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.]

[ connor nods, sitting up. ]

Yes, I ...took a nap.

[ he says it like it's very foreign. it is. ]

[donotlick]

It's nice, huh? Sleep is pretty fucking great.

[ Hank grins. Connor's getting to try so many new things!! He's happy for him. ]

You taking it easy after yesterday? Your little "class" was pretty busy, huh?

[preconstruction]

[ connor hums noncommittally. he's still waking up, he hasn't made a decision on it yet. ]

Yeah, it had a good turnout.

[donotlick]

Still busy though, huh?

[ Hank pulls out the little "wanted" posted Connor made. They're pretty charming. ]

Whoever said you guys couldn't get creative didn't know shit.

[preconstruction]

Good busy.

[ but he smiles when hank pulls out one of his posters. ah yes. ]

Do you like it?

[donotlick]

It's fucking great.

[ Hank chuckles. Of course he loves them, I made them!! He better!!! ]

You really captured his evil essence.

[preconstruction]

People need to know what they're up against.

[donotlick]

I mean, that's fair. If he showed up here, we'd all be in some pretty deep shit.

[preconstruction]

I don't think that's an if so much as a when after what happened with the seance.

[ thats literally on the poster ]

[donotlick]

Yeah, I know the seance was him. I mean if he showed up. Like. Physically or digitally, or however.

He may have fucked with our connection, but it wasn't a full-scale attack.

[preconstruction]

It may happen. But I would be more worried that he'll exploit han's death for himself.

[donotlick]

Right. The people on the other side don't know who to look out for. It's too bad we can't send 'em a picture ourselves.

[preconstruction]

Maybe we could figure out how to.

[donotlick]

Yeah. We sent messages through the sim room, so... if we could get on their network, we could probably get into their computers, right?

[ Hank can't hack, but this sounds about right?? ]

[preconstruction]

As long as we're connected to them, we should be able to. I don't know how easy it'll be now that I'm no longer friends with Vivienne.

[donotlick]

[ Hank nods. He isn't going to disagree on the Vivienne department, they're on the same page here. ]

We can ask her AIs though, right? Eve's a little freaky, but maybe that Lucien kid knows a thing or two. [ He pauses. ] Plus, I mean. Vivienne claims to love all the students. Hopefully if we say it's for everybody, she won't play keepaway with the tech.

[preconstruction]

[ connor looks uncomfortable. ]

I'd rather someone else did that.

[donotlick]

Yeah, that's fair.

[ Hank pats his shoulder. ]

It's all good, Connor. You can figure it out. You're way more advanced than these kids anyway.

[preconstruction]

I'm starting to think that isn't necessarily the case.

[donotlick]

You think so? How come?

[preconstruction]

They're much older than me.

[donotlick]

So, what? Age never stopped you back home.

[ Four months is plenty of time! ]

[preconstruction]

But Lucian has been her pet project for literal years. It's like that girl Kamski has.

[donotlick]

Chloe, you mean? I dunno, she didn't seem more advanced than you.

[ Connor will always be the most advanced in his eyes!! ]

[preconstruction]

It didn't seem that way to me, either, but it's hard to say.
