🔆I Understand Completely... All I Want To Do Is See Them Again.. Knowing That They're In A Little..

(@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-Caught (RP thread)

*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?”

🔆Ah, why hello~! I came here just to really... Only say hi! It's so good to finally meet you! I need help on something.... My anger issues. I uh.... Have pretty bad outbursts sometimes... I'm sure you saw when Ritual stabbed me. It was, well... Not pretty. I threatened a CHILD! I just- Need something to nullify my anger... And I thought you could help! Especially since we need to work in the daycare place...🔆

Trick taps her claws together a few times, as if in deep thought.

"That part really depends, your entire trait being hope makes your state of mind really fragile... a good part of controlling that is just actual practice. You know, when I was a younger anon I used to throw people over the table if they bluffed me in a game of poker."

The anon chuckles as she searches through her robe for something and eventually retrieves another card, this one with quite the number of engravings on it.

"This is a Trap!Card, it's loaded with a fatigue effect that'll go off if you do go hopeless. I know making you pass out whenever you'd normally get angry isn't the best solution but I can't exactly take your hopeless state away from you... without also taking away your hope trait."

"This one has five uses, should last you awhile, but you'd have to make a deal for it. Nothing predatory, I promise, but I can't exactly give these away for free, you understand? Localized asker spells are are really hard to make into something this stable."

How much do you know oh wise anon?

"Pfft, I wouldn't say I'm wise, just experienced." Trick sighed, "but I do know a whole lot, mostly about random things nobody cares about."

Though she won't say it, she's flattered.

I see, hopefully we'll all be able to help provide you more assistance soon

Good to know! Speaking of assistance, we may have a situation on our hands that requires your input.

[Query: Do we have hands?]

[Answer: Negative]

<Approximate emotion: Sadness>

Heya, How are you there? Appri is doing Appri things again.

Trick looks fairly disturbed at something when you appear but quickly snaps into her usual upbeat tendancies as soon as she noticed you.

"Oh! I'm doing fine, and... yeah, if by 'Appri things' you mean trying to interrogate me."

What's going on-? Mmhh...

<Candidate Uplink Received>

Name: Atum

Shade: Yellow

[Query: Are apples yellow?]

Entity Class: Anon Subspecies

<As an anon, processing you should be fairly simple, candidate confirmed>

<Welcome, User: Atum >

Answer: We have attempted over one thousand recovery attempts with no success, it has become clear these attempts will bring us nowhere, therefore we have attempted to pend a request for assistance, and here you are!

Well, I have eyes in my wings and plus my two closed eyes of course, just be careful with the wings tho. *open arms* hugs?

“Hugs.” The anon agrees, and hugs you. Trick’s almost impossibly soft, it almost made one wonder what she had knit her robes out of. On top of that she still has that slightly purple coat of fur too, so that helps.

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.”
