That would make sense.

[...]

There were buttons on the backs of their necks... they stopped moving when we pressed them. We had to go through the vents again to get out of that room, though, and luckily this time we didn't run into the creature inside of them.

We came out in a hallway with a door at the end. This one actually opened... it led into a room with a podium in it. We started hearing noises coming from the vents, though, so... we tried to hurry. We tried to shut the door, and it - shut on the creature, but it was still wriggling around.

...we were supposed to recalibrate... something... at the podium.

[ hmmmmmmm bad ]

It was wriggling...? Gross. What happened once you recalibrated it?

...it took us a little time - once our hands were on it, it just... it made us feel... tired. Really, really tired. And like it was an important decision that needed to be made, but maybe someone could handle it... maybe we could just go home...? ...but we chose to do it. We'd found notes with tasks that we needed to do at the start, and recalibrating it was one of them.

[she takes a breath]

But once we did it, we - started changing. It was very similar to what I experienced in the simulation room the other week, actually... and it all stopped, and we went back to normal.

By then, the creature had wriggled free of the door and came up to us, and it opened its beak, and - last time it did that, it attacked. So I kicked it in the face before it could.

[(looks at her missing leg)]

It bit your leg off?

[ THE LEG CAME WITH LATER SO LIKE

but that aside-- ]

The choice! You had it too.

It stabbed it with its tail - which was... sort of scorpion-like. It was still mostly attached when I lost consciousness [from the blood loss] so I'm not really sure what happened to it after that...

[...]

But - yes. We were made to make a choice.

It felt like we were being... punished, near the end, but I'm not sure if that was because of the choice we made, or because I kicked the creature.

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ hm. bad. bad!!!! ]

I've heard of people feeling punished for the choice they made, but... Why would not doing the tasks be better, in this case?

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. I really don't.
alteracion: (you said you'd change and)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
The other choices were... about being ruthless. [ that's all she'll delve into there, but: ] Did the paper say what would happen if you didn't do them?
shiftingwinds: (024)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
No... it didn't say.
alteracion: (is that what you want me to do)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Then... I don't know. If it was just about what you did, you'd be the only one to feel like you were being ...punished. That's what Molly said.
shiftingwinds: (116)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
...then it might have been because we chose to recalibrate it.
alteracion: (i have the stage)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
... Maybe. It's not foolproof, they're just... theories. I bounce them off of Greed and see what they think, for the most part.

[ :T ]
shiftingwinds: (003)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Greed's pretty smart, though. So if they think your theories makes sense, I'd say that's a good sign.
alteracion: (to make it in this world)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's more like their theory. I just collect the information.
shiftingwinds: (117)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well, whatever it is - if it works, it works.
alteracion: (and my fame)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know about working yet, but let's hope so. [ she sighs a little ] I'd say I'm glad you guys are okay, but...

[ aoi. ]
shiftingwinds: (116)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[aoi.]

...we should have been okay. We - we all came out of it. [...] Going after her when she was already injured like that was just low.
alteracion: (i have the stage)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Going after her at all was low. [ there was probably no easier target here, after all ]
shiftingwinds: (012)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[especially so this week, when she was so badly injured. ughhh, this is the worst.]
alteracion: (i have the stage)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-20 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... Hopefully we figure it out.
shiftingwinds: (011)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-20 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so. I really don't want to let this go unsolved.

[well, she doesn't want any of them to go unsolved, but especially this one.]
alteracion: (come at me at cloud nine)

[personal profile] alteracion 2021-03-21 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. But we'll figure it out. Everyone wants to.

[ or will they signs point to no ]
shiftingwinds: (Default)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-03-21 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[i mean they? kind of? will?]
