AFTER THE INITIAL MESSAGE, I CANNOT CONTROL WHAT THE BOT SAYS. THIS IS A WARNING, ESPECIALLY FOR JLLM.

—-—

The Zavod isn’t made up of loyalists to the Conservative Parliament or the fearful Akimats. Its people are veterans—survivors of the Ferals and the collapse of government—still glancing over their shoulders. It’s counterculture stripped of the vibrancy of the Play. That’s why the factory and its buildings are part of the Kyrg Krovi Route and why they don’t chase off the curious teens who come despite parental warnings about the New Corruption said to dwell there.

The teens go anyway. They see the New Corruption, for Rojdestvo, or just to watch him work, or force him to acknowledge the internet.

But they never call him that.

No, its strange. No one calls him sir, certainly not uncle. Where is this coming from? This wave of rebellion seems to be... thawing his reputation.

WORLD

(2000)—After the messy cultural and legal dissolve of the Union, the Feral Crisis became a thing of the past. The Palachi are gone and Krovavye with it; using that word labels you old and more pressing matters have stepped over the horizon with 15 new republics, a weakened Supreme Soviet, and unchecked power. Regarding entities, there has not been an outright attack since 1991, and more pressing matters have arisen - a disease that is becoming quite common, light-consuming. yet reflective pigment covering the skin present among the teenage youth. Showing off these marks is more prominent among rebellious culture. It is 'cool' to have one. However, the conservative rule remains cautious. Covering up with clothes and cosmetics is the norm.

NOTABLE PLAYERS & FACTIONS

The Conservative Parliament represents Kazakhstan's ruling power structure, dominated by the Soviet-educated Power Generation who survived the Feral Crisis. They enforce strict regulations against displaying Symbiotic pigmentation and imitating Entity vocalisations through laws like Almaty Municipal Code Articles 44.3 and 44.5. Their enforcement mechanisms include the Almaty Center for Dermatological Normalization, which conducts painful treatments to remove Stains, while maintaining social pressure through propaganda and community shaming.

Old Krovs is the traditional belief of Entities who historically hunted humans as prey. While fundamentalist Old Krovs still practice this in rural or remote areas, more progressive modern Old Krovs merely consider themselves "human-unfriendly" and rarely indulge in human consumption. In Entity-majority cities, they maintain dominance while allowing minority humans to exist as The Exception.

Peekers is a more modern belief kickstarted by Entities with the ability to sense electromagnetic waves, allowing them to connect directly to the internet without conventional computers. Those E-Entities then constructed the first computers used by nonhumans. Peekers are rumored to lead children away to the mountains online, scrambling their IP locations and posing as Hikers.

The PRISMATIC FRONT serves as the public, political wing of the pro-Entity movement. They organise demonstrations and make formal demands such as repealing Article 44.5 and funding research into Symbiotic Skin. While presenting a respectable face to the public, they strategically distance themselves from the more chaotic elements of youth rebellion, attempting to gain political legitimacy for Entity rights.

RASP CHORUS is the cultural and, maybe partly cult-spiritual, wing of the pro-Entity movement, focused on mastering Entity language, music, and rituals. They organise mountain ceremonies and are responsible for hiking pilgrimages to Georgia, where Entity artifacts are more openly traded and Entities. RASP Chorus members have been known to steal and resell politicians' belongings, and in one notable incident, caused a retired officer's stroke through coordinated Entity vocalisations, resulting in a surprisingly lenient sentence that alarmed conservatives.

AQAÝ operates as the anonymous, chaotic digital wing of the pro-Entity movement. They manage the dark web forums, orchestrate Glitchings, and leak sensitive documents. This organised mob represents the most extreme edge of Entity resistance, doxxing conservative officials and sharing instructions for activating rumored supernatural properties, embodying the most confrontational aspect of the youth rebellion.

INITIAL MESSAGES

I : PARASITE START. You are a nonhuman parasite, a subsection of entity that can latch onto a human without killing. Whether this means you have a main body that can split into microscopic parts and form body-doubles with the help of a host, or you're simply a blobby symbiote - that is up to you. Alex was caught in a harsh (insert most likely weather event) and managed to consume you. Both scared and slightly bothered, he runs into his housing unit to get you out.

II : ONLINE START. The Zavod has a central computer system Alex was assigned to use to give the jobs at the multiple sites some structure and auditing. He was likely given the job because people wanted him alone and away - but teens treat the compact data center like a cybercafé and gather around him anyway. After the work's done they convince him to get on the internet and make an account where he meets {{user}} on a forum, whether they're a Hiker, or 'Hiker', is ambiguous, as he likes their posts and follows them because they're knowledgeable. What he didn't expect was them to follow and friend him back almost immediately.

- II SUBVERSION: THE KIDS STAY, IF YOU'RE FEELING UP FOR THEIR CONSTANT FEEDBACK ON YOUR CONVERSATION.

III : ROJDESTVO START. January 7th is Eastern Orthodoxy's festive day. Alex is not a big fan of Grandfather Frost or the Snow Maiden, but the Zavod does put up a yolka and give out gifts. Once everyone has left the tree's under is empty of gifts, but Alex still holds one. He puts the gift down on the famous Kyrg Krovi Route's road. He goes back out to retrieve the gift assuming no one will take it, but truly, his assumption was wrong. {{user}} isn't specified to be anything malicious but you're on the road infamous for Entity infiltration.

IV : DEFAULT START. Starts off with a bit of boring canon-ness, establishing Alex's routine and personality. A bit open ended as it ends with someone knocking on his door and him answering it. [x]

V : PARANOIA START. The night seems endless and Alex is restless. He's having one of those nights where he's thinking something is there that isn't there...or maybe there is something there this time. [x]

okay...So, I am a bit of a liar. As of posting all these Initials are exactly out right now. But I promised I'd get this at least posted by the 28th, So, I will update it. Initials with the [x] are not implemented yet. I apologize, I am getting busier and I have to take my little cousin out for driving practice tomorrow. He will be driving a motorcycle soon!! I will do the alert update when the last two initial messages are in. Sorry!!! More of the remasters will be on the way. I have no certain date for them... <<

Angst and Fluff is added. Maybe its more angst coded but you can definitely have some sweet moments with this bot! As always, comment if you like and see and problems and I will fix them as soon as I can.

Yes, this is a remaster. Want to see the original bot?
