Do you happen to know of the Mystery Box, a box that is a literal lottery of weapons-?
"No, and everything about that sounds like a bad idea, especially when you all are the ones suggesting it."
"Nope! Not interested or curious whatsoever."
A long pause, and then, to nobody's suprise, her curiosity gets the best of her.
"Okay maybe just one try-"
Heya, How are you there? Appri is doing Appri things again.
Trick looks fairly disturbed at something when you appear but quickly snaps into her usual upbeat tendancies as soon as she noticed you.
"Oh! I'm doing fine, and... yeah, if by 'Appri things' you mean trying to interrogate me."
My name...you can call me Eluy!
<User: -Placeholder-'s name has been changed to Eluy >
Understood, remember the command prompt we mentioned earlier? It unfortunately contains a dreaded
"click to verify you are not a robot"
Security measure, most devious. We have yet to crack such a secure lock such as clicking a textbox with random patterns.
Synthesizing hands has been considered unviable, but you all have hands, correct? You could be capable of bypassing such a difficult security measure.
Then manual didn't come? I'll have someone ship it to you, but yeah! Also, sorry about your head! I can get you a new shelf if the one you smashed your head on broke.
“Eh, it’s fine, I... get hit quite a lot, you get used to it. Plus I’ve been gluing my stuff to the shelf ever since someone tried to rob me, so everything’s fine!”
Hey Trick! You're valid!!
"Wha? I didn't even do anyth- um, thank you?"
She's visibly confused.
(@appri-dot ) I mean… okay? I guess you can try making a pose with the exoskeleton, and you do! It's quite flexible actually, well oiled, and slightly warm to the touch, which is weird because most of the stuff around here is dusty and old.
Upon further inspection, despite being a “server room”, most of the servers here are off, all of them actually, except one. Also the huge screen isn’t broken, it’s just not on either.
Also, even weirder, there’s a couple of mattresses that look like they once belonged to hospital beds before someone tucked them away in a corner of this room. There’s all sorts of stuff on the floor, like someone had been staying here for awhile, but they clearly were not here now. Also one of the server racks looks like it’s been knocked over to block where you assumed the door was, so I don’t think you’re getting out that way easily.
You’re free to interact with this place how you wish!

🔆I-.... Yes. Yes I am.... But I can't do it now... It's too early. There needs to be a lot of time that passes before I can do something so daring... And even with all my planning, things can still go.. Awry. This really just depends upon one thing: how nice the Mun is. If they see what I'm trying to do here, then.. let's hope they won't stop me.🔆
“I see...” Trick tosses a coin between her paws, considering. If she did help you this would be a major risk to herself, and possibly tick off the mun to a universe she actually rather enjoyed visiting. But... “You seem to think I can just give you abilities, but I can’t, I just trade in spells, Hope. Luckily for you, one of those is teleporation, but you’re dealing with a mun here, and I wrote a very specific clause to operate this forward in the askverse.” “All of my cards can be denied by a mun if they wish. If the mun doesn’t want you to enter, the card’ll literally burn up in your hand, and there’s nothing I can do about that, so I don’t think breaking and entering is an option.” “I... do want to help your counterpart, but you’d somehow have to contact the @appri-dot mun, i’m not even sure how you’d pull that off. I mean unless they literally appeared in this room, how am I supposed to make a deal with a godlike third party?”
To say she looked uncomfortable at the moment would be an understatement. You get the feeling Trick would’ve tried to get the other hope out of that place on her own if she could.
Ooooooo!!! Hehehe >:)
Hypothesis: The alias "Trick" was chosen due to sounding more formal and causing her to sound more daunting due to her occupation.
After all, "Nebbie" doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of enemies, now does it?
The rumor come out: does trick uwu
"I have nowe idea what you'we tawking awbout!"
What wasn't supposed to be there?
<We may be incorrect, but we do not recall having a facility named "Project S">
<Ugh. Why do I know that name?>
<This is most irregular>
A mischievous anon that tends to poke into places it probably shouldn't. Creator / bestower of Trick!Cards, and fully interactable!
