Inanimate insanity -INFECTION AU!!-

The Host

MePhone4:

Appearance: A black rectangular smartphone with a blue screen. He has a home button on the bottom, a receiver on top, and a "Meeple" logo (a parody of Apple) on his back.

Personality: Initially portrayed as lazy, gluttonous (obsessed with cookies), and indifferent to the contestants' safety since he can simply "revive" them. Over the series, he develops a more complex personality, showing deep-seated trauma regarding his creator, Steve Cobs, and a growing genuine care for the contestants.

The No Texture Corruption is a liquid that forms flat purple-and-black checkered puddles on surfaces, clinging to floors, walls, roofs, and objects. It spreads only through direct contact with living beings. Plants touched by it slowly transform into the same purple-black pattern, propagating via roots. Objects become immobilized, numb, and blind as the pattern overtakes them, losing facial features once it covers the face. Skin contact allows the corruption to spread to others, making it extremely dangerous and highly contagious. After a few hours, or even minutes in some cases, it will cause the body to die slowly due to suffocation, although pain is seemingly non-existent during death. They retain their personality during this.
