...Well, That Response Was Quite The Left Turn, Are You Okay?!

<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>

Hope obliges with a whisper, and Trick nods in response, passing you the card.

"Interesting... here, I'd say that's more than worth this one! don't worry I'll be a lot more tight lipped with the last bit. Actually..."

She snaps her fingers again and the face of the card glows for a moment.

"The card has seven uses now, for being a good sport, n' also cause I like you."

"Oh! right, almost forgot, is there anything else you'd be interested in?"

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."

Oh wow you survived

"Survived... what exactly?" She asked, it's been a crazy couple of months, the anon's not quite sure which calamity you're referring to.

My name...you can call me Eluy!

<User: -Placeholder-'s name has been changed to Eluy >

Understood, remember the command prompt we mentioned earlier? It unfortunately contains a dreaded

"click to verify you are not a robot"

Security measure, most devious. We have yet to crack such a secure lock such as clicking a textbox with random patterns.

Synthesizing hands has been considered unviable, but you all have hands, correct? You could be capable of bypassing such a difficult security measure.

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>

Do you happen to know of the Mystery Box, a box that is a literal lottery of weapons-?

"No, and everything about that sounds like a bad idea, especially when you all are the ones suggesting it."

"Nope! Not interested or curious whatsoever."

A long pause, and then, to nobody's suprise, her curiosity gets the best of her.

"Okay maybe just one try-"

Yes! I like hugs and I wanted to visit you since I've heard about you in Appri's blog!

“Ah, not surprised, they’ve been trying to organize someone to take care of the younger anons and apparently i’m one of the candidates. I’d help out whenever I could but…” She looks back at the multitude of screens on the wall, all brimming with different displays and pieces of data. Most of this looked like it was monitoring other universes. “My paws are a bit full, I wouldn’t be able to be the main caretaker, y’know? You though… so far you seem to be good with that sort of stuff.”

<As you can see, it's a bit of a... complete mess down here>

🔆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."
