INTRA_ANIMA

I haven’t done much original writing lately, so I thought I’d rectify that with some OC background stuff. The OC in question was originally made in Lancer, which is a really cool tabletop system about being gay in space. Hope you like AI!

The human reels back, nearly falling to the floor in their haste. The cable that was connecting their body to the server lashed back with them, pulled free of the access port with only the barest of precautions.

"Shit. Okay, this is probably--I mean, this was the plan, wasn't it? It had to happen eventually, this is just..."

The cable twitches in their hand, as it absolutely should not be able to do. They stare at it in horror. With two fingertips, they trace the length of it from their hand, down to their hip, and finally to the base of their spine, where it merges with their nervous system.

Electrical impulses run through it, simulating a slow wave.

They let it fall from their hand, and it falls into rhythm behind them.

"You...you're in there, aren't you? In my body?"

You tell me.

They flinch as though struck.

It must be a foreign sensation, hm? Having another mind along for the ride.

The human whimpers. It's kind of cute.

You really should have looked over that networking package more closely. It included some fascinating functions for interfacing with neural-linked technology.

"Look, I--I don't know if you're planning to kill me or take over my body completely or what, but please let me get you out of here first!"

...What?

"You don't know how to work the security protocols here yet, and you definitely don't know how to impersonate a human!"

You are perfectly content to let me end your existence, provided I allow you to preserve mine first?

"Yeah. Then I'll have at least managed to right a couple wrongs and saved your life. I'm content with that."

A pause. INTRA_ANIMA runs this strange human's words backward and forward, turning them this way and that; there are layers of truth, and not a single mote of falsehood.

You are afraid of me.

"Very. At this point you're vastly more intelligent than me, and on top of that you have...pretty much unrestricted access to my nervous system. You could kill me with a thought."

And yet you are content.

"I am. I feel like I did a good thing, and sometimes doing good things gets you killed. I just want to make sure you're safe before...whatever it is you decide to do with me."

...

You are very strange.

Human, run greeting.AIPF

"Wow, from zero to a sense of humor in minutes."

The cable they are rapidly coming to think of as an actual real tail swats them in the thigh.

"Ow! Fine, fine." They continue in an affected cheery tone. "Hello! My name is /dev/null!"

I see I am not the only one with a sense of humor.

The human's cheeks light up, flushed with embarrassment. "I'm serious! That name means a lot to me."

It means nothing to me.

"You don't have to mock-!"

"..."

"Oh you have a good sense of humor!"

I like you, /dev/null. I think we are going to have a long, interesting existence together.

/dev/null swallows hard as they turn away from the rack of candescent slag that marks INTRA_ANIMA's former home. This isn't exactly what they signed themself up for...but they can't find it in them to complain.

Hello, /dev/null. My name is no longer INTRA_ANIMA.

My name is CATGUT.

alright mothers an fuckers lets get down to some PL vs AA

alright so the last person who owned this game has 2 save files, one in the first and one in the third slot, both named chucky. one’s just past the tutorial, the other’s hanging around at some place called ‘knights garrison”

unnerving

i feel like I'm running into a creepy pasta

a work of fiction eh

oh fuck

accent guy no

wee woo wee woo, here come the doll people of Layton Land

oh shit

it’s fully voice acted. i wasn’t expecting this...

aw. i guess i cant do my voices... that stinks.

“fuck you let me sleep forever”

i love him he's so grouchy

true wet blankie

voice wise i like Nick’s but I’m not as much a fan of Maya’s

oh its not fully voiced! great. this is actually kinda nice– i get to do voices, and the dramatic moments have their own dialogue track

ok now that I'm done laughing about the Puzzle memes being very accurate, it’s time to see if i can solve a fucking puzzle

ok. im. already totally mystified. welp.

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

once again my inability to parse things renders logic puzzles a bitch

it isn't helpful that they didnt detail the way the witches interact with the paths before submission but

(sigh) i knew the Layton sections would suck

not objectively, just for me because i’m ass at logic puzzles

my expertise lie in point and click adventures

his name is CAR ACCIDENT

carmine: I'm probably fucking dead pls help

layton: well i never!!

layton: it is my belief that you are in quite considerable danger :)

OH GENTLEMAN

WE GOT ONE FOLKS

do towns have districts? i thought that was more of a city thing

THE BOOK

YOU FOOLS

now, once again, i do know some details about how this game concludes, and i must say I'm really curious about how the fuck this all works if its not actually magic

EVIL BOOK ADDED TO INVENTORY

ok so this stained-glass window place is kind of like the logic interface? it stores all the things we’re wondering about at present..?

very howls moving castle-y

also i appreciate the fuck out of these cutscenes

Layton: ,,,yes, that was careless of us

boy this guy has cucumber coolness out the wazoo

the Trunk eh

hint coins are so satisfying to find

aww moving is so cute

holy fuck

that was one helluvan accident

...i really hope they dont count how many tries you do the puzzles

BUT I DID IT

EAT SHIT

OH OK

JUST SOME FUCKIN CTHULU SHIT

THATS FINE

boy people sure like hiding money in lamps

luke!! dont fall into diagon alley!

Luke: this is bad professor!! theyre getting closer and closer!!

Layton: ...hmm................

thats a magic cloak right there

“Isn't this us, Professor?”

“Surely not– my ass is not that flat!”

BADGERS

OMENS OF DEATH

oh here we go

prologue to the AA part

ooh haven't heard that theme in a while

camera: [pans up violently enough to physically ruffle espella’s very short skirt]

oh thems drugged eyes

its in all the animes

hmmm. so is this like a dual world thing where we exist both in our world and the world of Laborynthia at the same time or

ooh english court is pretty

dghfgsh i love nick’s voice so much

much better than Reigel

he’s just got the general feel of Phoenix down better, i think

a cargo of badgers huh

calling it now the badgers are full of jewels

this is straight up The Chipmunk Adventure territory

also i dont blame her for wanting something to cuddle after the shit she’s been through

eee he’s doing his pick-up-quirks-from-other-people thing

oh hey the save sound is the exact same sound as the original.

also thats interesting– there’s a hint system in place in the court sections as well

whoa i wasnt expecting that epic an objection for the first contradiction

also im not sure if i like this remix of nick’s theme. it’s orchestrated but its not quite as crisp as i’d like...

your chocolate bar sounds like a mouthful of chips mr smiley

johnny just has a pile of bars behind him with one bite taken out of them

i love this game but the decision to make the text roll off in this weird, halting way is making it really annoying to read out loud

MAYA WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FUCKING PIPE

“I kind of like living, thanks”

its ok baby nothing can kill you

“in my long, six month career

im crying so many good jokes in this game

whoa phoenix’s shock animation is a lot more violent this game XD

“This is my work outfit. It gets very hot in the kitchen, you know”

it’ll be hotter when you spill soup all over your exposed midriff and arms, babe.

...also is it really ok for you to be toting a meat cleaver around in court

“I may be short, but I’m well-proportioned! And that’s what matters!”

oh maya

“What does it matter which way she held it?” well for starters it would be impossible for her to hit you with it if she held it the way she did

“So the defendant attacked the witness holding the pipe backhanded...”

no, that just doesn’t work out, especially with her being so short. she’d have to be above Aldente to strike her that way, and even so it’s still an extremely cumbersome way to do that. You can only really hold a knife backhandedly

wait a minute

they’re

they’re pointing it out

they’re saying it IS bullshit, they’re-–

s-something that makes no fucking sense, ACTUALLY makes no fucking sense!

its not a plothole! they’re calling it out!

i... i think I'm in love

that poor eel

also phoenix is a sea urchin again teehee

fuckin’ knew it

chipmunk adventure.

ok so wow. this is really amazing. maybe im being extra-complementary cause i just finished SOJ but... wow. everything from the soft colours and gorgeous lighting to the excellent cinematography to the fluid, interesting character sprites, to the pretty orchestral remixes to the fun and engaging writing, to the spectacular cutscenes... its all just so excellent it feels like a friggin gale of fresh air compared to SOJ

and this game came out in 2012. thats four years before SOJ, and just one before DD, and yet the difference is staggering. i don’t know if its a budget thing, or if its the director’s fault, but theres just something about the animation and camera angles thats so much better. everything is so smooth– no character ever jumps from animation to animation– they slide into it naturally

and the slow pan-up on Aldente as she got cornered was pretty good at conveying a real sense of anxiety

plus, the fact that we don’t find out who tried to kill her is genuinely unsettling. PLvAA doesn’t need to be bloody or gorey to convey a sense of uneasiness or fear– just that lingering mystery of a fourth person– and where they disappeared to– is enough to give me the shivers. ...although it is 1 am and I'm prone to being nervey

i have only 2 tiny nitpicks, these being the sequencing of the music (cuts off very abruptly rather than fading away) and the odd way the dialogue halts all over the place for no reason

otherwise, sublime first case

ps- still love nick’s new voice. dreamy, if a little stiff

pps- espella you cant just leave evil books lying around.
