[terminally-connected]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

We love to talk and share stories.

So come on and ask us stuff!

We might know more than you think.

This is an askblog for an Ultrakill character, a terminal. Just a regular old terminal that machines use to purchase weapons/equipment on, hosting cybergrind, and sitting and talking back and forth with other terminals. Referring to itself as plural.

Rules

-Please don’t send full-on nsfw asks, suggestive asks are welcome.

-Please don’t send asks to vent, I will not answer them.

-it goes by it/its pronouns

Please keep these in mind when interacting.

Happy Asking!!!

[@hells-v-ex-splorer]

[this is their first time ever seeing a terminal]

[Immediately the screen switches on, the song singing quietly for the larger dark grey V series. Text starts to appear on the screen.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

Hello.

It has been a while since we’ve seen a V model. What would you like to purchase?

[hells-v-ex-splorer]

(He is surprised by the screen switching on) “oh! Hello, what are you?”

[terminally-connected]

[The terminal’s song stays at the same noise level, though the text on its screen changed to respond.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

We are a terminal, used by machines to purchase weaponry.

We were originally made by humanity, but we suppose you knew that already.

[terminally-connected]

A small yellow machine, not too different from a V-Model, slowly approaches the terminal. It stares curiously, keeping a bit of a distance from the other machine, as if it didn't know if it would need to engage in combat. Which was odd, considering most machines at least knew of the terminals, if not acting as customers themself. But not this one.

( @prototype-vx )

[The terminal’s screen didn’t shift on, though it could tell the other machine was there. Perhaps the other machine was scared that it would hurt the other.]

[Quietly, the screen turns on, playing a quieter version of that telltale song.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

It is okay, we won’t hurt you.

We haven’t seen you before, are you new?

[The terminal continues to play that quieter version of that song for the machine, but other than that, it didn’t move. How could it? It was a simple terminal.]

[prototype-vx]

V-X froze in place, their head tilting to the side, similar to a dog. They shook their head, starting to approach the machine once again. It did not seem like it was capable of harm or combat, so it was most likely safe to get close to...?

They brought themself in front of the machine, the soft tune emanating from it starting to calm their systems. They paused again for a moment before signing.

"Not new. Old prototype. Have not approached before."

"Can you see? I can't speak."

They hoped the mystery machine could understand their sign, it would be a pain if not.

[terminally-connected]

[The song continued to play quietly. The text on the terminal’s screen changed, making sure that it kept up to what the other machine had signed. It hadn’t seen many signing machines, but seeing actually speaking machines was much more rare than this.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

Interesting, but don’t worry, we can see your signing. Unfortunately for us, this is the only way we can communicate.

As for your prototype, The closest thing in our databank is V1 and V2. Do you happen to know of them?

[prototype-vx]

V-X hesitated for a moment before nodding. She knew of her successors. While she had not met them in person, she knew of them. The machines build off of her programming, her blueprints.

"I know. They were built from my blueprints. I am older than both."

They signed before a huffing sound came from their fans, as if they were annoyed. They didn't hate V1 or V2, but...they did not take enjoyment in speaking about the two.

[terminally-connected]

[The terminal’s song quieted more in response, as if to say sorry for annoying the other. The text on its screen changed once again.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

We see.

Would you like to talk about something else? Something other than those two of course.

[prototype-vx]

V-X nodded again, getting a bit closer to the terminal.

"What are you? Newer machines. Have seen but not interacted."

While it was true that they had seen the terminals before, they had felt no need to interact with them. But today they were feeling particularly curious, and decided to go up to this one. Might as well get their questions answered.

[terminally-connected]

[The terminal’s song was still quiet as the other machine moved closer to it. It hadn’t really been asked that question before, it would need to root around in its databank for information about itself. But besides that, the text on its screen changed once more.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

We are a terminal. We’re not exactly a new machine, having been made when humanity first ventured into Hell. They used us to move equipment over long distances.

But when they went extinct, we got bored of staying in the same place, so that’s when we started to sell to other machines equipment.

[prototype-vx]

V-X listened, their foot quietly tapping against the floor.

"New to me. Post-war is new."

So they were merchants to machines. That's why she had seen machines interacting with the terminals...

"You sell weapons? Like guns? With what money?"

Another reason why interacting with the terminals regularly would not suit her. She had no use for guns, nor was she well trained with them. It would be a waste of resources to purchase a gun.

[terminally-connected]

[The terminal’s song stayed quiet, though the text on the screen changed to respond.]

- -TIP OF THE DAY- -

We don’t necessarily use money for other machines to buy weapons. We use recordings of your fight with others to rank how much points you’ve earned. These points are what buy you the weapon.

As for weapons, we do have guns.. but I don’t think you’re the type to have guns. Not with that blade you have.
