(@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!
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."
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?"
*Slowly get out of hiding place* I am here to say hello.
“Hm? Who said that oH STARLIGHT WHAT THE-”
She jumps about three feet in the air, and nearly knocks over an entire flatscreen display on the wall behind her in the process. Seems your asterisk‘s lack of description means your hiding spot was under the couch she was sitting on.
“Bloody hell, you nearly gave me a heart attack... yes, hello. You... actually, haven’t I seen you before? You were running around the boat in Appri’s sector awhile back, right?”
Because of the Unus Annon stuff going on, you are now Amy. Hope is Ethan, Ritual is Mark. Fox is Sean. You're also amazing.
Trick nods and just laughs. “So I can send Ritual and Hope into a panic attack whenever they were supposed to clean stuff up but didn’t? You’re giving me too much power! Oh, and thank you! I’d hug you but… actually y’know what, why not.” And she hugs the featureless anon sent in your place instead, without a name, that’s the best the anon can do.
Go back to the start, let's see the occupants.

(@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 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.
Thank you! *A spiral of water surrounds my body. It then splashes down, leaving no sign of me, or it ever being there. The ground is completely dry.*
Trick doesn’t react much to that, she’s seen... significantly weirder. “Strange, a hydro attuned anon species... these Appri clustered anons are strangely unique. Not that i’m complaining.”

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.
A mischievous anon that tends to poke into places it probably shouldn't. Creator / bestower of Trick!Cards, and fully interactable!
