R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

What will take for you to share them with us?

[lockdownmods]

[If you want the physical copies, that'll take some time. But I can give you a summary.

It was just a whole bunch of files on experiments being held in one of the physics labs. You know, from back when our good pal Jimmy was just another nerd in a lab coat.

[preconstruction]

I don't think anything is "physical" here. Can't you just send them to me?

[ data transfer with him you know you want to. nevertheless: ]

It sounds like you did really good work. I wouldn't say you're bad at hacking, that being the case.

[starswink]

[You know, Yoosung has just been sitting here letting Connor do his thing because questioning suspicious characters is something he'd have a lot to learn about but encouraging people is more his wheelhouse, so he'll just chime in here.]

Yeah, if you got into something that important then who knows what else you can do?

[Like sending the files directly to Connor!!]

[lockdownmods]

[Well I wouldn't have to worry about Vee complaining now considering he's basically public enemy number one.

Listen. If I get another chance, I'll see what I can do.

Anyway, I can't just send them from here. But I should be able to get them for you soon enough. I just have to connect myself from the outside. Not all of my files are stored here.]

[starswink]

Really? [Wow this is easier than he thought.] Is there any way we can help you do that?

[lockdownmods]

[Don't worry, I've got this. But when I come back, I wouldn't say no to a thank you kiss. ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ]

[starswink]

Uhhh.

[WHAT IS HE GETTING INTO HERE.... He's flustered, but you know what. Yoosung can be really cute when he wants to be, and this guy seems fickle, so.]

We-Well, I do think you're pretty cute! Do you get here faster if there's kisses waiting?

[lockdownmods]

[Well now that it's plural, I can speed up the process special for you.]

[starswink]

[That was a slip of the tongue, but welp. AI sure are quick.]

Ah... caught red-handed...

[He's really in over his head here, isn't he? He should probably be careful... or maybe that's just him getting hot under the collar.]

It's just kissing, okay?

[childrenofinvention]

[The next thing you know there's a tap on your head that feels like--

Ah. Files.

And...]

You should have just told me you were that excited to meet me.

[He's here. In the uh... data? Well. Report get!]

1/2

[starswink]

[?

????!]

[starswink]

You... were just pretending you couldn't get here...

[God, that made his heart stop (and his face redder, of course.) Yoosung sighs sharply in an attempt to shake that off. He can't believe this!! (This is why he is Weakness: Gullible.)]

Thanks. I should give you my thanks? Bu-but we haven't been introduced yet even -

[He really thought he would have more time than this to mentally prepare]

[preconstruction]

[ thumbs up!!!!!! ]

[starswink]

[wow!!! he did a good job!!!!

this is still a lot to process but maybe he will feel proud later or something]

[childrenofinvention]

I just so happened to be working on it while we were talking.

[So maybe he just stretched the truth a little bit??]

I spend a lot of time in here, but not all of it.

[Right. Greetings.]

...Anyway. Lucian, at your service.

[preconstruction]

Thank you for sharing.

[ share with the rest of us tho ]

[childrenofinvention]

Knock yourself out. I never want to read anything like it ever again.

[To read it, this is honestly some of the dullest material yet.

There's a whole lot of this, recording what had to be hundreds of separate tests. The last one however, is unlike any of the others.

exp.96.42.73 -- 09/22 -- STOP

Yet there's another page attached with "exp.96.42.73" on it. And it has a lot of unclear mumbo jumbo on it but there's one word that stands out. SUCCESS.]

[starswink]

[Yoosung is pulling it together, but wow.]

Nice to meet you... I'm Yoosung Kim, and this is... everyone else!

[nailed it??]

[machrophage]

[WHAT THE FUCK WHERE DID HE COME FROM]

[supportrole]

[ oh ]

[starswink]

[do not worry friend!!! he will also be considerate of your eyes!!!]

[itwasfeyt]

You...! You appeared out of thin air!

[She's both shocked!! and impressed??]

A-are you some kind of ghost?!

[childrenofinvention]

Just consider it one of my special skills.

But you can call me that if it means you'll call me every day though, lovely lady.

[Ghost... spirit medium... get it??


He's a loser.]

[itwasfeyt]

...What?

[It's okay, buddy. She's the Coolest, so she can figure it out.]

Ohh, you mean because I'm a medium, right? Hehe, that's pretty good. Too bad I can't call you.

[Because she doesn't even know you?? get it?]
