I've got a question.

Hadn't given it much thought before.

Has anyone ever beaten that game the terminals come with? The one where that thing is after you and you have to collect items? I've gotten up to seven, but no further than that.

[What he doesn't mention, however, is how unnerving the game gets after a while. Then again with everything he's seen it doesn't bother him as much as it used to.]

I'm still trying.

[ Urotsuki actually likes playing that game! Since unsettling stuff like that actually isn't.. all that unsettling to her.. so she can play it with really little problems. Besides, it reminds her of the videogames she had back home. ]

It's sort of hard the further in you get.

[He nods.]

It is, isn't it? I wonder who made it.

I'd expect it to be more... pink if Ruana made it.

[chainsawn]

.. If she made it, I don't want to play anymore. [ There's nothing worse than Urotsuki's grudge against the woman, really.. ]

Maybe the tower itself made it. Or someone who's more fun.

[wegotlucky]

[Neal can't blame her in the least.]

Pretty sure she didn't make it, but I've been wrong before.

It could be left over from what the tower was like before, I guess.

[chainsawn]

You can send them notes, right..? If you can do that, then maybe I should send them a note and ask if Ruana made it so I can stop playing it then.

.. Even though I wanted a high score.. [ Having convictions is hard and no one understands. ]

What game are you referring to?

[wegotlucky]

[And he switches to voice too because he's not going to flail around at someone's voice, nope.]

You know, the one on the terminals. There's a few different icons, it's the one that has a spooky name.

Not the drawing program, that thing is terrible anyway.

[trulybecomedust]

Ah, I see. I haven't really had much of a chance to investigate this quite yet, but I'll have to look at it in the near future.

I will definitely keep that in mind.

[He's not flailing or anything in response because he's not quite sure this isn't some sort of trick of Pan's like another hallucination to throw him through a loop.]

voice

[wegotlucky]

It could always be worse. The game could kill you if you fail.

[Wait a minute...]

Papa?

You've... you've come back!

[trulybecomedust]

Yes, that would be worse.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Bae, is that really you?

[And not a hallucination.]

[no_longer_a_king]

I cannot get past six myself. I always wind up distracted somehow.

[Thinking something is behind her, paranoia kicking in and she looks to find nothing there. Then she turns back to the game to find her character has been caught by that thing.]

[wegotlucky]

Yeah I've... ended up being distracted too.

Feels like the game gets too real, but I've never actually had anything happen over it.

[no_longer_a_king]

True.

I wonder.... would we not get distracted if we had someone there with us? [The game being too real and all. If someone was there to remind them nothing is chasing them off the screen, would they be able to get past their records?]

[wegotlucky]

...You know, we should try this. I wonder what would happen if someone were to finish it.

[no_longer_a_king]

[She literally has nothing better to do today, so....]

Hopefully the consequences won't be too disastrous. Then again, this is the Tower. I doubt they could get anymore disastrous than what we have already been through.

[slightlyoblivious]

I can hardly get past four or five before I get too freaked out to go further. That game is scary...

[wegotlucky]

I don't blame you.

Honestly I'm not sure myself why I keep playing it. I guess I want to find out what happens.

[slightlyoblivious]

I can't decide if I play it because I want to know what happens or I'm scared of what'll happen if I don't check every so often.

[wegotlucky]

At least for now it seems like that thing is just in the game.

[slightlyoblivious]

Don't jinx it. Ruana's month is next month, isn't it? Knowing her, she would take that thing out of the game and put it in the Tower just for kicks and giggles.

[taintedwhite]

This game is fun, right?

Shiro likes it a lot!

[She doesn't find it unsettling or scary. Admittedly it takes a lot to scare Shiro.]

[Video]

[wegotlucky]

It's pretty fun. I'd like it better if there wasn't a monster after you, though.

[Video]

[taintedwhite]

Oh?

...Shiro thought it was the funniest part!

[Video]

[wegotlucky]

Oh? I guess we have different tastes, then.

Too bad there aren't more games on the machines.

[Video]

[taintedwhite]

Shiro agrees: more games would be nice. Shiro gets bored in the tower sometimes. Especially since Ganta left again... [She sounds pretty sad about that but eventually decided not to dwell on it.]

What kind of games does Mister like?
