(@appri-dot) Strawberry is scandalized, they pout overdramatically, but can't help but grin at your trick. "That's cheating! You can't jus-"

The critter was cut off rather rudely by the entire hallway shaking, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound that caused them to quite nearly fall over, clutching your arm for support.

"T-that doesn't sound good-"

Very sorry for interrupting, I hope your noggin’s gonna do better! But hey, self defense is the best defense. I’ll give ya my website later, but have fun with your guest and new toy!

———————— “Huh. This looks awfully like something from… falldown? I dunno I haven’t been to that verse in ages. As long as this thing doesn’t have hidden fees or something, thank you Def! Just…” She held her face in her paws for a moment. “Actually knock, or just don’t scream your first words when you pop into existence, please…”

(@appri-dot ) You poke the endoskeleton! It... collapses across the ground with a loud clatter like a suit of armour. I’m not entirely sure what you were expecting since nothing was holding it up and it’s just a bit of metal. I’m pretty sure if it was alive it would’ve stopped itself from hitting the floor, so at least you learned one thing from that.

And also yeah the shelf in front of the door is loaded with servers, so you’re probably not propping that back upright, looks like it’s been pushed over in front. If you want to drag the hunk of metal through the vents again I won’t stop you, but it does actually seem to just be a bit of metal.

You get the most peculiar sensation, like you’re missing something important.

The one live server’s activity light is flickering wildly now, which is kinda distracting, but it won’t dissuade you from doing anything. Are you sure you want to leave this area?

What's going on-? Mmhh...

<Candidate Uplink Received>

Name: Atum

Shade: Yellow

[Query: Are apples yellow?]

Entity Class: Anon Subspecies

<As an anon, processing you should be fairly simple, candidate confirmed>

<Welcome, User: Atum >

Answer: We have attempted over one thousand recovery attempts with no success, it has become clear these attempts will bring us nowhere, therefore we have attempted to pend a request for assistance, and here you are!

Oh, thank you! *I take the the creamy coffee with the glitter and take a sip of it*

Trick simply nods and gives a smile in response, then turns back to her deal.

(@appri-dot ) Apparently it actually is possible to make the creature even more confused, because they definitely look that way as you run down the hall.

Glancing quickly from your detached hand, to you yourself, they process this just in time to yell, "Hey! Wait, you don't eve-" But the rest of the sentence was cut off as you turn the corner and move further into this unknown space.

-

The weird metallic design of grate and ceiling lights continues around the corner, stretching into yet another hallway. This one has doors at the sides that probably open into other rooms, but that's partially drowned out by the sound of another huge rumble from somewhere further down the hall.

The shaking is stronger this time, you're getting closer.

Appri-Caught (RP thread)

Because of the Unus Annon stuff going on, you are now Amy. Hope is Ethan, Ritual is Mark. Fox is Sean. You're also amazing.

Trick nods and just laughs. “So I can send Ritual and Hope into a panic attack whenever they were supposed to clean stuff up but didn’t? You’re giving me too much power! Oh, and thank you! I’d hug you but… actually y’know what, why not.” And she hugs the featureless anon sent in your place instead, without a name, that’s the best the anon can do.
