MAC ANU ~ GANYMEDE'S MCMANSION



The everpresent afternoon sunset hangs, echoing picturesque across the glass windows apparent at each spot within the large building. In a large room full of tables and what not are heaps of various cuisine settled here or there. Seafood, pastas, drinks, the like; Mediterranean style so if nobody likes that...gomen.

Ganymede has made it clear that he prefers people to be here in order to get themselves together. Sorted, somehow. They're all acting with a sort of independence he seems disinterested in disturbing, but he wants the prospect of potential solutions to be floated along.

If someone has new information they can share, well, it is encouraged. If not, he hopes that they will at least participate in some way.

It now begins.

 

(( OOC Note: People will not be attacked by monsters once within the McMansion, including pool area. ))

...do you mind telling us how long you have been speaking to Lily? Why do they think they're our salvation and why do you believe in them?

[Yes, this is a public call out]

[tablescraps]

( POINTEDLY GAZING AT BARRETT )

[gluttoning]

I don't know who told you that. It's not what I think.

[He doesn't answer the rest.]

[insinning]

Lily told me.

[gluttoning]

[He exhales slowly.]

I think he's been trying his best to get us out of here from the start, if that's what you mean by salvation.

[insinning]

... that's not how it sounded to me when he spoke to me. It was... unsettling.

So, he actually wants to help us?

[gluttoning]

Mn.

[Another slow exhale.]

He had a lot of worries about what might happen to us. And he tried to show us the only ways he knew how.

[insinning]

The mirrors? The whispers? The armor? Those all hurt.

[Pause]

...was he responsible for the dungeons becoming strange?

[gluttoning]

[He doesn't respond to the first part.]

...Strange?

[tot]

[ why are you like this sinclair... ]

I haven't been in communication with Lily for too long, but I don't think they're using the word like you might think they are.

[ not quite gestures to what misteakes is saying but also a bit. ]

[gluttoning]

[Just nodding slightly off to the side when he hears that, though he won't interrupt her.]

[tot]

[ thank you friend. ]

[threatmewted]

Then how do you think they're using it?

[tot]

Just something more personal, I suppose. Salvation from being manipulated, from being used...

[ she isn't going to wax poetic more than this. ]

I don't believe that Lily wishes any of us harm; he wouldn't have given us cores to defend ourselves if that were the case.

[threatmewted]

I mean, that's all well and good? But they do say the road to hell is paved in good intentions for a reason.

And to be honest? If it's an AI, definitions might be a legit important thing to figure out.

[tot]

[ oh uta's familiar with that saying for sure. ]

And if they're an AI then it also means we can teach them. ...if there's anything to worry about.

[threatmewted]

Yeah, well, someone better get on that then.

[tot]

I'm sure it's a work in progress.

It's not as though you should expect results right away if they're being fed lots of different kind of information.

[insinning]

What do you mean?

[ For real how many people ]

[tot]

[ .... ]

Well, how are you interrupting what he means when he says "salvation"?

[insinning]

...he told me that "All of those pains were inflicted upon you by CyberConnect Corporation, but this world can be taken from their hands and shaped into something greater."...That he will "lead us to salvation."

[Considering Sinclair's history]

I can't help but interpret that as something concerning.

[tot]

[ wow way to not sound sus lily. ]

I can understand why; people who have said things like that in the past haven't been exactly trustworthy people.

[ gazes at the general history of the world. ]

However, I think he just means to empower us so that we can help—save—ourselves. We've become trapped here and they've treated us so poorly, right?

[insinning]

[IT WAS SO CREEPY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND]

How will he do that? And if he was...why did Zelkova stop me from speaking to him?

/2

[tot]

[ i'm sorry for your experience sinclair. ]

By taking matters into our own hands, starting with the Data Drains.

[tot]

Wait, he did?

[ hello..?? ]

Did he give you a reason?
