most of the servers here are off, all of them actually, except one. Also the huge screen isn’t broken, it’s just not on either.
Also, even weirder, there’s a couple of mattresses that look like they once belonged to hospital beds before someone tucked them away in a corner of this room. There’s all sorts of stuff on the floor, like someone had been staying here for awhile, but they clearly were not here now. Also one of the server racks looks like it’s been knocked over to block where you assumed the door was, so I don’t think you’re getting out that way easily.
You’re free to interact with this place how you wish!
(@appri-dot ) These vents are weirdly large, enough for you to move comfortably. The trail of disturbed dust continues for a pretty long distance. Its like a maze in here, if you weren't following Raspberry it'd probably be real easy to get lost.
From the glimpses you can catch from a bunch of the vent grates you pass, the metal hallways and rooms are really, really extensive, this place must be massive! There's tech and beds and all sorts of weird things that you can see briefly, but eventually, you reach another vent whose cover has been popped off.
Inside this room is a really large monitor lit up blue, and a complex computer setup, clearly highly sophisticated if you're judging by the number of wires hooked into it.
With a hand on it's keyboard, there's a metallic shell, kinda like an endoskeleton that's just… frozen in that position like it had been powered off.
The trail ends here, so where was Raspberry?

(@appri-dot ) Being a super cool demon cyborg thing, it's pretty easy to notice that pretty much everything here is covered in a bunch of dust and debris. Which also means that wherever they stepped, that dust is gone, and you have a little trail you can follow!
One problem though, the trail goes… like up atop a shelving unit and into a vent on the wall. Why was raspberry using the vents? Are they an imposter? No wait this isn't among us- maybe it's just safer?
(@appri-dot ) Oh, unfortunately it looks like they've already gone elsewhere, but you do get your hand back!
Though it's possible you'd meet up with Raspberry again at some point, since they did look like they were somehow involved in you… showing up here.
Though you can't see where they've gone immidiately, you'd likely be able to follow their path if you wanted, or you could go back and investigate that weird rumbling sound, the choice is yours!
(@appri-dot ) Apparently it actually is possible to make the creature even more confused, because they definitely look that way as you run down the hall.
Glancing quickly from your detached hand, to you yourself, they process this just in time to yell, "Hey! Wait, you don't eve-" But the rest of the sentence was cut off as you turn the corner and move further into this unknown space.
-
The weird metallic design of grate and ceiling lights continues around the corner, stretching into yet another hallway. This one has doors at the sides that probably open into other rooms, but that's partially drowned out by the sound of another huge rumble from somewhere further down the hall.
The shaking is stronger this time, you're getting closer.
(@appri-dot) Strawberry is scandalized, they pout overdramatically, but can't help but grin at your trick. "That's cheating! You can't jus-"
The critter was cut off rather rudely by the entire hallway shaking, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound that caused them to quite nearly fall over, clutching your arm for support.
"T-that doesn't sound good-"
(@appri-dot ) You're just making them even more confused, but at least raspberry's not all spooked anymore. They just squint back at you.
And just…. keep squinting, determined.
I think they've challenged you to a staring contest or something like that?
Huh... let's go back and see the logs.
<Correct us if we were wrong but you had just opened the logs! Would you like to return there via a link?>
(@appri-dot ) The narrator points out that raspberries aren't usually blue... but why not!
Raspberry holds that defensive pose for awhile longer before they sloooowly open an eye and just squint at you. They're visibly confused now.
"Hello??? I... do you want something? Are you still there? What..." They ask, not seeming to understand why you were acting kinda aggressively a second earlier before going back to passive.
Warily, the small blue thing waves it's hand in the air, as if trying to see if your eyes'll track it. "Can you... speak?"
According to what you can feel, yes, you actually can! This body has a voice and everything if you choose to use it.
(@appri-dot ) It’s kinda hard to tell, the blue one immediately tries to block it’s face with their hands like they were expecting your tail to shoot something. Oh look, they have paw beans!
“P-put that down! I-I didn’t even do anything!” The creature stammers, reasonably terrified since you’re partially a war machine.
This small blue thing might be your best way to figure out what was going on, but you could also just look around or maybe even run off somewhere, it doesn’t look like anything’s stopping you right now, so you’re free to go about how you please!
(@appri-dot) You actually do have hands! And horns, and that cool tail with all those settings... this is literally a copy of Appri's body, or at least it seems that way. Cool! Looks like your host is very capable.
"Mnh... thank you kind stran-NYEH?!?" The blue figure says as you help them up, jumping backwards in fear and just staring at you.
"Y-you're alive!?" It's hard to tell if this thing's good or bad, but it looks pretty harmless either way, I think it's more afraid of you than you are of it.
It's making karate poses at you to look more intimidating.
It's.... not working.
As you immidiately book it, it takes a few seconds before you run directly into something and fall over.
I mean, at least you can see what's around you right now. It's some weird sorta metallic looking hallway with lights on the ceiling... Oh! And some blue looking figure that's currently sprawled out on the ground where you just ran full force into them and knocked them over.
"Ow..." The figure murmurs into the metal floor, still dizzy.
@appri-dot
Please excuse the terrible pun-
I'm not giving you any reference to start, congratulations, you are now in control of 1 (stolen) Appri body! With absolutely no idea what's going on so far, what do you do first?

Roses are red, Gardens may wow, Tumblr broke and I'm livid right now.
Greetings!
It's likely that most of you've entirely forgotten I existed at this point, and to be fair that's for good reason. But fear not, as this was only about 50% on account of the fact that the mun is in fact denser than a brick wall.
The other half was because Tumblr decided to entirely stop sending me notifications upon asks, leading me to believe you all were asking nothing at all!
Thank you to Fox Anon, whose follow was enough to get the idiot mun to check their inbox for once and realize it was in fact not empty-
The mun will take some time to get their bearings again and cause things to start moving once more, but they assure you that they are not dead yet!

Or at least it would've been if we still had any [expletive deleted] subjects. I guess you could just call us a bloody collection service since all we've been doing is chasing our assets since they broke out.
God, what a mess.

... I thought she was like sixteen...
Incorrect, she is much older. However her species matures significantly slower than most.
To provide a basis for comparison, we shall divide by the average maturity rate of an anon
<Calculating...>
Within your lifespan she would be considered about 12. Of course this is merely comparison, hence the more logical behavior and advanced linguistic choices despite her semi childlike mentality.
Of course she also was forced to take on a more adult role due to the events in her childhood but that is an entirely different set of information.
Nebbie..? Sounds a little like "nubby"!
Agreed, it is amusing is it not?
[At least we believe this feeling to be amusement?]
Though such a name was technically based on "nebula" at first. We... get the impression that you believe Trick to be much older than she actually is, youth from her culture often have endearing names until they mature.
By reading through various logs, we have discovered she finds this quite [embarrassing].
Ooooooo!!! Hehehe >:)
Hypothesis: The alias "Trick" was chosen due to sounding more formal and causing her to sound more daunting due to her occupation.
After all, "Nebbie" doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of enemies, now does it?
