- Suimin
- Sixlux Stars in Water doesnt move/wake up when kaspar enters
- Kaspar shakes her
- She twists, tries to cover her eyes from incoming light of the doorway
- K: youre here???
- “Am i not allowed?”
- K: well its- you havent been here for months now! You disappeared with a note! Why are you here?
- “Bc u said its safe.”
- K: yeah! Was it not safe enough before? I can protect us!
- “Before was before the scarring. We diodnt know how unsafe itd be!”
- Six thinks shes a liability, tries to punch kaspar
- K: wtf??
- “An attempt at a punch?”
- K: i get the point ig. Ur so smart, uve taken care of urself for so long, together we can take care of ourselves so why didnt you stay with me??
- “I had a friend that needed my help. You didnt.”
- K: and- our mom died six! Our mom is dead! I wouldve loved- even if i didnt need help, i wouldve loved to not be alone in our apartment with our dead mom! Idk! We dont have anything but each other now, dont we?
- (she begins to make some sign, kinda fidgeting and beginning the sign before the other hand stops it)
- “Is it not good enough that im here now?”
- K: i mean… ur always good enough, but i- here today is better than here tomorrow, but i wish ud been here! I found other ppl now but thats bc i didnt have anyone! U werent here six. I didnt know what to do!
- “Well. but now u have them instead of just me.”
- K: i wouldve liked to have all of you from the start. I… i like having u around, ur important to me. Ur more important than the gamers ive collected! Even so im so glad ur home, but shiori only just came back. Mac went and joined the squoxes! Like i… i was scared, and… i… idk. I guess im making it abt me. I just wish u wouldve done smth other than disappear completely
- “I cant change the past, but i can be here now. Sorry to return only when it was safe.”
- K: can you promise youll stay?
- “....i can promise i can try.”
- K: great. Ig thats the best i can ask for of anyone at this point. Where even were you?
- “Over in Zal with a friend.”
- K: have i met this friend?
- “Ibis. With Ibis.” (heard it like once or twice, maybe have seen a picture mom sent)
- K: well… are they safe now?
- “They’re gone.”
- K: oh… im sorry six.
- “Im sorry too.”
- She hugs, looks at the spider
- “You got a pet.”
- K: i was killing it by being sad until like. Last week. But i got better. His name’s Baseball
- Kaspar lets us know in the text group chat
- Kaspar doesnt let us visit

- Some sort of meat pie
- Ko: yeah ofc! Mom id like u to meet someone
- Ko: one of my new friends

- “With the hellknight???”
- S: hi maam im sacrament. Im a hellknight im proud of it

- She shakes sacraments hand “well if uve saved cecilia”

- Al “they drew your ass on our convenience store.”
- Her body isnt good enough to be on the building but its on the building
- S: namewise its fitting
- “Thats probably why he did it”
- Ko: does it look good?
- “The sliding doors are your ass cheeks.”
- Ko: i see! Excellent work! Any advertising is free advertising!
- S: say al u dont find me intimidating do u
- “Not particularly”
- S: oh thats good, i think i was worried for nothin
- Ko: yeah shes judgemental but its fine, she cares. In her own way.
- S: thats good to have a mother- well i can stop the sentence there.
- Ko: so ur saying sacrament might have some mommy issues?
- S: um.
- Rest
- Go over to kaspar’s
- Kaspar warning their sister abt us arriving
- Sixlux has a slight rasp in her breath, only audible
- “Are these ur friends?”
- Ka: yes! These are the ppl that ive been sorta going around with. Haven patch ithax sacrament konbinis in the kitchen and i think vintovka is hung over
- P: so uh. Sixlux. Is it fine if i do a medical check up on you?
- Kaspar signs for him
- “Id rather not. Idk these ppl.”
- Ka: shed rather not, she doesnt know u. Sorry
- P: without touching, could i at least see if any damage has been done to you?
- “What damage could u see that i wouldnt know?”
- I: there’s a rasping sound to your breathing
- “It might be- i had to run at one point. Im not athletic. Im not as good as kaspar.”
- Ka: are you ok? Whyd you have to run?
- “Men with guns. U know how its been.”
- I: what have you been up to?
- “Trying to find a sense of community outside of here and away from here.”
- H: what made you come back?
- “Safety. And kaspar’s here.”
- (she left a week before the scarring)
- Analyze Target
- Finger prints r normal, but slight disruption from hand being cut open.
- She does have recent scarring, nothing notable.
- Physically weaker than sister
- She’s been talking with her mouth, smth her body isnt used to. Deaf ppl typically dont vocally talk, thus muscles atrophy
- I: what happened with the guns?
- “Idk, i was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
- I: gang thing? Where were u
- “Zal.”
- H: what were you doing in nenzal?
- “One of my friends was there, i couldnt leave.”
- S: stuck or smth to do?
- “Didnt feel i could return home until i saw on the news that it was safe.”
- Explain the basics of what we’ve been up to
- Ka: six, i peeked into ur room, and ithax went and grabbed one your journals? It was writing that u me and mom were all together and happy and like on a beach? U dont have anything set to autowrite, right?
- “No, it could be- didnt you have those glitch things?”
- Ka: yea but thats not smth they do usually. It was talking abt u and mom, and things abt us. Talking abt us watching tv when that hasnt happened
- “Maybe they used old entries to create a new one?”
- Ka: why would it do that? Idk might be nothing
- “Its a glitch monster.”
- I: im thinking abt the handwriting changes in the middle tho. Like someone trying to learn how to write as you
- Ka: which a could be copying ur handwriting
- We look at the journal, its got no new entries since she left. Theyre gone
- Ka: i looked everyday, it was here
- “Maybe it stabilized the content?”
- Ko: it could happen, but not likely. But could happen.
- Ka: i was trying to look for u, we ran into an infobroker
- “Met an info broker?”
- Ka: trying to find into. He brokered some info
- “Arent they super exclusive?”
- Ka: didnt seem so? I asked abt u, the guy seemed to know who u were and that what uve been up to was expensive to know
- “Doesnt make sense. Maybe he just wanted to get as much money out of you.”
- “Idk how the info brokers work. I couldnt possibly figure out how that info’s so expensive.”
- Ka: i just wanna make sure ur notgetting caught up in
- (a lot of answers shes giving are technically true and possible answers. This is what an experienced spy would say. Have nothing that we could pin on them with, at least in the matter with how she mentions these things.)
- Put our nervousness on Onmagakar snapping ithax’s neck and his son being relevant
- She doesnt react to his name/son
- She leaves
- Gravesend walks thru the wall and wants to talk to konbini
- “Would u consider yourself a smart person?”
- Ko: yeah i would
- “We can make ourselves intelligent gamers. We can require an IQ test to join the test”
- Ko: how’d we make sure theyre smart enough
- “I can curse a computer, if u fail it itll evaporate ur soul”
- Ko: office room with a computer?
- “No i think we hide the computers around the community.”
- Ko: thats fun. U have some good ideas pizza man
- “Thank you cecilia.”
- Ko: i can get on board, do we just curse computers
- “I think by the end of the week i need u to curse 5 computers”
- Ko: idk how to do that. I can hack real good? I can put a logic bomb in one
- “Do you know how to damn a soul?”
- Ko: no sir! I cant say that i do
- (u need a living sacrifice over the pc tower)
- Ko: kill someone over a computer?
- “Kinda we need to do a binding circle over the motherboard”
- Ko: can i learn that or. Idk. also the scarring
- Hell figure out how to get a tome going for her
- Konbini checks to see if theres any computers she can take over in the building for protection
- There’s deep in the files, direct contact line for security system. Unlikely to go thru, but we can try
- Send to automated system, ask for building, whats the emergency / request
- We have a safe haven for coming apocalypse or that we’re abt to make a big sale
- Say we have a safe haven, we’re gonna charge entry (we’re not)
- Talk to a human!
- “Tartrok! How may i help you?”
- K: tech support for suimin, we need some automatic turrets sent over, we’ve confirmed this is a safe area from the scarring, we think we can turn a profit if we charge entry
- “Would u say its highly raidable?”
- K: yes
- “Could i know who i’m speaking to?”
- K: [random name off payroll]
- “Well Demerity your voice sounds oddly high, are you feeling alright?”
- K: ive been thinking of a gender change, doing voice training. How do you think?
- “Sounds lovely. What kind of package do you want? We could have any that annihilates anything within 300 meter radius without an id.”
- K: othjers?
- “Standard security, any full force could get thru, but itd slaughter the front lines.”
- K: standard sir
- “Understood! And how will you be paying for this?”
- K: send an invoice to xyz email
- Goes to hack a card
- “We dont take credit, need payment in full upfront. Only 200k credits.”
- She finds an account, of general savings for repair for the complex.
- “Understood, if this bounces back, the turrets will turn against u. Are you sure u want to use this method?”
- K: of course
- “Well thank you very much. Armin Armaments are happy to work with you. We’ll get the contractor in.”
- Others go to Vossk Irontether around the same time
- Tell him to lower the shutters at midnight
- “May we all survive this one.”
- Knock at the desk
- “Son Vamo, here from Armin Armaments.”
- “Now my lord has seen it fit that you have the best in security.”
- “Monsieur Armin.”
- “Anything i could assist u with, any particular concerns in security”
- First 10 floors did get wiped
- “Is the first 10 prone to raiding?”
- Yeah
- “Could i recommend our cry for help modules there then?”
- They hack the comms of allies
- We tell abt the door thats fucked up, theyll fix it and reinforce it
- “Do you need anti air cannons?”
- “I wouldve gone with the 300 meter package, razed the entire area around here, but ur the customer and the customer is correct. For this, if you want to be passive, teh call for help package for first 3 floors, thatd get all those with a kind heart.”
- “If i could, id recommend a full 360 system. Middle of that courtyard, theyre accessible by heavy machinery, id recommend a missle system. Bee swarm?”
- Discuss it, we do a more passive system
- I: we run into a surprising number of magic users
- “We have some detect magic, if u want we can install some small plates that would let you know when magic is cast near it.”
- I: any cybersecurity, like turrets getting hacked?
- “At armin armaments we have a backend that wont get hacked, u only need to give us a call.”
- Sixlux Stars in Water doesnt move/wake up when kaspar enters
- Side of the building is a beautiful woman, thin and not so bodacious as the other art. Kinda slim and humble, undeniably beautiful. Not pornagraphically hentai proportions
- P accurate anatomy
- To the haunted military base
- Ithax identified route, least haunted route
- Contains backup supplies for machinery
- Big door we go thru takes 20 mins to open, as is standard for expensive replacement gear. Not meant to be accessed quickly.
- Very few ppl in the base tried to use the 20min door to escape, but it connects to the center of the base
- The center is where the haunting will begin
- Security robots want identification
- A ghost fucks up the party
- We call up pizzalich to come help us
- He wants us to kill an atlas group member, between 2 of his picks
- He shows up, guards us
- Send out our warning signal
- Next week the scarring will begin
