you tampered with a squip ? what happened there ??

"I-I just wanted to make it better. I wanted to let him see there's so much more we could expand. More we could manage-- clearly the Squip could do so many things already..!"

"Yet we pay so little attention to the hosts, Despite being given almost everything to attain their goals-- to improve their lives, and lifestyles!"

"But I ruined it. I was wrong. I messed it up for myself."

"And I will continue to make a mockery out of myself."

Well. Now you've explained who she is. Who is he?

"I-I...!"

Ahahah.

Hello, Iridana Pres.

"...W-what did you say?"

[pres-start-to-begin]

Why were you “stupid”?

"...I did something I shouldn't have. That Maybe I should've never tampered with her. That I could've lived in ignorance and continued working with---"

"I'm not proud of what I did. And now we're both suffering the consequences of my actions."

"And I don't know what's worse. Him simply letting me get away with fiddling with his toys, or the fact that not once has he confronted me about it."

"I'm terrified of knowing what he thinks of me now."

[pres-start-to-begin]

"Ha?"

"What are you TALKING ABOUT???"

[pres-start-to-begin]

Are you… scared of SQUiPs and having one?

"I'm... Not afraid of squips. Quite the opposite, in fact. I was... fascinated by the idea of it. To have a tiny pill sized supercomputer that can basically tell you what to do? And just find solutions and answers to things with ease?"

"The perfect machine to help build yourself into something more... Useful. A trusty tool that just... Coincides with humanity, helping them better themselves. Uniting them."

"...I was stupid."

"...Identity V."

"For the Survivor faction, I usually am a Mechanic or a Toy Merchant! Maybe a Journalist? Though I will admit, I'm not very good at rescuing. For the Hunter faction... I tend to play as The Naiad or Guard 26!"

"Oh I've seen you around! How did you know that I love 80's music?"

Where do you work? Anywhere special?

"...Where I work isn't your concern."

"Ah..! What I meant to say was-- it's more so a topic I'm not comfortable talking about. I hope you understand."

Did you work with the Arbiter back in the day?

"You can... Say I did work with the Arbiter a while back."

"I do miss her energy. I just... wish I could talk to her like we used to. But... I can't take that risk right now."

"Do me a favor and... Give her my regards instead, will you?"

"..."

"Wait what do you mean, back in the day? "

[pres-start-to-begin]

In your first post you said "interact with others again"

what do you mean "again"

"Well... Let's say I've been.. a bit of a recluse these past few months. For an incident I have caused. All because I wanted to improve something. So in turn, I just ran. And never turned back. I couldn't just communicate with anyone."

"I was afraid. I still am."

"It was... Hard; trying to be a functioning person again."

"I felt disconnected... In more ways than one."

Hi-! Um, sorry if this is a bit of an odd question, but do you have any knowledge on how these 'squids' interface with brains? Like, is it the AI, or the technology? Is it done through optic nerves? -DJ 🎧

"Oh..! I'm very familiar. It actually goes with a little bit of everything!"

"First it has to do with the fact the technology itself is incredibly advanced for its time! It's only now you've heard of ai being able to be made in a microscopic level, but with the Squips quantum-level of computing, and it's compact size, for a machine made in the early 2000's is INCREDIBLE."

"The attention to detail is phenomenal. With the way it can tract and implant itself in a few seconds, (the brain stem; the back of your neck if you're wondering where) which connects the brain to the nervous system and---"

"--Aaaaand I've said too much..."

What did you major in when you were in college?

"AB English! Then I moved on to study more in Languages."

"Though, sometimes I feel like studying in that course is a curse... I can't remember the last time someone hasn't joked about it.."

favorite kind of insect/bug? Doesn't even need to he a true insect it can be like a scorpion or something

"Oh! That would certainly have to go to katydids! Especially the pink ones! They are quite the lovely shade of pink! And it's not very often you find them, so to find a rare little bug makes the experience all the more exciting!"

What made you decide to get a squip?

Or did you not have a choice in the matter?

"I didn't make the decision."

"It was a requirement."

"Let me ask you this: If you were to... Endorse a product of your making; especially one that claims to change lives, wouldn't it be a good marketing strategy to promote it through your very own employees?"

[pres-start-to-begin]

I think someone tried to dox you Pres…

"I hardly know anyone that could be a... threat to me... Well... Maybe--"

"No. He wouldn't. He isn't... That kind of person.

what's the deal w/ your pink scarf? Anything significant about it?

"Significant? Oh, no! Like my earrings, it's nothing more than an accessory and my way of dressing up!"

"It's just a fashion statement, that's all."
