i need all you people to each answer one (1) weirdly specific question. it's for a computer.

[OOC: Part of Sophie's player plot!]

Comments

[querulus]

yeah i know, genius. i'm saying YOU are not included.

relax, i'm a professional.

[hexcope]

The "WE" here means all of Etraya, smartass.

What do you need from Antigone? She doesn't look at the network much anyway.

[querulus]

fine, i'll bite. why should "we" not mess with the computer?

if she doesn't look at the network i'll just text her. we're pals.

[hexcope]

No, I'll text her. What's her question.

We shouldn't mess with the computer because we don't know what it's hooked up to. Have you tried tracing it to anything before just breaking in?

[querulus]

what are you, her dad? highly doubt that, you're a lot less furry. even with the beard.

it's a dusty old ibm model 5150 in a dankass cave full of weirdly humanoid bones. what it's hooked up to is like 22 things down the list of what's sus about this shit. but if i do nothing then i'm gonna die of boredom anyway so may as well find out something.

[hexcope]

And like no alarm bells from the skeletons went off in that huge brain of yours?

Sorry, but your boredom is the least of my concerns.

[querulus]

of course alarm bells went off, dumbass. everything here is alarm bells 25/7 and if you haven't noticed that you're dumber than you look.

forgive me if i'd rather DO something than sit around with my thumb up my ass prolonging the status quo. we're all gonna be saying thank you may i have another when omniscient robo-mommy spanks us again next month anyway.

[hexcope]

Did Mr. Mastermind consider that doing this could cause that very potential thing you're so concerned about to happen?

[querulus]

idk, did mr. "dubious ethics in science and progress is only okay when i do it" ever consider that we've been talking about the stupid thing on the network and nobody's been smited yet?

[hexcope]

"Dubious ethics in science and progress" enjoyers are all well aware a lack of reaction from Aurora is not a data point that this is "above board."

You're running a risk, with everyone else as collateral, and you know it. Least you could do is admit that.

[sophielicious]

instead of complaining why don't you get here and fucking help

[hexcope]

I'll come and look.

[sophielicious]

ill go to the entrance and pick you up. place's a maze.

im watching you so no worries there

[hexcope]

If I get even a whiff there's a problem in there, we're leaving. Both of us.

[sophielicious]

what? absolutely fucking not. you get a whiff of something wrong, you talk to me. MAYBE we leave.

best offer i can give you.

[hexcope]

Are you actually going to care if I bring up something legitimate? Or are you so "bored" you'll do something dangerous anyway?

[sophielicious]

when have i ever said im bored when doing this kind of stuff

i care but i cant promise it will convice me. can we leave it at that

[hexcope]

Quentin did, and you're working as partners.

Fine.

[querulus]

so what's the alternative? we sit and stare at the computer for an arbitrary amount of time until somebody decides it's time to enter the information?

if you're gonna be so hoity-toity about it how about you trot your happy ass down here??

[hexcope]

Pent up at the idea that someone might not be you?

I'm already trotting. Thanks to Sophie, by the way.

[querulus]

oh i'm sorry i'll remember to consult king jayce first next time. shall i seek approval before i take a dump, good sir?

didn't see you asking for my help buddy

haha they have a secret communication vehicle

[sophielicious]

/Needless to say, I lied a-really bad. If something awful or whatever happens, and we're not done with this bullshit, you take Mr. Know It All and his squishy, inexperienced ass out and leave me there./

[querulus]

/As if I need much of an excuse to shut down Tall, Dark, and Pretentious. I'll keep him in one piece. Well. No more than two pieces./

[sophielicious]

/Thanks. He's not gonna be happy with either of us. You cool with that? I'm cool with that./

[hexcope]

Seems like you didn't need anyone's permission to take a perfectly fine dump all over the place here.

I didn't plan on coming, and I still don't want to. I don't like that place. But someone needs to be a present adult.
