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. ♥

[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?

[hexensabbat]

I prefer to be paid.

[But yeah, sometimes people can't and they do it anyway.]

But wow, hey, yeah! You've got the idea. All of the above, really.

You sound pretty experienced with sidequests yourself.

[astarion]

What can I say? Sometimes very important adventuring is interrupted for the sake of fiddly little favors like "solve a murder" or other useless nonsense like that. Usually, I try to tell everyone no, but I'm often overruled by everyone else.

[hexensabbat]

Awww, you don't like solving murders or helping with fiddly little favors?

[astarion]

No. I like tending to my business and my business alone. Everything else just asks for extra trouble.

But this is about you, not me. Is your word related to your sidequests?

[Can she even say.]

I think that's a "no hints allowed" message.

[Damn.]

You might as well be stuck in there for an age, then.

It was nice knowing you!

[astarion]

[Just kidding, have some sidequest related words:]

money
fight
monsters
defeating
injury
tired
dirty
bloody
reward

[hexensabbat]

Aw, look at youuuu! Hopeless or not, here you are, still trying.

That's so nice of you!

Good sidequest words too.

[astarion]

[Damn, none of those, either.]

I'm not nice. I'm invested.

[hexensabbat]

Right, right, "invested". Doesn't really matter what your intentions are if the outcome is positive, I think.
