yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

wendy.jpg?
there are a lot of things that sound really crazy right now! i believe like most of them since i saw some myself but it is frankly hard to imagine given how much of it should not be possible.
rescuing someone from a flower and being saved from a monster sounds on the low-end of crazy though.

[eyestitch]

she's taller. imagine that, but a real badass type with a sword!

it's true... our weird little story is just circling around the toilet bowl of the rabbit hole! did you hear about the giant robot panther lion tiger thing?

[windeity]

i never would have guessed that someone working in security would be taller than six inches. i am shocked. my shock cannot be conveyed enough through text.

talk about a shitty deal. but the giant robot panther lion tiger thing is definitely new. who the fuck brought one of those in?

[eyestitch]

i mean, like, don't joke. there was that thing where we all turned into mouse-sized morsels or w/e a while ago.

some of the people who vanished last month came back with it. it sounds like it was kind of what we went through with a bunch of quests and cryptic messages and possible death.

[Helpfully, she provides no context to explain who the "we" she's talking about is.]

[windeity]

...seriously? what is wrong with this city.

there is still way too much to actually understand everything that happened in the last month, robot panther not included. and just how much possible death did everybody face aside from the monsters?

[Nui all you're doing is intriguing him, stop.]

[eyestitch]

[Who's responsible for John getting his ass killed by walking up to a monster? This gal.]

i almost got disemboweled! and that was just one of them.

if that helps provide any info or whatever. i don't know how much more context you could need, my dude.

it looks like at least 1 of the ppl from each group is trying to gather information so...how social are u?

[windeity]

no that is a pretty big indicator, you have a point. context not necessary beyond that.
i like to think i am social enough? what does that have to do with information-gathering?

[eyestitch]

that's why i'm so glad that wendy saved me 💖💖💖 i could have been way less lucky! [And some people were, so...it's time to circumnavigate that subject for sure.]

well if you were a neet or something you probably wouldn't wanna do any investigating of your own. but this way you can just go talk to some people! stride right up and use that uncanny charm of yours!

[windeity]

this makes way more sense now.

i am VERY far from being a neet, so i think i will have to do that. thanks for the tip.

[Nui didn't do much, perhaps, but still. This is how John Egbert dies.]

but if you ever feel like sharing more about what happened, i am definitely all ears.

[eyestitch]

[RIP John.]

sure thing! i'm always happy to help an innocent newcomer! 😊

so let's take it slow, yeah, big guy? you're not my therapist or anything! you're all fragile and squishy on the inside.

[windeity]

i would probably not be a good therapist, but i'm not really fragile and squishy either!
but point taken. it is more for curiosity's sake than anything.

[eyestitch]

you're not? Does that mean you're some kind of cyborg-man? guy of steel? that's crazy! do you not get banged up? can i see your insides? 🙀



just kidding! i knew what you meant!

[windeity]

see i should PROBABLY find that question really creepy and somehow i cannot. if only because being a cyborg might be kind of sweet.
i'm john, btw. like. i know the network says so but it's weird not introducing myself.

[eyestitch]

you've got the right idea! it would be WAY more fun to dig around a cyborg's entrails, anyway!

john 💖 nice to meet you! as you can see, i'm nui!

[windeity]

if you ever find a cyborg (that's not me) whose entrails need digging around, text me.
but nice to meet you too, nui. i guess i will be seeing you around if we're both stuck on this thing.

[eyestitch]

and share the glory? no way! find your own guts, jeez. i can't do everything around here!

that's right! we'll be stuck together until further notice! don't disappear, now!
