The Archives

it's just... the archives really... tell me if you find anything worth archiving in the facility... thanks

[employee070]

Intro?

hmm... yeah I guess I'll call that an intro of sorts... I was made aware of this platform by another employee while in the break room, so I thought I could... give it a try too? especially since it might be easier to communicate with everyone? Even though I... don't talk that much because of my position... as the Archivist, I take notes and add stuff in the archives really... I'm mostly a spectator of all there is to happens in here or... out of bounds if I can say that...

But enough of my rambling...

This is the Archives, my humble "domain" or office if you want to call it that, despite its size.... Here I keep track of all that I find to archive and well, archive them. Employee, entity, objects, or even places, you'll find it and could even access it if you need. Yet I euhm... not all of them are accessible to everyone... and the "Archives" aren't really happy if anyone tries to snoop around to access something they aren't allowed to... so you are warned. Just... please don't try this, they aren't as forgiving as I am....

Anyway, euhm... You can ask me things, I guess, or you can help me by telling me if you find anything worth archiving, I'd appreciate it... You have no idea how hard it is to do it on your own....

Ooh and euhm... here's my ID too, I know it looks a little old but heh... I've had it for as long as I remember... even when I asked for the new one, the higher-ups denied my request :'/

This is an RP blog for the Employeerverse, happily brought to you by @lexumpysfunland :D Yeah I always arrive a little later for these kinds of things, but I'm trying... I might tie this to other things too... who knows 👀

[tspstuff]

let's see how far I'll get with this one

Aka if I'll leave it this messy or clean up eventually even though I only got 40 seconds of 2:30 or something

Characters in this so far are: @employee727 from @beetr00tsoup, @employee070 from @lexumpy and @employee-285 and @employee-742 my guys

edit: Ye 070 is in this cuz I STILL wanted to draw them and YES there's plenty of more spots 😭

You have received the following product: time

-Employee 597

"Time.... how specific... is there another breach happening, or is it just... something else?..."

He fell silent, thinking for a moment. If anything, he felt like time had no meaning to him. How long has it been since his first memory? 50 years? 70 years? How could he know..? Even if it exists in this dimension, it only goes. never stopping for anyone, anything... so why would he be gifted such things? unless it would be to get to his head, cause something he doesn't want to...

070 closed the box, but it's odd. Why is he angry? Is it really him, or just part of himself he doesn't recognize after so much time has passed? He feels a headache coming up as he tries to gather his thoughts... but it's as if his time has split in two, his thoughts split with it. He can think straight; everything is divided in his head. Like two people fighting, his headache grew worse. It's so loud, it hurts. 070 is about to pass out, but it all stopped. It becomes all so clear now... a voice split in two, as if overlapping another coming from him as well.

[employee597]

I...am truly sorry about what happened. Are you okay?

There is no breach this time, at least this not due to a breach. I was trying to have more time, to put more time in the office. So I can stay a bit longer. Until they eventually reach out to me.

[employee070]

He seemed a little lost. Looking at 597, it took him a moment to finally talk.

No breach huh? that's... hmm...

He reached a hand to his temple, like it would help get rid of what was left of the headache. It felt weird, yet he still felt it, the second time. Still there, lingering in his head as he spoke, it happened again. Two voices overlapping, one more honest than the other.

He sighed, looking back at 597 he tried to smile shyly.

aah... s-sorry...

[employee597]

I'm sorry 070. Time is not something I can take back. I could send you the absence of time, or painkillers, if you think any of those might help.

597 seems confused at the question.

I am unsure what you are talking about, or what those other subjects you are mentioning are, can you tell me more. As for why I sent you this, well...

They pause for a moment, unsure of what to say. There was not actual reason was it? It just...had to be done? If it hadn't been done, if they hadn't put more time everywhere, more time to finish work, more time to escape it, the higher-ups would have sent the mail already wouldn't have they? Now it might have been delayed enough, they might have caught up on work, done enough with the printer blood to avoid...

I... am actually unsure. It is weird, I am sorry, I don't really know how to explain it. You are not the only one who received it though, it was not personal. It's just... it had to be done I guess.

They mumble the last line, not fully aware of what they are saying:

Time keeps me safe.

[employee070]

I... I'm alright now... though this would make for a rather... interesting addition to my life, I'll say... the effects for now are relatively minor, so I don't... think it'll be a bother that much...

He gently scratches the back of his head, listening to 597. he was already thinking of testing a little his new condition.... maybe adding something to another case too... 597 seemed to make him question their very purpose. "it had to be done" ? Is that so? Why on sweet eternity would they ask for something to be done? 070 seemed confused and slightly irritated by 597's responses. This time, the second voice was barely above a whisper.

You... really? I don't understand why you would be told to deliver more time in our already chaotic "realm"... it's...quite surreal...

He frowns slightly. Something was off here, more than usual at least. 070 stood silently as he was trying to think about what was happening on a larger scale now...

[employee597]

Alright, if you say so...

597 pauses, questionning itself.

There is nothing that I'm hidding, it's just... I don't really understand where you want to do with those questions, I already told you that I did not have a choice in here, and I didn't knew the exact reason, why do you keep pushing?

It stops, realising it was almost screaming. Well, those last few days have been exhausting, so maybe that's just that. But still, 070's comment feels weird. As if it had a part of truth in it somehow.

I'm sorry. I wasn't willing to... I should probably get going, letting you rest.

[employee070]

070 seemed surprised as the other started to yell. Unsure how to respond, he watched silently, waiting for the other to be done, or calm down...yet he caused it. feeling a mixture of guilt and anger, he still managed to apologize

sorry... I... I didn't mean to sound like this... I don't understand this either... I just... it just comes out and...

He brought his hands to the sides of his head, massaging his temples for a moment

It shouldn't be here, yet it is... I feel how "it" feels at the same time, piling onto my own... so a part of me is angry at you... but I don't want to be...

I should... go study that and ... document it...

He then quietly went to the archives to gather things and test this unusual new condition...

[employee597]

I...am truly sorry about what happened. Are you okay?

There is no breach this time, at least this not due to a breach. I was trying to have more time, to put more time in the office. So I can stay a bit longer. Until they eventually reach out to me.

[employee070]

He seemed a little lost. Looking at 597, it took him a moment to finally talk.

No breach huh? that's... hmm...

He reached a hand to his temple, like it would help get rid of what was left of the headache. It felt weird, yet he still felt it, the second time. Still there, lingering in his head as he spoke, it happened again. Two voices overlapping, one more honest than the other.

[employee070]

You have received the following product: time

-Employee 597

"Time.... how specific... is there another breach happening, or is it just... something else?..."

He fell silent, thinking for a moment. If anything, he felt like time had no meaning to him. How long has it been since his first memory? 50 years? 70 years? How could he know..? Even if it exists in this dimension, it only goes. never stopping for anyone, anything... so why would he be gifted such things? unless it would be to get to his head, cause something he doesn't want to...

070 closed the box, but it's odd. Why is he angry? Is it really him, or just part of himself he doesn't recognize after so much time has passed? He feels a headache coming up as he tries to gather his thoughts... but it's as if his time has split in two, his thoughts split with it. He can think straight; everything is divided in his head. Like two people fighting, his headache grew worse. It's so loud, it hurts. 070 is about to pass out, but it all stopped. It becomes all so clear now... a voice split in two, as if overlapping another coming from him as well.

[employee597]

597 goes back to their office, still draging @employee172 along. They push aem to sit onto a chair, before sitting in front of aem.

Now, you should have received both some help for your foot, and consequences for your action. To determine how the printer blood may have affected you, I will have you go through a few tests. To start, please answer the following questions:

Employee number?

Function?

How long have you been working in this office?

What exactly do you do in this office?

What is the first memory you can recall?

What are your thoughts on eternity?

What time is it currently?

What do you feel in your foot?

Please describe the following emotions: anger, sadness, happiness, hope, fear, love, dread

What are your thought on eternity?

What is your employee number?

What is your function?

Describe how your desk is organised.

[employee172]

Oh boy…

Employee number is 172, and my function is… to be the janitor??

I think I started working here around. Um.. Good question actually..

I mostly clean up 918’s glitter. And take care of the rats.

Eternity terrifies me. Surely we won’t be here forever?

Uhhhh I don’t have a watch so I’m not sure what time it is…

My foot HURTS. What on earth even is this thing??? It sure doesn’t feel like a normal foot.

Anger is temporary, sadness is eternal, happiness is expected, hope is both powerful and fragile, fear is consuming, love is an interpretation, and dread is unavoidable.

Eternity isn’t possible. I mean surely nothing can exist forever.

172

To mop

I don’t really have a desk, I’m just the janitor. The broom closet is usually pretty organized, though.

[employee597]

No, this is not what I asked you. I asked you to describe how the emotions feel, not what you think of them. Do you think you can try again?

Don't worry about the foot by the way, once this is done, it will feel normal again.

[employee172]

Hmmmm. Anger is angry, sadness is sad, happiness is happy, hope is hopeful, fear is fearful, and dread is dreadful

[employee597]

Interresting.

They quickly take notes on a notebook. 172 can quickly read the following before they move away: 'Emotions seems impacted, to the exception of fear. Maybe a case of PEOS? Will have to experiment with the...'

For the next test, you will have to stay here for some time.

They hand xem a stack of paper and ka pen.

Please write without stopping what comes to your mind. I will be back in a few hours.

They point at a camera fixed to the ceiling.

I will be watching you.

[employee172]

Wow…. I can’t even remember writing all this. Hopefully 597 will come back soon. Its office is kind of boring.

[employee597]

597 comes back in the office, looking annoyed. They grab the notebook and start to read it, not showing any emotion at the mention of their employee number.

Interesting. You know what else is interesting?

They pause for a second, considering the best way to say that.

I've heard you playing games with 784 and 111. Now that wouldn't be a big deal, but in case you aren't aware, my office and 111's office are separated by 4 floors, and you still managed to talk to them as if they were in the same room.

I'll have to run a few more tests, especially a blood test.

Without any warning, they draw some blood from you, storing the samples for analysis.

I will be back soon to give you the results, but I'm afraid we'll have to do blood replacement therapy. In the meantime, please continue writting in the notebook.

[employee172]

Bloo- BLOOD REPLACEMENT THERAPY?!?

Yikes.

Any shot I could get some coffee while I wait??

[employee597]

They come back to their office a few hours later, holding a stack of paper.

Didn't have time to get coffee, but I can make you a tea if you want.

Now, the results are not as bad as expected. By destroying your foot, the printer ink only mildly impacted you, which is great news. You have already experienced some emotional disconnect with a very mild lost of your sense of self. It is unclear whether or not it will come back on its own, as both cases have been documented, so you will have a weakly checkup, and specific therapy might be implemented. Apparitions and hallucinations are common as well. This is nothing too worrying but will have to be monitored in the next few days. The only new thing is that ability of yours to communicate through long distances that seem to have appeared with this. It seems harmless enough and does not constitute a reason to keep you here any longer than necessary, but a monitoring will be required as well, and I'm sure @employee070 will be happy to note those new observations in the database.

So, we will now proceed with the blood replacement therapy, and after that, I will let you go back to your work. Your foot will be done growing in around a week, but in the meantime, I would suggest taking it easy.

They leave the office for a few minutes, and come back holding a large container labelled 'Employee 172 blood'.

Do you have any further questions?

[employee172]

….ability to communicate across long distances, you say?

(I’m sorry everyone, it must be done)

This is definitely for science. Yup.

[employee070]

*he lifted his head up from his work as he heard the voice. Confused but somehow he had a hunch on what it was...*

Huh? That's... Interesting. Is it what I think it is? Hmm... Better write this down just in case...

*he opened a folder and started to take some new observation down...*

Do you have any further questions?

[employee597]

Hey @employee070 I might actually have another mystery for you. I had those little pets that people always thought they were kind of weird (I thought they were cute personally), and they seemed... I don't know how to explain this, but half-existent? If I'm making any sense. They are gone now, I haven't seen them since the incident with the supplies so I'm really scared whoever did this took them as well, especially since no one saw them since, but I have been wondering where they came from, as they did not come from the supplies at first. Have you seen something similar in the archives? And also, do you know if there is a way I could find them? Like tracking them down perhaps? I know it sounds silly, but I really do miss them

[employee070]

Hey! ... I think I see what you're talking about... yet I haven't seen any of those recently. Maybe they're just in hiding ..? I wish, at least... I can try to look into it if you wish, but I don't guarantee I'll find any of them... last time I tried to get a little closer to one, they ran away... I sadly have nothing to track them, but I can certainly look if I can find any "residue" they may have left behind... that's a start at least...

[employee597]

Yeah that would be great if you can look for this, thank you very much!

Also do you know a bit more about what they are? I really don't have any info here. Do you know if they need some specific food or something like that as well?

[employee070]

Ooh? Euhmm I don't believe I know enough about them to say that. As I mentioned before I barely manage to get anything one them I'm afraid... I guess if I were to look at the basic information I have on them, they seem to like sweet things more than anything else? At least from what they've been given... I should really take more notes on what they like ...

[employee070]

do you have any information on shadow creatures...

-#510

ooh, that's .... I mean, yes, but it depends on what kind you're looking for, really... I have a few documented in the archives, one of which is... technically not even supposed to be here... but he let me document him, so there's that I guess.

So yeah, if you're looking for a distinct Shadow creature, can you be a little more specific?

[employee510]

Huh, interesting. I'm curious if you have more info on the one following me around. It's purpose seems to be to constantly berate me until I complete my work and stop interacting with others. It was given to me during the whole supplies mess, but now it's fused with my shadow, so I can't seem to get rid of it without harming myself in the process...

I hope that's specific enough! :)

[employee070]

ooh that's... interesting. I don't recall hearing of a shadow creature that fused with someone's shadow before... unless... hmm...

He tapped his finger twice on the desk, thinking for a bit, then he turned his attention to his computer and started to search for something. After a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke again

AH-HA! I found something about that, actually. It happened a while back, but I have heard of that before... I never found out how it happened, though, yet I remember now that they used to complain a lot about it until we... well, he was found dead... yet he no longer has a shadow so... I think he got rid of the shadow creature yet... You know where I'm going with this..? I don't know how you can get rid of this safely, I'm afraid... but I would love to help you understand it a little more, at least... maybe so you can coexist at least? If there is anything we can do... hmm... I'll have to check my sources and see what can be done...

So far, there is not much known about it, out of ... they love berating the human they're attached to, and they can shape the shadow to something they like, I think?

[employee510]

I didn't think people could truly die here... Huh. But I can see where you're going with this trust me, I can understand it. I would love your help though!

I'm also pretty curious about the shaping aspect, mine's only ever appeared like a normal shadow, but bigger... Maybe it just prefers to stay that way?

To be honest, I'm happy to help you if you need more research on the subject, I'd gladly be a test subject if it means this could potentially help others! and maybe myself, likely not

[employee070]

aah well... some do truly die in here, yes. Some just... disappear in rather weird circumstances, and I have yet to understand this phenomenon....

As for your shadow now, I don't know... unless it's because you got it recently and it has yet to shape your shadow to its liking... or maybe it just likes to "hide" when you're with others? That could be a reason...

He takes a few notes as he makes some hypotheses

Hmm I think we'll have to test some things with it then...

[employee510]

That could be the case...

I'm up for any testing that needs to be done. It'd be so cool to contribute to the knowledge on these kinds of creatures!

[employee070]

Aaah! I'm happy to hear that! I'm more than happy actually, since it's quite rare to have anyone that accept to be a part of the testing... I hate to force it on anyone so I managed with what I get :')

Alright that's enough of my rambling... Let's.. get to it shall we?

[employee510]

OOC POST: Okay, I'd been working on this for a while and then kinda gave up on it due to Art Fight, but fuck it I'm just gonna post the bits I had finished because i think it's cool + it has character lore (tw suicidal ideation). sorry for slapping a crappy watermark on there lol, extra stuff under the cut

He tapped his finger twice on the desk, thinking for a bit, then he turned his attention to his computer and started to search for something. After a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke again

AH-HA! I found something about that, actually. It happened a while back, but I have heard of that before... I never found out how it happened, though, yet I remember now that they used to complain a lot about it until we... well, he was found dead... yet he no longer has a shadow so... I think he got rid of the shadow creature yet... You know where I'm going with this..? I don't know how you can get rid of this safely, I'm afraid... but I would love to help you understand it a little more, at least... maybe so you can coexist at least? If there is anything we can do... hmm... I'll have to check my sources and see what can be done...

So far, there is not much known about it, out of ... they love berating the human they're attached to, and they can shape the shadow to something they like, I think?

[employee070]

do you have any information on shadow creatures...

-#510

ooh, that's .... I mean, yes, but it depends on what kind you're looking for, really... I have a few documented in the archives, one of which is... technically not even supposed to be here... but he let me document him, so there's that I guess.

So yeah, if you're looking for a distinct Shadow creature, can you be a little more specific?

[employee070]

Alright, I am going to have to access to the following information: do you, in the Archives, possess anything that could lead to eyes growing on people. I should have the proper accreditation for this, here is my permit number: 12-B-597-L-99-C

-Employee 597

oooh that's... hmmm...

He pauses to think a little bit, putting down the little origami he was doing before you arrived

Yes, we do have something regarding that, and giving you permission, you also have access to this... but I would like to say that given the rather... volatile effect it has, I myself have a hard time documenting it. This means there's not much on it at the current state of things...

He scratches the scar on his neck before he continues

all there is to know about it right now are simple little observation notes and some things I've been able to test on myself. It's not much so far; it's all I've been able to document on it.... I hope it's okay

He goes into the archives for a few minutes and comes back with a small folder containing notes about the thing you asked, though he seemed to call it "The growing" as written on it. You find a lot of notes about the aspect and how he seems to find a weird "residue" around it. He himself isn't sure of what it is, but he does find it intriguing enough to write it down... more notes on the aspect are written down, and then you find the paper where he wrote "testing". "eyes growing in pairs, which is not different from what 727 seems to have endured... a lot of pain coming from it, with this rather overwhelming feeling of paranoia (but it's possible it's only me for that) [...] having to rest a few times after each test because somehow something seemed to persist after the first one. Unsure of what it is for now, but might have to come back to it later [...]"

[employee597]

Oh thank a lot! I do have a few extra questions though if that's ok?

By testing on yourself what do you exactly mean? You don't seem to have more than two eyes at the moment, have you found a way to reverse the effect of it?

Also, does it always grows two eyes at the same time? Last time, only one eye grew on 727's back, I wonder why.

Do you know where it comes from? What causes it?

And finally, do you have any missing? I'm having a slight doubt that the things that have been distributed comes from the supplies management department, so I want to be sure. Although I probably shouldn't keep looking around for that.

[employee070]

ooh? Aah euhm ... that.... well, when I can get my hands on the source of the "trouble" I test their effects. I do that within a confined space to prevent any "outbreaks", even if it's not going to cause any in most cases... if the effects are too severe, I... "reset"... by that I mean I... basically "off myself" to return to a normal state.... as much as it hurts I can do that as much as needed... when you have to deal with many strange items that could kill others I guess it makes sense to put the one guy that can "reset" to take care of them all... not that I hate it really.

He laughs nervously before he continues

Ooh, that's interesting... when I was testing it, it only appeared in pairs... hmm... I guess it depends on the person.... or maybe it's something else entirely... yet I can't test that on my own for obvious reasons. But I'll note that down just in case.

I'm not sure of what causes it really, For now I was only able to see a faint alteration on the source... I'm not sure of what caused it, but I suspect something else made that happen.... that could be the reason why the source causes that effect... yet I still need to look into it a little more, so I can't be certain right now, I'm afraid.

And I don't recall anything being missing, sadly. It shouldn't even be possible for the Archives would prevent it from happening... anything/anyone that comes without being allowed in the archives will get "punished" or destroyed... not by me, of course, but it's the security system, sort of, not sure I can call it that actually. But it's there to help the archivist and protect the content of the archives. So, this didn't originate from the archives, I'm afraid...

[employee597]

Oh I didn't know you could do something like that, it is kinda weird to be fair. But once again it's not like anyone can truly die here. I hope it is not too much painful to you though

Do you know where it's coming from? I don't see why this would be needed in here, so it's kinda strange that we even have some.

Oh alright, then I suppose the problem actually comes from the supplies, I'll have to pay more attention to that. Glad to know that their is no issue with the archives though, that would be worrying.

Anyway, thank you so much for the information, and for taking care of the printer blood as well!

[employee070]

ooh euhm, yeah it's nothing big really... just a little thing I can do haha...

I sadly don't know where it is from as of now, but I'll let you know if I find anything on it if you want. Not that I will be able to right away, it might take some time, but hopefully I can find the origin eventually.

I hope this doesn't mean anything bad for the supplies, like you know, some sort of breach or something... I don't know...

ooh yeah, you're welcome. I'm always happy to dig into another mystery! if you have anything else to show me I'll be happy to take care of it~

[employee070]

hi…i’m kinda new, but they, uh…they told me to come here? i don’t really know, the interview was weird, sorry i’m talking fast there’s this…other thing, and it keeps taking over…if i start talking weird you have to run because that thing is dangerous and i don’t know what it is, but—[error]

be not afraid.

— angie-min fei @employee-777

I euhm... what?? They told you to come here??? Why didn't I get... notified of this...? That looks... weird...

huh? run? But I'm... ooh I see.... That's interesting, I don't get that often, yet I don't dislike it... I guess I should document that for the archives...

So, hm... what can I do for you? If you came here, I imagine, whether it's you or "the other you, I imagine something is needed, right? Unless I'm mistaken, I guess... which is possible, like everything else, I guess

[employee-777]

i was assigned to—to work here—i—no, stop it, get out of my brain, get out get out get out get out get out—i-i don’t know why, i thought i was interviewing for financial analysis, they just said “go to the archives” and sent me here and then this thing got into my head and i can’t control it—stop trying to—stop, no, you’re not—frick—you need to run, it’s here it’s—[error]

do not listen to this pathetic creature. it is foolish and without vision. you are human, i presume?

[employee070]

A sort of low hissing noise could be heard faintly within the archives. It didn't seem to bother 070, but he seems to frown ever so slightly.

You were assigned here? That doesn't sound very... hmm... logical to me, unless it's "the thing" that got into your head that made it so. I wouldn't be surprised they knew it would happen... like other entities that ... have an eye on everything.

He seemed to look at the ceiling as he said that, but soon looked back to 777

Hmm... the foolish human seems to be quite scared of you. May I ask why? Have you hurt them in any way, or is it just that "fear of the unknown" that is supposed to be within almost anyone? To answer your question, I guess I am, yes. At least I'm supposed to be...
