ugh
you dont know that, though
maybe you wont
maybe there is something else in your future

i used to think that i was going to die, too

[key_illusion]

If you say so. [Though he knows better, and he'd rather not get into the fine details.]

Something happened to you back home or are you talking about here.

[nukeoleptic]

ive died a couple of times back home
but even now, none of us really know what the future holds
or if the game we are playing is even winnable
we cant give up hope, though

[key_illusion]

[Wait, what?]

So you're stuck in a game?

[nukeoleptic]

[ Oh noooo, she should have left this alone. ]

yes and no
mostly no!!!
we started a video game
but its actually real life

[key_illusion]

[He's...slightly disappointed.]

That sounds confusing. If you entered the data-scape, it would make more sense.

[nukeoleptic]

what is a data-scape?

[key_illusion]

It's hard to explain, but it's easier to say it's the world inside digital space. The world of data, basically.

[nukeoleptic]

so like
inside a computer...

[key_illusion]

Yes, but it's a little more complex than that. It's also based around a record of memories as well.

[nukeoleptic]

whose memories?

[key_illusion]

People from my universe. It's a very small group of people though.

[nukeoleptic]

that sounds... really complicated

[key_illusion]

Not as complicated as a video game taking over real life.

[nukeoleptic]

it didnt really TAKE OVER real life
it was just.. real life

[key_illusion]

So real life is really a video game? Or you're living in a video game?

[nukeoleptic]

its like....
the video game was real life?
like weh this is dumb
it augmented real life
things changed but it wasnt like we stepped inside a video game
the video game just changed the way the world worked a little

[key_illusion]

It sounds unnecessarily complicated.

But cool.

[nukeoleptic]

if it makes you feel better
your world seems unnecessarily complicated to me, too

[key_illusion]

It's more complicated for necessary reasons though since it's a system.
