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. ♥

This is getting ridiculous.

[cardsharked]

Tough crowd.

Shame about your bodies though. Hope you can get those back soon.

[refiguered]

It's been a while since we didn't have a solid form.

How strange to think I miss it.

[cardsharked]

Don't think it's all that weird, actually. It's easy to get attached to interacting with the world a certain way.

This body took a lotta work even if it's busted. I'd probably flip out if I got chucked into a mainframe instead and lost out on the senses that make it worth it.

[Hm, well, if you don't acknowledge you said more than you thought you did, sometimes it's smooth sailing. But she knows plenty of assholes who'd seize on every word getting smeared all over this chat.]

What dyou miss the most?

[refiguered]

I'm not quite certain what you mean by "busted", but...

I think I miss being able to speak with people. Interacting in a more personal way, that is.

[cardsharked]

[tch.]

Means exactly what it says. Sometimes things just get broken.

Same goes for people. [TCCCCCCHHHHHH, ANYWAY -]

That ain't surprising. There's a lot of nuance talking to somebody face-to-face we can take for granted. I'm no luddite, but being wired in 24/7's gotta be exhausting. All that kissing looks better when the alternative is loneliness.

[refiguered]

I think it's fine to want some sort of middle ground...

Well, ideally we'll be out of here soon.

[cardsharked]

Only if you're one of those "do things in moderation" types. Take it you're not the kissing's biggest fan either.

That's the spirit. Keep your chin up and you'll be free in no time. For now, why don't you start telling me everything you like about your cute sister to pass the time?

[Maybe they'll hit something she can't talk about and can work backwards from there, but Odette's not about to reveal her possible strategy out loud.]

[refiguered]

Cute...

Well, I like her decisiveness. She may come across as abrasive at times, but she's perceptive of what people need. She's also incapable of not helping others, though her reasons for doing so will definitely differ.

[cardsharked]

Funny you say that. Never really took her for abrasive, myself. [Hah... maybe she just sees something in Ringo's personality that's either familiar or more understandable than she wants to let on.] Guess she's just got a strong personality.

Her reasons differ from yours, or is she always finding a different reason to help out others?

[refiguered]

Oh, it varies. For both of us, really.

And thank you for your help.

[cardsharked]

Gotcha. You've both got a pretty soft spot for a pathetic story, huh?

No sweat though. Your sister's taking me for drinks. Got any plans for a reward of your own? [The drinks weren't planned as a reward, which Figue would easily see even glancing at their conversation.

[refiguered]

Yes. I will happily express my gratitude to you as someone kind enough to care for our well-being.

Thank you very much.

[cardsharked]

[All that talk about sidequests earlier and they can't even hand out a big reward for their own?] Now who's working for peanuts, huh?

Ain't it. It was just a fun riddle, and I learned something out of the ordeal myself anyway.

Sides, Ringo's seemed so excited about living life to the fullest. I couldn't just let you two get shelved and not experience what that's like.

[... tch]

[refiguered]

And we're very grateful for that. I suppose if nothing else, this was a learning experience. One I'd rather not repeat.

[cardsharked]

haha, see that you don't. buddy system's always a thing too for kids your age. might not be feeling so generous next time.

[She's going to jet before she says anything else she doesn't intend. She's not an idiot and won't engage with the hotel's shenanigans if she has a way to distance herself from them.]
