ATP&EMP

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

Dates to note are as follows:
- EVENT/TDM: March 1stAn 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.
- RESERVES: March 13th
- APPS: March 20th - 26th

LOL oh no! Chess being the breaking point that triggers the vote to evict Ratio from control is too good. I'm happy to oblige!
I'm glad you approve and the fun contrast continues. Sirius comes from a world where magic is the physical manifestation of imagination and it's interwoven with the logic of the world. So he's more comfortable with magic than science. He will still do his best to try to translate his experience through the eyes of science though for Ratio's sake. It will be a fun challenge!

In fact, it’d be hilarious if him ignoring the instincts and input from those extra brains in the first place is at fault for the Ratiolings splintering off from him in the first place due to his nervous system rearranging to disconnect them less directly to his brain. Thus giving time for independent thought to form.
Then when the voices get annoying enough in their stupidity that Ratio can’t help but respond, his nervous system goes ‘oh he actually wants to talk to them, okay’ and starts reconnecting them again. Which also gives the Ratiolings opportunity to talk to each other eventually, where before it’s like sending annoying texts into the void and hoping to get noticed back.
With the more human gaps in the Ratioling’s intelligence directly prior to the Revolt is because Catio and Owltio were simply better than Ducktio in rage baiting Ratio into responding. With the nervous system then scratching its nonexistent head and going ‘Aight you are sending so many signals I’m gonna hook you up to the spinal cord more and adding some more wrinkles onto you.’
It’d be kinda funny if the Ratiolings see the inhuman part of Sirius and more or less go ‘You know what we like this guy better than our origin point. Not stupid, gets us. Can he just be our friend instead of Ratio’s?’ Owltio definitely would favor Sirius the most though because him and Ratio would both agree that learning about his world is fascinating.
Because I genuinely would love to have Sirius ramble to Ratio about magic. There is stuff that is basically magic in HSR, so Ratio would likely just treat it as another world specific science and want to learn. What is magic but insufficiently documented science?
He’d likely equate Sirius’ world to Planarcadia because the new HSR world is really similar to that with Imagenesis. Now that would be fun to talk about.
Also, bringing in magicians to the new DU project would likely be something that happens at somepoint. Herta’s simulation can’t be entirely recreated unless some artificers help out. But using imagination/soul/illusion magic to give people an out of body experience while translating the RNG results of a simple enough generation program would be potentially more doable, as the major roadblock to DU creation would be the graphics part of it.
A Magic-Technology solution would give a lot of people opportunities to have their characters contribute too, so I think it’d be the most fun approach on a meta level too.
I really appreciate everyone responding to all my responses back and ETA here. It’s super helping me further flesh out my ideas and how I’d want to handle them.
If Em’s down for it like Anna is, slow burning things would give time for both Phoenix and Naegi to get in the game to be defense attorney and prosecutor for the attempted murder trial Ratio would insist on having over the Ratioling’s actions for the sake of social peace and propriety.
Look they may be in apocalypse dreamworld, but that’s all the more reason to not let anyone feel like consequences were not fairly decided upon and had.
Point is, Naegi would likely have been one of the ones attacked at somepoint because he’d look like a delicious and squishy bug. I mentioned to Anna that Catio probably would play long enough for someone to come in and boop the Ratiolings on their snoots to drive them off and prevent any actual death.
So I’m proposing if both sides are vibing with the idea that it’s Sirius who intervenes. Then joins Naegi as his Kyoko doing some of the tagging during the trial as apart of the prosecution.
Because It’d be funny as hell if the prosecution was entirely made up of people who are also the hurt parties in the case yet still essentially collaborating with the defense to throw the trial to an acquitted verdict.
Ratio just in the defending booth looking at his prosecutors like “I am facing no consequences today, aren’t I? This is the exact opposite of what I wanted to happen.” While the Ratiolings are going “Maybe Food can be friends instead.”
All this kicked off by the straw on a camel’s back of a lost chess game. Because Ratio is deeply ridiculous as a person internally, so of course his fragments would inherit that.
Who knows, maybe some of that mentioned weakness to Sleep played a part in things too if the mods want to take advantage of that to tweak the Ratiolings behavior during said incident.
