★ EXPLORATION OF A NEW WORLD ★

[modaphor]

[Following a productive — (productive? convincing it to to a brief stint identifying as a redheaded catgirl probably constitutes being productive, sure) — first meeting with Arche, the assembled members of the Agency are now left largely to their own devices, a little bit older and a little bit wiser, and in all likelihood probably a fair amount more confused than they were before.

After interacting with Arche, the flickering lights have all but ceased, presumably because Arche has proceeded to start...working on that, intent on doing what she can to make the facility a little more pleasant and liveable than it was before.

Following the various discussions, at least one thing seems apparent: the resident AI is having some memory loss, and is currently hard at work attempting to remedy that by searching for its missing memory cores in...well, however it is that AIs do that sort of thing, it's complicated and she probably wouldn't bore you with the specifics even if you asked.

So. That leaves a facility at your fingertips, and about eleven other people that you're apparently going to be dorm-mates with for at least the foreseeable future. Good luck with that?]

THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[OOC: And here is your last log for the week; as of now we're switching over to weekly sub-headered logs like this until investigations begin next week. For the time being, if you want to talk to Arche during the week, please use the top-level comment provided and specify the circumstances in your tag if need be!

Arche's information will be updated shortly to reflect the new changes she's undergone!]

[That causes him to duck his head a little, sighing inwardly.]

< I think it's safe to say she doesn't. If somebody really did move those cores to a place they aren't supposed to be, they did a good job of it. It doesn't sound like she really knows where to even start looking, either. >

[nullorvoid]

Yeah, and the problem with that is we don't know if the damn cores are still in the building, so I don't know what the hell we're supposed to do about it.

[thermals]

< I asked her if there was anything else we could do to get to that information other than by finding the cores, but she said there wasn't. Apparently she's designed to be an information hub for this whole place, but if those cores are missing there's no other way to get to it. >

[nullorvoid]

In other words: this is a wreck.

[thermals]

< Basically, yeah. It's the part about not being able to actually do anything about it that's bugging me. And like you said, those cores could be outside this building for all we know. >

[nullorvoid]

Well, hopefully it's not planning on staying impossible for too long; my boss is probably pissed as hell right now.

[thermals]

< No kidding. Apparently we're not even on Earth anymore, so that's as good of an excuse of being gone as any. >

[But since Ginti is apparently also schrodinger's cat over here, he isn't sure if saying he's from Earth is going to be at all...accurate...]

[nullorvoid]

It doesn't matter if it's Earth or anywhere else - we can't just decide to take some sort of vacation in the living world anytime we want!

[thermals]

< That's the thing though- this wasn't our decision. >

[nullorvoid]

Do we know that?! For all we know, this could be like that girl's dead cat thing!

[........he might want to clarify, um]

We don't remember how or why we're here - maybe we were kidnapped or maybe it was an accident, but I don't think that's even possible for some of us, is it?! So it's not likely but for all we know, we volunteered!

[thermals]

[...just give him a moment to take in what you just said, Ginti.]

< I might not know anything much about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure I'm not both dead and alive. And after the last thing I remember, I don't know if I would be jumping at the chance to do anything like this unless I had a really good reason. >

[Yet, in saying that, he may have just proven his own point.]

< ...But...I don't know, maybe that could have happened? That sounds a little crazy, though. ...and if that's the case, I'd like to know just what happened to make us all forget. >

[nullorvoid]

Yeah, I know, I'm not either and that's what I tried to explain to her, but what I meant by that was...augh, never mind - the point is that I'm pretty sure either my boss is pissed or someone way, way higher up the chain of command is pissed. Like, inescapably pissed. If it's gotten that far up, I'll take the living world and all the idiots in it over that.

[thermals]

[Tobias just...stares for another moment before saying anything else, his talons squeezing the wood of the easel a bit anxiously.]

< There isn't much you can do about it right now. It's like before- we're stuck playing a waiting game that none of us remember asking to be a part of. >

[nullorvoid]

That's why I've been trying to keep myself busy.

[Just. Let him go back to his damn carving, okay.]

At least she seems to mean well. Arche, I mean.

[thermals]

< Yeah. I guess if she really meant us any harm, she would have done something by now. >
