IC Contact Post

[ After you enter the realm, there's a young girl and a robotic cat at the front desk in the lobby of a hospital next to a computer and a very large 3D printer. ]

or perhaps, skipping past them, you might encounter a young man straightening the playroom. any one of them will politely turn to meet you: ]

Greetings, user. How may we help you?

OOC Notes: Art linked on this page was specifically commissioned from Fiship and Shibara of Tumblr; character concepts (c) to Verisimilitude of Plurk, character designs & artwork (c) to their respective artists; please do not claim as your own. if you're interested, both of these lovely people are available to commission and are well worth your money!

[ entering the realm with Makoto at his side, peering around at the interesting set up here ]

We're here for two quests.

Edited 2015-09-05 01:12 (UTC)

We're happy to provide. What items do you query?

I'm interested in getting a Vaporeon. It's a Pokemon.

[ and he'll let Makoto tell what he wants exactly ]

Yes, we are aware of what a Pokemon is.

[ the glowing blue lights surrounding the silver plates on her forehead flash a blinking pattern ]

However, a Vaporeon is an evolved form. I can only generate Pokemon as eggs. Once the egg is hatched, its un-evolved state will come into being. It will be up to you to raise it properly. If that is still acceptable to you, I will offer you terms and conditions. Do you still wish to proceed?

[ nods to that, he can wait for his water Pokemon ]

That's fine.

[ then glances at Makoto, prompting him to ask, too ]

Ah, and I'd like a Blitzle!

It's another pokemon.

Proceeding.

[ there is a whirring of internal drives and another sequence of flashing blue lights from her forehead before she continues ]

The cost of the creation of a new life form is expensive. We will require a large amount of direct sensory data from each of you to proceed.

From one of you, we wish to mine your auditory receptors for the span of three consecutive days. From the other, we require your vision.

[ the 3D printer suddenly whirs to life, and within minutes it spits out two plastic spherical objects which the cat collects in its mouth and brings over.

it continues where the girl left off. ]

Within one of these capsules is a pair of earplugs; within the other contacts. Once you put them in, all sensory input to your ears or eyes will be converted into data that will be sent to our intranetwork for further compilation and review. This will however render you without those senses until the end of experiment. If you choose to terminate the project early, you will have to start all over again.

--We must also add that even once you have your egg, it will require several additional days to hatch, and in that time you must continue to carry it and care for it.

If you wish to continue, please select which of the items you wish to use.

[ looking over both of them, while he wants to grab the the contacts, he knows that'd be the easy way out ... so he's reaching for the earplugs before Makoto can pick. what a pushy jerk.

but he does glance at Makoto to make sure this is okay ]

[ he looks at Haru and slowly nods, reaching for the contacts. ]

Ah, wait, Haru, before you put those in--

[ leans in to whisper a quick "I love you" before moving away, blushing and working on putting in the contacts ]

[ you two are super cute, but sadly these robots don't really get pdas yet. they'll watch and wait as the two figure things out.

once the contacts are in, makoto will find his sight completely blocked out; like haru will find that absolutely no sound filters in past the earplugs. ]

In three days time, you may remove the items and return to us for your eggs. If you wish, we will arrange for a cane for your blind companion.

[ gets a hint of a blush from that and looks at her, shaking his head ]

I'll be with him this entire time. It'll be okay. Thank you for your help.

[ with that, he'll be stuffing the earplugs in ]

If we need it, we'll stop by.

[ and putting in the final contact ]

[ it seems like that deaf swimmer is returning with his blind boyfriend to return the items they had in for their quest ]

It's been three days.

Yeah...

Welcome back. Data transmission has been successful. If you'll please remove the items for proper disposal, we will be happy to exchange them for your eggs.

[ glances at Makoto and points at his ears, did she say it's okay to take them out?

and once he does get his approval, he'll be removing them ]

[ slowly reaching up to take out his contacts

this is so hard

when you're blind ]

[ it wouldn't be a quest if there wasn't a challenge start to finish, boys. when they're both able to hear and see again, they'll find trash can at the floor in front of their feet and two pokemon eggs waiting for them on the desk ]

These eggs must be carried and cared for for two days before they will hatch.

[ discards the earplugs ]

What happens if we aren't carrying them for the entire time?

[ because what if games... ]

Is it just two days in total of caring for them? Or if we stop, does it reset?

An egg cannot be hatched if it is not cared for properly. Were these normal animal eggs, 24-hour constant incubation and careful handling would be required to ensure the developing creature inside can reach maturity. However, Pokemon eggs are not the same. Should you put the egg down, its hatch will merely be postponed.

[ the same as it is in the games, no worries ]

[ there's much relief in that and he nods ]

Thank you. For your help with this and the information.

Yeah, it means a lot to us!

[a short wave]

Hey. I want some books.

We'd be happy to provide you with reading material. Is there a specific subject or title you were hoping for in particular?

I don't want nonfiction, but other than that... Surprise me.

Very well. In exchange for the new data we will provide you, you must be willing to give us data in return.

[ a robotic cat trots out with a sheet of computer paper in its mouth. it places the paper down on the counter-top in front of natalie. there's a list of questions on it which read:

1. What is your family like?
2. What is your favorite memory?
3. What is your view of authority, and what event in your life has most affected it?
4. In your former world, did you have a job, and if so , what was it?
5. Who is your closest friend or worst enemy, and why? ]

For every individual who is willing to answer these survey questions, we will give you a book. Any individual who happens to be someone you have never spoken to before will earn you extra points toward an extra book--three new people, one extra book.

Do you find these terms and conditions satisfactory, user Natalie?

[looking over the questions and nodding, taking the piece of paper]

Yeah, this should work. Thanks.

Can I ask why you're curious about this stuff in particular, though?

There are many aspects to you wisps that we are unaware of or have little experience in understanding. Before we woke here in Kyriakos, we primarily served young, ill children. Although we wish to continue serving in whatever capacity may be most useful, in order to do so, we need to understand the aspects of human and non-human life that we are missing.

[ Sometime after the first aid lessons, and then everything else, he finally comes wandering in ]

I wanted to thank you.

[ units has his arm all prepped and ready for him ]

User Broomhead. What for?

Well, it's hard to do a first aid demonstration without supplies...

I think at least a few people managed to learn something new, so it was well worth it.

[wandering in here a few hours after the game]

Hey, Units. Good job on the festival.

So, what do you wanna know?
