Yes you, moron! You think we can't see that flimsy disguise? You just paused.

What disguise. [Marching over; ...yeah he's not even trying to act like a girl.]

...Wow, at least you manage to sound like her.

I don't. [Dear god, he hopes he doesn't.]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, you got it going pretty well now.

Was there a reason to call me over?

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
To see if it was you or not, of course. ...You're not the Cloud I know though. I think.

[identity profile] nilradiance.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from Radiant Garden. Haven't talked to you before. ...Unless you're switched as well.

The writer. [...yes, Haruki. KH!Cloud remembers you for that dirty fic of his other self and a married woman, apparently.]

I'm not a writer, I'm the chief of the SOS-Brigade.

after the mun realizes he should have heard of that by now ...

[identity profile] nilradiance.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
The name's misleading.

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
How is that misleading? It's the Spreading Excitement All Over the World With Haruki Suzumiya Brigade.

SOS-Brigade for short.

[This face says exactly what he thinks of that name.

I dunno. Nothing happened to me last time there was an experiment either.

Jeez. Guess you get to be special-immune.

I can only hope so. I'm just worried that they're saving something big for me. Not that I know why they would, but I don't really get any of this, so I can't disregard the possibility.

[Voice]

Nah, they don't look at people so individually; John's said as much before.

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. That's a relief then. Guess they just didn't draw my name from the hat.

[Voice]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, or maybe you're naturally immune to whatever they did. I mean I've been skipped on a few things before.

[Voice]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's an interesting theory. The first one I skipped was the thing where people responded to commands automatically... I guess I could be more strong-minded than I realize. I was working on something Naoya suggested I should do, so maybe I was affected without realizing it, but he said I should do it before the experiment started, so I doubt it.

This one... I have no idea what would make someone immune to body switching.

[Voice]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Could be a brainwave pattern thing, right? I mean you happen to have an ESP code ending in a 3 and that makes you immune.

[Voice]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-09-27 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I... guess so? I don't know my... ESP code.

Well it might be important as to how the aliens work here, but it's not as vital as say-

[WAVE of course!] Hoy!

You ever wondered about those tunnels?

[Action]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, now that you mention it. But I figured pits were generally... not places you should go exploring when you're in a weird place like this.

[Action]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well there's a roper-ladder. C'mon.

[And with that. Marching to the pit and urging Atsuro to be the first on the rope ladder to cover the fifteen or so feet down]

There's two laptops. Right there and plugged into the wall]

[Atsuro gasps at the sight of the computers. There is a God! And he doesn't hate him! He rushes over to one of them, blowing a little dust from the keyboard. As ecstatic as he is to see them, he needs to know why Haruki brought him here.]

What are these doing here?

[Action]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
These laptops are here to allow us to post on the network thing the journals have a post which is filtered completely away from the Malnos- the Organization that runs the barrier. John left 'em here for us. Naturally though 'cus it's a big secret, no one talks about them.

[A cough to clarify action and then...]

You're going to hack the protection on them.

[Action]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
...You're amazing, Haruki. I'll have them done as quickly as possible. [Laptop number one finishes booting, and a few keystrokes later he's got the command prompt going. He's in reading mode right now, analyzing the specs of the OS they're running on. Once again, not entirely normal by his time's standards, but workable. Principles are always the same, and he just needs to alter his code appropriately. Once he's satisfied with his analysis, he starts testing a few pieces of code he has burnt into his memory, just to see what works and what doesn't.]

[Action]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Going by the mod statements The main purpose of these computers here is to run the program which lets you post on [livejournal.com profile] lucetilocked and see the journal posts on the network in a way ultimately similar to how we might on Lj. The thing is, the computer by default is locked to only run that program, with a code hiding the desktop and all that under it. The code locking the thing is supposed to be ridiculously complex, so it's not all that dissimilar to how the COMP functions were locked.

Under that, the OS is unique as you said but in practice the browser isn't all that unlike Windows XP or Vista, and the only programs on it are basic ones like notepad or word or paint or whatever. It also has a wireless signal and can receive other wireless signals (like KAITO got into it) but obviously you can't see them because right now it's locked to merely the journal program.

I am aware this is long and convoluted but I'm following the intel I got off the mods.

Haruki, for his part, is going to lean against the wall there and grunt]


Are we talking a few minutes thing, or a few hours?

[Action]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-10-09 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He hesitates before answering Haruki, staring at the readout of code on the screen. The surface protections are fairly easy, but time-consuming. If they're making the protection harder as they go along (which seems appropriately dramatic), this won't be a quick job at all. Not by any means impossible, but he's not going to make Haruki wait here with him.]

Probably a few hours at the least. I'll only know what's on each layer of protection once I get through the one before it. I'll let you know over the journals once I'm done?

[Action]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-10-09 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Dramatic, but he expected that, so he nods]

Right. Just don't take these things out of this room.

[And with that, he's going to MANLY PAT Atsuro on the shoulder before shrugging out of the room now that they have an understanding]

[Voice]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-10-11 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy manly displays of mutual trust or something like that. DOOT DOOT DOO A BILLION (five or six (if that's cool I dunno how long this stuff takes)) HOURS LATER, he's done.]

Haruki! I'm finished.

[And by now, he's making dinner back home feel free to notice the apron. He pauses there before rummaging to find the journal and then talks into it while he stirs this pasta]

Hah. Excellent!

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-10-12 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nice apron, I think mine's the same one. There's... not much to see. On the surface, anyway. It just seems like a normal OS. Nothing worth protecting with code like that, which means that has to be hidden deeper somewhere. Do you want me to do some digging?

[Voice]

[identity profile] god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com 2009-10-12 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Even a normal computer's a break-through for here, right? You can try to dig deeper on your own time, but for now - what kinda programs it got on it?

[Voice]

[identity profile] controlroute.livejournal.com 2009-10-13 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Basic stuff. Really basic. Paint, notepad, system tools... not much else.
