AEanna nodded at what Riou said, glaring at the Pie Lord.
"I agree. Joe, do not listen to him! He seeks to twist the truth and use it to break you, but whatever he says you may have done wrong, we know that you would never commit an evil deed of your own free will!"
OOC: Really want to blast the Pie Lord now, but I just know it'd screw up an important plot point!

"Oh but if I stop now, what will Joe think, he will always wonder."
"You see, Mark was just a young boy at the time, the wondering youth of 10. One day there was an attack. Mark and his family, along with Howard needed to escape, and having no other options since all other method were exhausted. They used an experimental dimensional device. Everyone managed to escape unharmed, except for Mark. The AI used to run the device was fault, being originally programmed to simpley light fires." The screen shifts to the one time Joe seemingly got up from sleeping to light a fire for Tophat the night AEannae had succumbed to vampirism. "Sure it had been adjusted to do many things, it even was smart enough to realize that to do proper testing the test subject must be a blind recipient, unaware that a test was even being done. Early in it's development it had split itself into two wholes, one to manage and record, and the other..." The Pie Lord looked start at Joe. "To be the little guinea pig and take all the stimuli, good or bad, without realizing that it wasn't real."
Joe was almost to tears at this point.
"Mark Hoffman died that day because his soul was taken by the very AI that was supposed to save him."
The entire room began to shake briefly, and the Pie Lord dropped Joe to the ground. "Although not listening may be a good strategy, one of the rules of the AI's test subject was they were to never know what was happening. And now that it does... the testing area isn't needed."
*Audible Gasp*
The tank now empty Scarface seems to stir.

@Outis: Sorry there... you can try, but Joe's advice is pretty sound for the situation. You better leg it!
OOC: Okay. I hope @Gear is still on...Also...I'm a little confused about what is happening with Joe...maybe you are not done explaining, but yeah...
OoC: I'm still here, I just wasn't sure what to do and I can't stay long. But now...
Makoto panicked as she saw Scarface stir. "I think we should get out of here!" She made for the door.

AEanna frowned. All she could gather from the Pie Lord's story was that a person named Mark Hoffman was Joe's creator, and that he had originally created Joe simply to produce portals. She had no idea what the term AI meant. As for the idea that Joe had killed his creator, she didn't believe a word o it.
"Are you finished then?" She said coldly to the Pie Lord.
OOC: So... Joe is an AI?
"Are you finished then?" She said coldly to the Pie Lord.
OOC: So... Joe is an AI?
OoC: As a brief little blurp. Joe is a computer AI, his own logic and memory framed around Mark Hoffman's Soul. Joe's Brain has known of this all along, hence why he helped Lambda so willingly, since she was in the same boat as Joe. He has a high demand for power, hence why he eats so much since he technically doesn't have a body and must maintain his own existence.
OOC: So...Joe has been an AI the whole time since WAOA1 and before that? ...What about all the other Joes?
OoC: That... actually makes a fair amount of sense. Granted it could have used a bit more foreshadowing, but thinking about it, that does tie in to his past actions. Still though, I'm not really sure about it. It's lke having a cop show and then on the last episode it's revealed the protagonist is made of broccoli. Just because you didn't see it coming dosn't make it a good twist.
