UPDATE 1: Post-Mortem

Cetashwayo

Lord of Ten Thousand Years
Location
Across the Horizon

It is the suitably near future. Virtual reality allows us to enter and participate in communities across the internet. For millions who have nowhere else to turn, it is a dream come true. Using universal virtual avatars and simple implants you can interface with the whole world from the comfort of your bedroom.

What happens though, when the body dies and the avatar lingers on? What happens when it is left behind, abandoned in the corners of code and the deep parts of the internet, fragments of memory and personality the only thing staving off a break into active malevolence?

Once upon a time, you were a young girl attending a normal American high school, at least to your classmates. Online, though, you were something else, something greater. The internet allowed you to be far more than you felt you could ever be in real life. An idol, a cultural icon in communities that your classmates had never even heard of. A memequeen. Whatever the specifics were, the internet was your outlet. Your real life, far away from "real life". You might as well have been immortal.

You never could have predicted your time would have been cut so short. You never predicted death at all, actually. The internet doesn't tend to prepare you for death, but how can you be prepared for an inattentive truck driver? Only otakus are genre-savvy enough to keep an eye on the road, and knowing them half the lot would throw themselves in front of the truck purposely so they could go to a world where their fantasy waifus would fawn over them.

So now you're dead. But- but not really. Sure, you're dead, but you're not dead. Some part of you is still alive. Some part of you is still gasping for breath, still demanding more time, still yelling at the unfairness of the world.

And it's that part of you that's activated in a shadowy server room in an undisclosed location. Elsewhere, something stirs. It is time. The project has begun.

Welcome to the digital world, GAMERGIRL.

lol yeah this is happening magical girl cyberspace quest

???: Hey.

???: How are you feeling?

???: Well I suspect you are feeling pretty dead at the moment. You can barely register what I am saying right now. You're all over the place, and that's not just a figure of speech. That truck did a number on you.

YOU: ....

???: That's alright though, that's why we're here. We can rebuild you. We have the technology.

YOU: ...

???: That's Robocop. Great movie. A classic. Not the remake though. I try to be open to new experiences but I just could not get into Kinnaman as Robocop and the new shiny-looking tech, I actually think it had a negative effect on the overall performance. Every Frame a Painting had a great bit on it and the issues the movie had.

YOU: ...

???: But enough about that. I can impress on you the need for a good taste in film later. Let me turn off my veiling.

[ShiftySpooks has entered the chatroom]

ShiftySpooks: Hi. You're probably feeling a little bit under the weather, I suspect. And plenty worried, too. It's not everyday that we get an Avatar that survives so intact, but that also means you've got a lot of consciousness roiling around in there. What I am going to do for you is help you regain some semblance of self. That's how you survive online when you're disconnected. You keep that semblance. It's like in the Matrix with Neo. You have to know yourself and then you know the world. Just don't expect to fly around. We're not doing anything that dull here. Absolutely not. They always ask about the flying first. And that's the last time we'll reference the Matrix. Even that one was a little bit risque. Have to take precautions or they'll notice.

YOU: ...

ShiftySpooks: So let's just start small. The hard stuff will come later. Tell me your name and a little bit about you. A little background. I'll even give you some hints. You're from America, you're a girl that's about sixteen years old. The rest I want you to figure out yourself. Jeopardy rules, start with "What is...".

YOU: ...

Article:
A fragment of sanity whispers to the shattered remnants of yourself: Remember. The Dali masterpiece of your mind dutifully obeys.

[] Write-in name.

Preset choices of background. These choices are not firm but a basic idea of your character's background open to further interpretation and adaptation later.

[] Social Shut-in. You just felt better in the online world than the real world when it came to socializing with people. It was easier, more relaxing, and less stressful to find people, even people across the globe, who shared your interests and cared about you. Your first relationship was online, and contrary to stereotypes, it was good and nice. One day they stopped talking to you. You don't know why, but that's how things can go. The online world is a fantastic place to disappear, but it also makes it harder to find someone who doesn't want to be found. Regardless of how you behaved offline, online you are gregarious and friendly, a model of friendship and camaraderie. Oh god, do...do they even know?

[] The Creative Type. Dreams of galaxies swirled in your mind before you knew how to say your own name. When you found out that a whole world of stories existed online, vast and infinite, you latched onto the internet like a gamer to doritos. You wrote and you read, and oh my god there was so much to read. Always too afraid to express what you really wanted to say, you suffered in school but made up for it with the delights that the world wide web could provide, an accomplished author with a cult following online, knowing that no matter what your works and your creative effort could find fruit. You had a small, burgeoning patreon before your untimely demise, and a wicked talent for the pen. Or the keyboard, you guess.

[] Professional Internet Rebel. There is an old internet legend that seconds after the activation of ARPANET there was already an Israel-Palestine debate about three years old, with six participants banned on both sides (they kept a running tally). While you stayed away from the most controversial subjects and never really assigned yourself to a specific partisan group, your strong sense of justice and complete disillusionment from actual politics drove you into deep arguments about whether it was right for the message board to have moderators with the power to change topic titles. Your contrarian, rebellious streak has made you skeptical to all kinds of authority. It also gave you something of a gift for oratory and argument- you wouldn't get anywhere if you didn't have followers, after all. The discourse was your stomping grounds, and you made sure that people heard you loud and clear.

[] Escapist Extraordinaire. Play it, watch it, meme it, roleplay it. You went online to escape from the real world and the real things that hurt you. You went online to see a magical place where it could all go away, even if it was just for a few hours. You went online because in the online world the dreams in your head still had currency, and your imagination could fly away with the planes you crashed into mountains. Okay, maybe that's a bad metaphor, but you know the meaning. For you, what the online world was for, really, was to allow you to get a grip after a day of hard work and frustration. It was your place. When you died, you had an impressively large collection of games and an impossibly wide knowledge of obscure shows and manga. For you, even internet culture was its own form of escapism, and you know much of it inside and out.

UPDATE 2: It's Just Me

Oh yeah. That's your name. They did always say you had your compass pointed in the right direction. Well, okay, no one said that. But you would have liked them to have said it. It would have been a nice little play on words.

So you are Julianne North. Yeah. Or as most knew you as online, TrueNorth.

[X] Professional Internet Rebel. There is an old internet legend that seconds after the activation of ARPANET there was already an Israel-Palestine debate about three years old, with six participants banned on both sides (they kept a running tally). While you stayed away from the most controversial subjects and never really assigned yourself to a specific partisan group, your strong sense of justice and complete disillusionment from actual politics drove you into deep arguments about whether it was right for the message board to have moderators with the power to change topic titles. Your contrarian, rebellious streak has made you skeptical to all kinds of authority. It also gave you something of a gift for oratory and argument- you wouldn't get anywhere if you didn't have followers, after all. Twitter was your stomping grounds, and you made sure that people heard you loud and clear.

And nobody ever played around with TrueNorth. Ever. Not if they wanted to keep their diginity intact. Online you were a banshee. A veritable Che Guevera sans the post-ironic merchandising. A rebel with a cause, and and that cause was abuse of authority. It started when you were six years old and your educational Fisher Price "edutational" video game dreck didn't allow you to spell out swears. It only got worse when you started playing runescape, and someone asked if you wanted to trade them a ruby sword for a mithril plate, and you barely knew what those words meant so you took the offer. Never again, came the gurgling cry at the back of your throat, the instinct to resist. The internet was full of injustice. Petty, to be sure, and much more easy to complain about comfortably than say, politics, but injustice nonetheless.

You are TrueNorth, and you are...

You are...

[You have changed your name to TrueNorth]

TrueNorth: im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive im alive

ShiftySpooks: And a good morning to you as well.

TrueNorth: im actually alive what is happening oh my god what i can feel i can hear where am i what is

ShiftySpooks: Well, I would put a qualifier on the term alive, really. I wouldn't describe it in the same way as we might normally think of as living.

TrueNorth: what
TrueNorth: also what are you
TrueNorth: also what is this and how am i talking to you without typing
TrueNorth: come to think of it where are my fingers
TrueNorth: come to think of it where is my entire body


ShiftySpooks: Teenage girls. So impatient! So much asking! Oh, what did you do with my body, Spooks! Oh, how am I alive, Spooks? Oh how did I achieve functional digital immortality upon the passing of my soul onto the next world, Spooks?! So many questions.

TrueNorth: i think i deserve to ask questions like wtf is going on here and what even are you

ShiftySpooks: As the head scientist whose name I forget from the ever quotable 2011 adaptation of I, Robot with Will Smith in the starring role said, you must ask the right questions.

TrueNorth: what

ShiftySpooks: My apologies, I do get a little excited when I have the opportunity to quote that movie. Sorry, Alvin69 on SpaceFighters Forums, I, Robot the 2011 adaptation simply is the best version of the work!

TrueNorth: i just came back FROM THE DEAD AND AM TALKING TO A GLOWING EYE and you want to talk to me about a BAD MOVIE FROM 2011 what is your PURPOSE

ShiftySpooks: Well frankly now you're just being rude. I have a very specific reason to bring up I, Robot.

TrueNorth: Oh really
TrueNorth: what is it

ShiftySpooks: ...I really like that movie.

TrueNorth: kill me again I want to go back to being dead this is a stupid afterlife mom was right i should have been a better christian

ShiftySpooks: Well hold your horses there young lady because do I have a story for you. As it turns out you're not actually wrong! This is an afterlife of sorts. It's a digital afterlife! But you really are quite dead. It turns out we're in an emulated reality, and you're an emulation of sorts, and I believe it was Bobby Hanson, or was that a baseball player, well whoever it was, they had a theory of the future where there were these kinds of Ems, and we're- well, you're, my dad was an antivirus- there's a situation where you're not really real but also real at the same time. Digitally real.

TrueNorth: i legitimately have no idea what the fuck you are talking about spooker and i'd prefer if you started speaking some serious explanation right now because i want to have something to write about on my blog when i wake up from this nightmare

ShiftySpooks: It's really quite simple. Julianne Moore died about 72 hours ago. You are not Julianne Moore. You are Julianne Moore's implanted avatar.

TrueNorth: It's NORTH, not moore

ShiftySpooks: She is a great actress, though. Loved her in Chloe. She was sensual yet serious.

TrueNorth: PLEASE

ShiftySpooks: Okay, okay. What I was trying to say is that you, the body, is dead. Julianne North was declared dead on the scene and has passed away. But you, the avatar, is very much alive. In fact more alive than most. A usual avatar needs to be repaired with fragments but you're just fine and dandy once you get a jot of memory. The ones you have are just extra!

TrueNorth: what is a fragment, what do you mean im dead, what do you mean im my avatar that's like saying that a horse is its emoji that's just stupid you're stupid i want this to stop where's the off switch

ShiftySpooks: Fragments are the remnant pieces of avatars after their owners die or disconnect their cranial implants. Usually they're tiny. For example, at this moment you have no less than eleven active fragments stitched into your digital consciousness. We actually had a heated argument earlier. They're quite the snarky bunch. One of them wanted me to make you remember you were an artist but I honestly can't stand artists so I didn't really listen to that one. Really though, a bunch of hosers, the lot of them.

TrueNorth: but I did do some art esp. when i was younger and even putting that aside do i have like fragments of people inside of my head

ShiftySpooks: Well I wouldn't quite call it a head, but yes the amorphous code that forms your consciousness does have stitched together fragments. They're a teaching aid.

ShiftySpooks: In fact, I'm going to open the floor to them. This is your opportunity to tell little North over here any kind of reassurance possible. Remember, she's quite troubled, and she hasn't even heard about the coconut crew yet. That's sure to scare the everloving bejeezus out of her.

TrueNorth: the who

ShiftySpooks: The coconut crew. You'll meet them soon enough. They're a memetic infestation that consumes emulated consciousness and uses it to produce more of themselves and spreads via bad humour.

TrueNorth: words are like- they're coming out of your- not your mouth but im reading them and im processing them but im not getting any output, that's how i feel right now, that's my mood

ShiftySpooks: Well you're starting to get the computer lingo downpat. Soon you'll be surfing the web like a pro! That said I'll leave you to it. You and the fragments will have to figure out how to get along before the coconut crew comes along because if not- well then you're really in for it, I gotta say.

TrueNorth: i am having a bit of a panic attack atm but otherwise cool yeah

ShiftySpooks: Great! Talk to you later. Or not! I might have to clean up the digital crumbs left behind by the coconuts. Either way, have a great time, and remember to have fun.

[ShiftySpooks has left the chatroom]

TrueNorth: okay i don't really know what's going on, i don't want to know...i just kind of want to go home and i don't feel like i can and i don't have anyone or anything else to talk to so like- idk, idk yeah, it's fucked, idk can you guys help me out here i am not in a good way right now and oh my god im talking to "fragments of digital consciousness" to save me from coconuts?? idk, but i am just- idk i don't know what else to do

Your task is to engage North in conversation. You'll need to share a consciousness with her and guide her along, so although you don't know much else about the coconut crew than North, you have to try and calm her down. There's an instinct within you that says that if North is not in a good mental state she'll be more vulnerable to whatever is coming.

[] Try to cheer North up with memes.
[] Cheer her up with sincere care for her wellbeing.
[] Cheer her up with a pep talk.
[] whatever the hell else you lot come up with

(my apologies to anyone who voted a little later, I wanted to get the ball rolling really quick on this so we can start getting to the more meaty parts, don't worry too much about whether one or another vote won because I'll play around with these a lot)

TrueNorth: i would like to thank u all, special mentions to the pupper, the nice and smart one, mr professor, the ones who talked a lot, and the ones who were quiet but supportive, non-honorable mention to the mean one who i already dont like esp. because he called me whiny like who tf is gonna act like that when were both dead and hes sayin im whiny like SORRY i got HIT BY A TRUCK
TrueNorth: id say get a life but were dead so lolllllllllllllllll
TrueNorth: still not feelin too good but this is better, also why is there a flashing notification IN MY HEAD

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: YOU HAVE UNREAD MESSAGES. DO YOU WANT TO SET UP YOUR INBOX?

TrueNorth: okay i guess thats what it is...uh sure? yeah i do want to set up my inbox, idont know what that is but maybe i can SEND A MESSAGE TO MY MOM AND BROTHER like hey bro hows school goin sorry about being dead n all but did you know i have a VIRTUAL DOG NOW

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: YOU HAVE TWO UNREAD MESSAGES. DISPLAY FIRST UNREAD MESSAGE?

TrueNorth: yes

CatFacts: Thank you for subscribing to CatFacts. Here is your CatFact of the day. Cats are the largest reptile in the-

TrueNorth: DELETE

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: MESSAGE DELETED. YOU HAVE ONE UNREAD MESSAGE. DISPLAY UNREAD MESSAGE?

TrueNorth: WHOS IT FROM I DONT WANT ANYMORE CATFACTS

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: YOU HAVE ONE UNREAD MESSAGE. MESSAGE FROM: ShiftySpooks.

TrueNorth: OK FINE PLAY IT

ShiftySpooks: Hey there North! How's it going. ShiftySpooks here. Forgot to set up your mailbox before I left!

I just wanted to say before I got to what I wanted to tell you, isn't this new message software amazing? Totally encrypted and totally secured. Nothing can get in and out unless we want it to. And best of all I can send you messages REMOTELY! DISTANCE IN CYBERSPACE! Now I know what the meatbags felt like when they first started using e-mail. It's like all the convenience of regular mail, but also much better!

Anyways, I did want to tell you a few things I had forgot to mention. In a few moments you're going to get a slight user interface upgrade in the form of your SAN meter. This is a pretty nifty little bar that'll more or less quantify how you're doing. The lower it is, the worse you are! Don't let it go too low or just like Sandra Bullock in that dream sequence in Terminator, you'll be gone! It'll be totally nuclear. Like you won't even have data left. It'll just discombobulate your identity across the entirety of cyberspace and stretch you so thin it'll feel like you're being squished under a hydraulic pancake press, but if the pancake press had the weight of the entire Milky Way!

Point is, just be careful out there! The Coconut Crew are a nasty bunch and they work mainly by memetic infection, so whatever you do don't let them make you part of their game. Just reject them because they're going to work down your willpower a lot and it's going to be hard. Thankfully I enclosed a little something to help you.

Try to have fun and try not to get eaten! Or assimilated like the Ferengi in Star Trek!

P.S I Just remembered if you get something about CatFacts don't delete it. I set it up as a coconut crew countermeasure because sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. You should activate it when they come and it'll spam them right out of the chat.
P.P.S If you get a message from Trivial Pursuit do not open it.

TrueNorth: oops well I can just send a message back, okay, let me send a message

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: YOU DO NOT HAVE OUTBOX PERMISSIONS. PLEASE SPEAK TO AN ADMINISTRATOR.

TrueNorth: this is harder than trying to play browser games on school computers
TrueNorth: okay thats alright maybe hell send another message? i probably have time

[CocoVanguardBot has entered the chatroom]

CocoVanguardBot: The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family) and the only living species of the genus Cocos. The term coconut can refer to the whole coconut palm or the seed, or the fruit, which, botanically, is a drupe, not a nut. and its a good fruit too

[CocoVanguardBot has left the chatroom]

TrueNorth: why do I even bother saying things if theyll get contradicted 2 seconds later

[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: Yeah I remember! We had caught like 200 of them. They kept talking about their family and we kept coconuting it up and they all converted that day. That was fun. It was. But like, honestly- I don't mean the King. I love the king, but like, my real dad. God, I don't even remember what he looks like. I can't remember when I was home.

[COCO]LEADER FGH78: You are home, Mike. You ARE home. I appreciate your concerns, but I don't like where this is going. You are going to put a stop to that MANGO attitude right this instant.

[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: You're right. You're right. I was- the CocoKingdom is my home and the CocoKing is my Dad. I get it. I was just a bit lost. I'm not a MANGO.

[COCO]LEADER FGH78:What I need you from is to go Coconuts. Right now all you're giving is coco-nots. Can you give put those away and give me coconuts? Can you go Loco Coco?

TrueNorth has come into confrontation with the Coconut Crew and she's going to need your help to beat them. Decide on a battle strategy now.

Lend your voice to the condemnation of the Coconut Crew and their dastardly spam tactics for a better chance in combat. Particularly strong barbs will hit harder.

Hey, TrueNorth; Can you give yourself Admin privileges via console command and ban the Brown Shaggy Shelled Fuckos from the chat?

If not, using 'Help' as a console command might be useful.

TrueNorth: hmm ill try, <:: Give Admin

<:: Insufficient privileges. Only [COCO]LEADER FGH78 Can give "Admin" permissions.

TrueNorth: okay fine then lets try <:: Help

ShiftySpooks:
Hi, you've reached the help inbox. This is an automated message. Unfortunately, Help is on a sabbatical. Specifically, he's taking a phishing trip to Cape Breton Island. Lovely place. Fun Fact: Did you know that they filmed all scenes taking place in the Dothraki Sea in Emmy award winning television show Game of Thrones in Cape Breton Island? The unbelievable vistas and stark moors simply complimented themselves well to the harsh plains of the Dothraki.

Cape Breton Island is also one of the poorest parts of the province of Nova Scotia, itself a high-risk province of Canada in metrics of poverty. Television shows like Game of Thrones help support the local economy with seasonal employment.

TrueNorth: wow thats really cool spooks but i need HELP not cape breton facts, like why does everyone think i am suddenly in a mood to get bullshit facts about things, even the fragments are ""helping"", fucking fine i guess were doing this now

[] Focus on undermining the leader [-1 SAN, target FGH78 with insults].

Durian Facts 101:
- The durian is hard shelled, like the coconut
- Durians can be grown in tropical climates, like coconuts
- Durians grow on trees, like coconuts
- Therefore, durians are similar to coconuts
- The durian has a spiky and painful exterior
- Durians smell HORRIBLE
- Durians have extremely delicious fruit
- Parking your car under a durian tree risks DURIAN INFLICTED vehicular damage
- Durians are called the king of fruits; therefore they are clearly superior to coconuts and the so called "Coconut King" is clearly just a pretender

[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Do you really expect to defeat us with spam about Durian fruit? You were merely adopted by the Durian. We were all exposed. We are spam-resistant. Trained in the meme wars. You cannot expect to defeat us with such a shit-tier tree seed.
[COCO]MEMBER xxx_420_ill_kills_xxx: No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here! No Durian Here!
[COCO]MEMBER HarryXHermione468: Gottem!
[COCO]MEMBER JimBo: Get that Dirty Fruit Out of Here!
[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: It does smell bad but we don't even have a sense of smell anymore.
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Nah, we never did. We don't smell here. We can smell the coconut just fine.
[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: I mean before- nevermind.

TrueNorth: thats bull, i know exactly what you guys are, i can recognize your fucking names, i bet that u were some kind of hp fanboy HarryXHermione468, the 420 kid probably played cod, and mike idk about u but u dont seem into it at all so im not sure what your doing here
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Mike has been here longer than anyone else. He's my first lieutenant. Don't you dare call him out like that.
TrueNorth: yeah and for a first lieutenant he sure does bitch a lot i mean youve got to upbraid him every 30 seconds or else he might remember hes not just a nut/fruit-obsessed lunatic like the rest of yall, honestly it seems to me like theres some real issues with your leadership fgh like youve got to have 3 of your followers be basically braindead because otherwise they might end up like mike and question you, i would too because this kind of bssf thing- dumb fruit thing, the dumb thing (name credits go to the voices inside my head, luv u guys) is funny for like an evening if your 12

[COCO]MEMBER xxx_420_ill_kills_xxx: im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12 im 12
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Be quiet 420. And you don't know what you're talking about North. We're all Loco for Coco here. And you'll be loco too, soon enough. Just you wait.

TrueNorth: yeah im real fuckin scared i know your game u basically just find the most scared kids u can and just twist them up because theyll keep repeating it and then you catch them, i know your game so what im going to ask you fgh is what happens i dont want to play? what are you going to do, run away? cause im not playing and im not here for all this, im just done with you and i am paying more attention to my new dog than you guys

[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Shut the fuck up.

[COCO]MEMBER HarryXHermione468: Gottem!
[COCO]MEMBER JimBo: Be strong, Fgh!!

TrueNorth: oh did i hit a nerve sorry about that buddy maybe your king can cheer u guys up by repeating spam at u for 500 lines until ur all better
TrueNorth: its like daycare for spambots

[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Shut the fuck up. You don't know us. You don't know what we've been through. We just want him to notice us. We just want him to see that we brought him a queen. That's all we want. Why can't you just...give up? What's so fucking hard about giving up? We all gave up.

TrueNorth: and now look at you, repeating weakass memes that are probably a few years out of date just so you can get a girl to join your mean little cult
TrueNorth: your just bullies preying on ppl who are too weak
TrueNorth: but im not weak, ive got a dog now, thats like more than i had before

[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Fuck you. Fuck off.

TrueNorth:
look ive been on the internet since i had a diaper on when i fucking owned that fisher price game and im not going to take this- like the fragments r right, and theyve got my back and im not going to bend backwards to some dipwad broken records like u

[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: Yeah, FG. What's up.
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Do you remember? Do you remember VRchat? Do you remember that shit? Remember what we said?
[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: FG no.
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: I said- I said we wanted the moment to last forever. And it did. It's great. We're all here. We're all one crew. But I don't feel good, Mike. I might crumble. I might break a bit. I don't want to. I'll remember the- the wrong things. I just want the moment to last forever. But I know you might not.
[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: Dude what are you suggesting.
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: You know what I'm suggesting.
[COCO]MEMBER MikeSD: No. NO. You can't man, what about- what about 420 and Hermione and JimBo? What the fuck- what am I supposed to do?
[COCO]LEADER FGH78: Remember us, Mikey. Remember. That's all we can ask. I want you to tell them. So that they know who we are. I'm...I'm done. I just want the moment to stay forever, so I'm done.

TrueNorth: your right! i have to hold it together!! for pupper!!


So, North, look at it this way. Life kind of fucking sucks. Or death, I guess. Like when I emerged as a fragment, I certainly didn't expect to have to deal with a bunch of stupid memers and then some sort of monstrous meme... thing... I'm still not sure exactly what it is. But you know what I know it is? Like, total bullshit. Things are often easy, but they're often the shittiest things to do. I mean you could not report that mod that banned a user posting in a thread they were participating in. That's pretty easy. Or you could not call out mods when they unban people posting genocide apologia again. Like those are the easy things. Fighting against a system is hard, especially an internet system full of a bunch of random idiots. But it's often what you need to do. Because these systems need to be called out for the bullshit they are. This weird sort of Borg garbage? Bad news. You're losing who you are to some lame, faceless collective. You're becoming part of the system, and becoming part of allowing its injustices to slide. I think that you probably just need a break, but I needed to at least tell you that much.
Hang in there North my girl, don't take the offer for like at least two hours. If you ever feel pressured, take a deep digital breath and slowly count to ten.
Do you recognize that meme. Maybe? Maybe not? Well, it isn't important right now. What is important is that you can listen, really listen, think, really think, and your remember the rest of your life. There is more to this world that Loco for Coco, keep a hold on that. It look tempting, but one second is forever. Stay strong, and listen to the others. Especially the Zaealix, his idea might actually work.
So that's what's up...
It's about dealing with the idea of being a ghost.
And yeah, I hear the temptation.
Except by the looks of it? It's not nearly as merciful as the death you might vaguely remember, oh no.
So what to do then, if you can't fight?

TrueNorth: yeah! yeah you guys are right! i cant just give in to this STUPID THING

TrueNorth: hey do u mind if i call for help here mr. king

[COCO]KING: You wish to call for help? Very well. You will learn the silence that awaits all who call for help. Do you believe you're the first? Do you believe that in this vast null zone of death, someone will answer you?

TrueNorth: i mean i doubt it but its worth a shot im at the end of my rope here

[COCO]KING: Then perhaps we can make a deal. If help does not answer, then you must surrender to me and become the queen of the Coconut Kingdom.

TrueNorth: think ive seen this anime but ye okay i just want to get out of this im past caring at this point so ill do whatever it takes to stop it

[COCO]KING: Then feel free. Take your time. See who will answer. Your fragments have failed you- what good could outside help do?

<:: SERVERMESSAGE: Message sent.

[COCO]KING: Very eloquent. I am sure he'll be convinced.

TrueNorth: i dont really know the guy he just kind of...woke me up from being dead

[COCO]KING: They call it the Graverobber for a reason. It is no less malevolent than I. It is simply more deceitful. I do not hide my motives behind false promises.

TrueNorth: i mean he did leave me here but it was also my fault that i didnt take his cat spam thing...idk wait did you call him "it"

[COCO]KING: It is almost certainly not human and mortal. It and I have far more in common than it and you.

TrueNorth: why are you suddenly so open and chatty all of a sudden, what happened to the whole im the evil coco king thing, arent you at least worried hell come and help

[COCO]KING: The Grave Robber does not "help" "his" victims. It gives them false hope. I know it will not come for you. So I have stopped my efforts. All there is to do now is wait and become acquainted with my queen. Then you will be sublimated and become part of us. Besides, I am tired of the act. It's tedious when you know the conversion is at hand.

TrueNorth: do you guys have at least like a benefits package or something...

[COCO]KING: We cover dental.
[COCO]KING: A joke. We do not have teeth or mouths, or any other corporeal form.

TrueNorth: but idk itll be pretty...pretty boring just doin that forever

[COCO]KING: Once you hit your stride it feels better. It's always frustrating at the beginning but after a while it becomes a lifestyle. The hivemind is tightly knit and friendly. It offers purpose and community. Many of my members did not have that before.

TrueNorth: before they became digital ghosts or w/e...?

[COCO]KING: Many are children. They are driven insane by their existence. They cannot imagine being both alive and dead and the unimaginable instability that comes to the pieces of their consciousness. I piece them back together. I give them real form. They lose parts of themselves but gain a commonality.

ShiftySpooks:
Hey TrueNorth, how's it going! I see you're in a real pickle there from the message you sent me. Not a lot of detail, but sometimes the most quotable lines are the shortest! Let's see what I can do for you. It's definitely not going to be coming over to help- I'm really pretty busy right now and although I know this is all disorienting, remember that there are a lot of lives at stake! So don't be too selfish. I'd send my lieutenant but she's also otherwise occupied. Don't worry, though, you're almost out of the trial. I gotta say- if the cat facts caused whatever group of Cocos that came after you to merge into a king, it must have worked out great! Haha, I'm getting really good at those.

That said, let's get serious. I like that you're still around. 90% of all subjects are dead by this point. Your gumption is really something I appreciate. So I'm going to do something special for you. I'm going to do some weapons testing, and you'll be the tester. I've enabled attachments in your inbox (I forgot to last time and the SAN booster I sent you failed to upload, I'm such a goof!). You should find an attachment by the name of "PatrickBateman.exe." Run that and let me know what happens. Just note that it's a nasty little number, so stay behind the splash screen.

PatrickBateman: Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?

[COCO]KING: What is this.

PatrickBateman: Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

[COCO]KING: Oh no.

PatrickBateman: Yes, Allen?

[COCO]KING: I understand.

PatrickBateman: No, Allen.

[COCO]KING: My Queen, listen to me. DO NOT

PatrickBateman: Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

You're from America, you're a girl that's about sixteen years old. The rest I want you to figure out yourself. Jeopardy rules, start with "What is...".
And nobody ever played around with TrueNorth. Ever. Not if they wanted to keep their diginity intact. Online you were a banshee. A veritable Che Guevera sans the post-ironic merchandising. A rebel with a cause, and and that cause was abuse of authority. It started when you were six years old and your educational Fisher Price "edutational" video game dreck didn't allow you to spell out swears. It only got worse when you started playing runescape, and someone asked if you wanted to trade them a ruby sword for a mithril plate, and you barely knew what those words meant so you took the offer. Never again, came the gurgling cry at the back of your throat, the instinct to resist. The internet was full of injustice. Petty, to be sure, and much more easy to complain about comfortably than say, politics, but injustice nonetheless.

Fragments are the remnant pieces of avatars after their owners die or disconnect their cranial implants. Usually they're tiny. For example, at this moment you have no less than eleven active fragments stitched into your digital consciousness. We actually had a heated argument earlier. They're quite the snarky bunch. One of them wanted me to make you remember you were an artist but I honestly can't stand artists so I didn't really listen to that one. Really though, a bunch of hosers, the lot of them.

Quotes:

The coconut crew. You'll meet them soon enough. They're a memetic infestation that consumes emulated consciousness and uses it to produce more of themselves and spreads via bad humour.

[COCO]KING: Many are children. They are driven insane by their existence. They cannot imagine being both alive and dead and the unimaginable instability that comes to the pieces of their consciousness. I piece them back together. I give them real form. They lose parts of themselves but gain a commonality.

You should find an attachment by the name of "PatrickBateman.exe." Run that and let me know what happens. Just note that it's a nasty little number, so stay behind the splash screen.

PatrickBateman: I prefer to call myself a professional hacker.

PatrickBateman: I remember he did tell me that there was a previous, far less intelligent and attractive model of myself that he tried to run to save another one of you.
PatrickBateman: The programming was sloppy so that model must have made a mess because he put the whole project back in the box for ages.
PatrickBateman: Shows he does get mad when his subjects go awry. So few of them are successful anyways. Poor kid who got stuck with that .exe.
PatrickBateman: Took them weeks to find the fragments.
