LupNet broadcast, backdated 7/23

[hellawrath]

[Some of you may have noticed that, barring a brief appearance during Storytelling, Lup hasn't been seen or heard from anywhere in the past week? Well, good news! She's on the iStone network now!

Sounding uhh, incredibly furious, voice rising in pitch and volume the longer she goes on. It's possible she may have done something dumb, passed out for five days, and awoke to her camp turned even more of a gay disaster than it usually is. It's fine, she just Needs To Yell here for a bit.

Unfortunately, somebody forgot to hide her Stone.]

YO ENSO, any other fools around here looking to report their recent fuck-ups?? Any like, japeries, shenanigans, ill-advised adventures or stupid-ass experiments in the last, I guess five days, that you wanna fess up to? Anybody tried fucking licking the goddamn robots yet? Where we at, folks?

And hey, if anyone you know can't get their head outta their ass either, let me know! I gots callouts for days!

[A brief pause, and then notably gentler:]

Not you Ren, you're amazing, sweetie.

I didn't even know that someone owned that thing.

[He's going to skip over the part where she verbally excoriates him for not being on the up and up, thanks. That's the nice thing about tense conversations; he can simply ignore the parts he doesn't feel like addressing, if he so chooses. And he does, indeed, so choose.]

[hellawrath]

[And the nice thing about Lup is that she gets hella mad hella quickly, but she doesn't have the patience for real grudges. Just give her something else to impulsively fixate on.]

Well it didn't fucking like, get birthed by a mother elevator, if that's what you were thinking? He's-- he's one of ours, both the nerd and the nemesis of all stairkind. Cuz that's the kind of bullshit my bro mixes in with when I'm-- indisposed.

[TIM HAS MET THIS MAN. He has met this man and has no idea 8) ]

I didn't think they were here. You telling me it came through with him or something?

[hellawrath]

[And chances are he'll keep having no idea cuz Lup's too mad to bother remembering the fool's name.]

Shit it sure did! Kravitz said he'd run into him, same time as that thing went on a fucking rampage. He invented it, or-- or his dad, or something? [Listen, she was in an umbrella at the time, it was kind of hard to care about the little details.] Lil dipshit's like a genius inventor? Mostly robots with a heaping side of necromancy. Hence why these fucking assholes went n kidnapped him.

[postictal]

Robots.

[That is the one word Tim has decided is important in all this.]

You think he might be able to help with figuring out how these robots work? [Yeah, sorry, he's not gonna waste time being indignant or angry when there's apparently some dude hanging around who might be able to crack this mystery wide open.]

[hellawrath]

Hoooly fucking shit.

[Lup sounds beyond exasperated. Tim, please. Is INT just his dump stat, is that what this is? She likes him, really, but he's killing her right now.]

That's literally why-- I mean, yeah! They're probably gonna be dancing the macarena when he's done with 'em! Does that make it okay to kidnap the dude, d'you think? Am I the only one who's-- who's maybe, a little bummed about that?!

[postictal]

I thought you guys kidnapped him because he was a problem.

[He doesn't have the whole narrative here, Lup, cut him some slack. Or don't. Whichever.]

Do you think he will be a problem?

[hellawrath]

He's-- I mean he's kind of a shady little shit, he like, kidnapped a bunch of souls out of the Astral Plane, lied to pretty much everybody about uh, pretty much everything? Nearly got the whole world turned into crystal. [Yeah, exactly like the caves.]

But he's also kind of a wet blanket? And did it all to get his dead mom back, so like. [Cool motive, still morally objectionable. But she doesn't sound particularly wary of him.] I doubt he can do much damage around here? Just be on your toes around him, I guess.

[postictal]

I think everyone here would be plenty happy if we never saw another crystal again.

[He doesn't need that reminder, thanks. He doubts anyone else does either.]

That sounds like some heavy...magic, I guess. He's gonna be limited here, right?
