Man, that Derm guy, hey? I hear that the bulk of his atrocities stem from him trying to do things that magic doesn't actually do. That's just something I heard. From somewhere.
Also, HugoLuman is starting a new ISG? Get hyyype!

Do a jig on the spot to make sure our legs are fully functioning.
Might aswell flail our arms around to see that those work too.
Activate your bright yellow chest circuit and review your vitals.
Grab the rifle behind the cryotube then begin crawling through the vents to the AI's terminal and dismantle it.

Also ponder if you can actually hear ephermal suggestions or if that's just an IC meta-narritive response that doesn't actually exist in any meaningful respect.

Is that a door underneath the AI screen?
If it is Try to open the door and walk through it.
Drop everything and grab that towel, it might save our life if a pipe breaks and releases acid.
Also, go through the door...
Mentally ask ourselves what ISLEI stands for.
To start with, walk forwards a bit! "Huh, weird, why did I not realise that there was a wall there?"
Ooh, maybe I'm a spontaneously generated Artificial lifeform thing! That'd be cool. Hello! I became aware of myself today.
Or maybe you have some sort of TV-esque case of schizophrenia.
Also let's try left. My left or your left? Mine left appears to be your right at the moment.
Let's go for your left.
Let's go for your left.
I feel itchy. Scratch the back of my neck. No, that's not the spot. Slowly start scratching higher up on our head. Ahh.. that's the sp..huh? What's this on the back of my neck?
Realize your towel is sentient. Name it Richard.
If the AI remarks about your towel snap at it and try to shelter Richard from the cruelty of the world.
What's that thing on the back of your head? also, Fourth Wall!Now that I think about it, it might be best for us to understand her current, normal life before we start truly interfering.
im thinoing that too, thats why im only asking questions. :PWhat's that thing on the back of your head? also, Fourth Wall!Now that I think about it, it might be best for us to understand her current, normal life before we start truly interfering.
Dibs on whatever this color is!
Uhh...Hi. So you can hear us then.
To me this is just a game!I "Sing" something over these other voices that are trying to break the realization on her. If you want a specific song...how about Turnabout Sisters (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_C4yBssyoTY)?
There is a simple rule that I like to follow: If all else fails: go left.
Is it just me, or do your colours sort of clash? Maybe you are colour blind? Or I am? What colours are your items/self/the walls/air...?
It's curious that you are capable of hearing us. Have you experienced any significant neurological trauma recently?
What's that thing on the back of your head? also, Fourth Wall!
Have you ever 'heard' anything like us before today? Has anyone seen lc you known? In fact, DO you know any other people?
Onwards, Nullaria! I wonder if our voices are different. Perhaps, what do I sound like?
Maybe if I do this?
Dibs on whatever this color is!
Uhh...Hi. So you can hear us then.
Ignore other voices. They think this is a mere game without consequences.
To me this is just a game!
Realize that richard is talking to you.
"..."
He's very quiet right now.
"why are we going to hydro anyway?"
Wait did he actually talk?
Maybe you're just imagining it.
What's that thing behind the glass to the right?
I suspect that if you were in our position, you would be no less chatty. Like it or not, from our perspective we came into existance mere moments ago with no knowledge and our only ability to act at all is through communicating with you. I sincerely apologize for the inconvienience, but I hope you understand.
...Odd topics aside, I wonder what the surprise is! Let's go find out.
Allow the speech of the brainpeople to become a gentle susurrus of sound in the back of your mind, guiding your actions subtly as the wind, without your having to be distracted or confused by direct interaction.-1
Oh yeah, troublemaker here.
Happy birthday! Not all of us trust ISLEI, and honestly, I kinda don't either. The cake reminds me of something... is that a Red Forest cake? If so, back away, this could be badNo, it isn't. The cake (the one this guy is thinking of that is) was a Black Forest cake, and that cake doesn't look like this cake (https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Cake) anyway.
PTW.We are most certainly on a high-tech base of sorts, but where is a mystery.
Not sure who else has thought of this, but the presence of what I assume are hydroponics and the shape of the corridor makes me think we're on a space station of some sort.
It's your day, Laria. Don't let us, whoever we are, interfere.
(Smell the cake for poison. If smells safe, start with a small nibble, and savor it.
*sigh*
I apologize for the...Religiously fervent suspicion of the AI some of my compatriots have undertaken. It's a bit memetic.
Happy birthday, by the way.
...I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO DEPLOY THE IMAGE IN A FORUM GAME?!?! YISSSS
Sorry. The memes are getting away with me too. But different ones.Spoiler: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM BAY12FORUMS (click to show/hide)
Blow out the candles and wish for something!
Candle wish! Candle wish!
Happy cakeday, now blow out the candles. Don't pay heed that according to the candles, you're 12 years old.
Eat, but eat in moderation. Enjoy, but do not indulge.
Oh yeah and don't eat too much cake.
Also, make sure to get a plate.

Has ILSEI ever mentioned this 'twelve is important' thing before?Theeeeeeiiiiiiiiisssssss!
"I'm not insane!"Well, the standards of sanity depend upon culture, and we seem a bit alien to this little world, so I expect we are all rather a bit off by local standards...
"Hi! I'm another voice in your head. I'm Gwolfski. Don't believe the other's I'm not insane! heh heh"
"Don't believe the other's"
"other's"
"'s"He's insane! Don't believe him!
(Yes. I've just been stricken by bronchitis this week)Shit has just gotten serious on the star base.
a tealy glow from me may be less loud?
Im moony. We're sorry about being so loud.
I'm surprised you can hear us, however. And that you can see images we send...#include <iostream>
int main() {
cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;
}
Happy birthday.
Oh good grief. Can all of you other people stop being paranoid? This is not a GLaDOS situation.
...Hmm. So URLs are 'loud'. That's interesting.
I'm tempted to speculate but honestly I'm not at full operational capacity right now.
Well, as a professional head - voice, I think that we should all intro duce ourselves. I am Imic. Hang on, did it just hpget kind of ... Eerie? In here? Is that just me?
If we're doing introductions, to all of these people I'm known as TheBiggerFish, TBF or Fish for short.
"I am endlessblaze
Puppyguard here!
"Ah yes and I am RAM."
"Hi! I'm another voice in your head. I'm Gwolfski. Don't believe the other's I'm not insane! heh heh"
A good description would probably be 'Happy, but inexplicably crowded.'
I hate to rain on the introductions parade but this probably isn't the best time - imminent, important decision time here. Whilst both lying and telling the truth seem equally risky to me I doubt we'll be able to persuade 'Laria to pull off the former with enough conviction, so I'm personally in favour of the truth, at least to some extent. Derm's suggestion seems reasonable enough so I'll support that.
And, er, 'Laria, quick question - Has ILSEI ever mentioned this 'twelve is important' thing before?
"Do not eat the cake."
Eat the cake.
Mushrooms, yes or no? Why?Remember, Laria; don't do drugs.
Is being a grown-up something to worry about?and this
"Perhaps ask her what other things she has planned for today?"are good places to start.
I think you should try your best to articulate how you're feeling right now. If you're uncertain, it's alright to tell ILSEI that you aren't sure. You should also express your concern about her being worried.
Asking questions like thisIs being a grown-up something to worry about?and this"Perhaps ask her what other things she has planned for today?"are good places to start.
If you eat the cake, take very small bites slowly. Savor it while it lasts.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous to eat cake with a knife?""Nonsense! It's perfectly safe! Just gotta stab 'em with the pointy end."
Why not ask for a Philosophy Lesson! On the subject of Free Choice and Governing Will!
We should stab more people instead!That is a bit vague, could you narrow it down a bit? I mean, you could have "stabbing more people in your daily life" but that would be all theory, due to the shortage of other people. Or maybe "getting into situations to stab people" which would focus more on locating people and stabbing implements and acquiring close proximity to the two at once. "Stabbing people as a profession" is another option... But perhaps the most important of all is "returning to your prior circumstances after stabbing someone" as, ultimately, if you can't do that then your stabbing potential is finite, or at least requires endlessly extrapolating a stabbing incident from whatever new circumstances you encounter... Really, it would be nice if we could keep our suggestions clear, concise, and actionable.
