YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

[strangerpeople]

HELTER SKELTER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

Well this is some awkward timing on the toplevels huh?

[stopfen]

[At some point Mikasa approaches the computer in the living room and she is, really just messing about. She understands the mouse moves the arrow, the keyboard puts letters in.

It's still like watching someone's grandparent use a pc. But there's an attempt.

Also this happens and she nearly darts out the chair knocking over.

...









Did she break it?]

TIME IS MEANINGLESS.

[starswink]

[Well that chair thud draws Yoosung's attention away from the console, at least.]

Oh hey! Did you find something too?

[stopfen]

[She just turns and she's already at the bottom of the stairs.]

I don't know.

[starswink]

[checking....]

Omg... you actually cleared a firewall...

[he is shocked. You know what. You get a thumb's up.]

Good job! That means we're closer to finding even more clues.

[there are clues!!]

[stopfen]

There...There wasn't a fire?

[It sounds like she did a good thing though. So she steps back into the room peering at him and the computer.]

[starswink]

Oh, sorry! That's just what we call a security system on a computer. We've been trying to hack these... we already found some information.

Do you think you could gather everyone else while we finish up here? There's a lot to share.

[dereban]

Oh, you-- actually.

Huh.

[ That's pretty lucky if you ask her. ]

[starswink]

Right? Mikasa's amazing!

[Even if it is just amazing luck.]

[dereban]

Maybe I should get her to do a roll in one of my gachas.

[ SHE HAS HER PHONE, MAYBE MIKASA CAN GET HER AN SSR ]

[starswink]

Yeah - wait, does that mean you have a cell phone here? One that works??

[he's SO JEALOUS]

[dereban]

Yeah.

That's how I found out about the wi-fi. Unfortunately, I don't have a charger, so I can't use it for too long.

[starswink]

Huh, that makes sense. Too bad. I'd totally share some if I knew how to access my own power source.

[he misses the internet so much :(]

[stopfen]

[Please ignore her tripping on the top stair. She's just going to get everyone, not that there's a lot of places to hide. Or not be heard. ]

[starswink]

[He'll at least glance to see if she's okay!! They warned us about stairs, bro]

[stopfen]

[She's fine, she's just bad a praise.

Getting people, shoo.]

[starswink]

[whew!!] Thanks again!!

[dereban]

. . . Uh.

Are you okay?

[stopfen]

[Even she can't answer that.]

CLUE ROUNDUP

[starswink]

[So once Mikasa gathered as many people as were willing to show up, Yoosung is here to share his findings at the console.]

So... if any of you were wondering what kind of info is in the kitchen console. There's a series of logs that look like they were written by Vyce. It describes realities, as in other worlds, being corrupted as if they were made of code. "Pieces of the worlds are missing" is something he wrote in it a few times. According to him there's a virus-like thing that's causing the universes to glitch, and he called it "The Entity."

I think this has something to do with the message Vyce is trying to send. He's trying to get the "Champion" to come back and "face the truth" of this entity. The universes effected by it will disappear from existence into static.

We also have Sierra, his AI, active. It seems like we can talk to him, so we should try that whenever we think of anything. Most of his functions are disabled so I think that's all he can do though. I don't think I can fix his code in the time we have left. I'm sorry... I did all I could think of, but I'll keep trying for now.

... That's basically it. There was a video too, the one Jaeris recorded. It had coordinates to plug in and contact his wife, but we haven't figured out how to use them yet... Amami and Inaba saw it too, anything else to add?

[nolongerasleep]

I wish I could help with fixing him, but without my normal powers I'd be of little help.

Have you tried asking him how Jaeris traveled to this location? Perhaps with that we may be able to find a way to escape.

[starswink]

Inaba said we're on Pluto. We'd need a ship...

[nolongerasleep]

Ships aren't the only way to travel between planets. In my world we had a portal that could be used. The point is, he had to get here somehow from that America place some people spoke of, and it is unlikely that is a one way trip.

[starswink]

Alright then... the computer's right there. Let's ask him. Anyone can talk to him, he's voice activated.

[booting up Sierra again!]

[strangerpeople]

[boop]

Oh, hello. My master is still asleep, I take it.

[nolongerasleep]

Hi Sierra. I'm Lithia and I'm sorry but he still is. May I ask you a question?
