[When Frisk comes onto the network this time, it's with a much less agreeable expression upon their face. Their hair is incredibly rumpled, and they rather look like they just slept in their clothing last night.]

You gotta stop hurting people! It's not fair, he already got punished, an' he didn't DO anything, an' he was hurt an'...!

[Frisk's face screws up, and they're clearly holding back on some frustrated tears.]

H-has anybody seen Rinzler? He was...I-I wanna make sure he's okay.

[... Oh no. This means nothing good. Tali's voice is tense, anxious.]

What's happened with Rinzler? Do you know exactly?

audio;

[gainedlove]

I...I dunno. They were attacking him an' I tied to make them stop, but they made me fall asleep...

[Frisk sniffles a little.]

He...there was cracks all over him.

[keelahselai]

Damaged. [She mutters it under her breath, to herself more than anything.] Damn it...

OK, ahh... Frisk, is it? [She's reading their name off the readout, and her pronunciation is halting and vaguely east European sounding.] Do you need somebody to come get you? Where are you right now?

[pleasereset]

[Oh no...]

Frisk, what happened?! Are you okay? What's going on with Rinzler?

[gainedlove]

I'm okay, but I...I dunno what happened to Rinzler! I saw him bein' attacked, and I tried to stop it, but...I wasn't strong enough. They made me sleep, an' I couldn't fight it.

[pleasereset]

He was attacked and now he's missing?

[Asriel feels his chest tighten at that. Was it someone who wasn't satisfied with Rinzler's trial sentence? Still, Asriel can't keep the worry out of his voice.]

Frisk, where are you? I'm gonna go look for him.

[whoami]

[ Text because Sam needs to hide his facial expressions like whoa. ]

Hurt how? What were his injuries?

[gainedlove]

it looked reely bad he had a lot of cracks and stuff all over

there was a lot of weird stuff on the ground

[whoami]

[ Fuck, shit, and other such expletives. That meant a severely damaged program. And Rinzler wasn't going to easily accept help... ]

Do you know who was hurting him?

[deal]

[Cassandra tells herself not to get involved. But clearly, she's involved, if she's speaking up here. So she just plays it cool, like it's no big deal.]

What happened?

[gainedlove]

Peter an'...an' Alice, they were hurting Rinzler. I heard shouting, an' so I looked an' saw an'...

[Frisk scrubs at their eyes.]

He was hurt really bad. I-I dunno if he attacked or not.

[deal]

[She swears under her breath.]

Are you okay?

[There's no point in her getting involved with Rinzler and Peter again. So she might as well focus on the kid, make sure she's not traumatized or anything.]

[squadgoals]

Hey, you okay?

[Her voice and expression is calm, soothing.]

What are people doing to Rinzler?

VIDEO

[gainedlove]

'M not hurt.

[They're also super not okay right now, but since when did their emotions matter when someone else is hurt?]

I...I dunno what happened. I jus' saw him on th' ground, an' Peter an' Alice were doin' something. He had a lotta cracks in him.

[squadgoals]

Good to hear. As for Rinzler, I don't think that was new damage, or at least, I hope it wasn't. I think he's in the midst of trying to fix himself.

[Peter and Alice? She'd knocked them on trial for their lack of communication with the rest of the crew, and reckless endangerment, and they were at it again. For all intents and purposes, it just looked like a cycle of tit-for-tat. What the hell was going on on this ship?]

Do you know where it was you saw them?

Video

[fight4theusers]

[Tron's expression is very serious as he responds.]

What has happened with Rinzler? Was he attacked?

[He doesn't want to think of the possibility that his double might have attacked someone else without provocation. He's still unconvinced that the previous incidents were entirely one-sided.]

Video

[gainedlove]

Mm...mmm.

[Frisk nods, looking guilty despite barely being involved at all.]

I saw them all fighting--or um. Rinzler was bein' hurt. I...I dunno if anybody else was. It was really fast.

Video

[fight4theusers]

Do you know who was attacking him? Or why they were fighting?

[Tron is not used to talking to Small Users, but he'll do his best.] Tell me everything you can.

[warandpeace]

[Miller has the common decency to not swear in front of the child, but he does a good amount of it. He starts sending messages out to Rinzler. When he finally gets back to him? He figures he should set Frisk at ease.]

Hey.

He said he's functional. I'm looking for him now.

Good job for letting us know.

[gainedlove]

He is?

[Relief floods Frisk's expression, enough to let a few of those building tears escape.]

I-I tried really hard to help him--can you tell him I'm sorry? If he's still hurt I got monster food, it can help a little!

[warandpeace]

[He doesn't think he has a stomach, but for the sake of not discouraging a child from wanting to be helpful-]

I'll let him know. And I'll let him know you said so.

You did your best. Some people here should really be looking up to you for that.

[late in the day after the entire thing with Del Pascia, Prometheus is trying to work off the unwanted high and memories that he has courtesy of Model W and D-E-L. Surfing the network seemed like a good idea to get his mind off of things.

So of course he's met with this. How heartbreaking! How sympathetic. It's enough to make a Maverick sick.

.......

He doesn't reply, though there's an angry bark of laughter before he shuts off the network]

[It's a couple of hours after the post goes up and Nihlus is hungover and extremely groggy when he checks his MID and reads through the comments.

Fuck.

He can think of the list of suspects already and he's dragging himself up, heart in his throat.

There's no reply from him either.]

Voice

[heart_breaking]

Frisk, what happened?!

Did someone hurt you? What's wrong with Rinzler?

Voice

[gainedlove]

No, I'm okay! But Rinzler...Peter an' Alice were hurting him again! I saw him on the ground, an' his whole side was gone funny an' he was trying to get away...

[Frisk might be sniffling a little.]
