[Mafia] The Aurora Project - [END]

[PointMaid]

...Huh. Transportation is not completely reliable, I see. I've been there. Welcome... Dr. Gerald, is it, then?

[PointMaid]

Wait, Ruby says after noticing Bow's comment. ...I think the person who kidnapped me and the others in the game I was in was trying to stop that Takeshi. Or claimed to. They were still running a game requiring people to murder. Tall, pink and glowy. Kinda stalkerish after... never mind.

[awe921]

Russell looks up at the conversation again. He can't help but wonder who names their kid Grey.
Though, Russell himself met people with names such as Gardenia, so... Maybe he is not in the position to call out this questionable name.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi, unlike Russell, doesn't keep the thoughts about the name to herself. Alright, what kind of fuckhead names their kid Grey?

[Caret]

"Tall, pink, and glowy... wait, I think know who you're talking about. V, right? Her creepy follower forced me into his murdergame in order to satisfy his headmistress, which... eugh. He's still alive and running about and yeah."

[PointMaid]

Uh, yeah. That's her. Damn.

[Cassie]

Heeko gives off a...seemingly offended look at Voi whilst handling some stuff on his phone, as if questioning over what names are given to people ticks him off. "Rude..."

"Can neither confirm nor deny about my knowledge on these "murdergames", though I must say I have no idea who this "Grey" and "V" are..."

[Kennifer]

"No one will fault me if I don't talk about the ones I was in, right? I'm not proud of what I did in the first, and the second ended abruptly and horrifically for me."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

UGGH. Are you people still gonna keep rambling about some death game you played like, forever ago? What the fuck?

[PointMaid]

Yeah, I'm... not proud of what I had to do in the one I was in, either.

[Kennifer]

Holly scowls at Voi. "Well, why don't you change the subject then?"

[Caret]

"I literally got stabbed in the back during my game. The only reason I'm still alive is that I was saved in the nick of time by someone I befriended back at my murdergame." Bow sighs. "Wonder how's she doing right now."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Gladly! Clearly, this isn't gonna go anywhere because you people want to talk about it and not talk about it at the exact same fucking time! But anyways! W are here. What are we even supposed to be doing after we throw ourselves into this outpost?!

[PointMaid]

What are we supposed to be doing, exactly? Um... good question.

Would our hosts like to answer that?

[awe921]

... Russell nods. They do have a point; what in the hell is a weird, but yet familiarly comforting fox... thing, an android with a temper problem, a bunch of scientists and an emotionless 14 year old doing here, in this isolated peak...?

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Yeah... What exactly is the goal here?

[Caret]

"OK, I'm starting to get a teeny bit suspicious considering the oddly specific circumstances surrounding all of this. What could be the reason behind randomly recruiting a bunch of strangers from all over the place?

[Kennifer]

"I figured I was here because of my background as a scientist, although I don't see much need for botany or biochemistry here come to think of it..."

[PointMaid]

...Not unless there's work to be done on alpine trees or lichen that's probably under the snow at the moment, no, come to think of it. I was also under the impression that there was some science work to be done, though.

[Magolor]

"Well, if you don't even know why you volunteered, I guess you're just going to have to sit around and watch, like a bunch of loafers. Though..." She smirks. "This killing game thing would definitely make things interesting."

[Cassie]

"Ah, right, why you're all here."

"I've invited you all here to help me and the Pianist build the ultimate telecommunications tower! It's a major project assigned to me by the company I work for."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Oh, I know why I came, you fucking pretentious furry. I'm here to find some kind of escape from the city. But what the fuck do you want us to do in this ice cold shithole?!

[Caret]

"The ultimate telecommunications hub, huh? Well... I'm not the best at technology, you know. Also, if this is indeed supposed to be the ultimate telecommunications hub, then why does cell service here suck?

[awe921]

"... oh." Russell is admittedly surprised. He's not sure what he would bring to this project, given that he's skipped classes and isn't even 18 years old yet. He does have his magic (didn't take his spell manuals with him though, like most of his other items), which is something that could be made use out of.
Though with the mentions of a killing game, fate may show to Russell that his particular set of skills will come in handy very soon.

[PointMaid]

Hmmm. A telecommunications tower? Yes, not exactly my area of expertise -- my friend, now, she's an engineer back where I come from and would... never mind. I'll do my best, I suppose. What I've seen around isn't exactly high technology as I know it.
