[the first thing everyone gets on the network feed is a set of two pictures, several minutes apart from one another: one and two are somewhat blurry. there doesn't seem to be any context, other than it's been posted by @prom.argentum. soon enough, text appears, however.]

alright sup hi hello everyone, i’m not expecting anyone to be able to do anything cuz let's be real: i am doomed to be stuck in here forever but i just wanna be able to record the last few minutes of life that i have in this world

these vents are so spooky and also i am highly claustrophobic and i don't think this shaking is an indication of anything good

ugh

hey @deimos.fighter
it was your turn to go into the vents

wh y

have i been forsakesdfsFHSGhdgn

[no one can see this, but he sure turned left and fell... further down the vent. his screams can probably be heard if you're aboard one of the underground trains...]

[two minutes later, this picture gets introduced.]

hello?? ok i think i landed on like.. some uncharted vent territory
NOW i'm recording this so that the public can know that dennis told me to go left and that led me straight dOWN AN OPEN SHAFT, THANKS A LOT, DENNIS

[silence]

uh... i think i just saw a cockroach the size of my hand
??? i'm gonna throw up

i know this is a simplified version of the game that you're describing
but i wanna play it now too

[lighthearted]

Yeah, I doubt we could find it in this world.

But maybe we can find something like it! Do they have video games here?

[mercurio]

omg you haven't had a chance to see what videogames are like over here
it's virtual reality all the way baby

[lighthearted]

Virtual reality? I think that's like what my friend Hiro invented!

Where can I go to play? Once I'm out of this place, anyway.

[mercurio]

there's several arcades in the city
we should definitely go once you're out

[lighthearted]

Definitely!! I'll find you as soon as I'm out.

[ Yes, this has become a priority. ]

Hey, did you make it out of the vent yet?

[mercurio]

[video games are always a priority]

i'm omw to getting out, don't worry about it
besides: i gotta show you the arcade so there's no way i'm dying here

[lighthearted]

There you go! Use that as your motivation!

[mercurio]

haha that's cute

thanks buddy

[lighthearted]

No problem!
