Player.

i cant believe we never found out who mariah was :pensive:

[He strolls back in, twirling his shitty jpeged cane and wearing a stupid hat] What up bit- [He sees all the corruption] Good lord what is happening in here?

B3 waves him off. “I have faith in you buddy, all that’s left to worry is the Henry’s. Dunno if they’re gonna try n touch people. Y’know?”

"Yeah it's best we stay the hell away from Shawn so.." *She takes a few more steps away from Shawn.*

“Oh fun, this is like a flu, someone’s bound to get it from you next. Or from Henry.”

"Oh hey Shawn you're back-" *She sees the glitches on him and immediately steps back* "Um- you uh,, feeling ok?"

"Yeah the idiot brains part is obvious."

“I just don’t wanna cause problems for the players to fix honestly, I have idiot brains otherwise.”

"Better to do nothing instead of having to experience excruciating pain and cause more problems."

“Yeah, wish I could help him but last time I touched any file shit I deleted my arm n Gordon wasn’t happy bout that. Can’t even offer him a hug cause then I’ll get fucked up and be more work for the players to fix.”

"I mean, fair point. I'd imagine looking and feeling like a JPEG hurts like hell."

“Fair but I don’t think Forzen can fully be faulted for that, when you’re in a lot of pain you’re not gonna be rational. Which, I guess neither can really be faulted then? Frosty’s in the pain train to hell and Shawn’s in sensory hell.”

"Right but he tried to grab Shawn's arm. He's not supposed to touch people otherwise they get corrupted right? Even if it wasn't for that long he probably messed something up."

“Yeah sure, I can see that. He’s been through a lot. But Frosty is fucking corrupted which I cannot imagine how painful it is, imagine coming to the one person you hope can fix it and take the pain away an’ they just fucking yell at you. Scare you away because you’re just in pain and barely functional?”

"Given the current situation I think it was reasonable Shawn freaked out."
