I suspect someone's messing with me

[bornsnarky]

I know I'm not the greatest with computers and all that shit, but usually when I log on I see more than just this duck place.

A certain Vulcan-shaped person's gonna be smug at me if I have to get him down here to fix it.

Do I know any of you? More pertinently, have I pissed off any of you lately?

Pissed off? Not that I know of. Is that a common thing for you? [ It's pretty obvious he doesn't remember being here before, and since she doesn't like when people bring it up to her, she'll give him the courtesy of not dumping it on him. ]

Wait, better question. What shape, exactly, is a Vulcan? Because my geometry book never covered that one.

[bornsnarky]

[aaand the fact that you haven't answered my first question will sail right on by me... for now]

Hey, I consider it a talent. Those who live life with everyone liking them... ah, something smart about sycophants. I think. I'm tired, sorry.

Oh, ha ha. Humanoid, and pointy. That help?

[autophoenix]

[ Yesssss, she will consider herself lucky for this. Brb thanking lucky stars. ]

Truth be told, I'd be a little disappointed if you were a sycophant. And, yes, I know what that means. I will admit that I don't know anything humanoid that's pointy, though -- with the exception of Lady Gaga, I mean.

[bornsnarky]

[I am fascinated in spite of myself]

Lady....... Gaga? And good for you, kid. A decent vocabulary will take you far.

[notanarthropod]

Well, it's less that you've annoyed anyone here and more that the community's just taken an interest in you, I think...

[bornsnarky]

Oh, that's never good.

[notanarthropod]

It really isn't, considering this community...

[bornsnarky]

Yeah? You been around for a while?

[material_guy]

If someone's gonna be smug over havin' to "fix" this, they're not gonna be able to do it. Then you'll get to be twice as smug at them.

[bornsnarky]

Oh, now, you've got me intrigued. What do you mean?

[material_guy]

This community popping up. Everyone says it'll go away and let you do some other stuff after you make some posts, but if you try to get rid of it some other way, it won't work. So, if a Vulcan-shaped person tries to get smug at you about it, you can sit back and be smug at him when he can't get it to go away any other way, either!

[bornsnarky]

...I do believe I like the way you think, sir.

Name's McCoy. Who might you be?

[infinite_arcana]

If this is all you're seeing, then the community likes you. You might be stuck here for a while.

[bornsnarky]

Huh. Can't say it's bad to be liked, exactly, but when you don't know anything about the people doing the liking...

Suppose I should introduce myself. Name's McCoy. What do you mean by stuck here for a while, please?

[infinite_arcana]

It's not really the people on here that are making you stuck. It's the site itself.

I'm Minako and this is Drama Drama Duck. You can think of this place as a sentient website slash blog. It finds interesting people and takes charge of their computers and phones and such to make them communicate with others on the site as well. It comes and goes, but when it wants attention, it wants it.

[bornsnarky]

Ah, thank you Minako. That sounds... perturbing, to say the least.

[no_wing_knight]

I have no idea who you are so I can't be pissed off at you.

[bornsnarky]

Huh. Right.

Name's McCoy. Leonard, to be precise. I take it you're not the one futzing with me, then.

[no_wing_knight]

The name's Priscilla Asagiri, but everyone calls me Priss.

Nah, I'm not the one doing it. In fact, the same kinda crap happened to me when I first saw this place.

[bornsnarky]

Ah, Priss, thanks.

Yeah? How'd you find out about it?
