🔆I-.... Yes. Yes I Am.... But I Can't Do It Now... It's Too Early. There Needs To Be A Lot Of Time

*throws beans at you* UwO -ASA

Trick just looks down at them for a moment. Then back at Ace Shades Anon. Your intimidation tactic seems to be working, she knows exactly how this joke started.

"Oh god oh f*ck the bean anons found me-"

(@appri-dot ) These vents are weirdly large, enough for you to move comfortably. The trail of disturbed dust continues for a pretty long distance. Its like a maze in here, if you weren't following Raspberry it'd probably be real easy to get lost.

From the glimpses you can catch from a bunch of the vent grates you pass, the metal hallways and rooms are really, really extensive, this place must be massive! There's tech and beds and all sorts of weird things that you can see briefly, but eventually, you reach another vent whose cover has been popped off.

Inside this room is a really large monitor lit up blue, and a complex computer setup, clearly highly sophisticated if you're judging by the number of wires hooked into it.

With a hand on it's keyboard, there's a metallic shell, kinda like an endoskeleton that's just… frozen in that position like it had been powered off.

The trail ends here, so where was Raspberry?

Appri-Caught (RP thread)

🔆I understand completely... All I want to do is see them again.. Knowing that they're in a little.. Space.. Alone.. It must hurt.. They've been like that for ages now, but.. that's me. That's my future. My future, his present.. I did give him a little plush version of myself so he can chat with... But if we ever tried bringing HØPË out of the ROOM, they'd die immediately after leaving.. As the Mun has told us. I should really talk to them about this, but I already think the answer is clear.🔆

Trick nodded, but she wasn’t so quick to just give up, there was plausibly another way to do this… she’d only done it a few times, but maybe they’d get lucky here. “Muns can be an elusive bunch, but I've dealt with a few before, they work by claiming domains of blogspace. If that mun doesn’t intend to have HØPË ever appear again… you could ask them to transfer that specific bit of domain to you. Then you’d be able to freely enter his part of the ROOM on your own blogspace since it essentially becomes… yours.” “Honestly the territory and character rules around muns is confusing, but if anyone can work with that, I bet you can! Plus HØPË kinda… is you, so the mun might be inclined to give them to you if they’re not planning anything else.” She traced the table, and looked around the room as if looking for something that wasn’t there. “Sorry I can’t do more, muns are sorta out of my league. I’d set up a meeting but I can’t really… ask, or force a mun to show up, they just… do sometimes.”

... I thought she was like sixteen...

Incorrect, she is much older. However her species matures significantly slower than most.

To provide a basis for comparison, we shall divide by the average maturity rate of an anon

<Calculating...>

Within your lifespan she would be considered about 12. Of course this is merely comparison, hence the more logical behavior and advanced linguistic choices despite her semi childlike mentality.

Of course she also was forced to take on a more adult role due to the events in her childhood but that is an entirely different set of information.

*Slowly get out of hiding place* I am here to say hello.

“Hm? Who said that oH STARLIGHT WHAT THE-”

She jumps about three feet in the air, and nearly knocks over an entire flatscreen display on the wall behind her in the process. Seems your asterisk‘s lack of description means your hiding spot was under the couch she was sitting on.

“Bloody hell, you nearly gave me a heart attack... yes, hello. You... actually, haven’t I seen you before? You were running around the boat in Appri’s sector awhile back, right?”

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.

We express our thanks, your help should prove invaluable. Especially within the latest problem we have only just now discovered.

Ignore that.

,,,,creamy coffee

Trick snaps and the coffee cup literally just poofs into existence in front of you, along with a cloud of glitter. Somehow it's still warm despite being pulled from thin air.

"Don't worry the glitter's edible too." She reassures you.

Honest mistake, my friend. Since you are busy, I'll introduce myself later. I do have other business to attend to.

“Alright then, good luck! Wherever you’re off to and whomever you are.”

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].
