none of you say a thing.

...Sumeragi, I think we're going to have to postpone any plans for the near future.

[know_sacrifice]

You too, huh?

[nonesodangerous]

...yes, me too. Just one more reason to finish that program.

[know_sacrifice]

No kidding.

Other than the whole suddenly-being-a-Pokemon thing, you doing all right?

[nonesodangerous]

As well as I can be.

...it's not so bad being like this, actually. It certainly makes programming more efficient.

[know_sacrifice]

Heh, really? Guess that's pretty convenient!

[nonesodangerous]

It would seem I am currently a cyberspace-based entity.

...the form is not exactly helpful for physical tasks, however.

[know_sacrifice]

Whoa, really? Cyberspace based? Man, Pokemon got weird after I stopped watching, I think.

No, I guess not. Is there anyone around who can help you with stuff like that?

[nonesodangerous]

Yes. I can move through my computer systems freely.

Fortunately, I seem to have acquired a trainer.

[know_sacrifice]

That's pretty cool, actually. Like something out of the Matrix.

Yeah? Why would that, um, be a good thing?

[nonesodangerous]

...I don't know it.

Well, he can do the things that I can't, in this state. However, keeping him in line seems to be even more trouble than usual.

[know_sacrifice]

It's a movie in my world. Some thing with robots taking over the world and humans live in cyberspace, I don't really know.

...Oh, duh! Haha, that makes sense.

[nonesodangerous]

...robots taking over the world. How strange.

Mm. The problem is trying to stop him from doing things he knows he should not in normal circumstances.

[know_sacrifice]

Not really. There's lotsa movies about stuff like that. Like Terminator.

I guess there's not much you can do if he's, uh, your trainer, is there?

[nonesodangerous]

...aren't robots created by humans to perform the functions they were designed for? Or do they have some other meaning in your world?

No, not really. It doesn't help that I seem to have become a Pokemon known for its glitches. He dismisses my truths as glitches, and so I must come up with convenient lies to keep him in line.

[know_sacrifice]

No, that's what they are. But most of these movies have the robots taking over as, like, part of their function, or, like, evolving sentience and deciding they don't want to serve people any more.

At least you, like, know, so you can kind of work around the "glitches".

[nonesodangerous]

Part of their function? To take over? That seems illogical. And robots cannot just...decide to stop serving people. Your entertainment takes very strange forms.

Mm, well. I do not think I am currently suffering from any glitches, but then again, how would I know?
