none of you say a thing.

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

Yes. I can move through my computer systems freely.

Fortunately, I seem to have acquired a trainer.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

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

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

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...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.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

...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.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

...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.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

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?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Well, like, I know in I, Robot, the first function of every robot was to protect humans from harm. And one of the robots went crazy and decided that the best way to protect humans was to prevent them from ever doing anything stupid, and that meant controlling everything they did.

It, um, sometimes does, yeah, haha.

That's a good point. But whether you are or not, you know that your, uh, trainer will think you are, so.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...well, it's certainly a logical solution to the problem.

I shall just have to continue deceiving him until this virus is over.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe, but that doesn't mean it's a good one.

Good luck with that, then. ...Um. Why do you have to deceive him, exactly?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I don't really see any errors in it.

Because he keeps trying to do things that are potentially dangerous.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Most people don't like be ordered around.

Oh! Yeah, that's...not so good.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Even if it's for their own good?

Not particularly, no.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Even then, yeah.

But you'll be able to, like, lie to him and keep him in line, or whatever?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Hm. Perhaps they should re-evaluate their priorities.

Providing the virus ends sooner rather than later, yes.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

People haven't ever liked being bossed around, mostly. It's kind of been that way, uh, forever.

That's good.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. It makes things rather difficult.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

It also makes them interesting.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Hm. Yes, I can't deny that.
