DAY :027

[A day after the new arrivals show up and before anyone has really had a chance to settle in, every member of the nest gets an Extranet message at the exact same time from an untraceable source. It doesn't show up in your inbox; instead it opens in another window - don’t mistake it for a pop-up because if you close it, then you won’t be able to respond in line. The chat window's cursor blinks at you as the words scroll across, line by line; the message is accompanied by an unblinking blue eyeball avatar:]

XSome kind of brain trust you areX.

XWe've seen you sticking your noses where they don't belongX.

XOf course, they're not really your noses, are theyX?

XRemind us again: what it is that you think you’re trying to doX?




((ooc: feel free to use this post to respond in-line to EXTRAAA, as well as chat with other hosts via the mental-link or personal interactions. please be aware that this post has a time limit and all responses from extraaa will cease end of day 8/19; this doesn't mean you can't continue to tag this post afterward, just that extraaa will likely have gone silent by that point))

[ Aoba isn't believing or falling for it. Not at first, anyway. He's had his share of cyber scares at home. It reminds him of that spam he kept getting on his coil, the retro game that targeted him and his grandmother directly. It's probably like that, except... this time the option to reply is there. But before he does, he has to check with the others, any of them- ]

This is a prank, right? Who is doing this?

[ He keeps his tone gentle, not wanting to be too invasive despite the vague accusation. Even if he is, at least his voice is nice to listen to. ]

( I don't think it's a prank. But I don't think we should answer it with any real information. )

[ When in doubt, stonewall the intruders. ]

Well of course not... even if it's not serious.

[ There's a soft mantra of please don't be serious, please don't be serious playing in the background. Pranksters he can deal with. Actual threats, though... ]

I've seen something like this before. We need to be careful.

[ A quick clarification, just in case- ]

It's nothing that happened within the Nest.

[ -before he continues just as seriously. ]

I was baited by someone sending me a game, over and over until I opened it. The game showed my grandmother being kidnapped. When I got home, she was gone.

[ Well, that's disconcerting. ]

( They might keep sending questions. ) [ Though Bellamy doesn't expect any direct, physical attacks. ] ( But I think it's the same. I think they're trying to bait us into telling them more about ourselves. )

[ Aoba doesn't expect any physical attacks either. Not while they're still engaging this troll, anyway. But he does fear them being attacked eventually. It already happened at the gaming parlor. ]

I hope it's just questions. Those we can avoid answering... I won't let myself be baited again.

...

Good luck.

[ Useless, but also mildly relieving it's not Petre pulling pranks. Don't be an embarrassment to what's left of your brood, kid. ]

Alright, well... if you try to say anything to it, just be careful.

[personal profile] vocalis 2016-08-16 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
No, just-

...

Don't say anything stupid, or share any information.


[ Perhaps this advice is coming too late... or it's just useless trying to begin with. ]

I didn't call you stupid, I just said-

[ No. No. Aoba has to stop, take a breath, and gently remind himself to not get into two arguments with two trolls. But he can't stop the sigh that escapes his mouth and mind as he attempts to close the proverbial door on their connection again. ]

Right. Duh. Sorry.

( I forgive you. )

[ Said haughtily, like it's actually meant to provoke Aoba. Not that he thinks it necessarily will. ]
