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. ♥

Dear Figue and Ringo,

My, what a predicament. Guessing a single word among all that exist is quite the riddle...
Why don't we start with the letter 'A'?

Abacate
Abacaxi
Abaci
Abacisci
Abaciscus
Abacist
Aback
Abacot
Abacterial
Abactinal
Abactinally

[ Giselle is typing... ]

[refiguered]

[ Help. ]

I apologize that we can't really provide clues...

[fixtures]

Abactor
Abaculi
Abaculus
Abacus
Abacuses
Ab aeterno
Abaft

There is no apology necessary, my dear.
I have plenty of time...
So, this dictionary should prove helpful.

[ Giselle is typing... ]

[refiguered]

I think you likely could have found something more enjoyable during that time, at least.

[fixtures]

Oh? I am simply content to have a task in front of me.
I find myself at a loss of what to do with my time, while here...
A few hours is nothing to me.

I do not wish to leave you and Ringo isolated there, either.

[ meanwhile she's typing more words in another tab for copy + paste purposes, ]

[refiguered]

Truly, I appreciate the help.

Ad as long as you don't mind...

[fixtures]

As I have told Ringo, it is merely a pleasure to be of service.
A maid should solve all problems she comes across efficiently and to the best of her ability.

[ then, for the spilling your guts portion of this message: ]

Furthermore, I was once trapped in a place where I could not be reached.
It was, perhaps, the loneliest time of my life.
It would simply be a shame, should the same fate come to you.

[refiguered]

[ oh dear. ]

You were trapped?

I would hope, at the very least, you escaped before coming here?

[fixtures]

Not quite.
Part of why I journeyed to this hotel was to pass the time...
Until the next time that I may see light.

[ hm. WHY did she type that. quick, time to backpedal: ]

It is nothing for you to concern yourself over, however, my dear.

[refiguered]

My apologies, but that's a concerning statement.

I think being able to see light is something worth struggling for. Or at least accepting help for, if possible?

[fixtures]

It will happen when it is meant to, and not a moment sooner.
I do not think it is something that can be helped, I'm afraid.

But it is alright. I simply must wait until time moves again. And here, the wait is far more bearable — there are people to whom I can speak, like yourself and Ringo. For that, I'm grateful.

u forgot aardvark

[fixtures]

Yes, aardvark, aardwolf, and aardwolves, now that I look more closely.
I omitted several proper nouns at this book's beginning, thinking that those are likely not the answers.
I appreciate your help.

Aardwolf - a maned striped nocturnal mammal (Proteles cristatus) of southern and eastern Africa that resembles the related hyenas and feeds chiefly on insects and especially termites

Have you ever heard of such a creature?

[unliminal]

wtf
nope i haven't
how come everyone goes on about the aardvark but never the aardwolf?

[ DO people go on about the aardvark...no, not really, but he's at least heard of it before! ]

[fixtures]

Perhaps it is only well known in the region it comes from.
Surely there are animals like this where you hail from?

[hexensabbat]

[Hot damn.]

Now that's what I'm talking about! You're the greatest, Giselle!

[fixtures]

[ this message is preceded by like. 1/4 of the words in the "b" section of the dictionary. sorry to everyone in the server for the huge wall of text. she's diligent! ]

A pleasure to be of service.

It is a shame that I cannot hasten the process, but with luck, the answer will be found in due time.
Unless any of the guests have had luck already?

[hexensabbat]

[help i love her.]

No dice yet. I feel kind of bad. I definitely didn't mean to make this the world's most self-absorbed scavenger hunt.

[fixtures]

And why should you feel guilty for seeking freedom?

[hexensabbat]

No, it's not that. Just weird being the focus of this whole shebang. I kind of want to encourage everyone to just go about their business.

Eventually, someone will type the words. Probability is on our side.

[fixtures]

Oh, dear. Could it be that you are a bit more shy than you let on?

[hexensabbat]

Whaaaat? Maybe a little, sometimes.

[HEY.



RUDE, FINGERS.]

Oh. Yikes.

[fixtures]

[ 🚨🚨🚨 RINGO MOE REVEAL 🚨🚨🚨 ]

It is nothing to be ashamed over.
A shy woman can be quite darling.
Hehe...

[hexensabbat]

[WOW PLS.]

I'm not a shy woman! Jeeze! This is weird and embarrassing!

[fixtures]

Oh? Is that so?
Then I will have to take your word for it.

[ no, she's definitely convinced that ringo is a little shy now... how cute.... ]

How would you describe yourself, then?
