Eh? How so? Everyone else I talked to has loved theirs so far! What's wrong with it?

[technocool]

[ it should be noted she's in a sad blanket burrito. but futabs shuffles to the side to show him the inside. it looks exactly like a normal teenager's room even if it's been given a super luxe bed upgrade. there's a half open closet with issues of shounen jump piled high, blackout curtains with glow in the dark stars and

a highly realistic wallpaper of a tech cave. ]

[dms]

[ huh. he'll step in, then, but stick a little close to futaba in case she needs, like, comfort by proximity or something. ]

It must have figured that you'd like this aesthetic since you're a hacker and all, huh? It is pretty interesting! Like that one movie from forever ago.

[ the matrix!

but he's not focusing on that for long, turning his attention to futaba instead. ]

But it freaks you out?

[technocool]

[ pfffts ]

More like it makes me mad...! They didn't even leave me a single wire!

[ THIS TROLLING ]

[dms]

[ when she said it was a night he assumed it was disturbing somehow? this makes him laugh. ]

Maybe there'll be some wires once the place starts opening up? But if it makes you feel better, though, you're not the only one who got tricked. The paints in my room are totally fake!

[technocool]

[ it's a nightmare to her!!! ]

Rude!! How could they get our hopes and dreams up like this and totally fail to deliver?!

[dms]

Right?! It's sooooo disappointing! What are we supposed to do if our skills start getting rusty?!

[ waaaaaaah ]

But maybe we'll get lucky and new rooms with the stuff we want will show up later.

[technocool]

Maybe whenever the npcs show up we can make sad eyes until we get something useful!

[ SHE'LL EVEN TAKE A KIDS RASPBERRY PI KIT ]

[dms]

Do you think that'll work? The residents from the prism didn't really fall for that kind of thing.

[technocool]

Eeeeeeeeh. [ wags her head back and forth ] Sol and Lune were able to procure parts besides pointing us towards places we could go looking. I dunno where we'd find a cave of scraps in a hotel but maybe they'll have something similar!!

[dms]

Those were your hosts?

Maybe not a cave, but a supply closet? It seems pretty low-tech here, though. Could you scrape something together with the kind of stuff they have here?

[technocool]

Yeah! Lune-jiji seems totally put out that he can't summon tea anymore. [ mweheheh's at that ]

I haven't even seen a spray bottle though..! [ HOW LOW TECH DO WE GOTTA GO? ] At this rate the most advanced thing I can do is make invisible ink with a fresh lemon!

[dms]

Dang, that does sound pretty cool! I'd be disappointed to lose that, too.

Okay, but like - that'd be totes fun, right? Leaving around secret messages to see if anyone picks up on it?

[technocool]

It's fine, he has people who are willing to do so. [ tsuru ]

But I'd totally cover the walls in code for someone to find. Imagine flashing black light on the wall and it's just lorem ipsum written in hieroglyphs!!


[ mwehehehee's at the idea ]

[dms]

[ fuck he's laughing ]

Oh, I'd totes be down for that! I don't think they'd ever notice, but it'd be sooooo funny if they did. And I bet I could rattle off the whole first paragraph from memory.

[technocool]

[ that sure is a growing mwehehehhe- ]

Right.......! It'll be super fun and our little secret. Maybe we can add things to it as the weeks go.

[dms]

We totes should! Oh, maybe we could make it like a scavenger hunt, with hints on where to look for the next thing?!

[technocool]

[ mod-chans say it won't last if we use the outside walls. tch ]

Oh, oh! Like in various rooms? Clues to lead to other rooms to lead to a prize at the end!

[dms]

That's exactly what I was thinking! So, like, maybe it starts in the lobby, then goes to the restaurant, and then... who knows? The hotel's bound to open more as time goes on, right?

[technocool]

Yeah!!! We could hide the key somewhere like....... the brochures! Or out by the courtyard.
