Heyyyy guys, Ringo and Figue here. We’ve got news!

Figue
Unfortunate news. I’m very sorry, but Ringo and I tried to hack into the server in order to try and obtain some answers or at least tamper with the code to prevent things like Astarion’s post from pulling unauthorized photographs of the guests, but…

It seems to have… backfired.

🍎
Yeah, so… Figue and I are kind of… stuck right now? Like. In the server. We have actual bodies so this shouldn’t even be possible, but you all know how “impossible” and “this hotel” go together.

Figue
It seems we’re unable to escape on our own without a specific word assigned to each of us being typed into the server. However, it’s considered to be “banned” and therefore we’re unable to tell you what those words actually are.

Additionally, the data itself is behaving abnormally. Please be careful.

🍎
Anyway, we’re counting on you guys! Thanks in advance! 🙏

ooc: So Figue and Ringo fucked around and found out! They snooped into the server and have now been sucked into said server. They’re stuck in there until someone types the “banned” word associated with each of them. Pls help.

Additionally, their hacking has temporarily ruined the server for everyone else a little. Per Squee, everyone will find that when they try to type into the server, they’ll end up spilling their true thoughts instead of whatever they were going to say. Their brain to fingers filter has been removed.

We can all play with this to whatever extent we want to! It’ll linger intermittently for a few days, and then taper off, and your character’s account can just be totally unaffected if you want them to be.

feel free to threadjack and use this post as a mingle for spilling-your-characters'-guts shaped shenanigans! Figue and Ringo will pop in here and there too. ♥

purple!!

[He's helping.]

[hexensabbat]

[She is absolutely cracking up at Figue from in the server-verse.]

Good try good try!! Keep it up!

[astarion]

[Hey, it's a legitimate attempt, right.]

No? Hm, I suppose colors would have been too easy

A bit difficult for those of us who don't know you all that well. What about... library?

[hexensabbat]

Yeah it's super rude, but par for the course, really. If it was easy, it wouldn't be much of a punishment, right?

Are we still working on Figue? True, she's kind of got that bookish vibe, right?

[astarion]

Oh, no, that was for the both of you. As I understand it, an "AI" is like a walking, talking library. An automaton of knowledge.

But I suppose that wasn't it, either. Too broad, not individualized enough.

[hexensabbat]

Oooooh yeah that makes sense. I could see Figue explaining us that way.

[It's not wrong, just... very clinical. Classic Figue, really.]

Not quite though, yeah. This is really making me think I should've been even chattier with everyone.

[astarion]

Perhaps you might list some likes, hobbies, and what-have-you, or else we'll be here all day, spouting useless things like "apple."

[hexensabbat]

Listen, that's a legitimately good guess.

But yeah, alright, let's see... I don't feel like I've been around long enough to have hobbies? At least, not hobbies that are going to help out with this.

Sidequests? I dig a good sidequest. Especially if I'm getting paid for it.

[astarion]

And only if you're being paid for it, I hope.

[Which he knows is probably not the case, given what he's talked about with Figue, but he will always take the opportunity to snipe at a little heroism.]

What sort of sidequests? "Go slay this horrendous-looking aberration for a few pieces of gold" or "please find my lost cat" sort of sidequests?

[refiguered]

[ oh. STOP LAUGHING, RINGO. ]

I really appreciate the enthusiasm and the effort, Astarion...

[hexensabbat]

[no, it's funny]

[astarion]

[sorry for him]

Of course, darling. I should hate for you to be trapped with no way out. I, of all people, know just how precious true freedom is.

Is it stuffy in there, by the way?

[refiguered]

It's not exactly cramped. It's more like... a bit of a void, except for the data and Ringo and myself.

[astarion]

Well, that sounds terrible, either way. Nothing of interest in that "data", though, while you're stuck in there and we're out here, trying to suss out your magical words?

[refiguered]

Believe me, I wish I could say we'd found something, but no. Nothing interesting, nothing incriminating, just...

Well, I'm not sure exactly what this code is that we can't tamper with, but hopefully it won't cause problems.

[ No problems, just no brain-to-mouth filter, it's fine. ]

[astarion]

[Surely this won't be a problem for anyone further down the line.]

Hells, why not another problem to add to the list? Between that and floating sprigs that incite violence, what's one more?

[Yeah, actually, now he's a little wary.]

[refiguered]

[ SURELY. ]

At the very least, I hope this won't incite violence.

[astarion]

Now, I usually don't mind a whiff of violence now and again. Sometimes spilling blood's fun.

[What was that about a no-brain-to-typing filter? Well. It's Astarion, he might have typed that normally, anyway.]

I just don't like how the hotel went about it the last time. Though I can't imagine how we'll all be violent at each other over the server, unless it's for a through of verbal sparring.

[survivaltricks]

exotic.

[what]

[astarion]

[what]

What?

[survivaltricks]

that word doesn't start with a 'c.' i win.

[astarion]

You can't win a game when I don't know the rules to start!

[survivaltricks]

too late.

the victory is mine.

i'm clamining this honor proudly.

[astarion]

Now hold on! If you want a word that starts with c, then you can have a word that starts with c.

Carrot

[survivaltricks]

now that's more like it.

technology!
