[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...}

*...Wow, never seen you this distraught before Boris. She isn't a computer freak (whatever that is), but she is rather worried about Chii after hearing that.*

Is something the matter?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

Everything's the matter. I hate rats, Alice. I really do.

{Am I allowed to kill that one? I still don't know. And Xerxes isn't any help. He deserves to be dead, but...}

{'Rat?' Vincent Nightray?}

If it has to do with computers, I think I can help.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{Bingo!}

Yeah? Ever heard of a perosocom?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

{... What did he do now?}

No... I can't say I have.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

{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]

{He lured Chii to him and then gave her a virus. Or... something. I'm not great with computers myself.}

I figured it would be a long shot if you did...

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

{I see.}

... Well, I have a lot of experience with computers, so I might still be able to help.

(And I'll take any chance to get back at that bastard.}

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

I could help you.

In return, I want you to answer a few questions once I've done so.

[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.}

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

... give me a sampling on those questions.

{Learned not to agree to things right off the bat the hard way...}

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

... I don't know. You sure you won't mess anything up?

{This is Chii we're talking about, not just any other device.}

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

I just want to know who this 'rat' is...[Smiiiiiile.]

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

I promise.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

Oh. Vincent Nightray.

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

...That's interesting.

Give me your location, I'll repair the damage.

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

... alright. {I'll think about it.}

First off.... what've you gotten against the rat?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

Wait wait wait.

It couldn't be that easy.

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

It can be. I'm curious, so that's all.

Or are you doubting my abilities...?

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

{I'm feeling you on the curiosity thing, I am, but....}

Sorry if I'm not completely cool with someone handling Chii when I don't know them.

For all I know, the rat could've put you up to this.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

He threatened my friends.

[un-forgetting.livejournal.com]

[Laughter. Oh so much laughter.]

Nightray? Why would I bother working with him? He'd just be a nuisance.

Chii is in no danger from me, I can assure you that. From what I can tell, I've got no reason to do a damn thing to her.

[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]

{... ahahaha, generic~}

Sounds rough. Not surprising, though.

[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.
