Heya, How Are You There? Appri Is Doing Appri Things Again.

... 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.

I HAVE COME BACK FROM THE DEPTHS TO GIVE YOU YOUR WIN! YOU HAVE WON THE RAYGUN MK II, WITH IT'S AMAZING 3 SHOT ROUND COMPRISED OF PLASMA, YOU'LL NEVER WANT A NEW WEAPON! 100 YEAR GARUNTEE! SATISFACTION GARUNTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Message and data rates may apply, please see our website for any further questions.

She jumps three feet again, this time hitting her head on the shelf behind her and yelping in pain. Then she turns to glare at you from the door, her ears pinned back. “GOOD LORD CAN’T YOU PEOPLE KNOCK-” Trick takes a moment to look at the raygun, both intrigued and annoyed by the fact she has absolutely no idea how that thing works. “If you can’t tell I have another guest at the moment... Hah... alright, sorry, fine. Thank you for the weapon, it actually sounds somewhat useful- Wait what do you mean data rates? I don’t even know where your website is!”

<This was all the systems themselves got out before something crippled them. We do not know what the "Illicit items" are, unfortunately.>

Oh, thank you! *I take the the creamy coffee with the glitter and take a sip of it*

Trick simply nods and gives a smile in response, then turns back to her deal.

(@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 ) 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 ) 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.

Answer: As previously stated, our facility, which was previously maintained by Trick Anon, has fallen into critical status. We are seeking your assistance in retrieving her and managing what has occurred in her absence.
