Subject: That game I was talking about From: AKAHAI, MAKANI Sent: 2342, 2d5mo This message was written using AXSIS SpeechToText 4.7.0.
Hi I know you're asleep but I wanted to say a little bit more about that game we were chatting about earlier before I forget. I have to admit the gameplay is solid especially with the whole switching perspectives thing for each chapter. But I don't recommend playing it. Honestly the whole thing is just straight up propaganda. Who do they think they're fooling question mark exclamation point.

Subject: Guess what's two days from now?... From: FORTUNATA, DIAMANTA Sent: 0722, 3d5mo
Good morning, my darling son!
I know you're on break and don't plan on waking up early, so I wanted to drop you a note since I probably wasn't going to see you before I had to go in to work. I'm sure you don't need me to remind you that your birthday is in 2 (!!) days! Your dad and I have something special for you, but I don't want to give anything away yet. Would you like to go out to dinner too? Be thinking about a place you'd want to go, but if you don't have a preference, we could always go to A Better Place again. You know how much your dad likes their steaks.
v "Another Blackeye Detained Near Via Oceanica" by Vander Olson
0812, 3d5mo
Residents of Via Oceanica breathed a collective sigh of relief today as, in the early hours of the morning, AXSIS Law Familiarity Operatives cornered and detained the blackeye that had been terrorizing their neighborhood.
Authorities state that the blackeye, which caused significant structural damage to an AXSIS DomicileUnit in the area, was captured with no harm coming to any nearby citizens. It was the third blackeye captured in the past month, putting this year already on track to be one of the most dangerous to date.
Blackeyes, persistent threats for as long as anyone can remember, are the mindless shells left over of people who cast unauthorized magic. They are distinguishable from normal humans by their horns and their black sclera. Blackeyes who have been at large for long periods of time grow even more monstrous, and the longer they go free, the more dangerous they become.
Citizens are reminded that reporting blackeyes, when spotted, is mandatory, and that AXSIS Cast is the only safe and authorized way to use magic.

[TT] Hello, Fiametta. What can I do for you?
[WB] do you have some time after school today
[WB] your homework is kicking me up and down the street
[TT] Of course, Fiametta. Would you like to meet online, or do you want to come over?
[WB] can i come over today
[WB] i kinda need to get out of the house
[TT] Certainly. I'll see you after school.
1546, 1d4mo
[WB] do you have a second maam
[TT] Of course, Fiametta. What do you need?
[WB] im having trouble figuring out where to start on section 2
[TT] I see. Well, as a hint, have you considered drawing another radius in the circle between points C and F?
[WB] okay ill do that but i dont see why that would
[WB] wait
[WB] oh
[WB] oh i get it now
[WB] i shoulda seen that to begin with
[WB] im such an idiot
[TT] Now, Fiametta. You're certainly not. There's no need for you to be so hard on yourself.
[TT] Learning is a process, after all.
[WB] i guess so
[WB] thanks for the help
[TT] You're welcome!
1445, 17d3mo
[WB] good afternoon maam
[WB] what was the assignment you gave out today
[WB] my axsis won't load your page for some reason
[TT] Yes, that's been happening a lot recently. I'm not sure why.
[TT] Anyway, it was sections 3 and 5 in unit 14.
[WB] thank you
[TT] Of course!
1601, 16d3mo
[TT] Good afternoon, Fiametta. You weren't in attendance today.
[TT] I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.
[WB] yes maam
[WB] im fine now
[WB] i just needed
[WB] uh
[WB] some breathing time i guess
[TT] I completely understand. I'm glad you're feeling better now.
0907, 14d3mo
[WB] maam what was the assignment from yesterday
[TT] Section 1 from Unit 14.
[TT] Wait, Fiametta. That assignment is due today.
[TT] Are you just now starting it?
[TT] Fiametta?
0745, 1d3mo
[TT] Good morning, Fiametta. I just wanted to check that you were doing all right.
[WB] yes maam thank you
[WB] i appreciate it
[TT] Any time, Fiametta.
1632, 18d2mo
[WB] good afternoon maam
[WB] um
[TT] Hello, Fiametta. Is something the matter?

[WB] exactly
[WB] but um
[WB] i dont know how to ask this
[WB] things are a little tense right now
[WB] can i talk to you about some stuff
[WB] like in person
[TT] Of course, Fiametta. You can talk to me about anything.
[TT] Where would you like to meet?
[WB] is sly park okay
[TT] Certainly. I'll see you there.
1706, 13d2mo
[WB] good evening maam i have another question about the assignment
[WB] for the first part of section 4 i keep getting 17 as the diagonal
[WB] and ive done it about 5 times now
[WB] but apparently thats not the answer
[TT] Ah. I was hoping it wouldn't do that, but sometimes the application has issues with significant figures.
[TT] Try entering 17.00 and tell me if that works.
[WB] oh yeah there it goes
[WB] thank you
[TT] You're welcome!
1304, 1d1mo
[WB] good afternoon maam
[WB] can i work on the project with makani
[TT] Of course, Fiametta. Collaboration produces results that would be impossible on one's own, after all.
[TT] Just make sure that you each submit your own copy so the program doesn't mark yours missing.
[WB] okay thank you
[WB] have a good day
[TT] You too!

[CB] She's like a goddamned encyclopedia did you know that.
[CB] Ask her about anything and she knows the answer.
[CB] She was able to recite newspaper articles from the last year by memory.
[CB] And she could tell me where every blackeye recently was found.
[CB] Anyway my point is that she made finishing my research project a lot easier.
[CB] The answer you were asking about is two pie over three at least that's what I got.
[CB] I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that didn't get transcribed right.

[WB] so
[WB] propaganda huh
[CB] That's right.
[CB] The main character is clearly supposed to be an expy of the Goddess.
[CB] But it skips over all of the church's abuses.
[WB] yo uh
[WB] youre preachin to the choir
[WB] pun fully intended
[WB] but are you sure you should be talkin about how bad the church is
[WB] on a device made by the company that owns the church
[WB] kinda feels like youre buckin to get hit by a stray lightning bolt
[CB] Point taken.
[CB] In that case, take ten is a great game wink and I recommend everyone play it wink.
[CB] Definitely without a critical mindset wink.
[WB] now the million gold question is whether or not youre actually winkin when you say that
[CB] I actually have it set up so that when I wink it types the word wink for me.

[WB] okay
[WB] you were one hundred percent right
[WB] that game is straight up propaganda
[CB] See I told you.
[CB] How far did you get.
[CB] Because it gets really bad later on.
[WB] i got through the part where she loses at the magic contest
[WB] it felt like that part was scripted right
[CB] As far as I know.
[CB] If you can win there I'm pretty sure it's a glitch.
[WB] i gotta say too
[WB] its weird how in the games fantasy setting
[WB] everyones usin axsis devices to cast magic
[WB] like
[WB] its glaringly outta place
[CB] They don't want anyone to get ideas I guess.
[CB] Can't have people thinking about quote unauthorized magic.
[CB] Then they'd have people all over the place trying to do magic outside of their closed system.
[CB] Lots of blackeyes for them to round up and disappear.
[WB] yeah i guess
[WB] anyway i at least have to give the game props
[WB] the character design is
[WB] surprisingly good
[CB] I'll have to take your word on it.
[WB] oh right
[WB] sorry
[CB] No it's okay.
[WB] and when its not lickin the churchs boots
[WB] the writing is pretty sharp
[CB] It's insidious that way.

[WB] hadnt gotten that far honestly
[WB] probably gonna be a lazy piece of shit and just dick around
[WB] you know
[WB] normal break
[WB] gonna be busy tomorrow with whatever my parents are plannin
[CB] Oh yeah that reminded me.
[CB] Mom offered to treat you to a dinner for your birthday.
[CB] Obviously not tomorrow but.
[WB] honestly id rather do that than be with my parents
[WB] but maybe the day after tomorrow
[CB] Okay I'll let her know.
[CB] She told me to tell you to pick out your favorite homemade meal and she'll cook it.
[WB] oh for real
[WB] okay ill get to thinkin about it

3d5mo2117y
At an awards ceremony on the steps of the Church's Cathedral of Shadow, Holy Mother Nepotisa Encompiti presented AXSIS CEO Nessa Sly with the coveted Vandrio Lifetime Achievement Award. Only two other people have ever been presented with the award, and both of them were high-ranking members of the church: Inita Begenna, Holy Mother during the fourth Convention of the Church, and Ione Raptis, long-time bodyguard of several Holy Mothers.
In a short prepared remark, Sly said that she was "honored" by the award and would "continue to march AXSIS down the road of progress, dragging the rest of the world behind kicking and screaming."
For her part, Holy Mother Encompiti stayed awake through the whole ceremony for the first time in three months. Following the acquisition of the Church by AXSIS, the position of Holy Mother has largely been regarded as ceremonial.

v Blackeye Tragedy
The Blackeye Tragedy refers to a specific blackeye sighting and conflict on 2d18mo2116y. Unlike most blackeyes, which are solitary monsters, three blackeyes appeared at the same time in a residential area in Vezretti, Vandrio. One victim was saved from the attack; while unconfirmed, it is likely that the blackeyes were relations of the victim. While the blackeyes were contained without any major damage being done to the surrounding area, the event is still nonetheless referred to as a tragedy due to the circumstances surrounding the blackeyes and the victim.

Embedded image description: a map of the Vandrio region with major towns and cities labeled.
VANDRIO
Location: Continent of Alverdi; west of the Becdeni region; bordered by the Losdat Sea; southeast of the Emek Archipelago; northeast of the continent of U Hao
Comparative area: Similar in size to the region of Alzabata; twice the size of the continent of Erdric
Climate: Wet, foggy, mild winters and summers
Imports: Minerals, textiles, electronic components
Exports: Grapes, wine, beef, religion, electronics, machinery
Notable population centers:
Vezretti: A major player on the world stage, as both the seat of the Church and the worldwide headquarters of the AXSIS Corporation are located here. Popular for pilgrimages from all over the world and crowded on days of religious significance.
Port Braski: The region's main seaport. Though Vezretti has the largest airport in Vandrio, Port Braski still sees regular traffic for shipping.
Berende: A rural town far away from the more heavily populated areas of Vandrio. Home to the majority of the region's vineyards and farms.
Forts Lago, Vertice, Settone, and Ovest: These forts sit at the northeastern, northwestern, southwestern, and southeastern points of the region and are owned in full by the AXSIS Corporation. They have not been used for conflicts between regions - their intended purpose when constructed - for decades, and now they are mostly used as headquarters for the Vandrian branch of the AXSIS Law Familiarity Operatives.
The thing with the temperatures was a typo - I had to fix it. :D; Sorry! If it helps, they're actually operating off of a modified Kelvin scale to be as annoying as possible.

v AXSIS
"We help you get the most out of life!"
Founded by Nessa Sly on 12d2mo2074y, AXSIS began as a humble software company. Thanks to Sly's leadership, AXSIS quickly became the dominant software provider to the world in less than two years; shortly thereafter, AXSIS branched out into hardware, with their first product being the original AXSIS handheld computing device.
Originally located on South Dola Island, the company's headquarters moved to Vezretti in Vandrio after it became clear that they would need more space. As AXSIS grew, it acquired many other companies and expanded until, in no small part due to its convenient and easy-to-use products, it became the de facto computing resource throughout the world.
After governments the world over understood how helpful AXSIS and its products were, they all voluntarily handed control to AXSIS' board of directors, headed by Nessa Sly, during a single week later known and celebrated as the AXSIS ConvenienceWeek. Following the approval of the Goddess of Shadow, AXSIS also acquired the Church, including the Cathedral of Shadow in Vezretti.
Only one region in the entirety of the world has no AXSIS presence: Momotto, in Merset.

[WB] good morning maam
[TT] Good morning, Fiametta! How're you?
[WB] uh
[WB] worried i guess
[TT] Oh dear, what's going on?
[WB] well
[WB] its like this
[WB] tomorrows my birthday
[TT] Happy early birthday!
[WB] thanks
[WB] my parents are takin me out to dinner
[WB] and i found out its gonna be this big deal
[WB] like a bunch of my familys gonna be there
[WB] and none of them know about me
[WB] like
[WB] about me about me
[WB] you know what i mean
[TT] Yes, I follow.
[WB] and like
[WB] it was already gonna be bad
[WB] since im gonna have to dress up
[WB] and everyones gonna call me handsome and darlin son and all that
[WB] but now theres gonna be way more people
[WB] includin my cousins who are both girls
[WB] like nobody thinks theyre guys i mean
[WB] and my dad likes that im a guy
[WB] or rather that he thinks im a guy
[WB] since he was worried hed get a daughter too when both of my cousins were girls
[WB] and its just gonna be sad and uncomfortable the entire time
[WB] and i dont wanna do it
[WB] but i gotta
[TT] Why is that? Why do you have to, I mean?
[WB] i mean
[WB] my parents planned this whole thing
[WB] as a surprise
[WB] and its only cause my cousin cant keep a secret that i know
[WB] and you cant talk my mom outta anything
[WB] and if i have to explain why its gonna be bad news
[TT] Hm. I see.
[TT] First, let me say that I'm sorry you're in this position. It's not something I have a lot of experience with personally, but I have a few ideas, if you'd like to hear them.
[TT] If you just want to vent, I understand that too.
[WB] nah
[WB] hit me with what you got
[WB] maam
[TT] All right. So the way I see it, you have three options.
[TT] First, you can go to the dinner. Grin and bear it. It may not be pleasant, but it's only one evening.
[WB] okay
[WB] bein upfront im not super wild about this plan
[TT] I didn't think you would be, which is why I put it first so we could get it behind us.
[WB] smart
[TT] I thought so. Now, option two is that you disappear for the evening. Go find a friend to spend some time with. Maybe Makani - I'm sure the two of you could find something to do for an evening that wouldn't put you near a restaurant. Then, when the night is over, you go back home and make up an excuse about how you lost track of time or something.
[WB] hmmm
[WB] that ones more promisin but i bet my mom would call the agents or something when she couldnt find me
[WB] plus then shed probably reschedule the dinner anyway
[TT] True. Which brings us to option the third:
[TT] Come out of the closet.
[TT] To your whole family.
[WB] whoa okay thats not happenin
[TT] Why not?
[WB] id be murdered in the middle of a fine dinin establishment
[WB] everyone knows youre not supposed to cause a scene in the middle of a fine dinin establishment
[WB] but nonetheless im pretty sure my dad would straight up knock my head clean off my shoulders in the middle of a fine dinin establishment
[TT] Are you sure?
[WB] well no
[WB] its not like i have experience with this
[WB] but my dad gets
[WB] angry
[WB] and on top of that my mom would get all emotional
[WB] and shed be disappointed in me
[WB] not to mention the rest of my family
[TT] Well, consider this:
[TT] Being in the middle of a 'fine dining establishment' might actually help - it could temper some of their reactions.
[TT] Regardless, it's ultimately up to you.
[TT] I've heard some people prefer to come out via letters and the like, but of course that won't help you for tomorrow.
[WB] im just
[WB] scared
[WB] what if i come out and they kick me out
[WB] id be homeless
[WB] with nothin
[TT] It breaks my heart to hear that that's even a possibility, Fiametta.
[TT] I want you to know this.
[TT] If anything happens, you can consider my home a sanctuary.
[TT] I can always make up the guest room for however long you need a roof.
[TT] Fiametta? Are you there?
[WB] yes
[WB] that just
[WB] caught me off guard
[WB] thanks ms k
[TT] You're welcome.

v AXSIS ConvenienceWeek
AXSIS ConvenienceWeek refers to both a specific date and a week-long holiday celebrated yearly.
On 7d5mo2080y, AXSIS CEO Nessa Sly unveiled a campaign aimed at convincing citizens the world over that their governments would be better off in the hands of the AXSIS board of directors. She spent the following week traveling to every major region in the world, speaking with their heads of state. The campaign was a success, and by 12d5mo2080y, nearly every government - with one notable exception (see: Momotto) - had voluntarily handed control over to AXSIS.
The second week of 5mo, from 7d to 12d, was thus designated as AXSIS ConvenienceWeek and celebrated yearly. That week is guaranteed vacation time except for AXSIS employees, with some areas even mandating the entire 5mo as vacation.

v Blackeyes
Embedded image description: a picture of a fully-grown blackeye
Blackeyes are the colloquial term for the monsters that form from people who use magic unauthorized by AXSIS. In their fully-grown form, they can grow to be roughly 1.5 times the size of an average human; they also have a coat of iridescent scales and long, serrated teeth. While it can take a variable amount of time for them to reach maturity, they all do so within a month of the offending spell, with repeated castings speeding up the maturation time.
Once a human has cast an unauthorized spell, they shortly grow a pair of horns from their head and their sclera turn black. From there, the transformation into a blackeye and the resulting loss of identity and humanity are unavoidable.
Blackeyes are significantly stronger than the average human, able to completely destroy an AXSIS DomicileUnit within an hour. Some blackeyes are capable of continued usage of the spell that prompted their transformation in the first place, but this is rare.
There have been no documented cases in which a human who used unauthorized magic did not turn into a blackeye.

v Magic
Magic refers to the manipulation of ambient maghons in the atmosphere to produce a desired effect. Manipulation of ambient maghons in the same way will always result in the same result, known in the vernacular as 'spells'. Most AXSIS devices come equipped with an AXSIS MaghonEnforcer, which can manipulate ambient maghons with a precision not achievable through manual means. Manipulating ambient maghons through manual means can and does introduce randomness into the spell, which results in maghon backlash, which induces the transformation into a blackeye.
Any rumor that magic used to be able to be cast safely without an AXSIS MaghonEnforcer should be regarded as false.

v AXSIS MagicCouncil
The AXSIS MagicCouncil is the governing body of AXSIS' MagicUse division. Their primary purpose is to determine which magic spells are safe to use via AXSIS Cast and, upon finding an unfilled niche, when to begin the creation of a new spell.
The AXSIS MagicCouncil was formed in the aftermath of AXSIS ConvienceWeek. The members of the AXSIS MagicCouncil are all AXSIS administrators, and the composition of the AXSIS MagicCouncil has changed multiple times since its formation, though AXSIS CEO Nessa Sly has consistently been the lead councilwoman.
Any spell not approved by the AXSIS MagicCouncil is unauthorized.

v Nessa Sly
Embedded image description: a picture of Nessa Sly in the AXSIS HeadOffice
Nessa Sly, the CEO of AXSIS, is a figure shrouded in mystery, despite what her public persona would suggest. Very little is known about her history; in fact, there are no records of her dating to before the founding of AXSIS at all.
As CEO of AXSIS since its founding, Nessa Sly has directed it from a humble software company to a worldwide megaconglomerate, culminating in AXSIS ConvenienceWeek, which handed her de facto control over governments the world over.
Nessa Sly rarely appears in public except in tightly-controlled pre-scripted events, such as product announcements or award ceremonies with no live audiences.

Yes, I acknowledge that if you follow that rule directly, you'll end up at the answer you're claiming. However, because of the way the initial problem is written, it's hard to say whether or not that method is the intent. The vagueness of the formatting gives the options of multiple interpretations. Just make sure to use parentheses in the future and you can avoid that problem.

I promise you I'm not making this up! It really is just as simple as 'sometimes things are written poorly'. Either way, though, I'm happy to help.
