[So.

The camera picks up an idyllic looking sandy Mediterranean beach, near a patch of grass and forest. It shakes a fair bit, like a cell phone cam in an unsteady - or nervous - hand.]

This is... this is uh. Deedee. ...'s player. Don't... if you know my real name from before the Badgernet crash don't throw it around.

I uh.

I'm on the fucking Shores of Awakening. I'm on fucking Mundus.

And taller and y'all hear how high my voice is. I can feel my tails.

I woke up alone face-down on the sand here. Felt it burn. I uh.

Please advise.

[lightnovelexperiences]

correct and correct.

i'm not sure why you expected me to disagree, or why I expected help.

[axmeowder]

Do you really want my advice on what to do here? I can tell you what I wish visitors to my world would do.

[lightnovelexperiences]

your usual advice wouldn't work, anyway. adventurers apparently got a backup soul in cloud storage.

assuming that still works with io gone

[axmeowder]

Do you need advice on getting around that? I have a lot of experience killing immortals, people with multiple lives, or people with endless resurrection.

[turingcompletionist]

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK NO

are you even fucking listening to yourself

you are advocating mass suicide here, you stupid asshole, of people who are already on fucking life support

they didn't ask to get stranded in my game, shithead, and for some of them, that might already be the only life they have left, because fuck knows people don't always read the warning labels and some dumb bitches have probably already removed some of their neurohelms

i know your world is a fucked up terrible place and i'm goddamn sorry that it's the way it is, but you need to fucking check yourself, because this is NOT the same situation you guys are facing in the fucking least

PM to Dr. Durante

[have_hat_will_travel]

Thank you for calling out that shit, by the way.

Re: PM to Dr. Durante

[turingcompletionist]

No problem. I'm trying to keep and open mind and remember that their situation is not like Mundus, but Jesus fucking Christ.

[axmeowder]

You seem very angry. However I have no idea what you're talking about.

[turingcompletionist]

there are at last count well over a thousand people from earth currently stranded on mundus.

you are advocating for people from earth to kill themselves for the benefit of those people already on mundus, yes?

you are advocating for over a thousand people to commit suicide, even though that won't send them back to earth. not for anything they HAVE done but for something you fear they MIGHT do.

that is fucked up, dude.

[axmeowder]

Deedee's player didn't say any of that. I was advising their situation. Don't go putting words in my mouth.

[turingcompletionist]

i was just going by what you seemed to be implying.

WERE you telling deedee to kill himself? because that's what it sounded like.

[axmeowder]

[ Ah, okay. So it is "he." Azra wasn't sure. ]

I asked if he wanted the advice. It's what I would do in his situation. But there's a huge difference between one person and a thousand people.

Locked to Durante

[lightnovelexperiences]

given that everyone who got an express ticket to her world is at best Kirito and at worst Naofuckthatguy Iwatani, and that she started offering advice on how to get past soul backups on the cloud, I assume yes.

I'm cutting her as much slack as I can, cause, you know, she's modeling her fuckin "I Was Raphtalia And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt" t-shirt, but like

dead dove, do not eat. I don't know what I expected.

[lightnovelexperiences]

in her defense, she's right, I hadn't mentioned that. didn't know at the time.

[turingcompletionist]

yeah, okay. sorry about that.

[lightnovelexperiences]

...given that Io is dead, and we don't know why, yes, actually, I'm curious how you'd manage to pull off deicide.

[turingcompletionist]

i swear to fucking god if she's the one responsible somehow...

[axmeowder]

I said immortal not gods. Refusing to die or coming back from the dead over and over are both fairly common for off-worlders.

[lightnovelexperiences]

humor me. how would you deal with a threat that had resurrection, teleportation, and a hell of a lot of durability and shielding?

I'm trying to do forensics here. CSI Viacruz shit.

[axmeowder]

Resurrection means you can't kill them. Which sounds obvious, but it means you need to avoid doing anything which would. You need to keep them trapped but alive. Imprisoned.

Teleportation makes it harder. That needs to be neutralized somehow. Some field they cannot get through.

Else you need to put them in a state where they can't do anything at all while remaining alive. Enchanted sleep. Or some time power maybe. Some off-worlders have those.

[lightnovelexperiences]

...what I'm hearing is there's a body, trapped and partitioned.

we need to find their body.

I hope this saves some local lives.

[axmeowder]

[ AFTER READING MOMO'S MESSAGE ]

Don't tell the princess I told you all of that. It's supposed to be secret.

[nijistaryume]

uhhhh idk if asking for our tactics is gonna help either dd-san
azra-nee hates invaders for a reason + they shouldn't know that stuff bc they might figure out how to not die?? and since you just got sent to another world (basically) that's why she's saying this stuff
sooooooooooo.
(also since you're talking abt game mechanics like levels + inventory. invaders like doing that stuff for some reason?? idgi i sure don't see levels and if i want to take stuff with me i have to HOLD it like NORMAL PPL)

[axmeowder]

[ Reads this after giving away their tactics,


Feels bad. ]

[lightnovelexperiences]

I asked because... well, we're pretty sure something with at least the same protections as an Adventurer getting killed or imprisoned is what sent me here.

finding out how... whoever did it to Io did it might help us fix things.

or stop them from doing invadery shit.



I know trust is hard and I haven't earned it yet.
