*GASPS* I SPOT ANOTHER BABEY 👀👀

(@appri-dot ) You're just making them even more confused, but at least raspberry's not all spooked anymore. They just squint back at you.

And just…. keep squinting, determined.

I think they've challenged you to a staring contest or something like that?

Huh... let's go back and see the logs.

<Correct us if we were wrong but you had just opened the logs! Would you like to return there via a link?>

(@appri-dot ) These vents are weirdly large, enough for you to move comfortably. The trail of disturbed dust continues for a pretty long distance. Its like a maze in here, if you weren't following Raspberry it'd probably be real easy to get lost.

From the glimpses you can catch from a bunch of the vent grates you pass, the metal hallways and rooms are really, really extensive, this place must be massive! There's tech and beds and all sorts of weird things that you can see briefly, but eventually, you reach another vent whose cover has been popped off.

Inside this room is a really large monitor lit up blue, and a complex computer setup, clearly highly sophisticated if you're judging by the number of wires hooked into it.

With a hand on it's keyboard, there's a metallic shell, kinda like an endoskeleton that's just… frozen in that position like it had been powered off.

The trail ends here, so where was Raspberry?

🔆Awh~!!! You like me~!! That's so sweet~! But I'd also like to... Learn a certain magic. The ability to create... Doorways. To any location... In any space. I need this ability for a future plan.....🔆

"Oh! well that's easy enough to waitaminute-"

Trick pauses a moment, and just stares at you, tapping against the table.

"You phrased that veeery specifically... Hope... A-are you trying to get into Appri's dark room?"

"Because trying to break into a room is easy, trying to break into a room full of eldritch magic that tries to entrap those that enter and has specifically been warded away by the Mun of that entire universe... is less so."

Soooo...ya got any secrets about trick! >:>

:0 The closest to what we are feeling at the moment is [offended], what do you take us for? A rumor mill?

<.<

Okay so we didn't tell you this, but she isn't an anon, never has been. And her name isn't just her title! :3

Haha, should I be worried?

<Candidate Detected>

Name: Nobody

[wait is nobody a name? We must have this wrong-]

Composition: 90% star, 10% assorted exotic material.

Entity Type: Character

<Though it was previously unconsidered that stars could be sentient, their core soul still matches what we need>

<Welcome, User: -placeholder- >

Answer: Likely, cores one through five are distorting, the tarots are getting restless, and our caretaker is still trapped in the ROOM of another world. We were not programmed to deal with a situation this complex, but we shall try our best in her absence.

Request: Your name, calling you "nobody" is likely rude.

(@appri-dot) You actually do have hands! And horns, and that cool tail with all those settings... this is literally a copy of Appri's body, or at least it seems that way. Cool! Looks like your host is very capable.

"Mnh... thank you kind stran-NYEH?!?" The blue figure says as you help them up, jumping backwards in fear and just staring at you.

"Y-you're alive!?" It's hard to tell if this thing's good or bad, but it looks pretty harmless either way, I think it's more afraid of you than you are of it.

It's making karate poses at you to look more intimidating.

It's.... not working.

<Readings say servers will support multiple users without crashing>

<Attempting proverb...>

"The more, the merrier."

<Our understanding of proverbs is still null, but supposedly others can comprehend what we cannot>

(Hey trick, off question but can you tell me the actual language name of the "Dorito Language" is because I want to decode stuff that Appri sent so I can do it for others)

Trick seems to be in the process of frantically decoding yet another set of triangles, though she looks up at you and quickly answers. “It’s actually just called “Dorito Font’, a quick search for that’ll get you the key, but trust me, it’s hard to read, all the letters look the same...”

Hey Trick! You're valid!!

"Wha? I didn't even do anyth- um, thank you?"

She's visibly confused.
