THANK YOU! WELCOME TO THE TERMINAL.
[10-13-24XX/13:12] ??? : Hello...?
[10-13-24XX/13:13] ??? : I woke up in a strange room, I think I need help. The door's locked. I don't know where I am.
[10-13-24XX/13:13] ??? : Holy shit, I don't know who I am.
[10-13-24XX/13:45] Scythe : Since when can we italicize on this thing? How did you do that.
[10-13-24XX/14:02] ??? : Hello??? Shit, I must've fallen asleep. Who are you?
[10-13-24XX/14:04] ??? :
I used
CONTROL I
to italicize, by the way. I don't know how I knew that. Muscle
memory, maybe? I can
bold
,
underline
, and
strike
, too.
[10-13-24XX/14:04] ??? : Why do I know this and not my name.
[10-13-24XX/14:23] Scythe : Oh, you're a computer geek. Great.
[10-13-24XX/14:24] blight : y'know, scythe, newbies would like ya a whole lot more if you actually answered (shit, that's cool) their questions
[10-13-24XX/14:24] blight : how you managed to get assigned as a greeter is beyond me
[10-13-24XX/14:23] Scythe : It's not my fault I'm the best here at forcing forward. Without me, newbies would have the reigns for hours (I do like the italics, though. Thanks, newbie).
[10-13-24XX/14:51] ??? : Can someone please just answer my questions?
[10-13-24XX/15:08] Scythe : Ugh, fine. Rattle them off, I'll answer what I can.
[10-13-24XX/15:08] Scythe : Blight'll probably pick up my slack, she always does.
[10-13-24XX/15:17] ??? : Why do I keep falling asleep? Where am I? Who am I? Who are you? Who is Blight? Why do you only answer when I'm sleeping? When can I leave?
[10-13-24XX/15:34] Scythe : Succinct, I like that.
[10-13-24XX/15:40] Scythe : Well, for starters, you're not falling asleep. Good guess, though. You're falling back. Eventually you'll figure out how to fall back far enough to either dream or join the rest of us (probably). You're in a prison cell. Well, more like a prison house , but you won't get the passcode to leave the room until I decide you're ready for that. Who you are? I don't know. You'll have to decide. You have a name, somewhere. Let me know when you find it. As for who I am? Scythe. I'm a greeter. You'll hear from me a lot, to start. Blight is sort of an assistant? She jumps around, helps out, does what needs doing. She's useful. You'll like her, probably, most of us do. I'm answering you when I come forward, I take control of the body and you fall back. You may learn how to do it on command, eventually.
[10-13-24XX/15:42] Scythe : The leaving thing...? Well, I already told you you'll be able to leave the room. The body and the house, though? You're stuck here. For the foreseeable future. Nobody's ever really left, as far as we know.
[10-13-24XX/15:43] Scythe : Also, change your passcode. I don't know what you set it to, but I guarantee it's too easy to guess. You don't want to be so easily impersonated while you're still unable to join the brainspace.
[10-13-24XX/15:54] blight : he actually summed that up pretty well. mostly cos of your questions, i think. props.
