TEXT | sender: [ unknown ]

[ around noon on friday, all tablet screens go dark at the same time, no matter what characters are doing. then, after a moment, the following text appears: ]
UPDATES INSTALLING.................
INITIALIZING.................
RESTARTING NOW.

[ as promised, screens return to normal. however, a new message appears on the network for all to see ]

SECURITY ACCESS UPDATED

[ all tablet maps are updated to include several different location pins. users will notice that there are more pins than the number of terminals, and that they don't seem to be terribly specific about exact locations. users will also note that the pins sometimes seem to fade and flicker, as if they might disappear... ]


Security clearances acquired.
Access granted.
Terminals online and accessible.

System failure is imminent. Due to perpetual lack of upkeep, I am unable to maintain systems at optimal levels.
Chosen of Expiation, I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you.
Save yourselves.

See, that's what I always try to say.

But even though I say that, everyone just ignores it! They think I just don't know what I'm talking about, and that I need to just force myself and that it'll be fun then. But it never ends up being fun!

I mean, if we're all about to maybe die anyway, I might as well say that it just makes me feel dumb and miserable whenever I get forced.

Yeah see
That's what I don't want
I'm never gonna force anything out of you
Why would I wanna make you miserable
That said I do like a lot of stuff mostly movies so if you wanna just hang out we can do that

[ ... ]

Movies don't sound so bad, I guess.

[ She has to sound reluctant about this, okay! Ange can't ever sound like she likes being social!! ]

But I guess we'll have to see this entire thing through first before we can really think about movies.

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-12-17 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's
That makes sense actually
So I'll see you later?
entreats: (and i gotta get to rock bottom)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-12-23 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[ At first it seems like that message is all that arrives.

But a moment later - as if with a hesitant pause in between - another one arrives. ]


Stay safe.

[ Do you now understand why she will be so pissed off when you're suddenly gone on the other side of this, Peter—— ]
