7th pokeball

[ghostytrainer]

Characters: John Egbert and YOU
Setting: Meadow floor; March 1-3
Format: either
Summary: Followup to this post. John managed to catch the soul extraction process on tape. Not wanting to expose himself any more than necessary, he avoided sharing it on the network and instead put note in everyone's mailbox. Now he's waiting to see if anybody responds.
Warnings: Probably just language

[Just as his note detailed, John can be found in the middle of the meadow floor between 1pm and 4pm on March 1st-3rd.]

[Not wanting to waste any time, he decides to train his Litwick and Zorua while waiting for people to show up by pitting them against one another in a play-battle. Yeah...experience gainage will be a slow process this way. He'll have to go monster hunting later. His Dusknoir floats at his side, arms crossed over his chest as he watches over the fight.]

[Now hopefully anybody who's here about the tape will be able to recognize him based on the dumb little doodle on his note...]

That is possible. A lot of people have been here even longer than I have, so it's possible that some past even happened that I'm not aware of. Maybe the Administrators had to come up here before and someone saw them.

[ghostytrainer]

Maybe! Might be something worth asking around about. Anyway...

[Mun has no idea where the elevator actually is but is going to assume they've been walking long enough. John comes to a stop in front of a closed elevator.]

Ta-da.

[tohko_amano]

I'll have to remember to do so later then..

[Tohko nodded as she looked at the elevator before tapping on it for a minute.]

Right..I guess no rabbit is going to pop out of there..and that no weapon can get through.

[ghostytrainer]

[A nod.]

And on top of that, even when it was open, we didn't have any actual control over the elevator. I pressed every button in there but the damn thing didn't move until it felt like it and its destination seemed to be pre-programmed on top of it.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko's actually surprised by that, but she does nod, thinking.]

I see..I guess Dax programmed it's route for you downstairs then before you got in. I suppose that means you can only operate it if you're near the operating terminals..or if you're really good with electronics.

[ghostytrainer]

[He nods.]

That seems to be the consensus. Not that any of us knew it at the time. We just figured the admins got careless or something. But I think it's safe to say you wold need some kind of super hacker to get into this thing without admin help.

[tohko_amano]

Right...finding a hacker like that shouldn't be too difficult, I should think. Thanks though..this really does help me. Out of curiosity though, what made you think that the Administrators had gotten careless?

[ghostytrainer]

Oh well...it's their elevator, right? So they're the only ones who can open it. Actually...I probably should have said "I just figured" not "we just figured", now that I think about it. At the time, I didn't know that Dax was actually a good guy so the possibility of it being done on purpose never crossed my mind.

[tohko_amano]

That's true..but they're pretty careful about things like that here, so a mistake would be weird..and I'm sorry that you had to learn that Dax was on our side at the very end like that.

[ghostytrainer]

Eh, don't be. It's not like the end result would have changed if I had known. I feel kind of bad that I lumped him in with the rest of them when that wasn't actually the case but...it's not like I ever spoke to the guy or anything. So it's whatever, I guess.

[tohko_amano]

Maybe..but it might have given you some extra hope before he died.
