I looked back at the blinking chat window with [???] sowhat mortified. A divine fragnt...Is this...? Is this soone else? What the hell?
It had been a minute since [???] sent their last ssage and I could almost feel the anxiety radiating through the connection over not having answered yet. Wait, this is weird...Am I projecting or am I actually feeling their anxiety through this? I shook my head, trying not to get too lost in the weeds.
[Silvie: Hey, sorry I was trying to figure out the answer to your second question. No, I’m not in a void, my world is very colorful and full of life and movent. As to your second question, it seems soone put you in my soulscape to fuel so kind of system. But one of my friends recently changed this system so that now you’re more free and you and I can communicate. Does that all make sense?]
I looked at the blinking screen, waiting for them to reply.
[???: I’m...in your soulscape??]
[Silvie: Uh...yeah, yeah you are]
[???: B-but...h-how? Aren’t I a person? I can’t really rember much about who I am, but sothing in seems to tell that this is wrong...]
[???: C-could you...possibly...h-help ? Or your friend? If they seem to know what’s going on...]
I frowned, my heart aching a little.
[Silvie: What do you want, little bean?]
[???: Little bean?? Who’s little!?]
[Silvie: You are, my little bean ;)]
[???: >:(]
[Silvie: But seriously, what do you want? Do you want to get out of that void? Do you want to try to help you see what the world is like out here? My friend’s even gotten bodies for her friends when they were like this, is that what you want?]
[???: I...I don’t really know, Big Sister. I think...Could you do sothing about this numbness? It feels like half my body’s being used for sothing and I don’t really like it.]
[Silvie: I can’t make any promises, but I’ll talk to my friend, and see what she can do. Hang tight, alright?]
I switched over to my chat with Noe.
[Silvie: Hey, sorry to bother you again. It seems this little soul fragnt is just waking up and is rather confused and lonely. Also they say that their body feels numb, like it’s being used for sothing? Is this because of the System?]
I look at the ssage for a mont wondering if I should say more, but decide to wait for the answer to my question before plying Noe for favors.
[Developer: No worries, Silvie, I’m more than happy to help with this. I just looked over the chat logs with the fragnt. It’s hard to say for certain without a closer look, but it’s possible that the numbness is due to their power being used without their consent or control. I could offer certain elentary access features to start, and see if that helps?]
Tch. ’just looked over the chat logs’ my a**, you were definitely just reading them as we went along. No way did you look over all that and type your response in the last 30 seconds.
[Silvie: Sure, seems like it’s worth a shot!]
[Developer: Alright, give a few monts. You might want to tell the fragnt what we’re about to do.]
I typed in a few words to let [???] know that we were about to try sothing, and then sat back looking at the screen, waiting for feedback from either side.
Damn, why does this feel like waiting for tech support from my old world? I put my hands behind my head, looking up at the ceiling of the shadow box. Except instead of a crashing computer, I’m dealing with...a trapped soul fragnt newly awakening to consciousness? Damn, what a crazy world.
My screen blinged with a chat notification and I quickly returned my focus to the chat windows.
[Administrator has ford a group chat]
[Developer has joined the chat]
[??? has joined the chat]
[Silvie has joined the chat]
[Developer: Hey ??? can you see this? My na is Noe, I’m working with your friend Silvie to help figure out your situation.]
[???: H-hi, um, y-yeah I can see this. Silvie said you’re g-going to try sothing?]
[Developer: Yes, our theory is that the system you are a part of is causing so of this numbness you’re describing, so we’re going to hand over a bit of control to see if this helps ease the issue.]
[???: O-ok, it sh-shouldn’t hurt, right?]
[Developer: I don’t believe so, but if it does, please let know right away, and if the problem persists we can roll back the changes.]
[Silvie: How you feeling, little bean, are you ready?]
[???: A little scared to be honest, b-but a little excited too, I think.]
[Silvie: Good, good :)]
[Developer: Well, shall we begin?]
[Silvie: I’m ready]
[???: S-sure]
The screen in front of flickered and then disappeared. I blinked. Things didn’t go wrong did they? But before I could start panicking another screen popped up.

I guess she had to restart it? It might have been nice to let us know...

I was just about to click the chat tab to reopen the conversations, when I froze. Is that...a face? I looked to the side of my magic tab where a little emoticon face was staring back at . Is this a gli—Ah! It blinked!! What the...
Quickly I opened the chat.
[Group chat]
[Developer: How did that feel ’???’? Any changes?]
[???: I CAN SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Developer: ? What do you an, What do you see? Is it the outside world?]
[Silvie:...]
[Developer: Silvie? Wait, what’s going on? Co on guys, I need data here] OuO/
[Developer:...]
[Developer: I see...]
[???: Sorry Sister Noe, I was so distracted looking I didn’t reply to your questions. I don’t know how sight is for you guys, but when I open my eyes all this information flows through my brain and I can feel and manipulate it a little. Plus in all this fog of information I see two looming silhouettes that are inputting the information that makes up the ssages you two are sending . I assu they are you?]
[Developer: Fascinating... I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this. ??? if you could—]
My reading was suddenly interrupted by a stream of light piercing through the box of shadows.
"Silvie! You’re awake!" Rivi’s adorable dark-haired face peeked through the opening.
