🔆Awh~!!! You Like Me~!! That's So Sweet~! But I'd Also Like To... Learn A Certain Magic. The Ability

Well, if you think this would qualify me then you had to see me when I needed to deal with a shape and a mer that were trying to kill each other and start a war, that was chaotic, Appri's world is chaotic.

The screen snapped back into a playing card, and with another slight of hand trick, the anon made it appear as if it had just disappeared. Where exactly was it keeping those cards? Maybe up it’s sleeves? That’d be ironic. “Exactly! And we’re dealing with Appri’s younger anons, they’d likely be constantly chaotic. You’ve shown you can deal passively with a chaotic situation, so... why not? Once again Appri’d be the one to finalize things but... I think the opinion’ll be the same in that regard.”

Oh? You need help? With what? *Atum makes beeping noises*

Answer: As previously stated, we were not supposed to deal with something like this, but with your help, we may be able to give you tools to fix things. Mayhaps.

We need to fix the cores and stop the dimension stabilizer from glitching. Then, hopefully, we'll be able to manually pull Trick out of the ROOM.

Logs?

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

(@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-Caught (RP thread)

(@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-Caught (RP thread)

Very sorry for interrupting, I hope your noggin’s gonna do better! But hey, self defense is the best defense. I’ll give ya my website later, but have fun with your guest and new toy!

———————— “Huh. This looks awfully like something from… falldown? I dunno I haven’t been to that verse in ages. As long as this thing doesn’t have hidden fees or something, thank you Def! Just…” She held her face in her paws for a moment. “Actually knock, or just don’t scream your first words when you pop into existence, please…”

*GASPS* I SPOT ANOTHER BABEY 👀👀

“B-babey?” She laughs, a bit confused, but waves at you nonetheless. “I... I mean thank you? You sure you’re not asking the wrong anon?”

<Note: Candidates is plural. This is not a first come first served situation>

<Readings say servers will support multiple users without crashing>

<Attempting proverb...>

"The more, the merrier."

<Our understanding of proverbs is still null, but supposedly others can comprehend what we cannot>

(@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.

Appri-Caught (RP thread)

(@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.
