ATP&EMP

ᛗ

Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's fourth ATP & EMP Meme! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- EVENT/TDM: March 1st
- RESERVES: March 13th
- APPS: March 20th - 26th

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision (note that this does not guarantee an invite). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

Yup, I figure we can swing DU recreation as long as the mods can turn it into the Nexus Torment Chamber as needed. Ratio isn’t going to be able to completely replicate Herta’s code from memory, so there would probably be vulnerabilities able to be exploited.

He is getting fussed over in Ratio’s usual harsh “Explain to me in 20 words or less why you thought that was a good idea.” Kind of way.

Bless. I’m sure Ratio will immediately jump onto both projects in an extremely healthy way and not at all as a way to ignore the ‘intrusive thoughts’ in his head growing louder overtime.

Legit though, if Caelus snoops with tuning and notices 4 tunable ‘people’ in Ratio’s body, he’d probably have the best chance of noticing what’s wrong before it blows up in everyone’s faces.

Which is why he should aim for another Praise of High Morals item instead and not snoop on why Ratio seems to be getting headaches often, sleepwalking, and talking to other people when he’s not aware anyone else is around.

Or at least talk and agree to wait until morning before proposing the ‘Uh Oh This Place Copy Pasted Dumber Ratios With Crappy Printer Ink’ theory this morning.

It’d be a way less traumatic reveal for everyone than a murder game esque investigation of a torn up hotel room. The Ratiolings interpreting Ratio’s reaction to the idea as a threat to them would give them reason to unite for the first time and do that unionizing in order to runaway first.

But who says we can’t have both?

Sunday is too polite and aware of tuning social taboos to do such a thing without permission, while the trailblazer runs around Penacony emotionally shaking people down for sweet sweet emogears and side quests. So post-discovery the game plan could have been to call in the tuning expert to poke around more in the morning.

Please. Fussy worried Ratio is everything. 🥺 We shall get that moment for sure, including the grounding I guess, LOL.

Caelus will definitely talk it over with Ratio himself first before telling anyone else. And he trusts Ratio being able to realize his situation after Caelus talks to him about it, and will take appropriate steps himself rather than hear out a raccoon's suggestions. But of course, Caelus is always open to doing anything to help Ratio out.

It’s one of his charm points. If he’s disappointed and mad at you that means he cared enough to care and believe you capable of better in the first place.

God. Imagine if that conversation with Caelus unintentionally tips the domino that leads to the scenario I outlined with Sirius below.

Ratio wanting to destress his mind from the revelation from Caelus goes to play chess with Sirius, but due to backseating from the Ratiolings and being distracted, loses.

Chess being Serious Business to Ratio and the Ratiolings, this leads to an argument later that night about how Ratio doesn’t listen to them, him snapping back that if he did then he’d have taken bites out of multiple people by now. “There are multitudes of actions you can take instead of back seating my life with idiotic suggestions and commentary. Try those.”

Then that’s when the Ratiolings essentially go ‘Wait no your right. We can try front seating.’ and uno reverse card revolt and takeover. Because if Caelus says they feel separate then that means they must have some control over the body too, right?

Then to the surprise involved it actually works. With the Ratiolings then essentially going ‘We found the solution. You stay in the timeout corner, we’re going to go do what we want.’

Then promptly go get lost enough to comeback hungry enough to start attacking people, or just straight up start doing that to prey looking people because cats and birds don’t really need reasons beyond ‘I SEE FOOD’ to do that.

The mental image of the Ratiolings just putting Caelus firmly on the ‘Friend not Food’ list because they unintentionally got enabled via revelation of being potentially separate enough existences by then makes me smile.
