AND THE PEOPLE WHO GAIN THE WORLD

[strangerpeople]

AND LOSE THEIR SǪ͞UL̨̡͢


[The time goes down to zero. Vyce's fists clenched.]

. . .You fools.

[He raises a hand, and suddenly, Lala lets out a gasp as she begins to grab at her throat. Green lines begin to glow from within her body as she starts to writhe, before falling to the ground into convulsions.]

For all of your claims and bravado, you still voted to condemn her! You claim to care, you claim she is innocent, you claim to want to take her place, but in the end it never mattered!

THIS is why I cannot trust anyone with my mission! THIS is why YOU would fail in MY shoes! THIS IS WHY I ALONE MUST--



[Suddenly, everyone is thrown to the side as something violently jostles the whole house, Vyce included. Immediately, Lala collapses to the floor, and the glowing lines disappear.]

WHAT THE-

[It actually felt like the house was rammed just then.]

Preferably in chronological order.

Okay. Well...

Lala tried to bring your phone back to you and Vyce decided that counted as withholding your anchor or something stupid like that. After we heard what happened... most of us thought it was BS. I don't know who did it, but some people still voted. Then Linkara interrupted her execution by ramming into the house. THEN, we all started messing with stuff in the house to annoy Vyce, and he teleported in to attack Lithia and Lala. A bunch of people were fighting in there, then I got his weapon, and he teleported back out. Linkara blew up the ship he was on... beamed us on board his ship.... and there are a couple of people here who have offered to collect all of our hostages and get the nanites out of them.

That just left you to bring back... umm, I know you might think you're just a copy, but apparently there's a thing called 'living data', and that's what we are. I'm not sure, but I think it means our soul is tied to the data. Or maybe is the data? That whole log about the Entity mentioned something about life and the universe being made out of something code-like...

And they told you about the body you're in, so that's all, I guess.

[dereban]

Ugh.

If it deals with numbers, there's someone I know who's better at that sort of thing. But that might just be in this world? So maybe it's following the rules of that, I'm not sure.
