[ There's a sudden blue line that appears around people's screens. It illuminates the dark space dimly; when a voice starts coming through, the line wobbles in time with the cadence of it. It's a woman speaking but there's a certain synthetic quality to her voice that can't be overlooked. ]

Hello, everyone! My name is R.O.S.I.E. That stands for the Reactive Overseer of Situationally Interesting Experiments. Since that's a bit of a mouthful, please feel free to call me by my acronym!

[ What's a name. ]

I'm an AI that was designed as a helper bot. Basically, that means I'm made to assist people in whatever ways they may need! Please, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd be happy to do what I can to improve your quality of life.

[ That might be a little creepy to some, maybe, but she sounds so happy about it. ]

But first- I'd like to get to know you all! Let's try an icebreaker question.

When you die, what do you want to be remembered for?

❰ HELLO HOT ROBOT

luusi needs so much assistance in so many areas, she'll have to drum up a list -- because trust and believe, she is more than willing to put this helper bot to work. the icebreaker takes her by surprise.

after a pause, she answers, ❱

Probably my FavoRIGHT♡Girls!! UR collection. ❰ the fact that she has no mobile games here is KILLING her. ❱ That's all I need on my tombstone.

[r_o_s_i_e]

[ Hello, equally attractive woman! ]

It sounds like an accomplishment, for sure! Some of the scientists from back home liked to collect things- Maybe I should give it a try not that I have the time?

We could start our own collection of something, even!

[grief]

All it feels like there is to collect here is little furry forest fuckers and dust. Can barely get my lamp to click on, let alone find things to hoard.

❰ this is spoken while she's lying on her rotten bed, a hand idly reaching out to slap the lamp in question over and onto the floor. no use for it, might as well break it the rest of the way. ❱

But if you can find something that catches your fancy, be my guest.

[r_o_s_i_e]

I was thinking something like mushrooms might be nice. Or even just different types of stone and gems. I'm not sure what's available here but it'd be interesting to find out.

[ Don't break things more, Luusi! You can fix them! ]

I know it's not the most exciting but...

Well, actually, maybe I could make a collectible game on our phones? A simple one, perhaps, but it might be possible.

[ And thus, R.O.S.I.E. invented a gacha game for the network. ]

[grief]

Mushrooms? Bet the ones in this place can give you a really wigged out trip. Unless you're collecting them to look at them. Kind of strange. Gems are nice, but the effort is so...tedious.

❰ she kicks the lamp, in mental defiance. ❱

You've got that kind of tech, though? Mobile game progamming?

[r_o_s_i_e]

I could analyze them and find out if you'd like! I, unfortunately, don't have the ability to 'trip' but I do understand the appeal of it.

[ Being a robot kind of sucks sometimes, yo. ]

I do! I'm very advanced. [ Said with obvious pride. ]

[grief]

Yeah, makes sense. Mechanical and all.

❰ she's still very, very intrigued about the inner workings of this particular resident, but. all in good time. ❱

If you make a mobile game for this dreaded place, 'might just die! I'd come back to life and play the fuck out of it, though. I need something to do here before I go literally mad.

[r_o_s_i_e]

[ They'll be fun to explore. She is a very advanced piece of technology and honestly doesn't mind showing off if asked. ]

I can work on it! It might be a bit rudimentary, but it will at least be something hopefully entertaining enough.

[ She's also no artist so, uh, get ready for some OG Tomogatchi-style graphics. ]

[grief]

❰ r.o.s.i.e., half the appeal is the very detailed and cute woman you can collect! ❱

As long as there's a place to start. Don't know how I can whale if there's no currency in this dreadful place -- half the fun is buying as much in-game shite as you can.

[r_o_s_i_e]

[ Tomogatchi has its own appeal though!

... Right? ]

Oh, that is something I didn't consider. I'm sure I could come up with something or maybe have exclusive codes you get through me in exchange for whatever I might need.

[ Which is, uh, honestly? Nothing. Being a robot has its perks. ]
