#until i got transfixed by perfect vessel!nori brainworms

[snugglesquiggle]

Apparently Alice was bullied by Yerba and Nori (according to the wiki) but I take that with a grain of salt

But if it’s true then holy shit I feel so bad for her ;;

Top that off with solitary confinement down in Cabin Fever Labs too other than Beau being by her side, but he’s not much of a talker at all besides hand gestures (unless both understand sign! :D )

lmao yerba. this mf typo'd in the group chat

jokes aside, if the wiki's saying that then it's as bad as i've heard. we don't have information to conclude anything close to that; our understand of their dynamics and relationships pretty much has to be extrapolated from this image

which, to be fair, is a hell of an image

alice and beau are alone by the time the heroes arrive, but it's unclear how many test subjects there were and how they lived. Amda survived for some time before being picked off, for example.

but i suppose a lord of the flies scenario that ends with everyone else dead is just a different kind of hell than solitary

stupid idea that just occurred to me: it'd be funny divergence if a collapse, override/hack, or a DD team getting lucky sufficed to bypassed the elevator and created a scenario where core!Nori is forced to team up with Alice. this would only not be a trainwreck by virtue of being nowhere near the rails
