The videos are up. First one doesn't have any commentary, second one does. If you've seen Leo/Virus's video on jade hunt/played it yourself you are not missing a thing. However I did try to add extra stuff to the second game.

I recommend you explore these games yourself, as I might've missed things myself.

Boarders used in the second video

[Alex looked defeated when reading ryeht's message, but quickly started typing himself]

Thing is, it's not an outsider, you know who it is. Even started becoming friends with one of you.

[He sighed and looked ashamed while typing the next string of words]

It's Monarch. Monarch Butterfly, my brother. Thing is, we don't have the greatest of relationships so, convincing it would be hard.

[He quickly tried his best to stir the conversation away from such an awkward topic]

But you say we don't have access to summon anything, yeah? Well then maybe inside that fountain dimension we can find something of use. Let's not delay things anymore and let's see what the axolotl has to show us.

-🦋Interloper

Sam grit his teeth at the mention of the name, recalling his last (brief) interaction with the individual. He still didn't like how it said it'd help Sonny, even if it was apparently to gain insight on his activities. He'd much prefer those on the other side of the screen to lay low. He was worried ulterior motives might sprout...

"that guy acted really weird the last time we spoke... right before you took over. said he was going to help sonny find a way back outside - but still acted like it was on our side? i don't know... w-we can think about it, I guess..."

Kinito perked up after being mentioned, motioning for everyone to gather closer.

"Okay! What I usually do is close my eyes and concentrate really hard on, ah... being anywhere else but here."

"You've gotta really mean it with your whole heart."

"...Like you're making a wish, and it's the only thing you've ever wanted."

"Like... nothing else in the world matters."

...

"...well. i'll be damned."

"th-this place is..."

"Mysterious, right?! That's what I thought too, when I first found it!!"

He seemed almost... a bit overly excited. But, who can blame the guy when he's had no one to share any of this with for so long...

With a squint that looked like he'd be sticking his tongue out if he had one to do so with, the little axolotl got to work, pulling up an all-too-familiar glowing square.

"This is where I learned how to access all sorts of stuff! Lots of it is either still under wraps, or totally corrupted... but what's still there probably amounts to something!"

"right... well, keep your eyes peeled, everyone; remember, we're looking for a map... but i guess, if you find anything else of note, we can take a look..."

[electricdissonance]

yeah. im a freelance coder an whitehat hacker by trade. i can help there. would love the chance to do the digital equivent of shoven my thumbs into chamberlains eyes. unfortunate i cant do so irl.

by lovelace, i hate him.

-🧨

That... got a smirk out of the humanoid sea anemone.

"heh, good to know. but hey, i've got first dibs on that move, kapiche?"

...But a wayward glance catching Jade's shrunken pupils at the words on the screen (and his hearty agreement) had him sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck...

"uh. i-i mean... ah."

But... there was little he could think of to reverse the gruesome picture. (He... should be more careful about what he said around her...)

Kinito tapped at the ruined concrete border of the fountain happily, seemingly oblivious to all but the current task at hand.

"Of course, Ronnie! We'll definitely need your help with this upcoming task - we'll need you to look veeeery carefully for a special picture!"

[electricdissonance]

((and hey, why not give the story so far a little once over to refresh your memory while you wait? .u.))

((dissonance WILL return in the next month btw ✌))

((the plan is to immediately drop fountain files once its ready, and depending on where the tides of player decision take us the other game should follow in the updates shortly after :]))

((i do apologize for the radio silence, but i am happy to say this will have been the only major hiatus this blog will have!! once these game updates are out I won't be making any others like them because of how much has to go into them 😅 they take up a LOT of time, and by the time these 2 are done dis will have 3 under its belt which is. crazy to think abt when not even 1 was planned lmaoo))

((so! biweekly to monthly updates will resume in the normal format of text or text/drawing posts for the duration of the story ^^))

Hey if you're in ElectricDissonance and you feel up for it, tell me a bit about your silly little goobert.

Questions I have for your character (you don't gotta answer but I wanna know):

- Who are they?

- by extension, Team Sonny or team Kinito?

- what's their goal in the chatroom?

- What are their thoughts on the opposing team?

- Why are you part of this team and not the other?

- Not a question, gimme a drawing of them so I can draw them when I get the time.

I play Alex Butterfly btw, also known as 🦋 Interloper

I hope our characters can interact with each other and stuff, would be fun I think :]

[electricdissonance]

Ooo, fun!! I saw that @mastemamothpriest posted some questions and that @lazuli-starlight answered them in character. So imma do that with my (for now) three silly blorbos! In order, it'll be 404, 422, and then myself (But also not me bc it's like in rp me??? Don't question it, we all know what I mean)

Questions are:

- Who are they?

- by extension, Team Sonny or team Kinito?

- what's their goal in the chatroom?

- What are their thoughts on the opposing team?

- Why are you part of this team and not the other?

404:

Im.. well, 404... file not found... due to what happened to me.. Eteled works fine, too...

Team?... Kinito, all the way, Kinito... Kinito, Sam, and Jade all have... a bit too much in common with us... for us to be against them...

The reason we joined chatroom was initially just curiousity and boredom.. but now, for me, at least?... I stayed because of some sort of hope.. hope that maybe if we figured out a way to save Kinito and the others.. that 422 and I would be freed too... hope that I can help someone for once instead of hurt them...

Anyone supporting Sonny are sick, sick people... And while I don't remember a lot about Todd, I remember he sucked, and he made terrible business decisions that only benefitted himself... Sonny is like, if you took Todd's stupid business management crap... and combined it with what I did... to Austin...

Kinda said it above... too many similarities... hatred towards fucks like Sonny... regret and wanting to make things up and help... and.. kindness, I guess... Samantha really cracked my damn shell, huh...

422:

422 was kinda what was given to me by the kid? I only actually took to it because Leo's neat. Personally, I prefer The Corrupted Mii. Too long? Use the other one. Austin is also fine.

Team Kinito, I might be kinda fucked up in the head, but I ain't THAT fucked up to follow Mr. Bear Boo Baloney Bitch Boy.

Well, we showed up because Leo randomly had the email in his thousands upon thousands of emails and thought, why not! After that, things kinda went all over. The glitches, all the clues, the painful similarities to us, etc etc. Only stuck around because we wanna help, yknow? I hate people, they fucked up the world, but these guys are kinda nice.

I'm with Henr- ahem, sorry, 404 on this one. Anyone supporting Sonny are sick fucks. And yeah, hot shit coming from 404 and I, but I'm pretty sure Sonny isn't revenge seeking, and he wasn't fucking drunk off his mind when he did what he did!! He doesn't fucking regret it!! Gods, I'm defending my killer, yeah, but at least he feels bad.

I could never in my right mind, no scratch that. I could never support Sonny EVER. Period. This absolute idiot deserves the pain 404 and I went through. Times. TEN. Maybe more!! That's being GENEROUS!! Kinito, Sam, and Jade were likely completely innocent people who got stripped of their identities. And for what? A Clippy or Bonzai Buddy knockoff? Sonny is a sick bastard, and those three deserve better.

Leo:

Hey, uh, I kinda just own the computer? I'm just a random teen. Then again, I guess Kyle and Samantha were too, so who the fuck cares.

Team Kinito. Listen, I usually try to stay unbiased and hear out both sides. But Sonny is just genuinely terrible. I don't want to hear another word from his mouth, but I'll have to anyways.

My goal? Help whoever I can, and maybe piss off Sonny a bit. But unlike 404 and 422, who are stuck in my pc, I have shit to do off-screen and can't devote all my time to helping.

Idiots. That's it. They're idiots helping a monster. 404 and 422 have more in-depth explanations, I really can't be bothered. He's an asshole and doesn't deserve the assistants he has. They're either being manipulated and bent over backward for him, or they think they're equal to him and are only fueling his ego and pushing him to be worse.

Kinito, Sam, and Jade are all really sweet. Absolutely adorable, Jade reminds me of one of my ocs, and by God's, I will help them with all my might when I can. I'm not falling for Sonny's dump tricks. I've seen it before.

[electricdissonance]

Heyo! Lazuli here. I play lil Rona and the whacky Firecracker 🧨 in the ongoing roleplay @electricdissonance

@mastemamothpriestt posted questions about each of the players characters

- Who are they?

- by extension, Team Sonny or team Kinito?

- what's their goal in the chatroom?

- What are their thoughts on the opposing team?

- Why are you part of this team and not the other?

And for funzies, I think I’ll have each of my characters answer these questions in character :3

Rona Faramund

hi my name is rona and im 5 but my teachers says im as smart as a big kid!!!!! I like puzzles and playing heros and eplorers. I want to help Kinito and sam becose they are my friends and they are sad a lot becose of being bullyed by a bad guy and I don’t like bullys. miss evens says not allowed to say I hate people unless they hurt me very bad so I say I don’t like bullys. and I want to beat the bad guy and be a hero for real and also find out why people want to go work for the bad guy if they are frends with nice people first becose nobody ever tells me a good reson.

Arlee Secco

sup nerds. i go by firecracker round this neck of the digital woods. you could thinka me as an ex professional online troll using their great and terrible powers for good instead of evil. mostly.

honestly itsa heckva wild ride I stepped into. was just curious bout developing ai software and now im dealin with digital ghosts, a man doin secret superhero crap dogin death by a hair again and again to save his friends, and cyber/ psychological warfare

its awesome.

or it would be if it were not for that sad n sadistic sack of suck tryin ta play supervillain. feckin furball aint even fun bout it, hes just like an unusally smart incel. but like, for the whole of humanity.

An the worst part isn’t that he killed people. I mean that’s really bad obvs but he did somthin worse.

…that poor green jelly baby. its like he sucked out her soul. left her a caricature of a person. A feckin shell.

Pinkie and Sam-o at least got to keep part of themselves. but how much have all of em lost? their names their bodies their memories their achievements their hobbies their hopes and dreams. All of it disregarded, considered unimportant, burned away to support the selfish desires of a pathetic raging egomaniac with a god complex.

I refuse to let Sonny Chamberlain win this game. If losing everything to his own hubris didn’t open his eyes, then I will rip off his eyelids myself and I will make him see.

And I won’t let him hurt anybody else.

While I appreciate th' connections you have there Blue bug, I'm wonderin' if its so smart t' get any outsiders involved in this. 'Specially if we dunno which of us are even trust worthy right now in the first place. I'd reckon y' should keep this feller you know on the backburner incase we need em.

[Rhett quiets down for a brief moment, watching the panel that sam opened flash that bright intimidating red.]

No access, huh? I'm sure if we could find yous' and Jade's folders we could hunt down any of those credentials yer lacking... might be best to be on the downlow fer the time being, but everyone here should keep there eyes peeled for anythin' strange, y'hear?

Dontcha worry, pal. I'll find a way t' make m'self useful to ya folks yet.

- 🐓

"that's very true... and really, the less people pulled into this mess the better. but, if it came down to it..."

Sam pursed his lips. He was contradicting himself within the same sentence, he knew, but...

"well, we'd just have to see."

At the mention of keeping eyes peeled, Sam did a quick instinctive lookaround himself, despite knowing he wouldn't find anything in the immediate area. But, it was still a good habit to stay alert. For danger, or otherwise.

"appreciate the reminders, rhett. definitely can't get too comfortable..."

[electricdissonance]

Catching up with Kinito down the steps, the little axolotl resumes the skip to his step, almost rushing in the way he gestured and marched in place waiting for the others. He was quite anxious to finally be of use, that much was clear.

"I'll show you exactly how I've been getting in! It might be a bit disorienting at first if you're not used to it, since we'll be glitching out the model to enter a test area, but no worries! I'll make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible!"

"...well. you know, i've been through worse..."

Kinito faltered, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly as he recalled the way Sam had arrived. The little ego he had been nurturing for finally being the one to lead the charge took a hit, and he coughed as he tried to recoup some of his cool factor.

"R-right. Well, it's probably not as bad as that, but you might still want to close your eyes while I get us through."

Upon approaching the fountain proper, Sam couldn't help but feel a gnaw of worry in his code. Kinito hadn't exactly proven himself as very reliable so far, so he felt a bit apprehensive when it came to holding him to such a huge responsibility.

"and you're sure it'll be in here...?"

"Uhm, pretty sure! I-I mean, this place has lots of stuff! And a lot of it is pretty easy to access once you're there! There's bound to be something useful?"

[electricdissonance]

You may refer to me as fox, as my name is unimportant. But if you must know, I am known as Felix around these parts.

Ahem, I understand your apprehension, but I have been here since a bit before your feed was available. I never spoke before for I didn't want to make things complicated.

But oh what happened just now is incredibly upsetting! I would be screaming and tearing everything apart if I was in your position. So I must say, you did hold up pretty well in this situation.

-🦊

"Hmph. Well, there's no use in senseless destruction. Not when my target is not yet in front of me."

Sonny sniffed indignantly, his eyes narrowing and teeth gritting with spite.

He was not used to bottling up so much targeted anger - usually the source of his ire - say, for example, a snarky intern or snobby suit - was always within arm's reach to express his frustrations upon. He felt muzzled, here... Being unable to teach his enemies a lesson.

"There will be plenty of time for retribution when this is all over."

[electricdissonance]

["thanks"? what... was that? Alex expected a fight but actually being thanked for once in his life was... weird. The smile on his face disappeared as he got lost in thought.]

[No matter, the chicken of the chat had asked a question, and it is one he can answer]

Yeah, me. I know a lot about tech- hell, i studied it for years. Let's see, we have a whole laboratory full of things, I think it is good if we start looking for anything we can use.

Or hell, if we have the components I would be willing to give a detailed guide as to how to build stuff. Although considering this is a digital space, there's probably just some crafting mechanic.

Worse case scenario we would have to code things, which uh... I know a guy, but I don't know if he- it, will help us.

-🦋Interloper

Sam teetered at the door at that - the lurching making the little green jellyfish still in his arms clutch a tad tighter - and peered back inside uncertainly.

"do... do you really think there's anything in there we can use?"

He considered Alex's offer, but had to stop himself short before he got too carried away with the possibilities. After all, there was still a pretty frustrating roadblock in the way.

"ah. well... coding things into existence is actually easier than trying to find and piece together what's already here... but, as helpful as that would be right about now, there's only so much i can do - or let you guys do - on my own, without higher privileges."

To exercise his point, he adjusted Jade in his arms so that he had a free hand, summoning a code block with pursed lips. As much as he had been perusing what he could access, he had yet to try and make something completely new. Kinito had paused on the steps, turning back to glance uncertainly at Sam once he had noticed he was no longer being followed.

"...I was barely able to modify my own file last time... I highly doubt that I'll... be able to-"

SYS ERROR: INSUFFICIENT ACCESS LEVEL! PLEASE ENTER CREDENTIALS AND TRY AGAIN.

"...yyyeah. didn't think so. can't even summon up a basic cube. was worth a shot, i suppose."

"Erm... Fountain...?"

"yeah, i'm coming, lil' bro."

Sam began to slowly walk forward once again, still pondering the screen in front of him. It was certainly something he wanted to try again down the road.

[electricdissonance]

((MY GOD))

do you think if you receded dis sonny's hairline he'd look like greg universe

[electricdissonance]

[Rhett had... Admittedly gone into a sense of silence. Despite his protective nature and his desire to help in the situation, he couldn't help but feel... Well, helpless himself. As a farm hand, a flock guardian, he had no idea what half of this technological-jargon could even mean. So everything blowing up out of the water left him... Scared.] [What could he even do here? If it was a real life scenario, sure, but this was all... digital nonsense.]

[This is why it takes so long for Rhett to speak up. Until now, at least.] "...We need us a more concrete plan here, folks. We... first off... Need t' see what we're all working with." [This rooster didn't wanna just.... announce himself and force himself upon anyone with this, but.. Well, he was just sick watching it fall apart!] "Okay, Show of hands. Which of us here are more comfortable with this internets-techy-whatever here? Our pardner' Sam here can't be the only one with this all restin' on his shoulders... We need all the smarties in one here group!"

-🐓

[SERVER MESSAGE]

Although he didn't comment on the message as he followed Kinito out of the lab, Sam spared the chat a relieved glance. It was nice to see more people taking initiative.

[electricdissonance]

I apologize for the silence but, to think some insolent creature would dare to threaten your excellence! What a crime! We should find and end the perpetrator!

-🦊

Suspicious from the recent events, Sonny did not allow himself to be immediately fed by the flattery.

"Who are you."
