WEEK 8
[When you wake up, there's a text message in all of your inboxes, warning about how stressful exams week can be. The email comes replete with names of study sessions, tutoring hours, and free pizza on other parts of the campus. And it encourages you to check online for the exam schedule based on your class and section number.
There's also a note that there will be weekly stress puppy pop ups to help you relax? So that's nice and thoughtful! But ultimately, at Fayflower, they just want to make sure everyone has what they need to do well on their exams.
What a nice email.
But things have obviously deteriorated around you, with the wall looking visibly... damaged? If you get close, it's extremely easy to lose track of yourself... and you might come away with a few bruises you didn't know you got. Who knows. Maybe Terra?
Happy final week.]

I'll pass everything you say here onto the others.
Tell Yuuki I liked his picture by the way.
Your boyfriend is very creative.
Congratulations by the way.
[He's aware of first name significance, and Yuuki is most certainly a Japanese first name.]
So that's why they make us wear them...
Speaking of which... how would one of us get there without dying?
Also, what do you mean by codes?
I'm willing to tell you everything I know.
Ask away.
Information is key this game we've found ourselves in.
no subject
was it that obvious?
that kinda makes me happy actually *^^*
the backup IS the code
everyone has them. they're the foundations for a powerful AI that perfectly saves us as we are
so since they upload us to this space with that... I thought why not just do it as is?
it's just a theory though. I'm also not sure where the computer is that our data is on.
I don't really know what to ask...
how are things over there right now?
did you all learn anything interesting since tess and gogol died?
if not I guess I can just tell you some stuff we know first.
no subject
If one pays attention, then yes.
The usage of a first name and how fondly you talked about him made the nature of your relationship clear very quickly.
I see...
This world's technology level is very advanced.
I'll be sure to spread the information to the others.
Perhaps we could locate where you are on that computer and port you to a hard drive before we make our escape.
We've been assigned our final exam.
We'll be given the opportunity to investigate the spy's secret lair.
Then we will have to name someone as the spy.
They will be put to death.
If we don't escape by then at least.
Other than that, nothing new has happened since Tess and Nikolai died.
I'd love to hear about what has been occurring on your side.
Oh.
Also what you mean by see our codes.
Elaboration on that would be wonderful.
no subject
well we were doing that before we became official (this week! >///<)
but I guess that means Gogol is who you meant when you said your boyfriend...
well
hang in there ;;
more backups can't hurt!
I think Vivi may plan to download us into android bodies eventually, but I'm not sure @@
I don't have any idea who the spy is, unfortunately. It must not have been one of us.
but I DO have a pretty good idea of who was controlling the android that killed Connor
We found out there is a lookalike of Prof. Han with a scar on his face
I guess he's "H"?... but we just call him Nah
apparently he's in the school somewhere. watch your backs.
seeing code and analyzing it is a thing that I can do now
there's an AI in charge of our side of the simulation and... she offered to give us knowledge directly
everyone else was like eww I don't want an AI messing around in my code~
but I figured at least one of us should take the offer
....it kind of made me
a little bit omniscient? ;;
I can analyze p much whatever I want from the ppl who are here now
it's like cheat codes ^^
since I'm the apprentice of gaming, I've decided to embrace being a program
no subject
Feel free to spread that bit of information.
He's embarrassed me plenty over here.
If he can finally get some payback over there, then good.
It's worth the admittedly valid judgement from the others.
I will look eagerly to the day you receive your new bodies then.
I'll be sure to spread the information about "H"/Nah.
We'll do our best to deal with Connor's killer.
Good for you on that initiative.
I'd do the same in your position.
There's no point in holding yourself back from potential information like that.
Who is this AI by the way?
Does she have a name?
dat info dump
There's also a bunch of other AI in here...
Lucian, Sola and Prier are their names. and Violet but she's just a little kid...
Lucian is the oldest one and he knows some things.
(if you meet him, get someone who can flirt with him, he gives the best information then ^^;)
(but I have a boyfriend now soooo ^^;;;; I don't want to make him jealous ;;;;;)
anyways he gave me this
[ALLOW ME TO COPY/PASTE THE CLUE.
To read it, this is honestly some of the dullest material yet.
exp.1.0.1 -- 02/06 -- greenlighted -- system failure -- code:209867 -- missing parameter x
exp.1.0.2 -- 02/19 -- greenlighted -- program failure -- code:2105 -- x-y+?? = ??
exp.1.1.1 -- 03/04 -- greenlighted -- connection failure -- code:9998 -- component m not found
exp.1.2.1 -- 04/20 -- greenlighted -- system overheated -- results inconclusive
exp.1.2.2 -- 05/12 -- greenlighted -- program failure -- code:3214 -- component y malfunction
exp.1.2.3 -- 05/23 -- greenlighted -- program failure -- code:2105 -- power loss
...
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.]
even with my analysis, I still haven't figured out what it means yet but I have a feeling I'm close
but, seems to have something to do with Fayflower in the past when James was still in school
what I did find out after bugging Lucian about it is....
The voices we heard in the entrance exam were from roughly the same time as well
We were communicating with people from the past somehow!!!
Whatever incident there was when Brynn, Yui, Arden & Kasumi were trapped there, it might be something to look into
if you can find some way to shut off the power generator indirectly, maybe you can talk to them again
directly cutting it probably won't work though since they got wise when we did it at the vacation home ;;
BUT I at least confirmed that u can do that without having to worry about shutting us off!!
we're running from a different power source ^^
no subject
Eve, Lucian, Sola, Prier, Violet.... I'll remember them.
I suppose we can ask Akira or Tsukasa if we need someone to flirt with Lucian.
You were communicating with the past by shutting off the power?
Okay.
That... is real now too.
Alright.
That's.... nice.
I have no idea how we will shut of the power indirectly, but it's good to know we won't have to worry about you.
no subject
you might be able to find those guys in the robotics lab
there's a secret door behind the bookcase where they live~
at least if it's the same on your side
the phantom guild discovered this. ^^ you're welcome.
no subject
It's admittedly not the most bizarre thing I've heard here.
Is your area the same as if not identical to ours then?
If it is, then perhaps we can let you know how to get to the spy's lair once we've been shown it.
The Phantom Guild has done good work.
Thank you.
Wait.
Is that a pun?
no subject
[that's all he says in response to the pun question...........]
it's the 'same' but it's just a copy lol
the stuff we do to it doesn't show up on ur side
that is
unless ur faculty office is repainted green and gold and has wanted posters of all the admins in it lololol
it's our HQ now~
we like to throw darts at the todd poster
hope he feels it every time in his stupid face
be sure to read the inverted letters in our calling card, this is yuuki's masterpiece
no subject
I can't believe you are calling yourselves a pun.
Why?
I wish it was like that.
I hope he feels it too.
Try and get a poster of Jim made as well.
He needs several darts to the face.
I'll be sure everyone does.
no subject
yuuki wanted us to be like the phantom thieves and protect the victims...
but most of them get along with everyone anyway so we haven't had to do much
....oh, you said Waver is your brother right? do you know anything we can do to cheer him up?
I don't know him that well so I haven't had a lot of ideas orz
but
t h a n k y o u for spreading the news about todd's card and the posters
which reminds me
did u know that there's 25 admins? ;;;;;
wait
we actually don't even know what Jim looks like
can u give us a photo?! ^^ then we can make his poster so he can feel our sting too
no subject
That's fair I suppose.
He is.
Praise him.
Validation always feels nice.
Also ask Alexander.
He'd be able to guide you.
Have he and Waver talked yet?
Or is Waver ignoring him?
Also I can't believe 25 people are going along with this farce.
Also he looks like this.
[Poe does a quick and not that good doodle of Jim in Microsoft paint and sends it.]
Should I print the card by the way?
I'm willing to spread the good word of The Phantom Guild.
no subject
if u want to!
I'd be just as happy if I got to talk to Kurusu and Terra and Max again sometime
I've... been hanging out with Mitarai some since I thought it's what Terra would want....
and he told me what arcade game Max likes ^^ I'm playing it too now. we should compare high scores
I miss u all a lot. if u find a way to enter the simulation without dying, or if we get our android bodies, I hope I can see everyone again
[He doesn't really believe there is any other way out of this, though.]
you all have to stay safe, ok?
I'm gonna protect everyone in the simulation with my analysis, but I hope no one else has to suffer too much
not sure about the spy but ;;;;;
now that we know it's a thing, I'll see if there's anything we can do to help out from here as well
no subject
I'm.... glad Mitarai has a friend.
I'm still mad at him for what he did to Waver... but he doesn't deserve to be completely shunned.
I'll let them all know about this.
Is there anyway to specifically contact people?
I'll pass on the method if there is one so that you can talk to them.
I know they'd be thrilled to be able to do so.
Thank you for the promise of your continued assistance.
It's good to know that we're still all in this fight together in a way.
no subject
but I make sure he's eating well at least
tbh things between us are a little complicated... ;;
but yeah. I'm being his friend. I think Yuuki is too, maybe? and of course there's Gogol
I think u can just start chats? not sure though
we can probably get someone to monitor the computers at all times
make sure any empty chat opening gets one of us to come in
if that doesn't work then I'll make sure as many people on our side know that they can login
And we are!!
You have our shield!!
no subject
It’s surprisingly adorable to see him act so paternal.
He calls him his little bird.
I’m happy that he gets to see Mitarai again at least.
I’d be worried if Nikolai didn’t have anyone over there.
So... hearing that Mitarai is being watched is a relief.
I trust you and your boyfriend to keep an eye on him.
I’m still mad at him for murdering Waver, but I also still consider him a friend on some level.
I don’t want him to suffer too much.
Just enough to regret his actions and try and better himself.
It’s never too late to try and be a better person.
I see.
I’ll spread the word about it then.
I wonder if this could be made into an application and put on our tablets... perhaps once we escape from here.
I don’t relish the idea of being cut off from contact with all of you immediately after getting back into contact with you again.
And you have our sword.
[Or Tsukasa’s at least.]
no subject
we're all pretty upset about tess
but idk if u need to be worried....
those two do tend to flock together, I guess that explains a bit
not sure if Mitarai is managing to atone or not
but he's definitely
trying ^^;;
the main thing he is being is scared of Waver tho lololol
do you have escape plans?
you don't have to tell me what if they are
but I definitely hope we can stay in touch
I studied the code for the connection while it was opening so
I think I can replicate it if need be!!
^^ thank you for your support like the fellowship
no subject
I see.
Well... I suppose that's the best I could have expected.
Vivi does.
I'm not aware of the specifics yet, but you could try asking her for more details.
That is excellent to hear.
Anytime.
