12TH DAY - [Video]

[babel_hacker]

Yo, everyone! [HEY PROSPERO GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS?] I’m here with another update!

[HERE BE THE SHADOW DATABASE UPDATE. New arrivals will just get the latest updated program.]

A little later than normal, sorry about that! And also, for anyone that’s wondering? It seems like Caliban got more votes over Tartarus for the dungeon’s name. There were new contenders for the throne, such as ‘Danger Zone’ or ‘a pain in the ass’. So unless you people vote for them instead, Caliban will be our dungeon’s name!

…Of course, if you guys want to use it. The name won’t stick if we don’t.

[SO...] As always, I’m here to answer any questions you might about the database or anything else.

[Teacher looks vaguely displeased.]

This coding could be neater.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[...Yeah, it's been a while since he heard that tone. He looks over the coding again.]

...Yeah, it could be.

[unknownrival]

Thank you very much. I appreciate your continuing to do this.

[crouching_sin]

[He sighs and rubs his face.]

Send me the source code and I'll clean it up. I need something to occupy my time with, anyway.

[He's reduced to using library computers. Library computers, Atsuro.]

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Alright.

[Blah blah sending the source code over or however it goes.

Oh my god, library computers. Hope you save up money for a good laptop or computer, Naoya.]

You got a lot of free time?

[babel_hacker]

You're welcomed. I'm still glad I can help people like this.

[princesszero]

Am I still on time to vote for "a pain in the ass"?

[truthsnomiracle]

One would think that if the dungeon were truly significant to the case, it would already have a name of its own -- merely one that we're as yet unaware of.

I don't believe I properly commended you for this before. But thank you for the service, child.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... There. And yes. He's trying.]

I've been unable to find a job so far. I'd prefer to run my own business, but I'm lacking in startup capital...

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Even if they don't ask for reference...you still need money. Maybe someone here will offer a job opening?

[LIKE GILGAMESH.]

[Audio]

[babel_hacker]

Yep, but Caliban still got a head start.

[babel_hacker]

So far, I haven't seen any sign of the dungeon's name or anyone telling it to us. Anyone that's not us.

[babel_hacker]

It's no problem, Mrs. Barnes.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

I've been looking for one of those. No luck yet...

[truthsnomiracle]

As I presumed. It should simply come as no surprise if we learn of another name at some future time.

Has any consideration been given to taking notes about common tactics employed by the various Shadows? There seem to be few enough species to make the task manageable.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Hope you'll find one soon. If not...well, I might ask around?

[babel_hacker]

From what I've seen and the data so far, Shadows of the same 'species' generally employ the same or similiar tactics. One group will always use magic and another are more likely to physically strike us than use spells.

There are also Shadows that come in mixed groups, so a varied team would be better at defeating them.

[unknownrival]

You're invaluable.

[truthsnomiracle]

Perhaps by next month I could be of some assistance. I anticipate a heavy workload this month; in addition, I'm still not confident enough with my combat skills as yet to take to the field, nor have I managed to purchase any armor.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

I can take care of this myself.

[He has his standards. And his pride.]

[caliberill]

Great job with this, Atsuro-- think I'll stick with calling it a pain in the ass, though.

[A laugh and he shrugs.] You been busy with this?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Of course. [As expected. He can't help but smile a bit.]

[babel_hacker]

Yeah, I know. [Hearing that reminds him of his Shadow. Only for a short moment.] So I do the best I can while I'm still here.

[babel_hacker]

Go right ahead. Just as long we all know what we're referring to.

[Hahah.] And yep. It's what I'm working on between school, work and training.
