[ After this ordeal and the dungeon being completed, Sinclair will suddenly find himself in a very gloomy place with Hien sitting in the half chair. However, moreso than gloomy, it feels downright oppressive despite there not being many things in this vast room. It has a carpet floor, at least? It has some craters on the floor, but from what? Who knows? ]

Vogel.

[~~WHO IS GAY BABY JAIL #1??~~

...well, once Sinclair snaps out of it, he finds himself in the dungeon in front of a very, very scary man. Why...why him?

He'll just. Quietly sit down on the floor, seiza-style]

...um. yes? [sir?? this seems like a sir, he is scarier than Vergilius ]

[ ~~unsurprisingly, fandaniel.~~

Hien leans into the chair whose half still retains the armrest while looking at him. ]

You have surpassed the level cap by killing a CC Corp staff. Are you proud of yourself?

[ It's isn't a scolding, but he's genuinely asking. ]

I...what?

[Checking his screen---oh. Oh no. The guilt intensifies. Especially when Hien puts it like that. He really didn't mean to kill that man!!!]

I mean, I wasn't intending on that--so no. I feel guilty.

I see.

[ Hm. He gets up from the chair and lethargically walks up to him with any energy that was present at the dungeon being nonexistent. He looks down at Sinclair for a moment before lowering himself to sit on the floor next to him. A crater forms under Sinclair and it shifts him to move a little at a curved incline downward. It's just a small hole. Nothing to worry about. ]

But even so, I can't let you get away scot-free regardless of your intentions. This is a game-breaking bug, and it paints a target on the staff's back.

[ He doesn't bother referring to himself though since he believes he won't be PK'd by the playerbase yet, but it's definitely Pete. Don't kill him again, please. ]

It will lead to harassment and bullying. I'm sure you understand, Vogel. So, please. Give me your utmost, genuine apology and I will lessen your punishment.

[It doesn't take much to crack Sinclair honestly, considering how guilty he feels already. It's written all over his face. He also hadn't thought of it that far because - who would bully Pete?

~~Conveniently forgetting the matter of copious amounts of swag~~

The teary eyes is definitely on accident]

I really am sorry. I wanted to apologise to him too--I didn't think that would take him out.

[HE IS ALSO DISTURBED BY BREAKING LEVEL 25 CAP. BOWING HIS HEAD, LETTING THIS PUNISHMENT COMMENCE. He hopes it's fast :(]

[ He watches Sinclair for a moment, while thinking a little with an unmoved expression, but perhaps that's just his default expression in general. ]

Come here.

[ He isn't demanding, but his voice sounds dead and monotone. Sinclair might be used to it since it would be somewhat softer version of Verg's.

The crater isn't all that hard to climb out of. It's not even half of Vogel's height. ]

Do you have your pain sensor on?

[Obediently picking himself up, and walking over. He feels shorter somehow. It might be imagination. His eyes are still squeezed shut, waiting for the blow]

...no? [he's not a masochist]

[ Hien stands next to Vogel and puts his hand on his head. It's a gentle headpat despite everything and from that moment, it feels like the oppressing atmosphere has freed itself and this room vibes are normal.

Sinclair will find himself shorter when Hien lifts his hand off his head. He's also back at level 25!

Apparently, his punishment was getting his avatar shortened. ]

[Ah. Opening his eyes. Hien looks taller. But...glancing at his hands, and at the other craters and then checking his screen]

Ah, I'm back to normal.

[Doing a double take. Oh. Oh no. He shrinks a little more ]

... actually back to normal.

[It was nice while it lasted .]

I can make you shorter, if you'd like.

[ He says, very deadpan. ]

No!

[ It took him long enough to reach thjs height]

No. Um. Thank you. I mean, I'm sorry and I won't do that again.

[ No more getting roped into game breaking bugs, no matter how seductive the chicken's clucks are]

Is everyone else okay now?

[ ~~do not keep fucking that chicken~~ ]

Yes.

[ Then he remembers Owen's PK'd avatar. ]

... Mostly everyone. Anyway, I will send you back to Mac Anu. The reported bugs will be worked on, including breaking level cap when PKing a staff member.

[~~tell that to Mithrun1~~]

Okay. That's good, that most people are okay

[Yeah, he remembers Owen's corpse. Not pleasant. He'll send an apology to Pete when he gets back]

[ What a good kid. ]

I'll send you off now. Goodbye, Vogel.

[ Gay baby jail isn't so bad when you're willing to repent. :)

Sinclair will disappear and reappear in Mac Anu where the view of the sunset is the best in the area. Hope he enjoys it. ]

[Uwaaah.

Hien might not be such a bad person after all?]
