Needleminder: The Tryharder

There's some sort of doodad. You can twiddle the knobs.

We might be here for a while.

[He/it] Technician overseeing the Tryharder

"Hey, I'm back," the Technician announces to the overwhelming crowd of two people who have been poking the magical electric box. "But I got lost and I really needed to go so I just went in the pool. And then I was in this really scary hallway for a long time. How long has it been?"

Five Months, the announcer booms.

He frowns. "Oh no. Did they kill each other while I was out?"

[starsystemerror]

I'm here to poke the box too. How about 6 & 4

6 & 4

The subsequent dial spins seem to have been placed into a queue for now as the machine loads its latest vision.

The Technician regards it with equal parts amusement and concern. "We're not at Level Four yet," he explains, "so that's probably... fine... Look, it's just guessing..."

[palabomeno]

Hang on. Set the knobs to nine and nine.

[cheet]

The Technician stares at the output. "... what the hell, man. This is onions."

[palabomeno]

Yeah pretty sure this is combining the layers of hell together

The Technician becomes visibly uncomfortable.

"You guys already did that one," he says, but he lets you do it anyway.

5 & 5

"I'm trying to get the box working again. They had a fight, right? They're not supposed to be having disagreements. That's what this thing does." He thinks all of this is perfectly clear and obvious.

Oh yeah also
Left 9, Right 6
Left 9, Right 4

Why does the Ninth circle get cool collage art? Is that just how Satan works in this setting?

[huckleton]

I'm noticing a distinct lack of 2s, 3s, and 7s. Bad time to bet on the Pass Line amirite guys. Let's get some 2s, 3s, and 7s up in this bitch.

7-7.
7-1
2-7
3-7

Attempt to place the left dial between 2 and 3 (i.e. 2.5, 7).

Technician, are these results always consistent, or do they change over time? Have you seen these scenes before?
