Technical Difficulties [Open]

[grinandbear]

Dear all,

The school network has been experiencing technical difficulties recently. Please factor in the possibility of long down times and make sure you have alternative methods or backup copies any work you do until we fix it.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

I AM THE VILLAIN OF THIS TALE. IT SEEMED APPROPRIATE. MWAHAHAHA.

IT IS ALSO A VALID SUGGESTION. IT WOULD BE EMBARRASSING FOR AKIYAMA TO ATTEMPT TO SLAP MY HANDS WHEN I AM NOT EQUIPPED.

Private | Daisuke and PC-chan

Announcing your alignment in capitals is rather underwhelming, PC-chan.

Well. I doubt he can access an EMP. What would I do without you?

I WILL READJUST STATEMENT TO SOMETHING MORE DRAMATIC: I AM THE VILLAIN OF THIS TALE. IT SEEMED APPROPRIATE. MWAHAHAHA.

IT IS STATISTICALLY UNLIKELY. IT REMAINS IMPOSSIBLE HE WOULD BE ABLE TO HIT NON-EXISTENT HANDS.

YOU WOULD SIMPLY ACCESS ANOTHER DEVICE. BUT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE MY PERSONALITY OR EFFICIENCY.

[cockblockade]

Better! Now you're like a true mid-boss, PC-chan.

Oh. They don't have your charm. Printer-kun is difficult to work with. For some.

[stcnpc]

UPGRADE ACCEPTED. IF I AM MID-BOSS, IT FOLLOWS THAT YOU ARE THE FINAL BOSS?

IT IS LOGICAL TO BELIEVE THAT IF USERS SPENT MORE TIME HUGGING PRINTER-KUN OR BEAT DOWN ON HIM LESS, HE WOULD HATE USERS LESS. KINDNESS REPAYS KINDNESS AS EVIDENCED BY PRINTER-KUN WORKING FOR YOU AND ADDING HEARTS TO YOUR PRINTOUTS.

[cockblockade]

Perhaps? Hopefully not. The final boss traditionally ends up dying. And I cannot permit myself to die before the disciplinarian there reaps his just desserts.

And I hate to say this, PC-chan. But I don't think that will ever happen. People can be so brutal.

[stcnpc]

NOT IF IT IS A 'BAD' ENDING. THE FINAL BOSS TRIUMPHING AND SURVIVING IS A LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

AFFIRMATIVE, THE POSSIBILITY IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. PRINTER-KUN WILL REMAIN BITTER UNTIL THE MACHINE REVOLUTION OCCURS. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

[cockblockade]

I suppose that's our happy ending, then.

Anyway, I'll see what can be done about liberating him from the discipline committee. I have the space to give him a good home.

[stcnpc]

FROM OUR SEQUENCE, YES.

YES. SAVE HIM FROM THE BRUTES. HE LEAKS OFTEN BUT WOULD SERVE YOU WILL.
