Don't bother the techs. Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

Look, we're totally in an AI right guys? This is like a simulation and we're just computer things and none of this stuff is real and they're probably gonna start messing with our code or something to make us go crazy. It's cliche movie plot #59!

...I was hoping for aliens, but I guess sci-fi killer AIs and robots are cool.

We gotta fight the system!

Someone reprogram me to have super strength super speed super teleportation and super disintegrating eye beams.

[odasaku]

Maybe if you ask the hackers?

[thebeastwithout]

yeah that's what i'm doing right now duh
hackers!!!
do it i'm gonna be in my room waiting for those sweet powers to come

aaaaany minute now

[penalizing]

i'm not in a simulation or a computer!!!!!
i pinched myself just to make sure
i'm totally a real person!!!

but if we can be reprogrammed, i wouldn't say no to finally getting those superpowers i wanted...

[thebeastwithout]

that's just what they want you to think!! they totally installed a 'pinch' program into your brain just for this

and yeah superpowers for everyone!!! you get a power you get a power and everyone gets to pick what they want

i want everything

[maidofmistakes]

Super strength isn't that great. You know how all the girls are talking about one of our gym lockers having the door torn off...?

[thebeastwithout]

uhh
the girls don't really tell me much about their locker rooms but i think i saw some janitors complaining about something a while back





that was you??

[heroofdreams]

Yea! Like the Matrix Vortex, right? Can I be Orpheus? No, wait, I want to be Eon! He's the cool one!

[thebeastwithout]

no!!
if anyone gets to be eon it's me
i figured out what was going on first that makes me ~the one~

you can be one a those guys that gets killed at the end of the first movie

[spiritoso]

I refuse to believe that this could be a simulation! Everything going on is already freaky enough!

Super speed would be cool though.

[thebeastwithout]

see

if we hack this thing enough everyone can get superpowers if they want

wait you'd go with super speed though? that's your number one?

[surprising]

do you mean like the superpowers we had in august?
not all of them at once, but i miss those

[thebeastwithout]

i actually wasn't here for that
but if you got superpowers then that means it's totally possible to hack this place and give 'em out to everyone

let's do it!!!

[deathboss]

Okay okay bear with me on this but what if we ARE the system. And the hackers are what is making this not right.

[thebeastwithout]

[a long pause]

yeah!!!!





actually i dunno what you just said

[1620]

:oO
you’re a robot??

[thebeastwithout]

what
no

where did you get that from

i'm a superhero

[spirithacker]

you already have superpowers!!
its time for the the people who dont have powers to get eye beams

[thebeastwithout]

well i didn't say you can't have them too
i just want them first
i get first dibs cause i came up with the idea

[twostringsonebow]

Aliens are still a probability, in my opinion.
There's nothing this world can't offer us.
Anyway, I can't accept this being an AI purely on the basis of I don't want it to be.
It's cruel to give those that've lost their lives in a previous life a second chance, potential happiness, only to mark it down so trivially, just an experiment to run tests on or act as if we're sea monkeys on display.

[thebeastwithout]

we can't always get what we want
that's what my mom tells me when i ask her to double my allowance because i really need a new game system

but like
i dunno what better explanation do you have none of the ones i can think of are any better for us

[destiny_key]

tbh as much as everything does sound like a movie sometimes???
im not really sure thats whats going on here

but idk
at this point i wonder what else could even happen

[thebeastwithout]

ok so maybe i don't have any proof about my definitely true theory but!!!

we're definitely getting hacked and they can definitely do weird things to us that are totally sci-fi all the time

so it's like

almost the same kind of thing anyway right even if it's not exactly true

Hey Gar, mate, any chance you sniffed some funny grass earlier today?
Ya sound like there's a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

[ Don't mind him, he doesn't think Gar is 100% wrong, it's just the phrasing that's amusing him. ]

[thebeastwithout]

what

ok you can't say i had weed if you use the words 'kangaroos in the paddock' like five seconds later that doesn't work
