WHO: Viktor + open
WHERE: Libra
WHEN: 3/6
WHAT: Sometimes you sign up just to file a complaint.
WARNINGS: None yet.

[A lot of you probably know this voice--either from Zodiac, around the University, or in several cases from your very own DnD campaign. Today, however? He sounds really annoyed.]

So where can I find the person responsible for the University being in a tree- [HAITHAM,] -and who do I talk to about installing an elevator?

Viktor?! What the fuck!?

[Caleb rarely swears like that but. Like. This calls for that.]

[hexcrafter]

Yes, hello Caleb, not quite an answer to my question.

Viktor, what the hell.

[droptheious]

[ Well, this is someone he never expected to see on here! ]

...Viktor? You got onto the app? [Bro what??? ] Also uh. I think it just... happened? The tree thing. Overnight. Weird Kaisou magic, y'know? I'd offer to help with the elevator thing but me and heights don't go so well together.

[hexcrafter]

Some people are nearly impossible to reach. I had to resort to desperate measures.

[Hey Viktor, it's your favorite guy!]

Wow, so this is what it'd take for the reality to come out!

[hexcrafter]

I have no idea what you mean.

[Harumasa is literally, and hilariously, the only one from the D&D group who isn't at all surprised to see that Viktor has been able to see the weird shit this whole time. Mostly because he's possibly the only one who ever asked Viktor where he worked.]

Heeeeey, Viktor~! I was wondering when you'd show up on here. I dunno who you have to talk to for that, but I hope he's on here and can see this!

[hexcrafter]

Eh, I've been going out of my way to stay off of the network for years. But this is a bit too dire of a situation to not use every avenue of communication.

[replicannot]

Apparently, it’s just a magic thing. The city does that now?

[he knows; it’s a pain]

An elevator would be nice, though.

[hexcrafter]

Oh, it's done this sort of thing for years.

[calm as fuckin anything]

I could likely build one, or at least design it. But some cooperation would be nice.

[Ah, it's her favorite science twink. Her day has improved.]

Hello Viktor. Did you finally get on Janet's bad side, or did you willingly sign up just to file a complaint?

[hexcrafter]

The latter, of course. 'Willingly' is a strong word, but close enough.

[ oh new target ]

Welllllll, while there's no elevator, I see there's a pretty big ramp on the thing, sooooo...

Seeing as it looks like you're a friend of my friends, I'll do you a solid and give you a gift! A gently used motor scooter, it'll make getting up and down that ramp a breeze! Just remember to plug it in.

...

And maybe be careful about going down. Up is probably easier. 🌟

[hexcrafter]

Flattered as I am: not quite the point.

[sampo honey he's the one of his matched set that understands when he's being conned]

This is not solely about me, but anyone else that would also have trouble all but climbing an enormous tree to get in.

[goodolrika]

Oh. 'Sup, Viktor. Gotta admit, surprised to see you on here, but hey, happy to have someone else I like talking to on here.

... Got nothing helpful on the complaints front, though. Sorry.

[hexcrafter]

Hello, Rika. The lengths I must go to in order to walk into the University apparently need to be drastic, so here I am.

[whitestonelives]

Did you really finagle a way to get into the app to file an accessibility complaint?

[hexcrafter]

...This surprises you?

[you have MET viktor,]

[creamcottonshepherd]

[Everyone else has the elevator and tabletop chaos handled, Cotton's honing in on something else-]

Viktor it's never going to uninstall now.

[What did you do to yourself!]

[hexcrafter]

I am willing to accept that sacrifice if it fixes the issue at hand.

[f...]

[aquilaconstellation]

I didn't plant the tree, Victor.

[ Here he is, acting like this conversation has been an ongoing one and not like he has been missing this whole time. ]

[hexcrafter]

[YOU.]

Fine, poor choice of words. But now that I finally have your attention, who do I talk to about putting in an elevator?

text; un: fourseasons

[consonanter]

It's been a recent development, unfortunately. As for the one responsible- I don't believe blaming an entire city would help.

[hexcrafter]

Not very productive, but blaming somethng would make me feel better.

[In the same tone as passing a coworker outside the lunch room:]

Hey, Viktor.

[He is not surprised even slightly. Welcome to the joyless club.]

[hexcrafter]

Aventurine, always a pleasure.

[thavnairian]

[Huh! Haven't seen him in a while. Amal also dropped off the network, though, so they've been a little bit like ships passing in the night.]

I'm not sure why the university's a tree, but if you need a ride up there, I can carry you?

[hexcrafter]

Do not mistake this for a lack of gratitude, but I believe I would rather risk climbing a tree and breaking everything than let anyone carry me anywhere.

voice, un: mallemok

[mauks]

Are you telling me it isn't normally a tree?

[hexcrafter]

Not when I last checked, no.

voice: un: idontcare

[jaxoff]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you've done it now. She's gonna get you. You had a SWEET free ticket away from this stupid app and you wasted it. I honestly thought you were smarter than that.

[hexcrafter]

Perhaps I just thought the price an acceptable one. Things were starting to get stale after all this time, anyway.
