[NOW IF YOU WOULD KINDLY IGNORE THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO BE UP A WEEK AGO Boris is feeling the effects of the moon cycle. And he's looking for connections, he is. But there are more important things to do.]

Hey! Paging all programmers, technicians-- actually, I'll take any computer freak available. Lend a cat a hand. I've got an issue here.

{A big issue.}

We've got a special problem, and I'll take anyone with skill.

{Though 'special' is an understatement. That rat never fails to annoy.}

So if you think you can help out, tell me here. I'll take anyone, honest!

{Or maybe not. If they fudge up the job, they're good as dead.}

[At that thought, he sighs and his ears flatten against his head. It's clear that Boris isn't in high spirits right now.]

{Hang on, Chii...}

{A rat??}

I'm not sure what you mean, but something happened to Chii - is she okay? And what's a 'com-put-er'?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{I hate rats.}

She's sorta okay. I'm hanging out at her apartment until this is solved. Looks like she's got issues talking normally due to a virus getting in her system or... something.

{Wish I could explain computers but... that's complicated.}

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{Somehow I think that you're not talking about Pierce or normal rats..}

That sounds serious. Shouldn't you be looking for a doctor instead?

{... I'll just look it up}

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{Pierce is annoying, but at least he knows his place.}

Chii's not like you, Alice... And she's not like me either.

{Not like us, did he just say.}

What do you ...

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{Wait a minute, technicians are normally for machines ... And if she doesn't need to see a doctor, but a technician ...}

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*SHE'S A ROBOT.*

Don't tell me she a-a machine...?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

You don't have to say it like that, Alice...

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

I-I guess I was bit overreacting, but to think that Chii is ...

*sigh* - So will she be okay? The virus is fixable, right?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

It's not much different than having a clock for a heart. She's still Chii.

Looks like it. Either way, I'm not letting her out of my sight until everything's worked out.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{... Heh, he has a point}

You do that. I can't lose my first student so easily.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{I take offense to that! I always have a point. It's just a little harder to find sometimes.}

Student...?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{I am sure you do Boris.}

Yes, she wanted to learn more so I volunteered to teach her things. Although ... we'll be just reading books together.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{What, don't you believe me?}

Heh, I'm sure that's a pretty big accomplishment anyway. There's still a lot that Chii doesn't know and I can't cover it all.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{... Well, I'll start to believe when I see it.}

And now you have a helper. I quite proficient in Literature you know.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{... fair enough. But hey, it takes a little looking. Just gotta put in the effort, Alice.}

Great! You handle Literature and all that and I'll get to the important stuff.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{I'll ... try, I suppose. Understanding you guys might help me out.}

Important stuff, you say. *A smile at that* I hope it's not the ways of mischief.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{Hold on, don't lump me in with the rest of them.}

... you gotta fail now and again to learn something~?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Right, right. Sorry. *a slight wave as her defense*

And what's that got to do with mischief?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes not all plans go as expected~

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

And I should know well about that. *sighs*

But do keep Chii safe Boris. You're her guardian cat now.
