[ between the way there and the actual tower he's starting to think that maybe this wasn't the wisest choice. There's few things he hates more than feeling weak and vulnerable, and having no powers or weapons doesn't help with that. But then again, isn't that exactly the point?

For now, he's going to head to check the live stream on the monitor - though he has a feeling about exactly what mansion that is ]

[If he guess was the Betrayal House, he'd be correct! The stream seems to be frozen, mostly because a cartridge has been ejected and is still sticking out. He can push it back in to resume the feed.]

[ Absolutely pushing it right back in time to check some traumatic memories ]

[Correct, sir, it's Betrayal. The room around him fades into a memory.

It's her second run, and she's fucking terrified, feeling frayed at the edges and a little weirded out by one of the two unitmates with her (Eichi) since he's acting so off. They make it through most of the house (despite Kohime being, like, on her last point in pretty much every category) only to run into Taisho at the very end. It's tense and unfriendly, and then Eichi unexpectedly attacks, and she steps in to try and guard him –– but remember those poor stats? Yeah, have fun experiencing your own unitmate violently murdering and then eating you.]

[ Okay maybe he understands why You Don't Like Taisho Very Much. If it was just a memory it wouldn't be too bad, but no, he has to experience it as she did, so it's FUCKING TERRIBLE. Even after it's finished and he's back to his senses he still feels pain and absolute terror over the whole deal, which doesn't help with the rest of the mess he was already feeling in the game tower.

It's time to go back to the time honored tradition of repressing the shit out of emotions and trying to shove that as down as possible. ]

... Well. That was something.

[The pigtailed girl seems to have noticed him.]

"Oh! Hi there! When did you come in? Are you here for science?"

... Something like that. I've always been a fan of science. You are?

[She turns away from him, fiddling with knobls and buttons, using her hair as well as her hands, her eyes glued to a scrolling dataset on the screen. She sounds distracted when she answers:]

"Hm? Oh, I'm Entrapta. Catra put me in charge of monitoring the equipment."

Just out of curiousity. Are you able to monitor everything in this place?

"Me? Oh, sure, sure. I'm not supposed to, but it's easy to hack the systems, and sometimes I get bored. . ."

[There's no trace of shame in her tone.]

Good. May I see the rest of Level 2 on the monitors, please?

[She blinks, and only now looks towards him.]

"I don't think I'm supposed to do that. . ."

I don't want to see anything too detailed - simply whether people are there or not.

[She seems to mull this over.]

". . .I guess I could tell you that. There's only two other outsiders down here, they're in the Barracks."

Well. That's good enough for me.

But assuming you're feeling particularly bored today, I'd suggest on, you know. Putting your talents to use for the rest of the day.

"Huh?

. . .Oh, oh, you mean take apart one of the sentry bots and see if I can upgrade it to fire heat-seeking missiles? Because I want that."

It wasn't what I meant but now that you said that, it seems like a good upgrade.

I'll be on my way while you do that.

[ so time to head back, and head to the forge, since he knows people are exploring the barracks ]

[The hallways are still terrible. Once you get clear, you can head on to the Forge.]
