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.]

EVENTO

[lockdownmods]

[Sometime during the afternoon, those inside the program may notice that near the robotics lab there is an unnatural window of space that's open, where code is running and being written, almost like you'd see straight on a computer screen. First naturally readable thing you'll pick up on are the words: CONNECTION ESTABLISHED.

If you don't notice that, though, you will notice that shortly after this starts the internet returns. You still can't access the "World Wide Web" but as of now, you can send messages to certain places, including the computer lab, the robotics lab and Oswald Hale's personal computer.]

Robotics Lab

[starswink]

[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED, huh? Well well well. First of all, let's stand here and analyze that code with his AI GLASSES so we can try to force it in later if needed. Is there anything of note before he gets started?]

[lockdownmods]

[You can see that someone's still working on it right now; there's code being written here and there. It's primarily re-establishing the internet and setting up security. Despite the fact that it's running on an independent connection there are still several firewalls and the like protecting them from anything on the outside.]

[starswink]

[Cool cool. What's this independent connection like? Any indication of where it's coming from?]

[lockdownmods]

[It's currently set up in the robotics laboratory. Which means chances are that it's Vivienne that set it up.]

[starswink]

[orrite, pretty much what he expected. He'll just study this until it's completed then, and once it's done he'll run off to the computer lab and open the connection.

This messenger system is pretty new, huh?

He'll set his username as Superman ★ and try to set up a chat.]

oswald's computer

[supportrole]

[ He's in.

Except first he needs to spend like an hour in Photoshop, hang on.

...

AND HE'S BACK, armed with a .png file that he is sending straight to his old pal Todd.

SUCK IT. ]

[Oooooohhhhh

Time to poke around with this gaping hole of data and see what kinds of trouble she can get into.

She only slightly knows what she's doing here. So what can go wrong?]

Computer Lab

[lovedanime]

[Mitarai puts a doorstop underneath the door of the computer lab. Then he takes a seat in the corner of the room furthest from the door. If you catch him while he's sitting there before noticing someone, he looks... mentally uncomfortable. Except when he's picking at the spiky ball of rice in the bento on the desk besides him, when he looks physically uncomfortable but mentally revitalized.

There is a beveled edge acrylic sign holder on the teacher's desk, containing a sheet of paper with some preppy rectangular geometric printing.]

Attention Everyone

The computers in this lab can now open chat rooms that connect to Fayflower in the living world.
Mitarai is monitoring computer notifications and dispatching Gogol as courier to inform affected parties.

You may direct any further inquiries on investigation results to the Phantom Guild Office.

[starswink]

[...So Yoosung may have been behind this in so far as he'd suggested someone staking out the computers for opened chats on the living side, and Mitarai wound up being that person to atone for his sins by suffering in the computer lab.

That idea to refer everything to the Guild was NOT something he asked him to do though, so he's blinking at that sign on his way out after bringing the culprit computer club some bentos on the job. Is this bad for their brand??? Or is it just a recognition of the Guild Efforts to be the primary source of proliferating this information and a thing that inevitably everyone should do???

...Whatever, this is Mishima's area of expertise. He can sort that out.]

Good work, guys.
