Check your terminal settings. Maybe we bumped the time warp button by accident, although I'm pretty sure we can't move?

Time warp! Yes. It must be.

You search for other forms of CHAT under the primary CHAT, but only find another equally confusing PRIVATELOG with cripesalmighty.

GOD IT'S PAINFUL NOT HAVING TIMESTAMPS.

This terminal is a hell.

Elsewhere, an Inhabitant types furiously at a terminal, on the verge of tears, fearing the absolute worst for a newly made friend.

You begin by swapping your USERNAME IN ORDERS MENU to "Zack".

You then proceed to navigate to the ORDERS MENU.

You are now back at your original home chatroom, the ORDERS MENU of the game currently running on your terminal. Your PAWNS and the opposing YELLOW TEAM PAWNS are currently screaming about your disappearance, but you're back now, with complete and utter control over your inputs.

INPUT AGGREGATOR: whatcha gonna do?

An Inhabitant stays silent on her chatroom, confused and utterly at a loss for words. What would she say? What could she possibly contribute?

You quickly check the file that YUPPERS (on Nicopter's terminal) sent, look-see-HERE.cig.

Then, your narrator notices that Lordlyhour has updated their post, and lets the INPUT AGGREGATOR continue posting!

An Inhabitant freaks the fuck out and struggles to type one-handed, which is a bad idea, considering her keyboard requires two inputs at once for almost every character.

You head to the MAIN MENU with the CHIRAL button, and (accidentally?) select the VIEWFINDER option.

Then, you back on out, and head into the terminal's CHAT, to confront the Big Man On Campus.
[Image: WD40Mjm.png]

You type your first message and then begin typing more-- but something strange happens. More messages seem to be being posted by Nicopter. Maybe the real one, instead of you?

Yeah yeah okay you are getting right the fuck out of that zone. That's one of the most foreboding messages you've seen all morning (though not THE most).

You're not certain there was really a point to commenting his text out there, but this terminal runs on bullshit and rainbows and at this point there might not be a point in thinking about it too hard.

>Chiral

You pull up the GAME MAP.
[Image: cmA8w70.png]

You quickly discover you can swap between three versions of the map. The first is a blank slate with nothing in it--
[Image: x4gfXWY.png]

The second is how everything is supposed to be, at game start, and shows who each room belongs to. You also spot a bunch of Ns.
[Image: d8s4ubY.png]

The third and final image seems to be the current state of the GAME, including many missing players, many missing Ns, and a caged-up door holding R13.
[Image: d9hl32F.png]

You spot Y4, cripesalmighty, though the numbers representing each of the 8 other people might be slightly harder to suss out.

RE: CHIRAL - Arcanuse - 11-04-2017

Its a safe guess the N's are needspensers.

Good, goo... Wait a minute.
13 Y, B, G, R. That's 52 players.
We need 53 to ascend.
Never mind that we have only the 9 to work with, there never was a 53rd player.
So even if the session was somehow reset, we would still come up short.

There's also finding that password.
Guessing finding that is going to involve some fiddling with the viewfinder.

Plus, getting the remaining players to calm down and... Do whatever it is we need them to do, is going to take a while. Never mind that we don't know what we need them to do yet.

...Oh, and I guess we kinda flubbed the whole "Be Discreet" part of our job. Oh well.

I guess that leaves the first thing to be figuring out is what we're gonna do next.
