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. ♥

[Ah, his watercolor....b...uddy. Trapped in a void? Maybe he can empathize just a wee bit.]

The server is being more trouble than it's worth again, I see.

[hexensabbat]

Oh, we started it, to be totally fair.

[vecna]

[Oh, and Ringo's here too.]

Causing trouble on purpose? I can't blame you. I don't think the punishment suits the crime.

I suppose my telepathy won't cross into the digital landscape, will it?

[Otherwise he'd just pry those words out of their minds.]

[hexensabbat]

It's worth a try.

Do me, not Figue, though.

[vecna]

Why just you? Afraid of something going haywire?

[hexensabbat]

"Afraid"'s not the right word.

But this really isn't the place to talk about it. It's a memories thing, okay?

[vecna]

That just makes it all the more tempting.

[Oh. Did he... type that. It's fine.]

But don't worry. I'll just try to "find" you.

[hexensabbat]

[down boy]

Yeah you'd better. I like you fine but some things shouldn't be messed with.

[Like Figue's memories.]

Anyway, go for it.

[I have no idea what'll happen. Let's make it be something stupid.]

[vecna]

[ :( ]

All right. Here goes. I've never done this before, so...

[Don't worry. Something stupid will happen. But first: he tries to reach his telepathy... into the network? Help?? This probably won't do anything, but does Ringo sense anything on her end?]

[hexensabbat]

[I'll be real I have no idea how his psychic powers would interact with a technological network.

But let's go ahead and say that for a brief moment, he finds her! And she finds him! But mostly she's just a lot of:

01010010 01101001 01101110 01100111 01101111 00100000 01100001 01100111 01100101 01101110 01110100 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01000001 01101001 01101111 01101110]

[vecna]

[He's pleasantly surprised that it worked! He feels the presence of a consciousness, but all he can garner from it, really, is a bunch of 0s and 1s. IS that what it's like to be an AI? He wouldn't know!

And not having anything to root himself into means that Henry can't do... a whole lot else with his telepathy, and a moment later, his powers recede.

He types out a reply, but... what do you know. His keyboard is glitched.]

[nonsensical emojis only]

[hexensabbat]

[help i love this



She squints at that.]

Flan dango old person person walking?

[vecna]

[Help. No, he's trying to make sense of an all-emoji keyboard when he never uses them anyway.

Typing... typing...]

👎⌨︎

[hexensabbat]

[.....]

Ooooohhhhh. You're stuck on emoji only mode.

LOL. It's like you're someone in a stream chat who was naughty. 😹

[vecna]

[Typing... typing...





Ultimately:]

🙄

[hexensabbat]

[HA.]

LOL.

Is it to everyone or just this channel?

[refiguered]

I should have expected it. It's a server capable of doing more than what a normal one typically has access to.

[vecna]

You wouldn't have known until you tried. Better than just accepting that it does what it likes, whenever it likes.

[Anyway.]

Watercolor.
Blossoms.
Pink.
Discover.

[refiguered]

[ Nada. ]

I WOULD like to paint with you again, of course.

[vecna]

I'd like that. I did have fun. Surprisingly.

Well. I admit I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to this guessing game, otherwise.

[refiguered]

That's entirely fair. I wish I could offer more clues, but...
