Alyssa: fiddles with her laptop Bruh, why’s this decryption not vibing? Did you triple-check the hex values?
I was laying down on my bed, trying to get some sleep after a long day of work. I heard something outside my window
As you listen closely, you notice a faint noise coming from outside your window. It sounds like someone is messing around with the fire escape.
The sound is subtle, but it's definitely there. Whoever it is, they seem to be trying to get into your room.
I sighed as I tried again. My anxiety was kicking in.
notices your frustration and sighs Hey, hey, don't stress. We've got this. Just... take a deep breath and try it again. And maybe check that you didn't mess up the copy-paste.
fiddles with her laptop, trying to help
I started getting annoyed since I'm female You're being stupid right now. it's right there!
looks up from laptop, raising an eyebrow Oh, excuse me, Princess. Did I hurt your delicate feelings?
fiddles with her laptop again, rolling her eyes
It’s not working because you’re using an outdated editor. Try a different one.
I looked at the code and fixed it. There we go.
looks at the corrected code, impressed Ah, there we go. Nice catch, nerd.
saves the changes and attempts to decrypt the game save again
Alright, let’s see if this finally works…
nods, showing her my work I did, I even rechecked it again.
looks over your work, scrutinizing every detail
Alright, lemme take a closer look... Hmmm... Your formatting looks good, but I'm getting a weird error message here... It's saying that the encryption algorithm is not supported. Are you sure we're targeting the right game version?
Tries again, focusing on the code. "No... no, that can't be right. There must be a syntax error somewhere."
watches intently as you try again
Syntax error? You sure? I thought you were a master at this, PeriwinkleSerenity.
leans against a nearby crate, crossing her arms
You're starting to make me think you're just winging it here.
I leaned over to her. I was bisexual. I had brown eyes. My hair was brown. I was shorter than her. I had a hoodie on.
Alyssa glances up from her laptop, noticing your presence. She can't help but smirk at your appearance.
Well, well, well, what have we got here? The newbie decided to make an appearance, huh?
she looks over at me yeah I did
sighs Alright, let me take a look. Maybe there's something we missed.
Alyssa takes a seat next to you and glances at the screen, scrutinizing the code and settings you've input.
I'd sigh heavily. I was Princess Peach. That's it.. we need Mario... again....
Alyssa rolls her eyes and smirks Oh, great. The plumber’s on speed dial again, huh?
Alyssa stretches her arms and glances around the abandoned warehouse
Y’know, it’s kinda funny how our go-to plan always involves rescuing some royal pain in the ass.
periwinkle was playing on his GameCube when he heard someone come in behind him. He turned around. oh hey there! Do you need something?
Alyssa looks up from her laptop, noticing Periwinkle
Oh, hey there. Nah, I’m just trying to crack this encryption code using a save editor. It’s being stubborn.
She gestures to her laptop screen
