7th Memory [Video]

[in_loveless_memory]

I know the attack by those ice pixie... things and the ice monsters wasn't exactly fun for anyone involved, but it got me thinking on something.

Has anyone re-examined the ice on the bridge? It seems like Thiazi is getting more and more... mentally unstable, maybe that means her powers are too. Maybe that means we can do something about the ice?

I would appreciate anyone's notes on the matter if they went to examine it already. Or maybe we can organize another examination of it?

A warning to anyone new, don't touch it though, it'll cause instant frost bite... or it did when it first happened. I haven't gone to look at it since.

What do you mean IN? Like... you're a video game back home or something?

no I mean I was in one like you have to go inside it to play in person

there are all these cards you've gotta collect, and some are really hard to get. you need to complete missions or trigger certain events, stuff like that

So then virtual reality?

That's cool though, what was the game?

[robosnack]

Greed Island.

I think it's more likely an isolated place in the real world though because you're physically transported there. it's not virtual. I'm still trying to figure it out

Did actual physics still apply there oooorrr....?

[Text]

[robosnack]

that's what I'm trying to figure out

It's a bunch of video game logic like monsters turning into cards when you beat them and NPCs only knowing a few lines of information... And cards that can teleport you other places or let you talk to people like on a phone.

But things like gravity are the same. It feels physically real. and if you don't leave your body behind when you enter the game, it doesn't make sense right? where would it go?

Do you get physically injured in it if you get hurt in the game? Like, a bruise or something if your character was attacked?

I can't say there's anything that advanced back home for me.

yeah, and if you die it's game over in the outside world too.

It's interesting, for sure. Definitely not navigable unless you've got the proper skills. though no one's ever beat it

This is sounding less like a game and more of just kidnapping to another world.

So everyone who has entered it has been killed? How has this thing been allowed to exist?

[Text]

[robosnack]

no no it's not that they were all killed. just that no one's won yet

We're gonna win though. Gon and me. We're gonna beat it. it's gonna be awesome.

But they still die in real life if they die in the game.

I'm unconvinced it's not being kidnapped.

Just be safe, I guess. No "reset" buttons, by the sound of it.

there are ways to leave the game without dying, just exiting. some people just stay in there forever, doesn't mean they die. and we chose to go in voluntarily. we worked really hard to earn a spot since it's sooo hard to get in the game! It was pretty cool.

[ WAIT A SECOND ]

[Text]

[robosnack]

wait why do you sound like you're worried?

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

Because the notion of someone dying in a video game and thus dying in real life is stupid.

[Text]

[robosnack]

just gotta not get yourself killed

tho I appreciate the sentiment

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

You seem like the type that go looking for it.

You're welcome.

[Text]

[robosnack]

no I'm just a very good judge of what I can and can't handle...

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

Is that so? Well, that's better than most who just think they're out-right invincible, I suppose.
