#EVENT: new game — The Missing Numbers

TXT Nov 21

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: Ah, okay. Thank you, Professor.[Y'know, that really isn't a bad idea. I don't usually think it, but after all of that, we probably should take care of ourselves first. Let's head upstairs for now. We can come back and do all of the other stuff down here later—like bring the Professor their coffee.]

Once you head upstairs, it seems the lab door will lock behind you. Thus, you won’t be able to return until Ace comes upstairs.

Are you ready to proceed?

YES

<a href="https://bronzeeevee.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">bronzeeevee</a>: Sorry to leave you in the middle of a conversation, Leaf, but phew, we've been looking at these screens for forever, and we think we need a break for a bit! The Professor is also suggesting we take a break, haha!One last little icebreaker before we do leave, though- Do you have a favorite Pokémon? And any particular reason for that one being your favorite? :DcMine is Leavanny! It's a Bug and Grass type Pokémon from Unova that makes clothes out of leaves! I think it's the perfect combination of cute and cool!

“… oh! Finally getting to that break, huh? That’ll do you some good. Feel free to call me back any time!”

“Favorite Pokemon before I go, huh…? It’s definitely a tossup for me, but I’d have to go with Bulba-”

… Well, shit. There was only one other conversation you had going…

Red is the only one who looks like he’s been waiting. He smirks, tilting his head at the drone.

“Not sure I’d call it a good idea… But a necessary one, for sure.”

“Clock’s ticking fast, so I’ll just leave you with one word of advice, yeah?”

“Don’t get too attached.”

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: Excuse me, Professor- Lemme just get past you real quick. I've gotta check something before I go...[Okay, big computer time! Probably not gonna do anything, but I've gotta check... Is Fire still there? Please tell me he's still there...]

[ After that moment of… Stress, you decide to sit down for a moment. There’s still some loose ends you haven’t wrapped up, after all- it could be good to focus on something else again for just a moment, right…? ]

[ … Fortunately, it looks like the cams are still running.]

“… Oh, you’re back.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll always be here.”

“It was nice meeting you, too…”

“… There are so many things that could be dangerous.”

“More than anything, just… Don’t break anything. And please, just be wary of yourse-”

[ … ]

[ The “didn’t mean to” part is understandable, but. This time, how about you answer a question. ]

[ When you come in here, look down at your screen, and go on to talk and ask things of people… ]

[ … Don’t you EXPECT them to answer? ]

[ There will never be ANY remorse for you, when YOU’RE the one who’s-! ]

why can we see your eyes now

[ Huh? What, did you think someone just wouldn’t have eyes? That’d be stupid. ]

[ You just can’t usually see them under this shadow. Surely, you’ve seen that gimmick before? ]

[ The anonymity is preferable. But if you’re curious, a peek couldn’t hurt… Or maybe it could. ]

[ Let’s find out. ]

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: ...[Hey, Avatar... Can I even talk to one of them specifically? Guess I'm about to find out— The one who uses the blue pen. I don't you don't really like doing menial or... pointless tasks, but would you like to draw a Pokémon? You don't have to if you don't want to, there's no pressure at all... but everyone else has and I don't want you to feel ignored or left out.]

[ … For the sake of humoring you, I guess. ]

[ You’re real sweet, but don’t worry about leaving anyone out. The only thing that’s a bother is how… Comfortable you all are getting. ]

[ Talking like this is hard, so let’s try to make something clear… Emphasis on “try.” ]

[ Ugh… A game has to bend for its player, after all. ]

wait do the plusle and minun have swapped pallets? the minun colored one has a plusle tail shape!

Very quickly, the you grab another piece of paper, scribbling something down in response. The motion seems… excited!

[ Yes, they do! They’re bonded! ]

The image vanishes from the screen for what seems like mere seconds, before popping back up;

[ He doesn’t have an eyepatch. He’s your cute, normal Bidoof! ]

Things seems to go quiet for a moment, before another textbox appears-

[ … Y'know, you have a lot of other Pokemon. Hang on- do you want to see? ]

The hand starts moving, rather quickly, as more and more Pokemon are doodled onto the page. It just keeps going…

And going…

And going, until there’s basically no more room on the page. The hand moves aside, letting you look at the lovely mural this artist has conjured up.

The avatar shakes their head at you, holding up a finger to signal “one moment.” They get right back to work at drawing something else…

… Huh. Thorough!

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: ...[Hey, Avatar. Could I get you to do something for me real quick? I know you said you aren't very good at it, but could you draw... yourself? It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, and you don't have to do it if you don't want to. I just figured I'd ask.]

[ … That’s a great idea! You’ll just need a second… ]

You watch your avatar sit at the desk, and… for a few minutes, you can’t control the game at all.

Finally, an exclamation point appears over the avatar’s head, and an image pops up on-screen.

I don't wanna go through the Professor's mail or anything- I'm pretty sure doing that is a crime- but if they're important, I don't wanna risk them getting stepped on and ruined. Maybe we could just leave them on the edge of their desk?]

[ Attempting invalid commands is one way to keep things interesting, you guess. ]

[ That ERROR is the only reason you don’t have ceramic stuck in your throat, though. That goddamn idiot… ]

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: ...[They are blueprints! Wonder what it's for? Maybe I can just ask them...?]...Hey, Professor? Sorry for being nosy- but I was looking around and came across some blueprints. Uh, you don't have to tell me anything about it if you don't want to- obviously- but I was just curious and wondering what it was for. It seems pretty complex and interesting. Did you make them?

As you call from the professor from across the lab, they turn to you, smiling warmly.

“Ah, nosiness is just fine!”

“I did design those blueprints- though the whole of it is a product of extensive collaboration between some of my colleagues and I. I bring the science, and they help with the mechanics.”

“Those blueprints, though we haven’t started on building yet, are for something that… If it does work this time, will cause massive strides in my field.”

“The details are a bit confidential, though. My proposal has brought enough ethical concerns from the scientific community and the League as it is…”

“But, it’s all par for the course, I suppose. Most people don’t even believe in what I’m studying, no less understand what I’m trying to do.”

Okay, so eating the cup won't work. Unfortunate.

...Say, there are plenty of crumpled up pieces of paper around, surely intended to be thrown out. Maybe we can eat that instead.

You decide to approach the pile nearest to you. The game unceremoniously rejects your COMMAND with another “time and place” message, accompanied by the same [error] you’d received before.

Frustrated, you try again- this time, it doesn’t even attempt to run the command. Instead, you’re only met with flavor text.

[ You recognize a few names and stamps- some other Professors, and mail from League officials. These seem important… In spite of the way they’re haphazardly strewn beside the desk, entirely neglected.

[ … They’re definitely blueprints, but you can’t make out what it’s supposed to be. The structure is similar to the device in front of you- but it appears to be intended for a different purpose…? Something about changing whatever’s meant to go inside. ]

[ Was there something else weird that had passed you by at some point…? ]

[ Thinking about it, that doesn’t really narrow things down. Most of the people you’ve met, though, were able to communicate verbally, right…? Why would someone need a letter?? ]

You looked nervous around it earlier and didn't seem to like it. I just wanna make sure you're okay before I do any more digging.]

[ With no real reason to hesitate, you go on and check your PC boxes, not entirely sure what to expect. ]

I'll bring it down to you.[I might be making a fool of myself here but it's worth a shot- Hey, uh... Narrator? I'm gonna assume that this is your body, and I'd like to apologize in advance. I am so sorry for just showing up like this. Do, uh... do you have a name?]

?: This vessel belongs to nobody but yourself.

[ Just the same as always, it has been designed as such from the start. ]

[ Likewise, you have no name until you choose one. Default options will be provided, but you must choose your name formally for it to be recognized. ]

[ … An action that should have been taken from the beginning. You will be correcting that soon, however. ]

… As soon as the suggestion is posed, the figure moves away towards a bookshelf at a speed that seems… Slightly faster than usual.

[ Ace’s collection seems to consist of a variety of materials that would be nonsensical… if it weren’t Ace’s. Amongst the disorganized clutter, you spot a few recurring topics- quantum theory, theology, ancient history, a few publications from other professors… And the latest edition of one of those cheap, shitty encyclopedias you’d find at a school book fair; “TOP 100 UNBELIEVABLE RUMORS AND MYTHS - FACT OR FICTION?!” ]

[ … Nothing that’s more useful than something you’d get from actually checking the PC… C'est la vie, you guess. ]

Professor Maple: I know it looks scary, but rest assured, it's unlikely to hurt you.

“That anomaly is well contained in there! The effect on the area around it is… Just a side effect.”

“It isn’t the only one in my possession, either- just the one I’ve been studying lately! That laptop there functions as a PC system, wired to release any… Unstable Pokemon right into that chamber. Lets me look at them up close without, ah… too much danger!”

???????: ( That's... not really reassuring. )

Professor Maple: If you're curious about anything, you're free to check the PC.

“But… I think I’m logged out, so it may not show you my collection… I do apologize if that’s the case.”
