[ 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: ]

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

[ 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.

lucky for me, i plan on making it big via the sellout celebrity lifestyle. don't need scholarships or school if i'm too busy being cute and charming on tv

nah, give me the deets on the levels anyway. should be prepared in case i'm ever headed there one day

kinda seems like we're all breaking down already. last week, i turned into a half spider half poodle monstrosity. im not gonna say it can't get any worse than that because i dare not tempt the irony gods, but like also...pretty damn gross.

hey, more power to you. i would've gone into sports so i can't judge

oh, well, uh. you start from limbo, and then from there it's lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. and then i'm pretty sure lucifer's below that or something.

wait, you what? jesus fuck. that sounds horrifying, no offense

oh yeah same. for sure. i'm super good at athletics and sports and other manly jock activities. i just can't risk any damage to the money maker. anyway no would have could have, reach for your dreams man.

fraud, really?? seems a lil tame compared to all the others. can you just party down in the lust and gluttony layers?

hey, i'd be more offended if you WEREN'T horrified by a poodle with eight legs and eight eyes shooting web out its butt. not to mention the smell.

right, sure you are. i actually did have a sports scholarship, i wasn't kidding. but cricket's not the most glamorous sport, so, you know

anyway, i'm pretty happy as a detective, now. besides, not like there's a cricket league for ghosts

and no, no you can't. trust me, you don't wanna know the details.

and speaking of details, i'm pretty sure i also don't wanna know more of the poodle spider chimera hybrid, jesus.
