WEEK 3

[As Marie said: so much for trust and resolve. Two people are dead, and there is very little anyone can do about it now, no matter how much they would have wanted to sacrifice themselves.

In particular, with Marie's words during the trial, it's clear that time is limited. Or is it? Marie is also capable of omitting the truth when it serves her needs, especially when it comes towards the Strangers and their still-missing memories. In any case, one can only hope they don't fall for her tricks again, even though getting away with murder would - apparently - save at least one life.

There is something else, as well. When everyone wakes up the morning, they will find that information on their wristwatches has been updated to reflect their new number - and something new about their powers. Not only that, but a new floor has opened up above Floor 1 for everyone to explore. Maybe more can be found on just what, exactly, is going on.

Is Marie telling the truth? Is the universe really ending? Or is it just another means of getting what she wants? Whatever is happening, people will need to be more careful around her - and one another. Who knows what Marie will offer next - or what your roommate or new friend is now capable of as a result. Especially since it's now known, thanks to Marie's actions during the trial, that everyone has definitely lost some memories. And unfortunately, no one seems to have regained any of them so far - or if anyone has, they haven't said a word.

If trust and resolve was ever needed, it feels like now is the time to try and find all that.

There are thirteen people in this place.]

It's got to be someone who can take a lot of damage. ... Hm.

[There's also the fact that she's always listening in...]

[theserpentsmiles]

Or someone who's skilled at dodging... She's not as untouchable as she thinks she is.

[Or maybe she's trying to convince herself she is? Hm.]

[crouching_sin]

... Unfortunately I'm without many of my abilities here. Unless I get my COMP back...

[theserpentsmiles]

COMP? [...] I'm actually more powerful here than I was before...

[crouching_sin]

It's... a gaming device in my world. Communication Player is the full name. But I have a program on it that enhances my abilities.

[theserpentsmiles]

[He's....not sure how that works.] You can write programs that can do that? ...You're not an AI, are you?

[crouching_sin]

What? Oh, no, no. Nothing like that. I simply found a way to adjust a human's vibrational wavelength to match that of a demon's. It doesn't give them an instant win button, but it gives them a better chance at fighting them.

[theserpentsmiles]

A demon... [He's got nothin' there.] One of my classmates is an AI, we haven't found a system she can't hack.

I don't know about demons, but nothing has stopped me yet.

[crouching_sin]

Heh. I'm one the most if not the most advanced programmers in my world. I can make a computer do almost anything, including predict what people are going to do. To a degree, of course.

[theserpentsmiles]

Ritsu-chan is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person now. [He's so proud of her.] Learning and predicting sentient behavior was originally her only purpose, but she's come a long way from that.

[crouching_sin]

I see. Well, that's extremely interesting. I know there are AI that are getting close, but they're nowhere near that indistinguishable at this point in my world.

[theserpentsmiles]

I don't think the government planned for her to become like this this quickly....I don't think they know, either.

There's a lot they don't know about my class.
