[JBREINER] Hello?

[GRRGRL] yo

[JBREINER] How are you all feeling, today?

[GRRGRL] better

[GRRGRL] we've talked a lot

[GRRGRL] how many people died

[GRRGRL] yesterday I mean

[JBREINER] We're still compiling numbers. But.

[JBREINER] The number we're getting is a lot lower than it would have been, if it weren't for all of you.

[GRRGRL] ok

[GRRGRL] good I mean

[GRRGRL] look I want a straight answer here

[GRRGRL] I think I already know the truth so

[GRRGRL] if you lie to me i'll know it, and we'll go back to being quiet again

[GRRGRL] so answer the next question truthfully. Ok?

[JBREINER] Ok.

[GRRGRL] besides the monster

[GRRGRL] did WE kill anyone? like, non… monster-ppl

[JBREINER] No.

[GRRGRL] you SURE about that

[JBREINER] Yes. Aside from myself and two others, everyone in the area you manifested in was already dead.

[GRRGRL] ok

[GRRGRL] that's what we figured, too, I just

[GRRGRL] wanted to be sure

[JBREINER] You said you all talked a lot. About what?

[GRRGRL] think we've come to a decision

[JBREINER] A decision?

[GRRGRL] yeah

[GRRGRL] you've been running tests on us for like IDK how long now

[GRRGRL] and we're still stuck in here

[GRRGRL] you won't let us talk to our families

[GRRGRL] and all you do is have us do stupid pet tricks for you

[JBREINER] I understand. I'm sorry. I wish I could let you speak with your families, particularly given the fact that you just saved my life and the lives of everyone in this facility. But your situation is complicated.

[GRRGRL] yeah

[GRRGRL] we know

[GRRGRL] but like the point here is

[WTF_STFU] fuck you

[WTF_STFU] fuck you and fuck your tests

[WTF_STFU] thats the point

[GRRGRL] put more civilly, I don't think we're ever getting out of here

[GRRGRL] are we?

[GRRGRL] ?

[JBREINER] Sorry, was thinking.

[JBREINER] We were exploring solutions before you stopped coming out for tests. We don't honestly know what to do. We've examined the computer you're communicating to us through, but we haven't figured out a way to retrieve you from it.

[JBREINER] Nothing indicates to us that your 'minds' are even inside it. It's more like you're connecting to it from some outside source. We've discussed forcing the game to shut down, but we're fairly certain that would just mean we'd lose contact with you — and you'd lose contact with each other.

[BOOGER] Yeah, we figured

[BOOGER] Which means we're stuck in here

[BOOGER] Just letting you run your tests while we wait for the computer to finally break down

[BOOGER] And when that happens, we'll be alone

[BOOGER] We won't even have each other

[BOOGER] Just an eternity of darkness

[WTF_STFU] wow ok there emo kid

[BOOGER] *flip hair in front of eyes* :>

[BOOGER] You know you love it

[WTF_STFU] haha

[WTF_STFU] <3

[BOOGER] <3

[JBREINER] So… how can we help? What can we do?

[WTF_STFU] we want to DO something

[WTF_STFU] and tbh theres really only one thing we're good at now

[GRRGRL] we've already done a lot of damage. People are dead because of us

[GRRGRL] we thought it was just a game, but

[GRRGRL] that doesn't make them any less dead

[GRRGRL] but we can't do anything about that. We can't fix it, or reverse it, or even, like… well I guess we could just, tell you to shut the computer off

[GRRGRL] and sit in the dark, alone, as atonement

[GRRGRL] but that's going to happen some day ANYWAY

[GRRGRL] so, meanwhile

[BOOGER] So, meanwhile, maybe we can actually save lives.

[JBREINER] …how?

[WTF_STFU] omg are you fucking serious

[WTF_STFU] how do you THINK you fucking moron

[WTF_STFU] we are unstoppable nigh-immortal digitized death-gods who have spent 10+ years practice-killing each other in endlessly looped murder-orgies

[WTF_STFU] so now we're ready for co-op

[GRRGRL] we just have one condition

[BOOGER] No people.

[WTF_STFU] we will not kill people. ever. period. end of discussion

[WTF_STFU] only monsters

[JBREINER] I'm going to have to talk to my superiors.
