It was so quiet, who would have thought that it would end like this. In a room full of computer, but with nothing to use them with. If he still had fingers they would have been twitching to run over the keys, to try to solve this all.
He could not sit, could not type... And was alone.
I think... I am lonely...
Hard to believe with so many other minds around, but none meant anything to him. If anyone had told him being alone could hurt, he would have laughed, but he felt it now.. Like ice creeping up on him... Where were the others from the prison? Had they escaped?

Vayne's vines trembled as he made his way to one of the computer terminals, and with all the patience he could muster, he tried to make his vines as strong as fingers. He then jabbed at the keys to the computer, pecking out a message.
I was real
I was Vayne..
Don't forget me.
I lived.
Compared to the messages and programs he used to manage, this was crude, and kind of childish, but it got the point across. He had existed, he would not let everything he was be absorbed by this thing. Wouldn't that be as bad as never being?
Still, he wished he could see some of the other people before it was too late. Was there a way to summon some of them?

Quote: [ The server room ]: This is a room that has mounds and mounds of computer servers. They are still humming, running, and thriving on the same strange thorns and vines. As you look around, you see strange notes. "It's okay, dear, we don't have to stay long." Taysia remained a shivering bundle of vines nonetheless as Adelaide coaxed her in. The pair had been exploring the place together--or rather, Taysia had been following the older Prison woman to avoid being alone in this strange new realm and strange new body. Adelaide strode forward to the semi familiar figure, her semblance of a mouth split in a grin. "Fancy meeting you here, knife boy." Behind her, the smaller figure of tensely coiled vines slowly crept into the room, avoiding the computer but eyeing the various manuscripts about with cautious curiosity. Quote: Day --- I -- and thought she couldn't get any crazier. I was wrong. --- isn't even herself anymore. I'm pretty sure she --- a long time ago. This would explain everything. I wish I had a simple explanation for why this was happening. Is it too late - were we fooled the entire time?

Someone else?! Vayne turned around to see who it was, and he quickly left the computer he had been typing on to see who it was. The woman from the knife contest, and someone he did not know. It was a relief, he wasn't the only one here. "I thought I was alone..." Vayne's voice... or was it a thought, he wasn't sure how it worked now, was whispered . He had been scared, not as in a physical fear but more of a mental one. "Please stay a while.." The ex-blond hacker gestured with vines at the computers. "I am trying to hack into the system, to find some information, but it is harder to do with... how I am now." How depressing, yet, less so now that someone else was with him. "I am... or was... NO I AM William Vayne... I go by Vayne though. I never got your name."

Adelaide was rattled enough from their newest turn of events that she didn't mock the kid for his fear. Frankly, it was only a very good poker face and a particular attitude that kept her going.
"Vayne, huh? Shouldn't I call you Vine?" the older woman teased. "It's Adelaide. Or Lieutenant St. Pierre. Doesn't matter much now, I guess."
The other girl seemed to perk at the mention of hacking. "Can you get in?" she asked, half afraid and half hopeful. "I was in there. Bad s**t. Lots of bad s**t."
"She's not all there either, I think," Adelaide offered with the same joking tone, which Taysia rustled with offense to. "Says she was digitized or something."
"I was! I-I wasn't imagining it."

Vayne would have smirked as he was called Vine, if he had lips. Actually did he have lips? Darn, it sucked not knowing. He glanced at the note Adelaide found and sighed. "None of this even makes sense." When the other talked about the hacking he gave a rustling nod. "I am trying to get deeper into the system. I have found a few things." He sighed and looked back at the screen, his vine fingers twitched a bit as he started typing as well as he could. "Digitized how?" That was a curious thing to mention, he had never heard of anything like that. Ah well it wasn't like any of it mattered. "So, did you see anyone else from the prison?" As he talked his fingers raced over the keys, his attention now split in a way he rather liked. It was good to have someone in the room with him, he didn't feel so cut off.

Quote: Day --- I woke up, and remembered doing nothing. I guess that is okay. --- calls. Not much time.
"I dunno. I saw one of those shadow mob things in an elevator and I was just there."
"Probably more hallucinations," Adelaide offered, unconvinced. "That hospital place was damn nutty. Oh, Vayne, this is...Taystee?"
"Taysia," the girl corrected hotly, the flowers serving as her eyes twisting closed and open as she moved away to explore some more. There were so many scrawled notes lying around, it was a little like she was going crazy herself.
Adelaide shrugged her off. "I saw Boss earlier," she told Vayne with a nod. "Funny seeing him apologetic instead've all authoritative. A lot less sexy." Very important to note. "Anyway, what kind of things have ya been finding?"
