what if i rebooted this blog
south was in the trailer and now i wanna return properly...
“ Uh, here, let me quote what you just said: ‘I BELIEVE TEX IS A TOOL’. ”
He says it rather bluntly, shaking his head with slight disappointment. Tex wasn’t necessarily the best person (she certainly wasn’t a thing) to be around, but he had so much more faith in her than a lot of the soldiers he had encountered throughout his career (minus the Blood Gulch Crew, they had a knack for winning). But more importantly, she never seemed like a tool. She always seemed like a woman of independence; one who knew exactly what she wanted and never relied on anyone else.
“ Look- I know it’s a lot to take in, but it’s the truth. And I know another A.I.- well, an A.I. of an A.I., anyways. But he was just as human as his predecessor, and let me tell you, Church is one of the most passionate people I’ve known. The second one, anyways. εpsilon, I think they called him? ”
“ Epsilon... ”
It comes out as only a soft spoken murmur. That THING was the defective AI that had RUINED Agent Washington; The MEMORY FRAGMENT. From what she had heard through rumours spread by other agents: it had shown Wash memories that weren’t his, tried to TAKE ITS OWN LIFE inside him. ——— Epsilon had taken Wash’s sanity, and now it’s taking the REST of the project with it.
“ Yeah, that’s what they called it. He was Wash’s AI, before... ———— before shit happened. He... uh... messed him up real bad, y’know. Would hardly consider him HUMAN. ”
“Honnouji Academy is the name of the high school that I founded, and Honnou Town the community of students and their families that surrounds it.” Satsuki didn’t believe that South was truly middle-aged for a second.
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
“ Chill out. It’s a figure of speech! I’ve still got a long way until I’m middle aged. YOU, on the other hand? You act as if you hit retirement YEARS ago. —— How old are you, Sats? ”
@newstarr || starter call.
“ HEY! You with the black armour —— Arizona. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING? We got shit to do! ”
guess who’s back, back again i’ve missed this blog, so starter call!
we have a LOT to talk about written by abby
“While I am sure you may be using sarcasm, I shall explain in case you were serious. The human body has millions of chemicals that make it work and function. If any ff those get imbalanced, death would be almost instant.“ Was that a low key threat to South, or was he stressing how delicate the add ad was in case she ever got an A.I?
She rolls her eyes, growing frustrated at him. ( TYPICAL. It seems South and Delta can’t be around each other for too long without someone getting pissed off. )
“ I KNOW. I passed basic science, y’know. ”
“You are correct.” And yet South gave Satsuki a nickname anyway. She would expect nothing else.
Honnouji Academy was no great secret. “I am the Student Council President of Honnouji Academy, as well as overseeing the surrounding community known as Honnou Town. There the students live with their families when they are not training under me.”
She wasn’t interested in whatever South had to say about herself, so she wouldn’t encourage her to tell about it.
“Does that satisfy your curiosity?”
“ Lady, all you’ve done is list names I’ve never fuckin’ heard of. ——— But I guess I’m not supposed to have, right? Middle aged old ladies like me aren’t supposed to care about school unless it’s for their kids. ”
South, you’re only in your twenties.
Oooh man. There was a lot of things South still didn’t know- which made this a lot harder for Doc. There was no way this could’ve actually happened- it was like, one of those offshoot timelines (he can just hear Simmons murmuring something offhandedly in the background) where he comes back, and it’d still be the same- but South and the ol’ Freelancers here (if they knew) would develop into a different timeline.
Still, he’s somewhat cautious, avoiding her questions. She doesn’t need to know anything too troubling- hopefully not yet.
“ Say- what are YOUR opinions on A.I.? What- what makes you think that the Meta had no reason to go after Tex? ”
“ You said it took TEXAS, as if she’s one of them; like she’s an AI. ——— Whi - which she’s not. I’d know if she was one of ‘em. ”
She explains this with only a slight degree of uncertainty, as if she’s doubting herself. Agent Texas moved with a gracefulness no human could ever truly achieve, could predict even the most DIFFICULT of trajectories. That, and her seeming LACK of emotions, is enough to make one doubt her humanity.
“ And my thoughts on AI in general? They’re... they’re tools. Nothing more, nothing less. ”

“I’m sure it’s been made clear by my lack of making it on there that it doesn’t exactly fuel my existence, South.”
Her opinion on the leaderboard wasn’t that much of a secret, considering the comments she made to the others occasionally. Sure, she trained by herself and had started to avoid training when she knew the others were likely to be around. That wasn’t driven by a desire to be the top of the leaderboard, though; it was driven by a desire to be able to fight back against the others if it came down to it. (She hoped it didn’t– she wanted them to get out and be free from this awful shithole of a Project.)
“Try not to let it be always on your mind, South. –As stupid as it sounds, there are more important things to worry about than your ranking.”
She crossed her arms, cocking her head to the side slightly. She sounded almost concerned (because she didn’t want this Project to tear apart her friends teammates), but she tried to play it off as a casual suggestion.
“ But.. while we’re HERE, it’s all that matters. The Director barely lets us go on missions unless we’re like, what? At the top five or so? Besides, there is nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition. That’s what Counselor Price called it, right? ”
She’s unsure; doubting herself. ( Something which is becoming a frequent occurrence since joining the project. )
“Yes, but OVEREATING after an extended period of no food at all MAKES YOU SICK.”
“ As if I’m supposed to care? Better that than fucking STARVING. ”
