Hums and watches the boy and the devil, while also looking around to see what the others are doing and what 'activities' are available.

The Devil quickly deals the boy a hand and the two start playing some sort of card-game. The others in the room are humoring themselves in various ways, playing with the games, looking at the books and the Succubus is currently deep in conversation with IT.

A few minutes later, there is a yell and suddenly where the Clown had been standing is now a puff of pink smoke and a wobbling bottle of Elmer's Glue which spins around a few times before disappearing.

"Prisoner 399860322 has been nullified and transferred to containment glue for the duration of its incarceration."

The Succubus dusts off her fingernails and says, "Got that freak. Knew he'd do it."

Some of the others laugh.

She blinked a little and raised her brow. "What did he do?"

Found the Elmer's Glue thing a little odd considering everything else. A little annoyed there didn't seam to be any useful activities or anything she could build with.

“Oh, are you the one the kid thinks is a Verser? I’ve never met one of you before,” the Succubus explains and leans in, trying to see how ‘the kid’ can tell what she is. Getting a little closer.

Realizing she hadn’t answered the question, she shrugs.

“Disruption of membrane continuity, he tried to bite me. That’s one thing the knowledge-taker doesn’t like, he doesn’t want us getting hurt at all.”

Her ears lowered "Knowledge-taker?" she didn't really like the sound of that. But it did give credit to her plan working.... and she made a note to write the book in her blood, Rats blood, as it contained Rats memories. Rat controlled what was shared though so she was fairly sure it would be safe. But it could add another layer of chaos and information to overwhelm things.

“Yes, that’s the common theory. You must be new. The ones who have been here the longest all think that this place takes copies of people like me, and as we struggle to get out, the whole thing learns. It exists only to learn. It neuters a lot of what it learns, but most of it is still available from the library,” the Succubus explains as she walks over to the Hollow Man and gives him a once over.

The Hollow Man is simply staring at a spot on the wall.

“Anyway, everyone tries to escape in some way. Tries to break the system, thinks they’ve got some big-brain play that nobody else in an infinite span of time has ever thought of, and then their big plan goes off and barely cause a ripple.”

She pauses as she tries to think of what else she can share, her personality doesn’t strike Glitch as the sort of person who usually provides the tutorial lesson. This is just a lark. Boredom driving her to it.

“Oh, eventually you’ll get out, according to some, it’s always the ones who have reached a level of introspection and humility who find their way out. You can tell because they’ll have shown up at a purple-time like this, and you can sort of feel their zen. Then they are gone soon after.”

Eh meditation can go on the back burner. "Lots of ripples make a wave though, something just has to be good enough to get it started." She really had no understanding what some of the creatures here where though so she still had her hopes in place.

While she talked she did try and see if she could draw a blank book out of the library, not that it mattered but it could help her idea.

"If it was infinite it would be perfect already, and it wouldn't need us."

A plain book is produced with her name on the cover.

The Succubus doesn’t really care about Glitch’s theories, and walks away to go and play cards with the Devil and the Kid.

The Hoodie walks up to her at this point. “Hey, you want anything? I know people, it takes a while, but if you need something, I can help you get it. Last guy wanted nachos. Took me a while, but I got ‘em.”

She canted her head and humed. "How do you get stuff? Can you get a tasp gun? ... or tasp wand?"

Tasp devices where nick names for devices that directly stimulated the pleasure center of the brain, guns where just weaponized versions and tended to incapacitate people harmlessly. She didn't think who ever ran this place would disallow a weapon that don't hurt people at all, and more importantly it manipulated the brain and if she could rewire it she could use that.... maybe to help her get in contact with the other minds that where linked to her before.

If the hoodie guy is confused what a tasp is she explains. She don't care if it's weaponized or not   hell she will take some broken crap some one put together in the street by some junkie.

“That’s my business. I’d have to ask, but first, what can you do and do you have anything worth trading?” the Hoodie asks.

She offered up some smoke bombs. "The could be used to make an small explosive for some one who may think that will help."

"How many?" the Hoodie asks and then nods and makes a note on a sketch pad he carries. Putting it into his big central pocket, he thinks about it and wiggles his fingers around as he tries to figure out the logistics.

"Okay, so if you don't go into your assigned purple time, it'll keep offering every time afterward. So you can meet different people, got it? Well, meet up with me in say, thirty purple times. It'll be a few long-cycles from now, ya know?" he asks and once he's certain she gets it, he heads off through the arrival circle.

Business to do, signals to send.

"So don't go into purple time till the thirtieth?"

When that is cleared up she goes to check on the boy. "Your a verser?"

"Me? No, you are, duh, you're the only one I've ever seen here. In fact, I think we all assumed you types couldn't get pulled here," the Boy replies and slaps down a hand on the table. "Gin!"

There are groans from the others playing against the Boy.

(ooh i misread)

"OH sorry, my heads still mixed up from being split apart."

"So what else do you see about this place? How do you do that anyway? Is it a gift you can teach me?" She wasn't sure if it was something he was born with or a spiritual gift he learned or was given.

If he says it is she says she can teach some neat things too.

“Don’t think so?” the Boy replies. “Uh, mostly just people’s uh, aura? Soul? Inside parts? I’ve never had anyone tell me what I can do exactly, but I’m sure someone will know one day.” Picking up his new cards, he continues to play with the others.

At this point, a strange voice fills the room.

The Hollow Man speaks: “Verser, if you are ^interested, I can kill you and you will be free of this place. But you must make me a promise in return, a binding promise, that is.”

Everyone else not Glitch immediately gets up and leaves the room like the room is filled with snakes.

"I don't need your help for that, but that won't free my colony or others here." Seeing as everyone else has left, she dose too unless the hollow man has more to add.

The Hollow Man has nothing more to say.

The transport back to her cell is uneventful. She gets the sense that she has moved again, but in glancing around she notices someone in a cell not to far away flashing a light at another cell in the far-distance. Messages being relayed through some manner of code. It stops after a minute.

Hums and gets curious about something, she decides to try something. She tore off part of her bedding as she knew it would be fixed. Then got a blank book tearing out a place in the book to shove the bedding into it and put the book into the bookcase. She wasn't sure what this place would do with that. But it was something to explore. Let the library take the book and try and draw it out later and see if the bedding was still in it.

No matter what Glitch tries, it all seems fruitless. No combination of skills or trickery through the bookshelf seems to cause more than the slightest of ripples in the prison. Over a few days she manages to talk to a few people and figure out their basic method of communicating using light, and she can have very basic conversations with people between cells outside of Purple time, but it doesn't really get her much.

Time passes.

30 purples later, the meeting with Hoodie comes up again.

"I got it for you," the Hoodie says and holds the Tasp gun out for her, taking the smoke grenades in exchange before he heads off again.

(she was trying to see if something placed in a book stays in the book after going into the library.....)

She takes the gun checking it out seeing if it is functioning correctly. She don't shoot anyone with it mind you just makes sure it is working and charged. If it's fine she heads back to her room.

Weaponized tasp guns have to target the pleasure center of any target and thus scan the brain for it, so first she rewires it to find the part of her brain that is responsible for the time she has spoken to others in there head.... she only did it a few times and couldn't do it well enough to reach the others of her mind. But trying to talk and scanning she should be able to find that part of her brain that's doing it. Then she can get the gun to stimulate that part of the brain to enhance it. Combined with an innate connection to her the others she will try and contact them.

Home made pysionic enhancer.

She contacted them and simply told them to meditate, they knew how to do the rite of crash space... how to make the place there own.... this thing what ever it was didn't like there destructiveness but it seamed ok with construction so a small shrine it might over look. Maybe it will even over look a mess if it's for mediation reasons. >.>

She told them to meditate deeply into the blood. To share there memories with Rat and through Rat with her.

Deep into the blood is a chaotic mess of memories of all rats and Rat themselves so it may take more than a day meditating but if she is able to communicate with all the rats and get there memories of there maze minds and combine it with the map from the book she could get a good idea of the shape of this place.

((So she used the device on herself?))

(Yes she's altering it to give her psychic powers a boost.)

The moment that Glitch alters herself, she pops like a bubble in a shower of pink mist and then condenses suddenly into a bottle of "psychoactive containment glue."  Being a bottle of containment glue, she experiences a kaleidoscope of colors, feels a bit sticky, and then the dream ends.

Glitch has learned Psychic Tasp - she can enduce the tasp state in any being with using her psychic powers. Additionally, using the gun on herself first will enhance her psychic powers for the duration of a scene
