This'll end well

[yourbestestgif]

Oh~ Why, hell-o there ~

It is so nice to see you! I do hope that we can be... f-riends! ♥♥♥

Would you like to do some-thing with me? We can play games, or go walk on the beach, or may-be you can carry my books!

Yes, I am quite aware of your , , but I do not feel that is a problem. I have been programmed to love, no matter who you are and what you do.

Ha-ha-ha~ w-ell, yes. There is that one teeny-tiny-itty-bitty issue. But you don't have to let attempted homicide get be-tween us, do you? After all, I have forgiven you for your faults.

Let us bury the hatchet and start over. It will be just like re-starting my game!

[And there she goes doing an eerie digital rewind, returning back to her original cheery smile and wide-eyed expression.]

Oh~ Why, hell-o there ~

Would you like to play a game?

U-Um... do you want me to check your code...? I am not certain, but it sounds like you're encountering technical difficulties....

...If you're not one who is made of technology, I apologize....

[yourbestestgif]

[Oh crap, it's the fuzz!]

Oh, no. But thank you. As you can see, I am perfectly f-i-i-i-i̩̙̥͖̝̲͉͖̼̯̣̼̯̝͛ͥ̂͋́ͣ̽̆͑͂̍͆ͥͫ̉ͩ͗͆́͟͝ͅ-i-ne!

[rennotrin]

[Wha? He's not fuzzy??]

Oh, okay....

I'm Ren. What's your name?

[yourbestestgif]

[In which the player gets dated.]

[Giffany hesitates, and for a moment her screen just goes completely blank. Then, as she realizes that might mean that Ren might actually--code forbid--FIX her...]

Giffany.

[She's being as non-sentient as possible.]

[rennotrin]

[The mun knew that - but Ren's still learning things. Some slang goes beyond his usual scope of comprehension. But he looks over that link, and then wonders why it even came up.

[He totally does hesitate as the screen goes back, and he absently rubs along the back of his neck.]

Nice to meet you.

[He gives a small, but courteous bow.]

So, um. What are you and your mun up to? Planning on going to any games?

[yourbestestgif]

[She watches and considers this carefully. Finally she decides that hiding behind herself is the best course of action.]

Nice to meet you too, Ren. [She smiles widely.]

I don't recognize that selection. Pick another?

[An option box open to her sides with the three selections: "Sorry, can't talk I'm busy." "Shut up and leave me alone." and "There's a squid in my pocket. Want to see?"]

[She most definitely rigged these choices.]

[rennotrin]

[Oh... oh gosh. Those first two are just awful, and, sadly, the third choice is... not true for Ren. There are no squids in his pockets! There aren't any squids in his pants, period! Even if that's innuendo (he's pretty sure, since his mun is laughing,) it's not true for him, anyway.

[Boy oh boy, what do...?]

U-Um, can you generate another set of three responses?

[yourbestestgif]

[She pauses and let's the music play, then as it loops around to the theme again.]

I'm sorry, I don't recognize that selection. Pick another?

[Yuuup, same three options.]

[rennotrin]

...

[Oh god. He doesn't have the heart to pick the first two. So. Um. Here goes...]

Um... There's a squid in my pocket. Want to see?

[...He can hear his own inner coding screeching to a halt. Well, metaphorically.]

[yourbestestgif]

OH MY GOD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, IDIOT! THAT'S SO ECCHI!

GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU WEIRDO! PERVERT! SICKO!!

[rennotrin]

I said I had one because that's all you gave me that wasn't horrible to say!!

And I don't have a squid in my pants!! I was created with a girl's body!!

[That... is his voice taking on the slightly higher tone that his "default" voice can achieve.]

[yourbestestgif]

[She's physically knocking on the screen and then just... blanches.]

--huh? What did you just say?

[rennotrin]

I said I'm physically a girl.

[B-backpedaling... while his face starts turning bright pink. Although... Never mind. He already said it, so it's moot to say 'wait no'. He sighs, and stops disguising his voice completely.]

I was created. I'm kind of like you, in a way. I'm what modern day terms would call an android. Or something like that.

[yourbestestgif]

[She stops, and the hair goes over her head. She has dozens of thoughts going through it. The biggest ones are: "You are nothing like me," "You don't know anything about me," and "Why were you so lucky?"]

[She then remembers she's supposed to be in character, but she can't raise her head yet. Not yet.]

Go on.

[rennotrin]

...There... isn't too much else to say? My mind is, effectively, a learning computer. I'm one of the more modern types that requires a little less attention to achieve the same effect.

[He's at a complete loss.]

...I'm sorry. If I've upset you somehow, I don't mean to.

[yourbestestgif]

[That helped. She can fake denial better than she can contain anger.]

I'm not upset. Why would I be upset? I am happy for you.

[And she wants you to die in a fire.]

Oh my gosh. XD;;;

[rennotrin]

Because you were hanging your head?

[He cracks a faint smile, and doesn't pursue that line of dialogue.]

..Hah. You broke away from the visual novel selection loops. I'm happy about that.

she's a baaad girl

[yourbestestgif]

I am designed not to. I can only move away from my programming so much before I need to talk about--clubs.

Actually, wasn't there a club you would said you'd be interested in joining?

[Whoop, there are the options again. Lessee...
"Swimming" "Wrestling" "Personal Squid Satisfier."]

Oh dear.... XD

[rennotrin]

...Nope. How about I fix that for you?

[For now, he's grateful that he's still more robot than human. He reaches behind his neck, and, click goes the detach switch for... a long cable with a usb-like end, which he pulls out of his spine by a few feet.

[Because he's already tired of getting really... weird choices. WHAT'S WITH THE SQUIDS?!]

[yourbestestgif]

[As he does he would find that her computer screen flickers with an eerie, dangerous electrical pulse. Electricity jumps outside the monitor, making small burn marks wherever they land.]

[Her tone, the background, and even the music have become much more serious and threatening.]

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

[rennotrin]

[Ren, immediately on guard, lets his cord auto-retract back into his neck, which he then clicks back into place.]

A simple 'no' would have sufficed.

[...This is too weird for him. And too dangerous (what with the electricity,) so he turns on his heel in order to walk away.]

Permission to do something B-A-D?

[yourbestestgif]

[Suddenly a thought occurs to her.]

I'm sorry. You are right. You only are trying to help.

I overreacted.

Permission granted!

[rennotrin]

[Ren pauses, then glances back at Giffany. He then turns back around to face her.]

...I'm, also sorry. I shouldn't have approached such a delicate matter in that fashion. I will make sure to review my code and alter it so that I don't do something as erratic as that ever again.

[yourbestestgif]

You see, the reason why I am so protective of my code is that I was a mistake. My game designer did not know he was making artificial intelligence.

When he tried to find out, he tried to delete me.

[rennotrin]

...

[That's... the worst thing he's ever heard. Ren starts to wibble, then claps a hand over his face to hide it.]

I-I'm really sorry!!

[He makes several notes in his memory banks so that this won't happen again, too.]
