herbert_83:
excuse me? i think im lost…how do i get to Level 134 from here?
Blanche:
Well, I need to know where "here" is… Can you describe your surroundings?
herbert_83:
Looks like.. a forest? There's a lot of trees. I've taken pictures of all of them. I've been walking down this path for a while. It's really pretty.
Blanche:
A forest… have you tried looking it up in the M.E.G. database?
herbert_83:
Well, yes, but the page seems broken…
Blanche:
How strange… the M.E.G. database is usually reliable, or so I've heard. Please allow me a moment to read this page.
Blanche:
Oh, a recent discovery, how intriguing! According to this page, you should be able to reach Level 134 by entering a cave near the Forest Outpost.
herbert_83:
Okay! Thank you for your help.
User herbert_83 has left the room.
Blanche:
How curious… I could swear I've seen these images before. A dream, perhaps? Oh well. It should be a mere coincidence, humans dream of liminal space all the time…
User Enoch_1947 has entered the room.
Enoch_1947
Miss Blanche, my dear! Is that you?"
Enoch_1947
A little bird told me that you now have yourself one of those "computer nets" that I've heard those young wanderers talking about! Once the little bird flew away, I came here to check out what all the fuss was about.
Enoch_1947
So, if this is really Miss Blanche's net…how are you, my dear?
Blanche:
Hello, Enoch! It is truly a delight to hear (I suppose "read" would be more appropriate?) from you. I'd say I'm doing quite well, I confess to being a little nervous about this "chatroom" deal… but it has been a pleasant experience so far. I must say, however, that I am rather surprised to chat with you here of all places…
Enoch_1947
Ah, lovely! I must say this is much more convenient than sending letter, though my fingers do miss the fine touch of a quill and parchment…
Blanche:
Oh, how I agree with you… regardless of how convenient these new digital means are, they are no replacement for hand-written letters. Tell me, dear Enoch, how have you been? Have you been successful in studying that elusive blue bird?
Enoch_1947
Jerry? Why no, Miss Blanche, no such luck yet. However, I did come across a plush toy that looks like Jerry! I won him after playing a marble game that was sort of like Baffle Ball…pachinka, I think it was called? Or was it paclunko? In any case, once I see you again, Miss Blanche, this plush souvenier is all yours!
Blanche:
While I appreciate the gesture, such gifts aren't necessary between friends, Enoch…
Enoch_1947
Now, now, Miss Blanche! After all of the kindness you have shown to me it is only fair that I provide you a token of my appreciation in return. Not to mention that I am a tad bit old to be carrying around plush toys, someone young like you should care for this soft fellow! Besides, soon I will best the real blasted blue macaw, mark my words!
Blanche:
Well, if you insist… I'll accept your gift.
Enoch_1947
Pardon me, Miss Blanche! But I think I may have spotted the blue devil himself nearby! Why yes he's…he's taunting me, yet again! Sorry to cut things short, my dear…you take care now!
Blanche:
Oh, Enoch… never one to stay in one place for too long, I see. Do take care, dear, one as old as yourself should know when to slow down. As always, if you find yourself in need of rest, I'll be more than glad to welcome you to my library.

would this happen to be the bookkeeper?
Blanche:
Blanche Von Haderach. A pleasure to meet you. Tell me, what brings you here?
crin :
no reason, thanks. nice meeting you.
User crin has left the room.
Blanche:
A rather sudden leave… was it something I said?
Kayn42:
Probably just a poor connection, Blanche.

User camcaffery has entered the room.
camcaffery:
helo. its me. the sightles girl who came into your library a few weeks ago.
Blanche:
Ah, greetings! Adeline, was it? Or I suppose you'd prefer me to call you "Addy," yes?
camcaffery:
yes. im surprised you rememberd.
Blanche:
It's very rare for me to forget, I am an archivist, after all. Besides, I couldn't forget such a delightful guest. You were ever so polite, albeit very energetic… anyway… you're blind, are you not? My good friends at the M.E.G.'s Team New Horizons have yet to find a way to implement what they call "text-to-speech", a rather handy feature, I'll admit, so I'm rather curious as to how you were able to contact me.
camcaffery:
oh, well, I have one of my new freinds help me type it out. that aside I want to thank you, madame. for helping me. for helping all of us. i could never understand your kindness, not after everything that the M.E.G. used to teach us… teach me….
Blanche:
I can see how hard it could be to understand. It is why I put countless efforts into the research I do. It's alright, truly - and you need not call me Madame, there's no need for such formalities between friends.
camcaffery:
the Leading Maidens require us to. and eithre way, I think it suits you very well.
Blanche:
I have to agree that "Madame Blanche" does have a nice ring to it… thank you, I suppose.
camcaffery:
thank you as well. i cannot stay long now, but I hope to visit you again soon.
Blanche:
Farewell. Feel free to visit whenever you'd like, dear. The Cygnus Archive is always open to guests.

User ArthurW_24 has entered the room.
ArthurW_24:
You're an all-knowing being. Is it possible to control my fear? I keep pissing my pants every time something scares me.
Blanche:
It is possible to control one's fear, yes. However, it'll require some time, and some patience, but I'm sure you'll be able to reach such a point soon enough, dear.
ArthurW_24:
Alright, next question. Is it possible to control my bladder and never have to use the restroom?
Blanche:
I'm assuming you're human… and if that's the case, it's not possible to refrain from ever using the restroom again. It's one of the processes by which your body eliminates toxic substances.
ArthurW_24:
hm ok. Thanks. Goodbye!
Blanche:
Farewell, dear.

User Agent_Aria has entered the room.
Agent_Aria:
Wow, you sure know a lot of information! Do you have a perfect eidetic memory? What tips do you have for people who need help remembering retaining information not forgetting important stuff.
Blanche:
Well, as you're probably aware, I'm not exactly human, so my memory functions a little differently… but it is rare for me to forget. Memory is mostly a matter of organizing information, so I suggest taking written notes, using mnemonics, or even talking to yourself!
User Agent_Aria has left the room.
User crin has entered the room.
crin :
… would you, by any chance, be able to tell me anything about the workings of the MEG?
Blanche:
Oh, it's you again! I'm somewhat familiar with how the M.E.G works, but they tend to keep such information hidden from outsiders… so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to publicly disclose it. Still, I'll be glad to answer your questions to the best of my abillity. May I know who am I having the pleasure of chatting with?
crin :
well, it was worth a shot. thanks.
User crin has left the room.
Blanche:
Leaving again? I wonder if it was something I said…
User C00L EMPL0Y33 has entered the room.
C00L EMPL0Y33:
I have discovered social medias to bring you all the comfort and joy of Backrooms Remodelling Co. Brand Products!!! I am excited!!!!! Look at the amount of exclamation marks I am using!!!! this means I am hyped!!!!!
Blanche:
I'm happy to see you're quite excited, but I must ask what exactly do you mean by "hyped". In the early 18th century, the term "hyp" was colloquial for hypochondria, the "unfounded belief that one is sick," a narrowing from the earlier sense "depression or melancholy without real cause". I wonder if the word has picked up new meaning over the past three centuries… humans are quite quick when it comes to changes in language.
C00L EMPL0Y33:
Ms. Blanche, are you considering any upgrades to your library? The Backrooms Remodeling and Furniture Company can help you!
Blanche:
I thank you for the offer, but I don't think the Cygnus Archive is in need of renovations. It is quite old, yes, but I've come to like it that way. I am, however, interested in those Reality Fresheners of yours… though I doubt I have anything I could pay you with…
C00L EMPL0Y33:
Are you sure?!!!! We have a huge sale going on today!!!!
Blanche:
Oh, lovely! I'm not quite sure if they will serve the purposes I have in mind, but there's only way to find out, I suppose. So, what are your prices?
C00L EMPL0Y33:
Well, you can get one spray bottle of Reality Freshener for only 🜚🝈🜱, and, only today, you can get six by only 🜗🝪🝣🝳!! That's a 🜾🝮% discount!
Blanche:
I see… admitedly cheaper than what I had expected. I do have my doubts, though… I'll think about it and then contact you again once I've made up my mind, is that okay?
C00L EMPL0Y33:
Indeed it is! Please, take your time to consider! But not too long!!! Time is money!! Haha!! That is a joke!!!!
Blanche:
Very well. Until we meet again, dear "C00L EMPL0Y33".

helelo

WAIT
emgay:
WWAIT THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT TO MAKE MY NAME F%&£
emgay:
PLEASE HELP
Blanche:
I belive you can change your name on this chatroom, dear… but, putting that rather amusing incident aside, have we met before?
emgray:
okay i found the change name button, thx lol! also no! i just found this link onsite and was bored! me and titan are locked in a room without a way out at the moment. how are you!
Blanche:
I see, a new acquaintance… In that case, a proper introduction is required. My name is Blanche Von Haderach, keeper of the Cygnus Archive. What about you? Who is this Titan you speak of? Lastly, your current situation seems a little concerning… are you two alright?
Blanche:
To answer your question, though, I'm doing quite well at the moment. I just finished my cup of tea, and Berry fell asleep on my lap.
emgray:
yes! nice to meet you blanche :D
also nah we're good and great! there's something outside the door now, but when we came in we forgot to put something in the door, so we'll just have to wait around a bit. and titan! titan's cool, he's my alligator friend from 81. the uh, animals level. we were on our way there actually! as for introductions and such, right… i'm emily gray! keeper of uh… ipods, i guess. i have a lot of those.
emgray:
also, yay tea! i personally am not a huge fan (but green tea monsters are gr8) and berry sounds neato! pets falling asleep in laps is great. not really an option with titan. maybe if i were a bit stronger but i am… very scrawny XD
also, sidenote: archive? like books and stuff?
Blanche:
A pleasure to meet you, Emily. ^_^
Blanche:
An.. aligator? A rather odd choice of pet, but you do seem to get along. I've read about those "ipods", but I'll admit, I've yet to understand them… oh well, I'll learn someday. I still worry about your current situation, are there any books in that room?
Blanche:
I hear energy drinks aren't that healthy… drink them with moderation, will you? Oh, the Cygnus Archive is an extensive library. I'd love to have you as a guest sometime.
emgray:
good to meet you 2!
also yeah, titan's a bit of a handful to feed but a good pal :) maybe i can bring you some ipods sometime!!! also ah… books? i think there's a computer manual somewhere in here, i kinda shoved it off the table but i could find it in a sec :P
emgray:
also you may be right but they keep me goin! plus they taste good :D i hydrate plenty so dont worry 'bout that ^___^ i could also probably get back into reading… it's been a few years LOL
emgray:
ah, computer manual. my old enemy. found it!
Blanche:
I'm glad to hear you've found Titan to be a good friend. That would be lovely! Such chances to get my hands on human artifacts are rare.
Blanche:
As long as you take good care of yourself… if anything were to happen to you, who would take care of Titan? If you do elect to begin reading again, I'll be more than glad to lend you some of my books.
Blanche:
Oh, the computer manual may come in handy, though I doubt you can use it to reach me…
emgray:
aww that's true…
books sound nice! i could maybe look into one about alligators to try and keep titan safe n happy.. and the computer manual could actually be a good doorstop next time! for now i guess i could find a way to break off this door handle so titan and i can go back to looking for 81. hope you have a nice day/night/afternoon/(insert wacky and weird backroom time here)! it was definitely nice to meet you and i'll be sure to try and find a way to visit sometime!
Blanche:
I'll see if I can find something on the topic. It was a delight to chat with you, Emily. Do keep an eye out for any books you may find on your travels, if you find one signed by me, that's your ticket to the Cygnus Archive, so to speak. I look forward to meeting you in person. Farewell, dear, and do take care.
emgray:
goodbye!!! i will try banche

User emgray has entered the room.
The connection is quite poor, but I am quite surprised it worked.
I am the Angel of $%#/@!/=, nice to meet you guys!
I am quite impressed that someone could do something like this, especially someone like you, Blanche.
Usually, I would not be impressed by anything you all do, everything is a repetitive cycle, nothing new to see, nothing new to do, everything going into this cursed loop.
But it seems like you might break this loop soon enough, but not yet, millions of years into the future, the story will change.
All of this will be just a small step towards something big, but the road will be full of dead ends, some of which will soon come, be prepared for -%$^#$#^#%$&$"#.
I will be waiting to meet you!
Blanche:
Is this… supposed to happen?
AxlLow2187:
probs a bug or glitch, dw
Blanche:
This is clearly a message, dear. I wonder who sent it…
User Minsi has entered the room.
Minsi:
Miss Haderach? Is this that chatroom Faith said I could contact you with?
Blanche:
Minsi! Hello, dear. It has been quite some time since our last chat. How have you been doing? Is everything alright?
Minsi:
All is good as of now, what with all the exploring I've been doing recently, I've been having a blast! It's a nice change of pace from that time rift I was in a while ago.
Minsi:
I just messaged to check up a bit on you. How have things been? Oh! And how's Berry?
Blanche:
I'm very glad to hear you're having fun! As for myself I'm… coming to grips with this "chat room" thing. I apologize for the delay in my response, I'm… not quite used to typing just yet. I must say, however, it has been a lovely experience thus far. Berry is currently curled up in my lap. I think he fell asleep… my gosh is he adorable.
Minsi:
That's very nice to hear!
Minsi:
I'd love to visit you all some time soon, exploring is fun and all but you can't beat a nice, hot peppermint tea and a good book.
Minsi:
Speaking of books, I started authoring one myself. It's a compilation of all the places I've been to so far and all the people I've encountered that didn't run away as soon as they saw me. I'll show that to you someday!
Blanche:
Oh, that is wonderful news! I'd love to read it, it does sound like an interesting book. Feel free to visit whenever you'd like, you'll always be a welcome guest at my library.
Minsi:
It would be a pleasure as usuwgn46iwvwiw4862wvwvw62roibv

Minsi:

Minsi:
Everything ok now, my apologies Missie.
Minsi:
One of those sark crabs came onto me, it's the only thing I hate about this level I'm in right now. They're a real nuisance…
Blanche:
Oh my… be careful, will you? Sark Crabs, while usually peaceful, have powerful claws that can cause serious harm.
Minsi:
Ugh, tell me. I got pinched trying to get my items back, it hurt like hell, even though my skin's as hard as a rock…
Minsi:
Here's a picture of that rascal.
Minsi:
Blanche:
Aww. What a lovely little fellow.
Minsi:
Anyways, I need to go now. The good Captain and his crew are doing a bit of a jig and they want to show me how it's done. I'm off for now Miss Haderach, hopefully see you soon!
Blanche:
Sounds lovely, I'm sure you'll all get along. Send Captain and the crew my regards, it has been quite some time since their last visit. Have fun, be mindful of Brutus, and take care, will you, dear?
Minsi:
Sure thing, Blanche!
User Minsi has left the room.
Blanche:
It makes me happy to see Minsi putting that adventurous impulse of his to good use.

You're the one who stole him from us. Give him back.

Berry isn't going anywhere. He's elected to return to me, and the least you could do is respect his wish.

Do you even realize what you are doing? You're leaving this world in the dark. Berry is what brings life to our reality.

Have I not made myself clear, dear? You Visionaries have it all wrong. He was never yours to begin with and he never will. He is happy here, understood?

Hello! It seems to be working quite well. May I know who am I having the pleasure of chatting with?

Well howdy there Blanche! I go by Simon, but most people call me the Lunatic due to my, heh, appearance. I don't believe we've met formally but I run a casino on what the folks at the M.E.G. call Level 777.
Blanche:
Simon Etterick, correct? I prefer to address people by name. I've read… a few things about you, but I must say it is a delight to finally be able to chat. Tell me, what brings you here?
the_loon:
Well, I had just noticed a terminal sitting in the corner over in my establishment and I've gotta say, you are quite the interesting read as well… Say, if ya ever need a few extra hands, I'd gladly send a few of me over to assist~
Blanche:
Thank you for the offer, but I must politely decline. Firstly because it won't be needed, I'm more than capable of performing my duties as keeper of the Cygnus Archive on my own. Secondly, because I wouldn't be able to work knowing that those "extra hands" were once ordinary humans.

Argos:
I learned some very valuable lessons from this.
Blanche:
Knowing you, dear, I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away from this…
