POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG

Who: All the living players
What: Reunion party
When: Post-game
Where: ?
Warnings: none for now


[ It has been several months since the incident. Recovering from your body being in disuse for around two months must have been hefty, as well as your other commitments as well. Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
- A very convenient location nearby you with access to a small, private plane. For security purposes, you'll be told to list your in-game name, real name, and class before boarding.

- The bank card contains $10,000 as some sort of "compensation" for everything that happened because of the Fragment incident. He knows it can't replace everything (like lost lives), but he hopes this will help some people (because some people live paycheck to paycheck and he understands that). Access will be revoked in a month, so you better withdraw it all while you still can. Any unused funds will be returned. The bank will not question you withdrawing all the money from that account nor exchanging it all with foreign currency. (But-- no buts)

- The servers have been located and he knows how much you guys want to destroy these, so the server bash (literally) will happen some time during the party.

Being rich has its benefits, surely. When the plane lands with their luggage and all (if you brought any. please bring some), they'll be taken to a house that doesn't seem like much, but once they walk inside, it is actually very big! There are numerous rooms inside the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of with some dude(?) preparing all the food (he's the chef. don't worry about him). There is sure to be loads of different kinds of food that can cater to everyone's tastes. Yes, there is alcohol. Get some free rich ass liquor. No, you cannot smuggle any. That dude(?) will be keeping tabs. Sometimes there's a maid or two(? or is that the same one) running around and cleaning up after everyone. If you want something, go get it yourself. Self-service only.

There's a walkway in the backyard that's also wheelchair-accessible that leads to the beach! Enjoy that too.

But for the main attraction, the server burning.

That's fine. The floor wouldn't be a problem, either.

[ He's definitely fallen asleep there before. And on his desk. Perks(?) of living alone and having no one to judge him, previously. ]

And I have nothing but time, at the moment. I can work on your game as well in America as anywhere else.

[ Sinclair's, and Oria's, that is. ]
insinning: (smile; a happier time)

[Sinclair would offer Michel his bed but Michel is tall and his bed is most certainly not. ]

Oh--you're working on it?

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-06 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Only in the early stages. When it's farther along, I need you to test a battle for me. Oria wanted something difficult.

[ Michel refuses to make a game that Oria will make smug "like it's hard?" faces about. He wants to make him curse. Possibly throw a controller. ]
insinning: (smile; gentle in the sun)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-06 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Ah, that sounds like him.

[Sinclair does want to see Oria struggle a little with a game too]

I can do that.
userunfriendly: (124)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-07 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah. Michel won't let himself go too far along this diabolical excitement. ]

...I'm putting in difficulty settings as well, in your build. And the focus should be exploration.

[ He doesn't know if Sinclair likes the super hard boss battles, too. But he's not punishing him with them. ]
insinning: (smile; a happier look)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-07 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Sinclair brightens] Then, you should include puzzles too. Ones based off books.

[If he's allowed to make requests]
userunfriendly: (126)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-07 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sinclair is the only one who's allowed. And technically Oria, but, still. ]

Won't those be too easy for you?
insinning: (smile; a happier time)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-07 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you can work out some challenging ones.

[ He has full Faith]
userunfriendly: (14)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-08 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. If I find some from something you haven't read...

[ This is the equivalent of the frame-perfect battles for Oria, probably.

...But it's nice to think of trading books like this, too. ]
insinning: (smile; go with the flow)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-08 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
There's plenty I haven't read you know...

[There are too many books and not enough time. Weep]
userunfriendly: (30)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-08 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you certain? [ Doubt. ] ...Probably not many that I've read that you haven't, though.
insinning: (smile; well it might be ok)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-08 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. I'm sure there are plenty of French novelists I haven't discovered yet. Besides...I think the fun of it is finding references to stories we know and love anyway.

[ That's your big hint Michel]

[ Oh, thank god. Hints are very welcome. Even he gets that one. ]

Hm... I see what you mean. I have a few ideas.

[ And maybe he'll find out he's better at making puzzles than he thought. He'll see. ]
insinning: (smile; well it might be ok)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-09 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to it.

[ Sinclair is full of faith, even though he's finally played Michel's games and nearly died from them]
userunfriendly: (140)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-17 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Look.. at least it wasn't actual death, unlike certain other game maker's choices. ]

...This might be the first game I've wanted to hear player feedback on. Maybe I should think about a change of career.
insinning: (smile; just a little shy)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It can't be helped if other people have a hard time getting it.

[ Sinclair a little ruthless? Just your imagination]
userunfriendly: (14)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-17 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sinclair, being ruthless... Michel blinks in surprise, a tiny chortle escaping him. ]

That sounds like the sort of sentiment Oria would agree with.

[ And Michel, honestly, having made the games that way. So that's why he did so well with the two of them... ]
insinning: (smile; well it might be ok)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, maybe he's influenced me.

[ Well, no, Sinclair has pretty high standards for stories to begin with and he likes to find the heart in things]
userunfriendly: (109)

[personal profile] userunfriendly 2023-12-17 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that what it is...

[ Michel suspects it's more that they were compatible because of that similarity. But that's neither here nor there. ]

Then at least I'm likely to make a game both of you will like.
insinning: (blush;  a little embarrassed)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-12-17 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. I believe you can definitely do it.

[He has faith!! And pls, he totally does not have a ruthless streak]
