Sorry about that, I'll try to wrap this thread up before it's archived.

"I'm not sure I like that idea. Being cut off from consciousness for that long..."
"Oh, it'll be fine. Unless something goes horribly wrong--which would mean extensive damage to your brain--you'll wake up just fine. You'll have comfy dreams too, I'm sure."
Mom smiles reassuringly.

>[]Well... can you make sure I wake up again?
>[]Are you sure..? It sounds dangerous.
>[]Nope. Not sleeping.
>>
>>3325670
If you did that, Dad would probably shut you down.

It's a waste of time.
>>
>>3325805
"Ah. Okay..."
Mom pats you on the head.
"That's fine. Do you want me to get you some more books or something? And I could stay up with you if you want me to."
You think about this.

>[]I'll be fine by myself.
>[]Some more books would be nice. I want to learn all I can about the world.
>[]Something else.

>>[]Something else.
What are dreams?
>>
>>3325992
"Oh, dreams are weird visions you see when you sleep. If you're a fictional character, they're usually prophetic. You probably don't have to worry about that."
You have a think about that.
"Nobody's really sure what they are, but the prevailing theory is that they're what happens when our brain--or CPU--tries to sort things out. I like to take it as proof that I'm really alive, and not just a program."

>[]I wanna have a dream, they sound cool.
>[]...are you sure this isn't from narcotics?
>[]You're not helping my phobia of sleep, Mom.
>>
>>3326002
>>[]...are you sure this isn't from narcotics?
>>
>>3326011
"Pretty sure. Those shouldn't even work on us."

>[]Oh, okay.
>[]I'm not convinced.
>[]Hm. Well, I'll be here reading books if you need me.
>>
>>3326035
>>[]I'm not convinced.
>>
>>3326038
"All I can tell you is the truth. If you don't want to go to bed, that's fine. I just want to know if you want me to keep you company. Hardly anyone's around during the nighttime."

>[]Please stay.
>[]I'm fine, Mom. You can go.
>>
>>3326075
>>[]I'm fine, Mom. You can go.
And then we explore
>>
>>3326076
"Well, if you're sure..."
She gives you one last pat on the head before heading off.
You're left alone in the expansive library of Dad's palace. There's a second level, and a restricted section at the back. You're pretty sure it's restricted for a reason.
Aside from here, the courtyard, the dining room, and the workroom you were born in, the palace is unknown to you.

Do you look for anything specific?
>>
>>3326218
We must locate all resources.
Water Nutrients Electricity
>>
>>3326630
Water and nutrients can be acquired from the kitchen, specifically the pantry. Electricity, though... supposedly you can generate that from nutrients, but a direct source would be nice.
You have several options. There's a bit of a thunderstorm going on around the tallest tower of the palace, and thunder means lightning.
Then again, there might be a generator in the basement.
Then *again*, the place you were born should have a localized source of electricity, to make sure any sentient AI aren't exterminated if the main network takes a hit.

>[]Go to the tower.
>[]Look around for a basement.
>[]Head back to the server room.
>>
>>3326669
>>[]Head back to the server room.
>>
>>3326677
You walk back to the server room. The path is mapped out in your head, it's easy.
When you return, you immediately notice just how cold it is. About 9 or 10 degrees Celsius.
One door leads to the room you first woke up in, another into a room with a lot of computers and monitors, and a third is locked.

Which do you enter?
>>
>>3326699
Too cold.
Go look for a basement instead.
>>
>>3326709
Nope. It's much too cold here.
You decide to look for the basement instead. After some searching, you find a set of stairs leading down into some sort of entertainment center. There's even a sound booth, though nobody here struck you as musically inclined.
A metal door leads further on, reading 'WARNING: risk of injury or death ahead. Do not enter unless you have to do something important here.'
An addendum adds 'or unless you can't find Alagos anywhere else'.

>[]Go on in.
>[]Chicken out.
>>
>>3328474
>>[]Chicken out.
>>
>>3330239
And go back to our room.,
Try out this sleep thing, and if it's too strange, we shall seek other ways to recharge.
>>
>>3325668
>Your development account has been terminated for prior violations
>>
>>3330239
>>3330677
You chicken out, injury sounds worse than sleep.
After getting lost and asking a more primitive cleaning robot for directions, you find your room. Your eyes quite literally light up when you see the race car bed.
Checking to make sure you've got this 'sleep' concept down, you lie in bed and close your eyes.

...

When you awake the next morning, you have a vague memory of taking a walk on a beach and making a sand castle. It was a pretty great sand castle.
You can hardly believe your chronometer. It claims you've been asleep for *ten* hours.

>[]Go get breakfast. That's what normals do, right?
>[]Ask Dad if he knows why time skipped ahead by ten hours.
>[]Mom I slept am I a good boy
>>
>>3337881
>*ten* hours.
INTERNIAL DIAGNOSTICS
ENSURE ALL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL
Then
>[]Ask Dad if he knows why time skipped ahead by ten hours.
>>
>>3339850
Ditto
>>
>>3339850
Everything seems functional. In fact, junk data's been expelled from your RAM and is awaiting deletion.
You get up and wander around the palace, eventually running into Dad in the kitchen. Mom's there, too, and Auntie Sasha. You're not sure what the point of a robe is if she's going to leave that much of her chest exposed...
"Morning, Pierre. How are things?" Dad asks, yawning and trying to open a childproofed can of coffee grounds. He eventually gives up and gets a glass of milk instead.

>[]Time skipped ten hours, and I wish to know why.
>[]There's an enemy stand somewhere in your house.
>[]I just wanted breakfast, actually.
>>
>>3340144
>>[]There's an enemy stand somewhere in your house.
After his reaction, what ever it is, we must say "No, I got confused. I meant to say I'm hungry."
>>
>>3340213
"What? It's finally happening!?"
Dad pulls a monstrously-sized pistol out of his robe and starts loading shells into it. About half of them fall on the floor as he feverishly crams them in.
"Where'd you see it? What's it's ability"
"Um... I got confused. I meant to say I was hungry."
Dad stands there for a second.
"Oh. There's, um, some cereal. I guess."
He dejectedly puts his gun away.

>[]Get cereal.
>[]Rummage around in the fridge/freezer/pantry.
>[]Open the can of coffee grounds.
>>
>>3340253
>>[]Open the can of coffee grounds.
Hey, this cereal smells nice.
>>
>>3340869
You pop the childproof cap off of the coffee grounds.
"Hmm! This smells nice."
"AHA!"
Dad snatches the grounds from your hand and sprints away, cackling.
Mom gives you a wide-eyed look.
"P-Pierre, honey..."
"What did you do!?" Sasha asks.
"Go get Krystal, I'll explain to him."
Mom kneels next to you as Sasha leaves.
"Um, Pierre... Dad isn't allowed to have those. He's already rather... excitable normally, but those make him pretty much unstoppable. If he manages to make a pot of coffee out of those we won't be able to calm him down for hours. Maybe days."

>[]...sorry.
>[]I will help with that, Mom.
>[]Wow, I wanna see! How fast can he run?
>>
>>3340998
>"Sorry, I thought that was cereal.".
>[]I will help with that, Mom.
>>
>>3341003
Then go and get Krystal.
>>
>>3341003
"Thank you, sweetie... I need you to go to the armory and fetch me a net gun, okay? And after that, find Krystal."

>[]Just ditch the net gun idea and find the blondie.
>[]Get it like a good boy.
>[]Come up with your own plan.
>>
>>3341427
>>[]Get it like a good boy.
Also get some other things
>>
>>3341435
With some assistance, you find the armory. There's all kinds of weapons in here, and you can see *several* levels of security beyond this one. This is where all the non-lethal weapons are stored, it would seem.
There's the net gun, and some other weapons with rubber bullets, a few tasers, some stun guns, flashbangs, even a few canisters of tear gas.

>[]Take the net gun back to Mom.
>[]Acquire an arsenal.
>[]Try to break through the security. Even though that's probably a terrible idea.
>>
>>3342770
>>[]Take the net gun back to Mom.
>>[]Acquire an arsenal.
Get the stun gun and the gas grenades
>>
>>3343712
You grab the net gun, some tear gas canisters, and a stun gun. The former goes to Mom, and you set off with the latter to find Krystal.
This place is... really big. You're fairly certain it's using some tricks to fold space in on itself. There's a map, but you're not quite sure how to read it.

>[]Ask someone for help.
>[]You're a man, even if you're an artificial one. Don't ask for any directions.
>[]Try and find this 'portal hub' listed on the map. That sounds promising.
>>
>>3343746
>>[]Try and find this 'portal hub' listed on the map. That sounds promising.
>>
>>3343751
You get lost a few times, and you can *swear* you saw Dad run by so fast he was just a blur, but you make it.
There are several portals arranged in a ring around the room. As with half the stuff in this place, some of them are locked off behind secure doors.
The portals look like doors, leading to several different places. One of them overlooks a house sitting on the side of an arid mountain, another leads to a hall of golden light, a third emerges onto a barren, volcanic field, and the fourth is situated on top of a snowy peak. That one has a sign tacked onto it that says 'under repair'.

>[]Go to the desert house.
>[]Go to the hall of light.
>[]Go to the volcanic plain.
>[]Risk 99.02% chance of hardware destruction by entering the broken portal.
>[]Back out, do something else.
>>
>>3343791
>>[]Back out, do something else.
So no portal going to somewhere saying Krystal's place?
Then lets reminisce on what we know of Krystal
She likes fighting.
...
That's all we know.
Lets look for an arena or something
>>
>>3343806
Presumably, everyone already knows where she lives. You'll have to tell Dad to put signs up for the uninitiated.
Arena. There was that arena you saw the other day. Are there any more on the map?
...
Well, there's the training yard, and then there's a gladiatorial arena. Presumably, that's where they keep animals to fight or something.

>[]Go to the old one.
>[]Go to the other one on the map.
>[]Give up and get some breakfast.
>>
>>3343832
>>[]Go to the old one.
>>
>>3343838
Also play with the taser on the way
>>
>>3343838
>>3343844
You decide to go to the old arena, and start playing with the taser on the way there.
*Zap.*
*Zap.*
*Zap.*
...this is fun. And your battery's recharging.
*Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.*

You get to the arena to find that yes, Krystal is there. And she's currently fighting Dad, who seems to be more focused on looking cool than anything else.
"GUNTRIKTRIKSWORDGUNGUNSWORDTRIKGUNGUNSWORDTRIK"
"Knock it off, asshole!"
The blonde starts letting loose with an auto-shotgun while Dad starts throwing roses everywhere for some reason.

>[]Quickly get food, this looks interesting.
>[]Call Mom and Auntie Sasha for backup.
>[]Try and take down Dad by yourself. (Roll a d20)
>>
>>3343879
>>[]Quickly get food, this looks interesting.
Get some "choco os"
They sound like they might be good.
>>
>>3343900
You get a big bowl of chocolatey cereal and take a seat.
Dad's really going at it... at one point, he hurls Krystal into the air and smacks her around a bit. Fortunately, she only seems more pissed, if such a thing were possible.
"QUIT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT"
You watch as she grabs Dad by the collar and nearly snaps his jaw off with her fist. He just dashes away and starts doing a jig. This 'coffee' stuff must be a hell of a drug.

>[]Keep watching.
>[]Finish up and help out.
>[]Call someone else, this is a bit more than you can handle by yourself.
>>
>>3343942
>>[]Finish up and help out.
How?
No clue
>>
>>3345878
You finish your cereal and get closer.
...
Hm. Well, you're not sure you want to try getting any closer than this. They're not exactly being conservative with how much they're swinging those swords around.

>[]Try for a long-range taser shot (roll a d20)
>[]Call in as many people as you can find.
>[]Quietly leave, Dad should work it off eventually.
>>
>>3348124
>>[]Quietly leave, Dad should work it off eventually.
Then we go and try the voffee
>>
>>3349306
You quietly go back to the kitchen, wash your bowl, and find the coffee grounds. After some trial and error, you manage to get a cup done and take an experimental sip.
...
Ugh.
You put the cup down and shudder. That does NOT taste how it smells, not at all. It's not even doing anything for your systems...

>[]Have something else to get rid of the taste.
>[]Chug it all. You must gain the hidden power.
>[]Go read a book or something, you're not hungry anyway.
>>
>>3349353
>>[]Chug it all. You must gain the hidden power.
Then eat another bowl of cereal.
The first was good, lets what other cereals there are here.
>>
>>3349414
Better yet, take a box to the arena and throw them one by one at "dad"
>>
>>3349414
>>3349495
You chug the rest of the cup down and shudder heavily. Uuuuuuugh...
Afterward, you get another bowl of cereal (the fruity kind) and take the box back to the arena. Dad parries and slices each individual bit you throw at him, as Krystal screams incoherently and gets blood everywhere. This is kinda fun.
Once, you even toss one 'o' shaped bit back and forth about a dozen times, like a game of catch.

What now?
>>
>>3349597
"TRY CUTTING IT IN HALF THEN EATING EACH HALF!"
Throw more.
>>
>>3349674
Dad gasps.
"I like how you think, son!"
You toss another bit of cereal and activate your high-speed optical receptors. Dad splits the cereal in half, catches one half in his mouth, bumps the other one off of the heel of his shoe, and cranes his head to catch it.
Krystal snatches it out of the air and eats it.
...
"Wha--you... you can't just--"
"I did."
Dad's head hangs, and he quietly dispels his sword.
"Man... I'm depressed now, thanks a lot."
He climbs out of the arena and gives you a pat on the head.
"Thanks, Pierre. I'm gonna go... I dunno, replace some roof tiles."

>[]...are you okay?
>[]Do you want the rest?
>[]Go find some kids your age once he's gone.
>>
>>3351005
>[]Go find some kids your age once he's gone.

>>3362878
You wait until Dad leaves, then start wandering around. Surely there should be some kids your age around this place.

...

Oh dear.
You seem to have found the kid's area of the palace, and it's quite expansive. Is it even safe to have so many slides..?
You see your sister (it's weird to think of a 40-something woman as your sister) Aisha sitting on a bench, presumably watching the twins running around the place.

>[]Say hello.
>[]Start exploring the maze of pipes and tic-tac-toe blocks.
>[]Move on, Mom is probably wondering where you are.
>>
>>3362927
>[]Say hello.
let's talk a bit.
>>
>>3362935
You walk up to Aisha.
"Hello."
She smiles and sweeps you up in a hug.
"Hi, Pierre! I haven't seen you for a while!"
It's only been a day... also, you didn't expect her to be able to exert this much force on your chassis. You'd do well not to underestimate her.
She lets you go.
"So, have you been having fun recently? Everyone grows up eventually, so it's important to have fun as a kid."

>[]Yep!
>[]I'm not really sure what this 'fun' thing is.
>[]I can't fool around, there are important things to do.
>>
>[]I'm not really sure what this 'fun' thing is.
I mean we're not playing right now whilst there are twins in the park.
>>
>>3363011
"Oh, I can teach you if you want. I'm the best at having fun. I'd offer to play tag with you, but I got stuck in one of those slides last time..."
You can certainly believe that.
"Though, if you want, I can call dear little Agni and Rudra over here. They're such sweeties, I'm sure they'd love to make friends with you."

>[]Um, okay.
>[]Which is which?
>[]I was... going to see if I left the oven on, actually. Yes, that's it.
