{{chat|Plum|Social engineering is the practice of using deception to manipulate people into giving confidential or personal information, often so that it can be used to gain access to secure systems or other nefarious things!  Never scan a QR code from a source you don't trust!}}

{{chat|Plum|[[File:PlumStare.png|50px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]]<br />I was looking for her too.   Could you not make it sound so nefarious?}}
{{chat|Lemon|— Sorry.}}
{{chat|Plum|What did you say?}}
{{chat|Lemon|I said I'm sorry?<br />I'm going to go look for Cherry.  I'll tell her you're looking for her if I see her.}}
{{chat|Plum|Oh, okay.  Thanks.<br />... She said she's ''sorry''?}}
{{chat|Lemon|Cherry?  Are you out here?|large=y}}
{{chat|Lemon|Ugh. We're in a computer, why do we need to simulate the cold?  And why do I have to FEEL it? [[File:PerishChan.png|25px|alt="Perish chan emoji"]]<br />What are ''you'' doing out here?}}
{{chat|Lime|I ''was'' enjoying the quiet.<br />[[File:TiredLime.png|50px|alt="Tired Lime emoji"]]<br />And before you ask, no, I haven't seen— ''woosh''}}
{{chat|Le|[[File:Waiting.png|50px|alt="Lemon waiting emoji"]]<br />Phew.  Caught it.   Here's your hat.}}
{{chat|Lime|Wow, nice catch. [[File:YouWhatLime.png|25px|alt="You what Lime emoji"]]  Thanks.  If I see Cher I'll tell her you're looking for her.}}
{{chat|Lemon|Oh, Plum's looking for her too.  Better send her that way first.    I'm sure I'll bump into her eventually.  See ya', sis.}}
{{chat|Lime|... Okay?}}

<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Day 2 (12/2/24) Extremely sus</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{chat|Lemon|One more...<br />There! [[File:Capitalism.png|25px|alt="Lemon capitalism emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Plum|What are you doing up there?}}
{{chat|Lemon|Hanging lights— did you find Cherry?}}
{{chat|Plum|No, not yet.  Why are you hanging the lights?}}
{{chat|Lemon|I mean... Christmas is coming up?}}
{{chat|Plum|I know that but why are YOU hanging them?}}
{{chat|Lemon|They weren't up yet.}}
{{chat|P|[[File:PlumStare.png|50px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Lemon|What???  What's that look for?}}
{{chat|Plum|Okay, but ''why''?}}
{{chat|Lemon|I thought she'd appreciate having one less thing to do, is all?<br />Did I do something wrong? [[File:YouWhatLemon.png|25px|alt="You what Lemon emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Plum|... I guess not? (''She's got to be up to something.'')}}
{{chat|Lemon|Do you want some help looking for Cherry?  I'm sure the Boss just has her doing something insane.}}
{{chat|Plum|Nah, I'm good. (''Extremely sus.'')}}
{{chat|Lemon|Okay—. Maybe over at the wiki?}}
{{chat|Plum|Yeah, maybe. (''There's no way I'm falling for that.'')}}
{{chat|Lemon|Is she okay?}}
{{chat|Plum|What?  Why wouldn't she be?}}
{{chat|Lemon|The last time we didn't see her for days she was having an existential crisis about potentially being heterosexual.  [[File:PainLemon.png|25px|alt="Pain Lemon emoji"]]    And then she locked herself in her room.  I'm just saying-- Most of the time when she's missing, it's because of y-- probably something goofy.}}
{{chat|Plum|We... may have gotten into an argument.}}

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:85%; overflow:auto;">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Day 3 (12/3/24) An argument?</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{chat|Lemon|An argument?}}
{{chat|Plum|It's just a misunderstanding, I need to talk to her and clear it up.}}
{{chat|Lemon|What about?}}
{{chat|Plum|She can be just.  So ''frustrating'' sometimes.}}
{{chat|Le|[[File:PainLemon.png|50px|alt="Pain Lemon emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Plum|We can just be doing something, and then she'll ask a question, like a few days ago she asked me how the daily messages work.<br />And, I mean, you know.  We all get together and talk about the skit of the day, and MOST of the time it's just the same stuff over and over.  So I asked if she's had problems paying attention to it... And do you know what she said?}}
{{chat|Lemon|What did—}}
{{chat|Plum|She said it was super boring so she never really paid attention!|large=y}}
{{chat|Lemon|[[File:YouWhatLemon.png|50px|alt="You what Lemon emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Plum|Fine! ''Okay''.  It's not the most fun in the world, sure, but it's her job!  How could she just...??  Does she not !?<br />Sorry, I didn't meant to raise my voice [[File:PlumEmpty.gif|25px|alt="Plum empty animated emoji"]].}}
{{chat|Lemon|You don't have to worry about me.  If I didn't want to hear it I wouldn't listen.<br />Then what happened?}}
{{chat|Plum|It's not really important, sorry, I shouldn't be venting at you.}}
{{chat|Lemon|I'm sure you'll feel better once you've had a chance to sit down with her.  Let's go find her.}}
{{chat|Plum|No, no, I'm good.  I can just wait.}}
{{chat|Le|[[File:PainLemon.png|50px|alt="Pain Lemon emoji"]]<br />If she's doing what she did last time, she could be hogging Northbridge's memory again.}}
{{chat|Plum|...}}
{{chat|Lemon|''Boss'll be pissed at all of us.''  Especially the person that's supposed to be managing all this.}}
{{chat|P|[[File:YabaiPlum.png|50px|alt="Yabai Plum emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Lemon|So just let me help you find her— before Boss finds out.}}
{{chat|Plum|[[File:PlumStare.png|25px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]] (I'm going to regret this.  ''She has to be up to something.'')}}
{{chat|Lemon|I know that look— Stop overthinking it already.}}
{{chat|Plum|!..  Uh.  Yeah.  Okay.  (Maybe that's all it is?)}}

<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Day 4 (12/4/24) Got to be somewhere</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{chat|Le|Huh. The database is locked tight.<br />I can't see anyone in there.}}
{{chat|P|Access log says no one's touched it except the contributors— Mostly Iron.   Boss hasn't even been in here recently.}}
{{chat|Le|She's online, so she's got to be somewhere.<br />Alright, so, where all have you looked?}}
{{chat|P|Just her room.}}
{{chat|Le|''Just'' her room?...<br />''Okay.''   Well, I checked the grounds and a few other places, and I didn't see her while I was hanging up lights.}}
{{chat|P|...}}
{{chat|Le|Maybe she went into town?  She could've started on the big tree already.}}
{{chat|P|I'll grab my coat and scarf.}}
{{chat|Le|'''Cripes'''<br />It's even colder today than it was yesterday!}}
{{chat|P|You okay?}}
{{chat|Le|Yeah, I'm fine.<br />But we should hurry up and find Cherry before we turn into fruit pops.}}
{{chat|P|Oooh. Now I want a fruit pop.}}
{{chat|Le|What?? It's like negative a jillion degrees out here, how can you be in the mood for that?}}
{{chat|P|[[File:PlumStare.png|25px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]] ''shrug''}}
{{chat|Le|Maybe if we ask nicely, Boss'll let us have an Aussie Christmas.  I'll buy us both one. [[File:LemonUp.png|25px|alt="Lemon up emoji"]]<br />Well, the tree's lit up, so she's definitely been here.}}
{{chat|P|I remember her saying she likes to get a cup of cocoa after decorating the tree.  I don't think she likes the cocoa at the cafe our building has.}}
{{chat|Le|She likes the one across town, next to the Southbridge line. ''shiver''  Come on, we'll probably bump into her in the way there.}}
{{chat|P|Hold on— Here.}}
{{chat|Le|Your scarf?<br />O-oh. (Oh my god. It's super warm.)}}
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:85%; overflow:auto;">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Day 5 (12/5/24) Empty spreadsheets less organized than you</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{chat|Le|You sure you won't need it?}}
{{chat|P|It's fine.  I run a bit warmer than most anyway.}}
{{chat|Le|(No kidding.  I could just melt into this thing.) [[File:YouWhatLemon.png|25px|alt="You what lemon emoji"]]<br />— I can't promise you'll get it back.}}
{{chat|P|It's fine. I misplace them so often I've started buying them in pairs anyway.}}
{{chat|Le|You? Plum, organizer of all of our tables and daily coordinator?  Misplace things? No way.}}
{{chat|P|Is that so hard to believe?}}
{{chat|Le|I've seen empty spreadsheets less organized than you.}}
{{chat|P|That... means a lot coming from you.  I didn't think anyone noticed.}}
{{chat|Le|Notice?  Ha. It used to bother me.  A lot.}}
{{chat|P|Used to? [[File:PlumStare.png|25px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Le|Mm, yeah.  Honestly, I'm still a little jealous.<br />But you're really good at it.  You bust your butt.  You make everyone smile and you care about it a lot.<br />And, you know, with you running everything, I can relax, because I know we're in good hands.<br />[[File:Watching.png|25px|alt="Lemon watching emoji"]] You make m—   (...?)}}
{{chat|P|[[File:PlumStare.png|50px|alt="Plum stare emoji"]] [[File:Red question mark.png|x50px|alt="Red question mark emoji"]]}}
{{chat|Le|[[File:Waiting.png|25px|alt="Lemon waiting emoji"]] You do a good job. That's all.}}
{{chat|P|You alright there, Lem?}}
{{chat|Le|Yeah.  Cold is just making me freeze up a bit.([[File:PerishChan.png|25px|alt="Perish chan emoji"]] SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.)}}
{{chat|P|It's making you turn red, too.  I didn't realize you were so sensitive to the cold.}}
{{chat|Le|Y-yeah.  It's definitely getting to me. (I've got to change the subject....  I could ask her about ''that'')<br />— Hey, Plum.   Can I ask you something?}}
{{chat|P|What's up?}}
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:85%; overflow:auto;">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Day 6 (12/6/24) Processing on the same thread</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{chat|Lemon|Earlier you said you just checked her room.  Why did you stop looking?}}
{{chat|P|([[File:PlumEmpty.gif|25px|alt="Plum empty animated emoji"]])}}
{{chat|Lemon|It's none of my business, really.  Just.  It seems weird that you'd just stop.}}
{{chat|Plum|No, it's fine.<br />It's about that misunderstanding.<br />Sometimes it doesn't feel like Cherry and I are processing on the same thread?  You know?}}
{{chat|Lemon|You mean how you always need to explain everything to her?}}
{{chat|Plum|It's not just that but.. Also that.}}
{{chat|Lemon|To be fair, that brain of yours operates at a completely different level.<br />It'd be difficult for anyone to really keep up with you.}}
{{chat|Plum|Doesn't seem that hard for y-- (!)}}
{{chat|Lemon|Huh?}}
{{chat|Plum|Huh?}}
{{chat|Lemon|...}}
{{chat|Plum|...}}
{{chat|P|[[File:YabaiPlum.png|25px|alt="Yabai Plum emoji"]] I'm surprised everyone on this street all put their decorations out at the same time.}}
{{chat|Lemon|They're Cherry's. [[File:PainLemon.png|25px|alt="Pain Lemon emoji"]] She decorates the whole town.}}
{{chat|Plum|I wish she'd put that kind of effort into her every day duties.}}
{{chat|Lemon|You can't tell from our building, but this close up you can see she's just copying and pasting at this point.}}
{{chat|Plum|Oh yeah.  I see the pattern now.  Lights, candles, wreath, wreath with bow, mistletoe on the corner lamp posts.}}
{{chat|Lemon|Every second repetition there's a snowman dressed up as a character from a visual novel.}}
{{chat|Plum|I don't recognize this one.}}
{{chat|Lemon|That one is Tabitha.}}
{{chat|Plum|The android lady?? It looks nothing like her.}}
{{chat|Lemon|No, no, the magical girl one.}}
{{chat|Plum|Oooh that makes more sense.}}
