DAY 00

[thecomputer]

[Good afternoon, Citizens!

Your consciousness blurrily returns as the transport tube your comatose body was stored in opens up, admitting you access to an unfamiliar room. One wall is covered by vertical tubes, one occasionally sliding open to admit another confused person. The wall across from you has a sign saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB", with an arrow pointing at a red doorway in the corner. The wall to your right contains an unlabeled, dusty, and poorly-lit hallway with blue walls, floor, and ceiling. You can't see the end from here.

Somewhere on your person, you will find a thin, smartphone-sized object that wasn't there before. One side of it is lit up with a red background and a number of disabled menu items. Most of the screen is taken up by another message saying "PROCEED TO CENTRAL HUB".

What is this place, anyway? And who are these people stumbling in through the transport tube array?]

LOADING AREA

[thecomputer]

[Shortly after her arrival, Moge-ko was annihilated by a hail of over-the-top gunfire in the blue corridor. Nineteen left, right? Should've listened to that countdown!

However, the next bit is a bit less expected. Ten minutes later, a pod slides into one of the transport tubes, and another Moge-ko emerges, complete with all memories up to moment of destruction.

If you check your PDCs, you may notice that one of the User IDs has changed: It now reads "Mogeko-R-███-2".]

[angry_jerk]

[Upon seeing a sight such as someone dying coming back to life, Dan reacted about as well as one might expect.]

ITS A ZOMBIE! STAB HER IN THE BRAIN BEFORE SHE INFECTS THE REST OF US!

[respring]

[ sakura lets out a shrill yelp ]

S-See? It's just like I thought, they won't hesitate to sh-- [ ...that sure is another Moge-ko ] ...oot... [ ??????? ] ...us....

[in_plain_sight]

Wh-wha... How... why...?


[Mukuro was already dully surprised that someone would just ignore the turrets, not that she's one to talk, but in her experience that's the kind of mistake you only get to make once. She's seen a lot of shit, but she still comes from a world where nobody of note has questioned whether or not people die when they are killed.]

[harshwords]

[ WHAT ]

[ WHAT THE FUCK

Rin's in complete shock, but not because of the death. Death was normal. But because of the second part, the fact that there's another one. And the fact that the User ID has changed and that she's still "alive" - was it really her, or was it a clone? Somebody better check that dead body.

But in the meanwhile, time to review the rules again.... ]

[thecomputer]

[Ah, yes. The rules have been updated.]

tags u again on the same mingle w/e w/e

[respring]

[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yeah she's in just as much shock as you are. So she slides on over to Rin's side and whispers: ]

Neesan? That's... [ that looks like sorcery to her >8| or weird science bullshit, but sorcery somehow seems more plausible ]

[harshwords]

. . . Apparently the person who's behind this decided to make six reserve clones of us.

[ This is Rin literally going nope right now. She knew it was possible to do such a thing as long as the soul still existed - which is literally a banned magic for the Magic Association, really - but still. ]

[ossifragant]

[Well that sure is a thing he doesn't quite know what to do with.

So you know what, Greed is just going to.... quietly pretend that that nonsense didn't actually happen.]

[fullonbraced]

[Robin had watched it play out, and when she saw Mogeko coming out of the pod, she let out a decidedly non-masculine yelp.]

WH-WHAT THE HECK, MAN?!

[decrees]

[...Well that was a thing that just happened, um. Logan doesn't look all that bothered all things considered, though he is frowning and mumbles something quietly.]

A Resurrection Phial...?

[ossifragant]

[Sorry, Greed can't help overhearing. Complete accident, he assures you.]

I've never seen anything so ridiculous before. A second body?

[decrees]

I haven't seen anything like this before, but...

[He frowns, tipping his head slightly to the side.]

There are ways to survive a blow that should kill you.

[He absently reaches up to his face before he realizes what he's doing and he clenches his fist at his side.]

[alchemicals]

Holy shit -

[Because sometimes there just are no words.]

Should we kill it again?!

[standbyrival]

[well there's an idea]

It's just going to come back.

[alchemicals]

So...what, you think this is just a blank check to do whatever we want? We die, we just "come back"?

[ossifragant]

You might have the right idea.

[He sounds calm, but only because he's entirely used to being around people who don't stay dead when you kill them.]

[alchemicals]

[some people die when they're killed and then some people are apparently this]

I know I have the right idea.

[standbyrival]

..............................

[CHECKS THE RULES....well that's horrifying. There are probably pokemon that can pull this kind of shit too though, so paul's disturbed, but eh. THEY'LL DEAL WITH IT SOMEHOW. . .]


Are you freaking kidding me? I guess they don't want someone wigging out and trying to kill everyone in one go the first day.

[stinkingdeadendjob]

Science sure is getting fancy, what with all our fancy Bunsen burners and state of the art lab rats... Figures the tecchies would get cloning someday.

[God he wishes he had a drink.]

[alchemicals]

That wasn't science. Science can't do things like that.

[SAYS THE MAN IN THE STUPID UNIFORM FROM 1915.]

[staunton]

[ What the fuck. ]

...How is this possible!?

[plentyfriendly]

[Phi hadn't gotten a good look at what had happened, but the conclusion she comes to after Mogeko 2 emerges is... probably not obvious to anyone but her.]

A clone?!

[dictator_ko]

What? What was that? And why didn't Moge-ko's shield stop it?! What've you done to Moge-ko's lovely special skill?
