snowblindrpg | [network|video] @prettypinkflowers; you're never coming back; Day 359 [open] [cw: crucified robot]

[When Ginger's username shows up on the Network, it might come as a surprise that she's not posting a game. Or maybe it's not a surprise, given what they've all been through recently. Still, she has a serious, downcast expression from where she sits beside England and America. The smaller injuries that she sustained down in the cells have been primarily healed by now, though her hair is short and shaggy around her chin. She takes a moment, not too sure how or where to start, but with a deep breath, just decides to go for it.]

So we, like, found Andromeda's body.

[Yeah, that's a pretty big mouthful.]

I don't want to just show it right here in case anyone is, like, uncomfortable with it, but there's a recording attached for everyone who does.

[Attached is a video that scans over Andromeda's crucified body, her metallic innards spilling out of her abdomen. She hangs at the end of a chapel--a room that had been previously undiscovered, but it's not too hard to figure out where this is.]

We found her a couple of days ago but decided to wait to announce it because, like, America was able to--

[She stops and turns away from the camera, getting some kind of clarification from him before proceeding.]

--he found a wire or something to plug her into his tablet? And it took a whole day to finish downloading whatever it was that Andromeda had left inside of her, but once it was ready it's all encrypted. America couldn't get in with anything he had, so if anyone has anything that could help or any suggestions, that would, like, be super helpful!

[England taps Ginger's shoulder from out of the frame so that she can pass the tablet to him to add something. England is in a similar state as Ginger, healed of his minor injuries but still bearing signs of the greater damage. He's sombre but businesslike as he speaks.] We did search the body for any electronic components that would be particularly useful, but the wire was the only thing of note. I'm afraid most of what remained was just torn up metal.

[And what a horrible way to go, his expression says. But he hands the tablet back to Ginger. She pauses, not seeming to have anything to add but not wanting to just hang up.]

Yeah, like, okay! I think that's all! Thank you!

((ooc: Replies will come from England and America as well as Ginger! Please specify if you want someone specifically!))

[Well. That's...an awful way to go.

Rhys shows up Onscreen looking tired, on eye still covered with bandages, and frowning with sympathy.]

I don't know anything about tech so I can't really help, but...

I can perform a funeral, if you want me to come. The last one I did here seemed to go pretty well.

[If it would make Ginger feel a little better about the whole thing.]

She has a body?

[Rather than sounding appropriately disgusted or upset, Magenta just sounds curious.]

Didja dissect it like a frog? See what's all in there? D'you know who did it?

[Seeing the video reminds chaos of his partner, Mary, and the robotic form that had housed her consciousness back home. He's seen her in dreamscapes, crucified in a similar manner.]

....Andromeda...

Is this what was in the old church?

[A low sigh...]

How mobile are her remains?

Perhaps if someone brings her remains to her old house, where her consciousness can still be found...

Crap.

[ Censoring herself doesn't even cross her mind. Oh, Andromeda. :( ]

I mean - Me or Rhys could take a look, if you like. At the file. Probably better for it to be Rhys. Um, did you... you know, bury her or anything? Or put a sheet over her or something. That seems like a thing someone should do.

[ People who were much better prepared to ask questions about the body were following up on that information, so Will asked the first question that came to his mind. ]

How are you doing, Ginger?

They caught her after all...poor Andromeda. Poor Winter.

[But...something keeps it from being the completely shattering revelation it might have been.]

...There is something left of her. Like Winter. They aren't human, so, the both of them might still be saved. Whatever she left us, it's important.

[The original residents might, even, but Enoch wouldn't have the foggiest clue how, and he's not even sure he would want to. They've been going on for over a thousand years watching sessions come and fail. How many of them want to be restored?

They should ask, he thinks.]

[ Crucified people, hanged people, eviscerated people... surprising on Pandora, at first. Commonplace, too soon. Here, all the same.

It's still a sick shift in his gut, given the right circumstances.

Robots are better than people.

Angel's directing the data his way, so he hasn't much to say. Just. ]

I'll do my best. Which is the best, s-so she's -- she'll be in good hands.

...wish I could give her a blanket.

[Ah, yes, America couldn't get in with 'anything he had.' Stephen's going to take that to include the hacking app House had mentioned.]

Winter might be able to help if we were in contact with her.

[Hint hint. Not that their attempts to call her on the Shadownet have ever seemed to do anything to hasten her return....]

And she...ought to know, too.
