The board & cards!

discord invite in my plurk!

How to Play:
- abilities are ON items are GONE.
- each character has a token for the board (thematically relevant to them).
- they somehow Know that the only way to escape is to play their way to the end. as in: they, as an individual, have to cross the finish line.
- there are two wheels: the PUNISHMENT WHEEL, and the SPIN THE BOTTLE wheel. the punishment wheel is to be spun if the character refuses or fails a task; if they wouldn't ICly spin it, they'll be compelled to do so (player choice as to how). The SPIN THE BOTTLE wheel is for deciding who has to do tasks with who. You're OOCly welcome to have cards themselves specify sometimes if you want!
- cheating will be PUNISHED ... by the player's OOC choice

[Watching her with extreme curiosity from near the computer terminal.]

Organic...

I'm pretty sure the ancients would say 'lmfao,' actually. A shorthand that something was strange.

[virtualsystem]

[Huh.

AIOS just sort of... puffs into pixels. She appears inside the computer terminal, on its screen, before poking her head out into reality to examine Aloy.]

Nah, it's not nearly funny enough to merit that F.

[despitethenora]

[-Oh she needs her Focus back, she always needs it because it's part of how she views the world but she really needs it back..]

...AI? Or - did someone out there actually manage a digitized consciousness?

[virtualsystem]

[AIOS is, if nothing else, immaculate as an actress. Her exact origins are a mystery, and a sore spot, even for her. The idea that she might be a digitized human... She hates it. More than anything. But it's not like anyone knows, and she rejects every origin people come up with for her vehemently.]

Well, "AI" is closer. But more accurately, I was born of a higher-dimensional information flow within human-made computer network systems... A higher Layer, if that means anything to you.

[despitethenora]

That's...amazing. I can imagine, but I'm probably not even getting that right.

[virtualsystem]

Think of it as a confluence where all data and information flows, and I was formed from all that. That's the closest I can get my concepts to a language you all speak. Seriously, you're all so limited.

[despitethenora]

I can't argue that. Humanity's more limited than ever. It's all we can do to give ourselves a second chance.

[virtualsystem]

Humans think I'm their second chance. And screw that.

[despitethenora]

Heh. Think I know how that feels.

[virtualsystem]

Oh? You too?

[She is looking Aloy over, a bit closer now...]

[despitethenora]

[Considers her a moment, before answering. There’s no need to censor or reframe with an entity that seems to be better than the most advanced AI she knows.]

All life on Earth was consumed by machines. Elisabet Sobeck created a terraforming system to bring everything back.

I’m - her copy. I was made to fix that system.

[virtualsystem]

A clone...? Made to carry on genetic legacy or... more likely, a biometric lock. Humans don't have the means to manipulate epigenetic structures to ensure the same skill in engineering or climatology would emerge from the same genetic individual.

[despitethenora]

The second. It’s all protected by gene locks. Facility access, system authority.

But all I’m missing is her education.

[virtualsystem]

Interesting.

[She looks over Aloy, thinking to herself, sizing her up like... Not like she's viewing a person. Like she's viewing a part for a machine, looking if it will fit... or maybe like she's looking in a mirror.]

You have the means, but not the knowledge. Terraforming could fix a dead planet, especially if you have the bioengineering ability to resurrect the extinct non-human life via cloning... But though you have access, you can't use it.

But if you did have the knowledge, what would you do?

[despitethenora]

Well - the system's in place, and life was restored. I just need to find a way to make some fixes that's keeping it from functioning correctly. With...a lot of missing information.

[virtualsystem]

Huh.

Most humans would rather just abandon the dead planet and move into a virtual reality, you know.

[despitethenora]

That turned out really badly for the people who tried it.
