Palace of Greed, El Dorado (Library of Ruina)

Reader mode
[X] A Walk in The Park. What better way to spend your day other than shopping? Shopping for food, there is! Well, you can also shop for something else, but you know where the real good stuff is. Anyway, point is, it's not everytime you can just go into the rich neighborhood of the Backstreets, and here you can expand your palate (as the rich would say it). Anyway, there's a strip of shops nearby here. It's pretty safe on the account of the Zwei. Tori's willing to pay some, but you gotta chip in a little still. [A Culinary (And Rich) Experience. Costs 50,000 Ahn. Upon Unlock, Cooking Skill receives a Bonus 150XP. Window Shops.]

This sounds eerily like the Exam distortion Moses ran into, though even if it were I don't really know how we would begin to handle that. Not like Moses ever cures anyone.

Codex: Hello Corporation
  • Informational
    • Hello Corporation -- Connect the World

    Before there was a Hello Corporation, another "H" Wing stood in its place -- but one thing led to another, and that Wing fell following the destruction of its Headquarter (and the death of their key members). The Fall of a Wing isn't something one might call common, but it's just something that happens. But that's neither here, nor there. From its ashes, Hello Corporation took the Fallen Wing's Mantle, and became the new Wing of District 8.

    Within months, District 8 was restructured -- and arguably, still is -- though it would be more accurate that it was the Nest that received the major of the attention, and what happened to the Backstreets was a trickle down effect. Well, such restructuring would take time, so maybe it's only a matter of time before the Wing turns its gaze onto the Backstreets? But before, what exactly was being restructured? Well, to understand that, one must understand Hello Corporation's Singularity: Communication. Connect the World -- that is their motto. Wide-ranging, all-reaching, unrestrained, and completely unobstructible. The City, united all at once, reaching full understanding. Simply calling it communication would be an understatement. They are a Wing, after all.

    Of course, what they're offering, and how they're using it is an entirely different matter. Entertainment. Specifically, movies, and television, and radios, and podcasts. Action, and comedy, and thriller, and horror. Reality Shows. Those sort of entertainment. It's Culture. Which returns to the restructuring of Nest H. Flashy neon lights, and skyscrapers with humongous screens plastered on them, running ads, and trailers of the new, and the old, and classic movies, or series. Home for aspiring actors, and actresses; directors, and producers, and managers. Everywhere you go, you'll find something to enjoy. People walk these streets, earphones attached into their ears, eyes on their portable screens, or closed listening to their podcasts, and radios. Cinemas, and theaters, and studios, and cinema theaters studios line the streets. Those of "classical" tastes would rent floors on high-rise buildings, looking down on the Backstreets proper, watching the real raw action. Pop references replaced by newer pop references, and old pop references quickly phased out, or considered niche and classic.

    In Nest H, people smile, and laugh seemingly without worry. They live their lives to the fullest, enjoying, and consuming entertainment -- even as they work themselves to the bones, they'll always have something to talk about with each other, something to enjoy, and listen, and watch. Connected.

    Connect the World, that's the motto of Hello Corporation, written personally by its CEO.

    In the Backstreets, Rentals begin to pop up, and Cinemas start to be built. Cameras, recorders, television, and radios being sold at varying prices. Tapes, and CDs. Turn on a Radio, and you can listen to almost a hundred of stations for free -- more, if you open a subscription. Look into the newsletters, and you can select podcasts to personally sign into. There are new scholarship programs replacing the ones from the old H Corp -- no longer are they searching for bright scientists, and researchers, or engineers (though some engineers are still looked into), now they search for artists. Actors, and actresses. Brilliant creative minds. Directors with a vision. Writers. Sensationalists. Visionaries.

    Connect the World.

    • ...That doesn't sound good. Oh, sure the face of it is pretty amazing. But this the City. There's a twist and with something like that, it can't be anything good.

    I'd wager their Singularity is Internet On Steroids.

    So they probably have great information gathering possibilities if anything. What they do with the info is up to anyone's guess. Probably sell it, but that isn't nefarious enough.

    Maybe Mental Conditioning on a global scale.

    On a random note, they also have their own "Fixers". They have a bodycam on them going active all the time. They're there as the Corp's Guards, doing corp stuff. But more in general, they just do Fixer stuffs, going into the streets -- people in high places can actually gain live feed stream on their bodycam, and they could donate money into their account to tell them to do silly shit. More money they give, the more extreme the Fixer has to go. "Kill that kid over there," one Donator would say after donating a seriously high amount, and the Fixer would be obligated to do it.

    They're called Streamers.

    ... I'm joking, of course. This is just a joke. These people don't exist.

    Unless.

    Hello Corporation is actually pretty fast and loose with their copyright stuff. Stuffs get into the "public domain" pretty quick-ish and so long as you don't straight up plagiarize shit, you can pretty much do anything.

    Edit: 'course, just because the Corp won't do anything, doesn't mean the individual people involved wouldn't take arms themselves, but that's less a Nest H thing, and more a City thing.

    Ah, drat. Foiled again. I do think that next time we visit Sun she'll be singing "Let It Go" under her nose now though.

    ...I blanked out while writing that and almost wrote "Let It Rip". Work sure was tiring today.
