WEEK FIVE

Come Sunday morning, the portals around Estelline fade away, but not all of the oddities hanging around disappear so quickly. The recreations of your dreams and memories are still around, ever changing and shifting. Whatever it is that brought these things here hasn’t ended, not yet.

You don’t have time to worry about all of that, though, even if you know you should exercise caution once two of you found yourselves on the bad end of a monster’s claws. The course still isn’t over, though, even if the portals changed lesson plans. Everything continues on, with new places to explore as the fog pushes back once again. This week still feels a little more like what you’re familiar with, though, after Saturday’s lack of lessons.

...For now.

'Ours' in as much as we can consider the forced student body here as a unified group.

He seems to be from Camelia.

[ignihidden]

oh
sux to b him
MAJORLY

[imitationsoul]

He is presumably not high enough in the chain of command to be actually responsible for all this, but that is his personal problem as of right now.

[ignihidden]

oh yea final bosses never just walk into a place like this unless its an unwinnable setpiece fight

but you dont feel bad for the mooks u smash on the way 2 the final boss


NEways u want NEthing 2 drink?
im on my way down

[imitationsoul]

Sure! Pick for me, I trust your expertise in soft-drinks more than mine.

[ And like, if the flavor kills her, then that is worth it too. ]

They really got pretty bold to send us a real life person this time.

[ignihidden]

[kyaa, kyaa, he successfully asked a girl something like a normal person and she replied! he's definitely having a moment in front of the freezer cabinet in the dorm-convenience store]

[oh right and a guy's being restrained and questioned]

i kno rite?
was he even doing somethin like that a robot couldnt?

[imitationsoul]

Nope.

He was running a survey. Seems like Lorelei and Florence have not actually been in touch with their superiors so they send him to see what is going on.

Which indicates that they do not have a large amount of AIs like Florence to do their bidding - Florence did speculate that Lorelei created them, so that makes sense.

[ignihidden]

if just any1 could make a human-level functioning AI that would just majorly decrease their cool factor

&i say that as someone who could lol

but like a survey???
just post a QR code!!

[imitationsoul]

Seems like the fog is also blocking their network connection, doesn't it?

Lorelei's got us in her little snow globe without outside supervision.

[ignihidden]

ok so
their tech cant go in
their employee might have gone rogue
and then send in
ONE GUY??
WITH A CLIPBOARD???

like i have seen horror movies with smarter corporations!!!!!!!!

[imitationsoul]

Maybe all that self control they keep enforcing on themselves has made them forget more natural reactions?

Though given what they put us through on Saturdays, that seems unlikely.
