[network] @dickcheese, Day 130, video [open, cw talk of lobotomies]

[headjacked]

Who's in the mood for another session of Weird Shit I Saw Underground?? If you said no, w-well. Too bad.

[ Rhys is decked out in his yellow ducky bathrobe. One sleeve is pitifully empty, drooping off what remains of his shoulder. At least it looks relatively comfy? ]

Though, okay, I guess I didn't technically see the shit myself. Jack did. [ There is a pause as his jaw clenches for just a moment; he's clearly far from being on remotely good terms with the hologram, but information is information. ] He was looking through one of the maze walls, and it wasn't a maze. Er. [ That's not exactly clear. His big ol' brows furrow. ] He said he saw an abandoned, messed-up room. It was metallic, ripped apart, and leaking water everywhere. Aaaaand on top of that, everyone was moving, like, really really fast? It was -- his phrasing, not mine -- "some kind of whacked out illusion. Iunno. Only lasted, like, a second though."

Sooooo. Discuss??

A-also, second bit of business. Second... kind of super important bit of business I really really should've gotten out before. Can you blame me, though?? Stuff was kind of nuts, a--

[ DEEP BREATH. The rambling is getting out of control. ]

--aaaaanyway. Dr. Stitches. Stein. Eighty foot tall psycho guy? Yeah.

He likes performing lobotomies on people. When they don't actually want one.



Yeah.

[He's going to have to go back and watch that goddamn video again, isn't he? Please hold. It's about half an hour before he replies.]

there was water this time
not last time
not my last time

[He needs to stop, so he'll cut that off there.]

wings look about the same
dunno what happened after his tablet cut out
but the wings
sort of exploded with lightning
that's why i'm thinking emp

[phaseshifter]

[ It still has her wings.

That's hecked up. ]

An EMP would certainly fit. Additionally, when the AI of Jack attempted to phase his way through trapdoors and other sealed entrances he's been shut down in a similarly EMP-like ma

 

 

Huh. I wonder if he'd be able to peer into the morgue at night while Rhys is safe outside of it. And what he'd see if he did. It'd be interesting to see if the entity would react to his presence, if it *is* possible.

[harlequinofhate]

How far can this AI get from Jack-o boy?

[rubikscomplex]

the only thing that seals up down there is the stairwell
jack'll have to go through that door, the elevator lobby, and another set of doors
it's 10, maybe 15 feet

[harlequinofhate]

Unless we just have him stand in whatever room is above the morgue.

Then it's only, what, a coupl'a feet through the floor?

[phaseshifter]

My thoughts exactly.

Rhys can't make him do it, though. Jack would have to do it voluntarily, and in case anyone forgot: he's an asshole.

[ an uncensored one and everything ]

[rubikscomplex]

is he an asshole who wants to blink out when his flesh buddy dies of radiation sickness or turns into an amorphous blob of static?
i'm an asshole
i can still prioritize

[harlequinofhate]

I'm told I'm a monster and I sure as heck wanna know more about these thingummies roaming around.

[phaseshifter]

Sorry, I should amend that to "he's an exceptionally *petty* and stubborn asshole who loves milking the little bit of power over people that he still possesses."
Rhys might be able to convince him, but no promises.

[ She sure won't be able to. That'd require, like. Talking to the guy. ]

[harlequinofhate]

Rhysee's AI is Doctor House?

[phaseshifter]

Take away the medical training and replace it with a dose of corporate bs and megalomania and you aren't all that far off.

[harlequinofhate]

That sounds terrible.

[rubikscomplex]

thanks, babe

[harlequinofhate]

Oopsie, you're still here.

[phaseshifter]

Now kiss.

[rubikscomplex]

i know you hate me
but that's just gross, man

[harlequinofhate]

Oooh, dear Penthouse Forum...

[headjacked]

Shocking no one, I got a "what's in it for me?" And before you bring it up, yeah, I said our lives might depend on it.

That got an "ehhh." The grudging acceptance kind.

[harlequinofhate]

Tell him he might learn about some spiffy new tech to rule a world with. It sure seems to rule this one.

[phaseshifter]

Iunno about anyone else but I feel *so* honored right now.
