Week 8

[airlockedmods]

[This weekend has brought about some unusual questions about your resident robotic Overseer, but unfortunately, you've also lost two more of your own to an accidental death.

You've done your best with the star charts, but if anyone is coming to help you, there is no sign of it yet. SIS remains the only friendly face here, even as you've found that she holds her own secrets. Meanwhile, yet another new floor has opened up - the elevators are in perfect working order now, if any of you care to go and see it. That's four concourses now; one for each of your groups. There's an awful lot of dead, aren't there?]

Apologizing? Are you sure?

It sounds like Yurika is right. P.A.L. has been acting pretty strange, especially since the last trial.

wow why'd I say I instead of he whoops

[motherfucking_ghost]

Uhhhh, it's complicated? We thought Kip died, but actually, he was really being PAL all along. And he had a robot buddy named PAL? Who wasn't our overseer type PAL.

[tokencanadian]

... Shipping and... fanart Of you all? [Oh. Oh geeze.]

...I hadn't even considered that we might have fans.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah. Just over and over, all he was saying was 'I'm sorry'.

It's binary, it's, uh, computery language. I can understand it. SIS can, too, but she's a little less free to talk about...stuff. She'll wanna talk to us at some point. She's in that...hedgehog? Robot body.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Think of it this way: we're all from a bunch of different groups, right? Think of them like seasons of a show. That would make this...ffffour? Or something? Means it has ratings.

[everylittlesecret]

If your friend Tucker was around I might have committed murder from what you've told me about him.

[Stuffed friends will be set outside the showers once they are there. Like a guard. That's when Nari turns to Church, rather serious.]

You know binary, right?

[everylittlesecret]

My group was part of Airlocked, but like... it was more like the Bachelor but with murder for us.

[tokencanadian]

I... think so. If it was three seasons of us, and then the one that had Penny in it, I believe that would make what we're going through the fifth season?

[She shakes her head, weary.] Five whole seasons of people dying...

[motherfucking_ghost]

Now that Heart's not here, guess I'm the brainy computer around here.

...Which is kind of depressing.

What've you got for me?

[tokencanadian]

Hedgehog...? [she's thinking of a cute little ball friend. So boy is she in for a surprise.]

Uh, in any case, I'm glad you can understand him then. Whatever he really means by that, I think it could help us to... I'm not sure. Figure out why PAL is doing this, I suppose.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Aggressive reprogramming. Also, smarter reprogramming.

[tokencanadian]

And my group was in a prison, and we were all murderers.

It's almost like... a theme.

[daughterofthemark]

...we knew that, in our group--our "season." Sir Kip told us from the beginning.

That was what I was trying to remember all this time.

[cyan_maid]

We didn't know until we got out. Until we found all that stuff...

[cyan_maid]

I think, considering most of us were younger and our "hosts" were happily committed to each other, they didn't want to pull that sort of crap with us. No, it'd be much more interesting to see dead and crying teen girls, they must've said.

[cyan_maid]

I absolutely do not want to meet the...the crazy kinds of people who'd enjoy this sort of thing, even if it WAS fake...

[cyan_maid]

What for, to summon that old octopus god guy?

[daughterofthemark]

Does Dame SIS have some connection to Sir Shadow? Her new body looks just like him. They even have the same face.

[To your surprise, Arianna can evidently tell one hedgehog from another.]

[daughterofthemark]

--goodness, I hope we've not disappointed them.

[daughterofthemark]

...strange. Why would they have changed it?

[cyan_maid]

Well, Bolton and Jamie didn't know about it either...at least, I'm certain Bolton didn't. Jamie for sure didn't know, and was just as upset by it as we were.

[daughterofthemark]

...but what if you are the next one we lose? Or Dame Touko, or Jane, or Lord Noctis?

[ratherdoweddings]

Then he's just pretending to be your old Overseer. Or something made him think he was. Like when the government tried to overwrite our ship's AI twice.

[ratherdoweddings]

Shadow-kun got a robot copy of himself up the dumbwaiter in our old game. This must be the same one, and she's using it!

[ratherdoweddings]

Octopus god?
