(@appri-dot) You Actually Do Have Hands! And Horns, And That Cool Tail With All Those Settings... This

Yes, I am here to give hugs!

“Oh! Well I can’t exactly turn that down, now can I?” Even still, she hesitates, looking at your form for a moment “I... It’s hard to tell what’s an eye and what’s not with you. Uh... where can I hug that won’t poke you in one of them?”

(@appri-dot ) Oh, unfortunately it looks like they've already gone elsewhere, but you do get your hand back!

Though it's possible you'd meet up with Raspberry again at some point, since they did look like they were somehow involved in you… showing up here.

Though you can't see where they've gone immidiately, you'd likely be able to follow their path if you wanted, or you could go back and investigate that weird rumbling sound, the choice is yours!

The rumor come out: does trick uwu

"I have nowe idea what you'we tawking awbout!"

... 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.

My name...you can call me 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.

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!

(@appri-dot ) The narrator points out that raspberries aren't usually blue... but why not!

Raspberry holds that defensive pose for awhile longer before they sloooowly open an eye and just squint at you. They're visibly confused now.

"Hello??? I... do you want something? Are you still there? What..." They ask, not seeming to understand why you were acting kinda aggressively a second earlier before going back to passive.

Warily, the small blue thing waves it's hand in the air, as if trying to see if your eyes'll track it. "Can you... speak?"

According to what you can feel, yes, you actually can! This body has a voice and everything if you choose to use it.

Hope obliges with a whisper, and Trick nods in response, passing you the card.

"Interesting... here, I'd say that's more than worth this one! don't worry I'll be a lot more tight lipped with the last bit. Actually..."

She snaps her fingers again and the face of the card glows for a moment.

"The card has seven uses now, for being a good sport, n' also cause I like you."

"Oh! right, almost forgot, is there anything else you'd be interested in?"

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?
