Wildcard me! This will also be where I put open prompts, should I write any unrelated to the event. I might also add more top levels in the body! Hooray! Feel free to hit me on the plotting post, or on discord and plurk, both revelries.

I run Areas to understand the keyword system, and test unintended errors in the Root Town infrastructure.

( So, he'd be doing that. )

... There's something strange about Fragment. It doesn't really matter what it is, but the administrators are trying so hard to hide it.

( Streisand effected... )

[What are you, some kinda nerd??? Playing an MMO????]

The more they try to cover over things, the more obvious it is something isn’t right here.

[A beat.]

Though can we really be surprised by that! They’re connecting games to people’s’ consciousness. If there wasn’t something bizarre and sketchy going on here I’d be more surprised then if there was.

[Just saying.]

Mithrun's tone is that of a verbal shrug. That's fair enough. )

It's technology much more advanced than any competitors'. It's bound to be unstable. But the types of issues occurring are...

( Well. He could be jumping at shadows, sure. Ultimately, he doesn't have reason to throw himself wholly into this mystery, yet. )

Do you not spend your time in the game beta testing?

[He honestly just spends his time in the game fucking around and finding out, which is less beta testing and more testing people's patience.......]

I'm not interested in trying to break the code.

[But Mithrun does have a point, in a way, that there are things that are very suspicious.]

But I don't have to do that to feel there's something strange going on, if I'm getting titles from mysterious senders that aren't supposed to be implemented in the game at all yet.

Yes. It's strange that the administrators don't seem to know what's going on, but know to take exceptionally extreme measures. Hien threatened to ban me permanently. Zelkova talks around the subject.

These sorts of errors would have been easy to lie about, I think. But they didn't, or couldn't.

[sicklysweet]

“Couldn’t” is what gets my money. Errors and odd things like this, in a game as advanced like this, could cost CC Corp a fair amount of money if it goes public and if we find out what’s going on in the backend…

Their hands are probably tied, which makes it all that much more suspicious, hm? I wonder when we’ll find out the truth.
