Why do you think I would be a good caretaker tho?
Trick palmed a card from thin air, which turned out to be a display when it expanded and shifted in her paws. The video on the screen was a sped up fragment of the time you’d gone exploring the underwater area of Appri’s world. “Well for one you know how to handle yourself without resorting to murder, two you know how to deal with kids, and three you can shapeshift and adapt to more chaotic scenarios that could possibly come up, honestly it’s hard to predict exactly what could happen with younger anons.”
🔆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.
Just in case(and curiousity) see project S
<Ngh... these files are incredibly corrupted, and they definitely weren't written by Trick, I'll fish one that's actually readable out for you>
Description: A blacksite designated to the assignment and maintenance of the "Sleepwalker" taskforce.
Or at least it would've been if we still had any [expletive deleted] subjects. I guess you could just call us a bloody collection service since all we've been doing is chasing our assets since they broke out.
God, what a mess.

<He doesn't sound very happy. For some reason this makes us feel [happy]>
As you immidiately book it, it takes a few seconds before you run directly into something and fall over.
I mean, at least you can see what's around you right now. It's some weird sorta metallic looking hallway with lights on the ceiling... Oh! And some blue looking figure that's currently sprawled out on the ground where you just ran full force into them and knocked them over.
"Ow..." The figure murmurs into the metal floor, still dizzy.
Nebbie..? Sounds a little like "nubby"!
Agreed, it is amusing is it not?
[At least we believe this feeling to be amusement?]
Though such a name was technically based on "nebula" at first. We... get the impression that you believe Trick to be much older than she actually is, youth from her culture often have endearing names until they mature.
By reading through various logs, we have discovered she finds this quite [embarrassing].

<Attempting proverb...>
"The more, the merrier."
<Our understanding of proverbs is still null, but supposedly others can comprehend what we cannot>
Haha, should I be worried?
<Candidate Detected>
Name: Nobody
[wait is nobody a name? We must have this wrong-]
Composition: 90% star, 10% assorted exotic material.
Entity Type: Character
<Though it was previously unconsidered that stars could be sentient, their core soul still matches what we need>
<Welcome, User: -placeholder- >
Answer: Likely, cores one through five are distorting, the tarots are getting restless, and our caretaker is still trapped in the ROOM of another world. We were not programmed to deal with a situation this complex, but we shall try our best in her absence.
Request: Your name, calling you "nobody" is likely rude.
(Hey trick, off question but can you tell me the actual language name of the "Dorito Language" is because I want to decode stuff that Appri sent so I can do it for others)
Trick seems to be in the process of frantically decoding yet another set of triangles, though she looks up at you and quickly answers. “It’s actually just called “Dorito Font’, a quick search for that’ll get you the key, but trust me, it’s hard to read, all the letters look the same...”
(@appri-dot) Strawberry is scandalized, they pout overdramatically, but can't help but grin at your trick. "That's cheating! You can't jus-"
The critter was cut off rather rudely by the entire hallway shaking, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound that caused them to quite nearly fall over, clutching your arm for support.
"T-that doesn't sound good-"
"No, in all seriousness send me asks. Sitting in this starry void is boring."
🔆A deal you say? Hrm... I am weary at making deals since the last one caused me to... Erm, if rather not dwell upon my past, but if this can help me... I will subject myself upon your conditions. So, tell me, what is it?🔆
"Hm... for you? I'd trade you this for a secret. Not too personal of course, I pass my dealed information around, but just something most people don't know about you." Trick explains, twirling the card through her paws in a series of skilled turns.
((For the purposes of this actually just being a secret message you can send it to me through DM's if you'd like, then nobody else knows!))
