8/28, afternoon | cw for HORRIFIC VIOLENT TORTURE in the comments

[subtract]

[network | un: e.grenore]

Can anyone here erase or alter memories? Need an answer ASAP.

Don't bother me with tedious questions.

[like that isn't something suspicious to post to the network... but it's probably nothing.]

[meanwhile in the music room... | semi-open]

The music room is being commandeered today—for the past couple hours the door has been "locked", or at least blocked shut from the inside, with One Direction music blasting from what sounds like a boombox. Dito can also be spotted hanging around the door, spear in hand, like a bouncer to the world's shittiest nightclub.

Every now and then it almost sounds like someone might be screaming in there, beneath the melodious sounds of hit pop idols Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomilson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik... but surely that's just your imagination. Nothing strange is going on in the music room today. Don't worry about it. It's totally fine. No war crimes in here!

((content warnings: extreme violence/torture, gore, disembowelment, teeth horror, emeto, we're k-wording a teenage girl... like, nothing good is happening here. specific things may be warned in the subject lines but don't come in here expecting a good time.

anyone is welcome to notice the weird activity/approach the door, but we can't exactly have half the game individually trying to kick the door down SO. please hit one of us up by PM/discord if your character would try to investigate any further than that! we don't bite i promise our characters are just insane))

Can whoever’s on the second floor turn their music down.

[ Just totally ignoring Add.

I know it’s summer break but this is a shared space. We can hear you on the first floor.

[subtract]

Denied.

We'll be done here soon anyway. Deal with it until then.

[samuraiwomen]

Rude.

Do you take requests at least? So much pop music…can you play some Ryōichirō Yoshida??

[subtract]

We're working with what we have available. [which is 1D. and nothing else.] Don't be so picky.

What's Ryōichirō Yoshida sound like?

1/2

[samuraiwomen]

This isn't being picky, this is having a diverse selection availible! Be responsible!

Besides this is a Japanese band from the 90's! The library must have a CD or two. [ Give me this ori ]

2/2

[samuraiwomen]

And well.

He started a modern rock band with his brother that incorporated the Tsugaru-jamisen traditional aspects of japanese music. Tsugaru-jamisen is the most recognizable form of shamisen music but most critics agree that these two incorperated a lot of bold new aspects from western music like electric guitars or synthisizers. They're a very diverse and popular group, which is still making music even today!

[subtract]

[yeah he stopped reading after the first half of that]

You can put your own music on later. Bring your own CDs and I'll allow it. [like he is somehow in charge of the music room now]

Electronic music made with synthesizers and other technology... that part sounds interesting. I don't mind pop music, but this isn't to my tastes. Female singers sound better.

[samuraiwomen]

If it isn't to your taste then why have you been playing it on repeat...
...do you think female singers are cuter? >:3

[ Nerd. ]

I mean, I could just run you some now.

[subtract]

Komaeda picked this one. Physical appearances of human females don't particularly matter to me.

Fine. I suppose a change of background noise wouldn't be so bad... You can slide it under the door. [doesn't really wanna let her in rn for, reasons,

yknow]

[samuraiwomen]

So he has disgusting taste in everything...

Even if you think that, you should tell girls they're cute! Otherwise you'll never get a girlfriend!

[ Assume at some point in the next hour Sara drops a bunch of old traditional Japanese music and classic rock CD's she got in the library off with best door guard Dito, not seeming to notice any screaming because honest to god she doesn't need this bs right now. She's met her insane quota for the month ]

[subtract]

I can't say I disagree.

[once she leaves the CDs Add will, in fact, swap out the music until they're done in there because wow is he sick of 1D. sorry Komaeda but he never wants to listen to 1D again for the rest of his life. everyone gets classic rock now.]

Ugh. Pass. Relationships are a waste of time... science and machines are all I need.

[samuraiwomen]

[ Wow he agrees? Add my buddy my new favorite guy ]

Aw. Won’t that get a bit lonely? Though maybe machines can talk in their own way?

[subtract]

Vocalization can be easily simulated by mechanical process. Of course machines can talk. Advanced machines can do anything humans can, but better.

[samuraiwomen]

I know. I met a lot of AI's back home. I don't know how advanced they'd be compared to your world but they all seemed like regular people to me.

A future of robots...who knew I'd actually get to see it. I wish I had a cool advanced robot friend to help out right now.

[ With Turing and Legion are gone...how can she find a robot hottie :') ]

[subtract]

["I wish I had a cool advanced robot friend" congratulations Sara you just jumped straight to the top of Add's "people worth talking to" list]

We call them Nasods in my world. Advanced machines that hold supreme knowledge, physical prowess and can even simulate human emotions and behaviour. Truly the peak of human achievement. I've been privileged enough to meet the Nasod Queen herself, the ultimate Nasod doll that can think and adapt to any situation... kukuku, no one else could be worthy of my attention. Not even 3rd generation Nasods can compare to such a flawlessly cut gem. Even raw and uncut she'd be more dazzling than any other.

[....... he might have a crush on the robot. shut up.]

[samuraiwomen]

Oh, so in both our worlds people call robots 'dolls', huh? Isn't that kind of mean?

[ She's pretty sure it was meant to be dehumanizing in her world, just like "Dummies" was...but perhaps for Add there was a different context. ]

Sooooo...would you say nice things about the Nasod queen? Maybe she'd say something nice back? Like, I like your adaptability! Lets go to a café and get specialty drinks!!

[subtract]

Why would it be mean? She's a perfect doll, superior to anything that could be achieved through natural methods. Humans can't even hope to compare to someone like her. [... she does absolutely hate it when he calls her that, though.]

Kukuku... Of course I'd always tell her of her superiority. But I can't say she's ever said something nice back. Well, it doesn't matter. The fact that she'd overlook my undeniable genius only proves that she's the ultimate Nasod.

[samuraiwomen]

Oh well, maybe she'd want to be called the same thing as everyone else? I don't think anyone likes hearing they're different. It might get hard.

[ Finally, a chance to give someone totally unwarranted relationship advice over the internet! ]

Maybe she hears that she's perfect all the time... or she's shy! If you don't want to get overlooked, I think you should shake it up a little.

Have you called her cute...?

[subtract]

[c...cute..........

is Eve cute??? she's not... not cute, but... just imagining anyone saying that to her...

... no, if it was someone like Aisha or Rena she wouldn't mind. but Add... no, definitely not, there's no way he'd even survive that encounter.]

She'd skewer me from twelve different angles and leave my body to rot.





Not that I'd call her [c.......] that. My interest is purely scientific.

[samuraiwomen]

Ah...is she kind of-

What it called?

Tsundere?

[ Purely scientific, well thats clearly a lie, so shes ignoring it! ]

Girls like that enjoy being called cute the most! You should fight on!

[subtract]

Tsundere? [help]

Pass. That's... not an exaggeration. Not that it would be enough to kill me. [but it's a high price to pay for calling her... c-cute.]

It doesn't matter anyway. We're no longer on speaking terms, so there would be no opportunity for me to speak with her.

[samuraiwomen]

Tsundere is someone who acts really tough on the outside but is soft on the inside. They usually like to beat up the people they like in shojo manga!

Hm...Could Grenore-san be a bit tsundere...?

[ She's really invested in Add's imaginary love life now. ]

Did something happen?

[subtract]

Don't call me that. [uh] Either of those things. My name is Add, nothing else.

What do you care? Mind your own business.

[samuraiwomen]

Add-san, there's nothing wrong with being a tsundere! It's really popular in the manga I read!

Well I'm kind of invested now...I helped set up my best friend with a classmate back home, so...if you want advice, please come to me!

[subtract]

I'm not a tsundere or whatever. Stop making weird assumptions.

Pass. I wasn't asking for advice in the first place... and you're misunderstanding the situation. Ceasing contact was my decision.
