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 ]

It's alright~ We were sort of focusing on games that have that sort of thing, I'll admit...when it comes to the others after all, it'll be a test of skill, and there's not much we can do to defend against that other than trust in how we 'reboot' in.

Oh!! But as for timing..! [She beams.] After some asking around, we managed to determine that time in the game should move a lot faster than inside the Mainframe..! It's a bit like how we can all be working here while time doesn't pass at home!

Time will still pass in the Mainframe of course, but a lot slower..! Or at least, depending on what the game is of course.

[ He nods. That makes sense. And he's also secretly relieved, because no race against the clock. That makes everything so much more straightforward. ]

So, it means for example, if we stay in the Game for like, an hour, maybe ten minutes has passed in the Mainframe? Or is it less of a gap than that?

[ Fell free to correct him if he's wrong? ]

[fortuneglass]

Well.... [She crosses her arms.] That's the thing, it could be anything. Only about ten minutes should probably pass in the Mainframe, I'm sure...but it could feel like as long as a few days depending on what kind of game we're stuck in..!

[walkonedge]

[ So essentially, it all depends on what game they end up being chucked into. ]

Okay, one last question. [ He folds his arms. Really, the only reason why he's asking is because he's noticed that his eyes have started to change colour in the mirror this morning. ]

I know rebooting changes how you look and everything when you're in the game, but when happens after?

You go back to normal! [Duh.] Once the game is over, the program will reset; the devices will bring you back to your original state, the end!
