So Moriwen wrote a thing and I think it's adorable and everyone should see it.

[Ezra]

Thank you for linking that!

[Alicorn]

Gosh, such thing!

[Bluelantern]

What should be the procedure to tell a VR'ed Eclipsed that someone died?

[Alicorn]

...they're not incommunicado, they can get letters from their families or whatever.

...they're not incommunicado, they can get letters from their families or whatever.

I meant do they pull the kid out of VR or just send the news into it?

[DanielH]

I assume they send the news in. It takes time to pull kids out of VR (days of starving) and they still aren’t safe. I guess they could have one of the staff psions lock them down temporarily to attend the funeral.

[Alicorn]

They send it in. Being locked down (or if there's time starved down) to attend the funeral is an option.

[Bluelantern]

Oh, right. I remember something to the effect that the lock down is uncomfortable? Does it get to "can't fuction" levels? Does it hurt?

[Alicorn]

If you're not brand new, it's uncomfortable, and whether you prefer it to two days' fast is a personal taste thing; it won't incapacitate you but it's distracting.
