When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[ From the ceiling comes the sound of shifting, as though a switch was flipped. A few moments passes, with no other noise but the sound of life on the ship. Then, suddenly, there's a beep from the ceiling. It's distant, but audible, which must speak to the volume of the noise. For those familiar with them, it might sound a lot like a computer booting up.

Each of the datapads, wherever they are, flicker. The screen blacks out, then pops back on, and when it does, a string of code passes by. For those capable of reading code, they might recognize it as coding for a surprisingly simple game. The datapads flicker once more, and then the screen that comes up alerts each of the remaining participants that something is downloading.

APPLICATION DOWNLOADING . . .
FURRY PASSING UPDATING . . .

The bar fills up, eventually, and then the application auto opens. The menu music plays at full volume.

Pygtendo Presents: Furry Passing. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[listen.

adrien is immediately loading up the app and creating his character because Of Course, though not without commenting:]

Is it me, or is everyone on this ship obsessed with "furries"?

[says the furry]

[todorable]

Excuse you, don't kinkshame. What're you even doing that's making so much noise?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he shows his datapad's screen to Totty. he finished his character customization and is in the middle of the intro "cutscene", it seems.]

Some sort of game? It downloaded automatically.

[todorable]

Looks cute, at least... What's it about?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'm not sure? I'm moving to a new town and I think they're making me their mayor?

[is he ready for such furry responsibility]

[todorable]

That sounds abrupt. Did you campaign or something? Are you here to turn this podunk town around and teach them how to dance?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Maybe I'm just that charismatic? [he plays a little bit as he speaks] I don't think these animals have a concept of politics.

[todorable]

Guess that's why they were willing to have literally the first person who showed up run their town. ...So what can you do to it? Hike tax rates? Change zoning laws? Schedule trash pick ups to only be every two weeks, even during the summer?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

What? No. [wow!!! totty!! videogame cruelty potential is REAL and he would NEVER] I'm not going to make them suffer, they believe in me!

[they are fictional animals adrien]

[todorable]

They blindly gave you that power. How else are they going to learn that they should vet their politicians? Oh--make a law that says they have to all wear uniforms!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Uniforms? What kind of dictator am I supposed to be pretending to be, a high school principal?

[todorable]

They're pretty dastardly, let's be real. Every three months, the citizens have to take math tests or else they have to pay a fine!

[thanatosincarnate]

This is extremely idiotic.

{ He'll glare at his datapad and tinker with it furiously trying to exit out of the game. }

As if I'd play a game like this.

[tevinteriscoming]

[Fiddling around with it, looking completely serious. He must be really engrossed in trying to understand how to play the game -

Oh, okay. He's just trying to reset it a bunch of times so he can get himself a more attractive looking face.]

Really? Is that supposed to be me?

[bloodbiter]

[she's trying not to laugh. it's so hard.]

It isn't so bad.

[tevinteriscoming]

It's abysmal. I don't look like that at all.

[bloodbiter]

I suppose it is missing a mustache.

[tevinteriscoming]

Yes. This game has no decent grooming choices. I should hope that's not the only difference.

[bloodbiter]

[tilts her head slightly. thinks about it very hard.]

I suppose your hairstyle looks slightly different.

[tevinteriscoming]

This is shockingly cruel behavior from you. See how you like it when your nose is represented by a red triangle.

[bloodbiter]

Perhaps it is convinced that you have a nasty cold.

[tevinteriscoming]

No, I assure you, even when I'm unwell I still manage to keep up appearances.

I think I'm being mocked.

[parodeity]

[ oh no i can't believe dave is getting hooked to a janky version of animal crossing?

yeah but there's actually no complaints from him but. he will be. playing this shit frequently and with intense focus to completing his damn furniture sets he's gonna do the thing. ]

Man, I think I would have liked whoever coded this. [ the jokes. the annoyed help text. WHERE ARE YOU, DAVE'S MISSING NEW BFF? ]

[toprotecttheworld]

All of these animals look fake.

[She's already made her first custom design. It's like she started out in the outfit.]

You all look so basic. My screen person is the best looking of all. Now, someone tell me how to steal, which buttons are for that?
