Are you having fun, dears? I'll answer questions about the game we're playing, but only that. Anything else and I won't answer you. And, of course, I might not answer all your game questions, either. Mystery is fun, too!

What's the weakness of that monster with the blue mask! I need to know!

voice;

[animusnpcs]

It's no fun if I just tell you.

[voice]

[awfulsentimetal]

Yeah, I got a question for you. [Uh-oh. Full cowboy. Someone's unhappy.] Why are you doin' this to us? what's the point of settin' a buncha monsters on folks?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

It's fun! Games are fun! I won't let everyone else ruining things stop me from playing.

What kind of youkai plays games like this?

[animusnpcs]

I'm not a youkai, so I don't know.

[funnystory]

What kind of game is it?

text;

[animusnpcs]

A monster game.

[ Maya usually doesn't talk to the administrators, but there's something she's curious about. It's odd, and definitely, definitely eerie. ]

Why do the monsters have masks?

text;

[animusnpcs]

Because you all like masquerade parties.

[neverbeamemory]

How can we play the game if we don't know the rules? Monsters are hardly a new thing.

You gave us a little more to work with last time.

[animusnpcs]

Every night, people transform into monsters. You have to stop them. There are special rules, though.

Ruana.

[Lancer's voice sounds half angry, half broken. He had liked her somewhat once. Which was why everything she had done the last few months seemed like such a betrayal to him. And he hated traitors.]

You're no longer howling like a dog giving birth. So what's this talk going around about a new type of monster? Part of your game or not?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Part of my game! The black monsters with masks are the game.

text

[mysterical]

And just how long o you expect this little game of yours to continue, Ruana? Until you get bored?

text

[animusnpcs]

Just until my turn is up.

voice;

[fonlines]

A game without a way to win isn't much of one, but I don't believe you've been very forthcoming about the rules so far. I'm sorry to say I haven't a very good idea of the 'game' you want us to play. What is it you wish us to do? Are we simply to survive, night after night?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Kill the monsters, of course!

[ambassadorasshat]

This game is stupid. Why do we have to play it?

text;

[forhislegacy]

Yeah, what he said! This is stupid!

...was it your fault Tokunaga turned on me?! Just you wait! I'll get you back for that!

But, seriously? Two nights in a row? Not cool, lady! Tell your attack dogs to take a break before I get really angry!

[great_king_of_evil]

What is the point of that game?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Fun.

voice;

[yougotthatwrong]

They were humans, weren't they?

[...Patterns. And not to mention deaths during her events as well as his notes led him to this conclusion; It's not that hard when you take a break after being killed to realize that there must be a catch to those monsters.

...he's just shooting blanks at this point, but even the far-fetched theory could be true in this tower.

Still, he doesn't expect her to just answer it simply like that.]

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Some of them! Not everyone here is human. They're normal during the day.

video;

[seekinganswers]

Aww, how cute! You're too afraid to take us on directly, so you're trying to turn us all against each other.

So, tell us, Ruana. What's the catch? "Kill the monsters" seems a little too straightforward for you. Or are you just running out of ideas?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Kill them during the day when they're not monsters. Just make sure you do it properly.

[caliginous]

ONLY FIVE PLAYERS THIS TIME?
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE PLAYING FAVOR8S.

MAYBE I'LL PLAY IF YOU GIVE SOME HINTS.

text;

[animusnpcs]

It only starts out with five. I'm sure more will hurry along soon enough.

text

[warriorscribe]

You do realize you sound a lot like Jason did when everyone had swapped bodies, don't you? How is this different from one of his experiments?

text

[animusnpcs]

Because I'm not doing research or anything, it's all just for fun!

[floreatnoctem]

I'm tired of you, so why won't you just die already?

[animusnpcs]

That's not part of this game.

text;

[wegotlucky]

This is sick. These are people's lives you're playing with!

text;

[animusnpcs]

No one dies for real here.

voice;

[attheclocktower]

[Well. She supposes it was maybe worth it to check what all the fuss at the terminals was about. Reading through all the threads she can see makes a tide of anger rise in her. But she forces it down, compacting it into a small knot in her stomach]

You said to me once that we gave you guys new experiences. Like [she swallows, pain mixing with the anger] like Reno and Elena's wedding. And that that was fun for you. Is that what this game is about now? Or is it [because of what we did] something else?

[She would have thought it was what they'd done with the chips, breaking the glamour and doing whatever they'd done to the Tower. But it wasn't so simple clearly.]

voice;

[animusnpcs]

A little of both. But that's not really about the game.

[Video]

[sacred_flamer]

These are people you're turning into monsters!?

[It seriously makes him sick; the fact that she, that all of them, could so easily manipulate their fake bodies and the souls contained within. He pounded a fist against the terminal, trying not to completely lose it.]

What the hell is the point of these stupid games? You're just going to 'win' them anyway!

voice;

[animusnpcs]

I like watching all of you play.

text

[prayed]

I still haven't heard the most important part yet.

What's the reward for winning? It can't be something stupid like just getting to stay alive, 'cause nobody here really dies anyway.

text

[animusnpcs]

Usually we make you all something from home, don't we?

Video

[clumsyjesus]

Ruana, what would it take for you to stop?

voice;

[animusnpcs]

Stop the game? You'd have to win it.

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[And- Yeah he's mad]

Wha-wha-what's the bi-big idea, huh?! There's ki-kids here! An' me! An' my brother! An' a bu-bu-bunch of other people! KNOCK IT OFF! It ain't fu-funny!

If I ge-ge-ge-get my ha-hands on whoever's in cha-charge here I gonna ma-make 'em wish they ain't never seen me before!

You go-got some kinda n-nerve messin' wi-wi-with us!

voice;

[animusnpcs]

It's just a game.

[idkworldruler]

Question, will they taste good with a slice of lemon and some pepper?

[animusnpcs]

Probably not, but I won't stop you from trying.

[sonof_thrain]

I refuse to take part in any sick game you may have in store for us. Your last escapade was twisted and I would very much like to end your miserable life. [Angry dwarf here.]
