[ tch. ]

They're normally the person I'd go to for something like this. They seem pretty aware of what's going on around them. Although no clue how good they are with computers and encryption though.

[ that's the only downside. ]

[applebough]

Adrastea was the one who tried to get around the security lock back on our first week here.

[ aka the execution where io x wall was born ]

So I think they would have a very good shot at it.

[roseoftexas]

[ io x wall otp. ]

Ah. You're right. I'll run it past them then, if they can't do anything they can probably tell me who could. Because it seems like something important was going on there.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

I would make some guesses, but...

[ Hm. Yuri puts the IRIS away. ]

... I think I would need more information. Aside from that, do you think I should hide in the ventilation during future lockdowns? I don't think people full of anger would even think about searching there.

[roseoftexas]

We always need more information.

[ story of our lives.

i continue to be concerned by things. ]

Maybe? But if someone was awake with the urge to kill, they might keep hunting for someone else awake. It's hard to say if they'd just be furious or focused.

[applebough]

Then they should keep searching until the senior members wake up.

[ Yeah!! But she looks over at Shu and reaches out to pat his shoulder. ]

You'll be getting the information whenever you contact Adrastea.

[roseoftexas]

Make it hard for them, rather than easy. [ he thinks about it. ] Maybe having a few hiding spots isn't a bad idea.

[ keep them guessing, week after week. ]

True. That's one more part, at least.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

Do you think... we can vote for dead people?

[roseoftexas]

...

No. Probably not.

[ closes his eyes. ]

You could ask if you were curious, but-- I don't think this place would allow it.

[applebough]

... I'll ask on the next trial.

[ She doesn't think they can either with how cheat-like the trial would become, but... ]

[roseoftexas]

[ he nods. ]

We should know, either way. In case someone tries.

[applebough]

[ Yuri looks off into the distance, thinking. There's some time of silence between the two. ]

... Was the paintball game fun? I only watched from the sidelines with some of the senior members.

[roseoftexas]

[ hehe ]

I think so. I got the one that looked like me right in the face.

[ SATISFIED. ]

[applebough]

I saw. You looked really cool.

[ ................. ]

I also found out that was Scien, so thinking back on the actions of your pixelated self was kind of...

[ Yuri won't say it, but it was funny. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ he just grins. ]

Yeah. He complained about it to me personally.

[ zero regrets. ]

[applebough]

I'm glad you had fun.

[ Yuri laughs a little. ]

... It was nice to see you in action.

[roseoftexas]

Shooting?

[ he looks at his hand. ]

Yeah. It's been a while. Not a bad way to warm up and get back into it.

Was there any reason you didn't want to get invovled with it? Paint related pacifism?

[applebough]

Oh, um... no.

[ Yuri nervously laughs. ]

... I'm not a pacifist, but I was tired out by repeatedly attacking someone.

[roseoftexas]

[ ...


a grin slips on his face. ]

Who?

[applebough]

... Why are you smiling?

[ Shu??? Please. Anyway, Yuri gets out the IRIS again and goes back to that one creeper warning that Adrastea keeps putting up, letting Shu see the screen. It's Vlad. ]

This one.

[roseoftexas]

Because it's a fun image. You must've gone all in if you were too tired to paintball after that.

[ ohhhhhhh. ]

This guy. I hope you won.

[applebough]

... Yes. I beheaded him several times and used the spawn timer to my advantage so that he lost the bid. It was... very tiring.

[ virtual yuri: :knife: ]

[roseoftexas]

[ atta girl. ]

Good job. Adrastea'd probably buy you a drink for that. [ time not wasted, murdering vlad. ] And the longer he was caught up reviving, the less time he had to outbid us.

[applebough]

I think the most surreal part of it all was that I had that much money to spend in the first place... It was more than 400 million...

[ Nut Bolt wages are really no joke. ]

[roseoftexas]

... Another question, how did the guyhave all that money to blow on an auction in the first place?

[ WHAT DID HE DO FOR THAT SORT OF MONEY? ]

But we managed to get some good things with our Nut Bolt funded auction cash.
