Who: Lambert, Carly, YOU???
What: A basic safety lesson on what to expect in the Mainframe. Don't get derezzed deleted, kids!
When: Early morning, the day after Lambert's post about the Mainframe.
Where: Center Stage
Warnings: Carly being Carly, Lambert's potty mouth, probably.

Were you hoping to sleep in today? Tough shit. Because it's early in the morning, probably right before breakfast, that Carly's voice comes bawling over the public channel of the radio.

"Hello everyone!! We've borrowed Center Stage for an important demonstration! Earlier you may have heard something from our Nightrider Lambert that there's something really dangerous about the coming location ... so we've put together something to help display what to do in the event of the worst! So come to the Center Stage quick!"

Less enthusiastically, Lambert's rejoinder follows, drawled lazily: "Yeah, you definitely don't want to miss this show."

[ ooc: A show, ask, and mingle sort of log -- Lambert and Carly will be doing a short 'presentation' and then open up for Q&A, but feel free to start your own threads to interact with each other? Other nightrunners feel free to butt in. o7 ]

[Scout waves her big white tail.]

Is it true if anyone's turned into a slug we could bring them back and the Ringmaster could do a thing, but that'd add another year and they'd have dramatic slug changes? So don't lose anyway?

[Scout that's. That's not a question, that's conjecture.]

[insidescoop]

Well, the thing is, they seem to lose all their semblance of self as well.

So, you'd be all mindless and irrecoverable, apparently! [She pauses.] It's really best not to risk it!! Especially since if one loses, EVERYONE loses!

And that includes the people who live there already, so let's not be mean to them.

[stillwinningthehardway]

[Scout's not sure if nothing could be done. This is exactly the kind of really knotty problem smart people contract the Ringmaster for. But it's certainly beyond what ordinary workers could help with, and Scout may not have the enmity others do for their leader but that doesn't mean she really trusts her to see what the problem is and act accordingly. So she shrugs.]

Lots of damage left, yeah.

Do you want to talk about non-Game dangers or should I?

[insidescoop]

[Honestly if Scout asks her about it later when there isn't an audience, she'll point out that mostly it's to deter the guys that really...Don't care too much about the state of the world they're visiting.

Sometimes that extra YOU WILL DIE is super important!] Well, the presentation was more for the Game stuff, but I guess you could talk about those again... ...I'd sort of hoped we got those points across on the radio already...

[stillwinningthehardway]

We mostly did? I just want to say even aside from what they are, don't play with Nulls, they drain you.

I hadn't figured that out before.

[insidescoop]

EH!? Seriously, they do that? [She didn't notice; her fire magic has been manifesting as a tiny firewall, and. Well.

They sort of just looped each other whenever she touched one.] ...Uh...well, I guess that's something to watch out for then..!

Don't touch the nulls! Though that didn't happen to me...

[It helps that she wasn't touching the thing that long.]

[stillwinningthehardway]

Yeah they do that! It's not fun.

Maybe you were lucky? It kinda looks like acid damage, but in that ugly blocky way everything there is.

[insidescoop]

I guess so... [Honestly even if she took any damage it...would probably take a minute to see.] Still, it's a good warning! Thanks for that!
