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.
Oh wow you survived
"Survived... what exactly?" She asked, it's been a crazy couple of months, the anon's not quite sure which calamity you're referring to.
(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...”
Yes! I like hugs and I wanted to visit you since I've heard about you in Appri's blog!
“Ah, not surprised, they’ve been trying to organize someone to take care of the younger anons and apparently i’m one of the candidates. I’d help out whenever I could but…” She looks back at the multitude of screens on the wall, all brimming with different displays and pieces of data. Most of this looked like it was monitoring other universes. “My paws are a bit full, I wouldn’t be able to be the main caretaker, y’know? You though… so far you seem to be good with that sort of stuff.”
🔆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."
(@appri-dot ) Yep! It's like a normal monitor, with a power button and everything! In fact even all the servers here have power buttons, as said, they're just... off at the moment.
Your endoskeleton pal is obviously still being useful as it just continues to not move, very helpful.
Logs?
<Notice: This is flooded with glitches and bloat, we've dug out a few that may prove interesting.>

<This was all the systems themselves got out before something crippled them. We do not know what the "Illicit items" are, unfortunately.>
What's going on here? Ó.ò

<Huh, we already have records on this one. Something about a ray gun? We'll just add them here...>
<Welcome, User: Defness >
Answer: As previously stated, our facility, which was previously maintained by Trick Anon, has fallen into critical status. We are seeking your assistance in retrieving her and managing what has occurred in her absence.
Ah oop

Occupation: Angst Demon
Entity Class: Mun
<Identity classified as suitable replacement>
<Welcome, user: Appri >
How can we be of assistance?
[Note: uplink lag detected, responses may be delayed.]
<Critical Error: Command console disconnected>
<Tampering Detected, engaging reboot...>
[Thank you all for appearing in this time of need, we'll be back as soon as we are able! Apologies for the holdup, messing with our own source code is hard and also dangerous. More updates to come.]
<Channel Closed>
Nebbie..? Sounds a little like "nubby"!
Agreed, it is amusing is it not?
[At least we believe this feeling to be amusement?]
Though such a name was technically based on "nebula" at first. We... get the impression that you believe Trick to be much older than she actually is, youth from her culture often have endearing names until they mature.
By reading through various logs, we have discovered she finds this quite [embarrassing].
A mischievous anon that tends to poke into places it probably shouldn't. Creator / bestower of Trick!Cards, and fully interactable!
