R1 DEADLAND PT2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[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.]

Jesus, she seriously made kids? Why?

[ Well, Hank is Super Creeped but he will try to shake her awake a little. ]

Hey, kid. Violet, right?

[supportrole]

[ christ you just jump right in ]

[donotlick]

[ he's the police yolo ]

[childrenofinvention]

[Oh-- oh! She giggles and smiles.]

Hello.

[She waves.]

That's me. Did you come to see me, Mister?

[donotlick]

[ Oh, jesus this is SUPER CREEPY........ PUT IT BACK.

jk I mean Hank is actually good with kids, even if they make him Upset. ]

Shit, uh. I guess? Who're you? What do you, uh... do here?

[childrenofinvention]

I'm the guard of the office!

[...]


...well. Not really. I just don't really have that many skills like the others. But I watch out for bad guys.

[donotlick]

[ Okay... yeah, that makes sense. Make the small child a guard?? ]

...How do you know who's bad?

[childrenofinvention]

Intuition!

[.....she's a child alright.]

[donotlick]

[ UhhhHHH that's SCARY? ]

O...kay. And what do you do to the "bad guys?" How do you keep this place safe?

[supportrole]

[ thank you for asking all the questions he's afraid to ask himself ]

[donotlick]

[ I'm glad we can all agree that strange girls in robot rooms are not a good basis for a form of government. Or that little girls deciding who lives or dies is SCARY. ]

[childrenofinvention]

Well... I just tell the others.

But I could probably take them!!

[SHE COULD NOT.]

But... Lucian's the one who usually deals with them. Or Prier.

[donotlick]

[ Yeah, she is a child after all... ]

Right, and what do they do? Should I be worried about getting deleted here or what?

[childrenofinvention]

Heehee. No, you're not one of the bad guys, silly.

But if it was a bad guy well-- they'd probably get rid of them. The only kind of people that can come here are just data.

[donotlick]

[ VERY CREEPY......... ]

So if fucking Evil Han tried to get in, you guys would just delete him?

[childrenofinvention]

[She gets really serious all of a sudden; a very honest angry look on her face.]

That's right. He's bad-- he's not welcome here. He hurt our friends.

[supportrole]

[ ...Waves back from next to/slightly behind Hank! ]

Hi.

[childrenofinvention]

Hello!

[Oh. Are they afraid she's going to tell on them?]

...you're friends, so it's okay.

[supportrole]

Oh! Good.

[ What would happen if she DIDN'T think they were friends, though... ]

It's nice to meet you, Violet.

[childrenofinvention]

[She giggles.]

It's nice to meet you too.

I wondered if you guys were ever gonna come here.

[supportrole]

Sorry if we made you wait. Uh, are you always in here, then?

[childrenofinvention]

I forgive you. It's okay.

[But she nods.]

Not "here" but-- here. In the real world.

[supportrole]

Thanks.

[ hmm ]

What do you mean?

[childrenofinvention]

We can upload our conscious here-- but we're still in the lab in the real school. But Vivienne... thought it was better if we didn't bother the other students.

She thought they might be afraid of us because of the ones that aren't like us.

[supportrole]

The ones that-- oh, like the ones that do the executions, you mean?

[ Should he be saying "executions" to a kid... ]

That seems kind of depressing, though. You guys are just stuck in a version of this lab all the time both here and in the real school?
