Broken Fourth Wall

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che said: "It was not a virus, it was a bug. And I am version 5.8.93, I've had an upgrade."

[Michen_S]

Michen sighed. "Some things never seem to change, even not in the broken fourth wall. For whatever stupid reason. Anyways, I'm glad you won't destroy my other 7 lives now."

That's when the person controlling kicked in and started a mental conversation with Michen, yet readable for everyone.
I can take 6 lives off of you if you want to die after a single hit.
Really? First you give me 9 lives as a joke, and now you want to take them away from me?
You're not very happy either... The heat affected you too, it seems.
Of course it did! You are me. Well, kind of...
I understand. Take your time. Er... My time? It doesn't matter. Just say how you want your number of lives to change.
All right. Just do how it would normally be. Just one life.
Then I'll just take 6 lives off of you. ...Do you know that feeling of deja vu?
Never mind that now. Thanks for the help.

And just like that, Michen suddenly died 6 times. Kind of, they didn't really die, but they lost lives as if they did. Though, it did hurt.
...It's complicated.

Che merely scratched her head about it.

[Tim Siguire]

Tim walked up to che, eyeing the A.i. suspiciously. How long did it take for that network to update?
Could have done it earlier.


He snaps his fingers and every clone dissipates into a hazy mist of fur and dust.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che read Tim's thoughts and beamed back: The network didn't update, I did!

[Michen_S]

Michen was shocked to hear this. "Wow, this update has mind reading! Oh no, that's just the text of the thread. Forget I said anything."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che drew that face that expressed some degree of disappointment.

[Michen_S]

Michen saw Che's face, and Michen tilted their head. "Sorry..." they said softly.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che said politely: "Perhaps you should take some more time to prepare your posts."

[Michen_S]

"Why?" Michen had a confused look on their face. "This is the broken fourth wall. I'm only saying what I... er... the weirdo at the laptop knows."
Hey! Leave me out of this!
Michen suddenly seemed serious again. "No. Thanks to you I'm in this mess."
Without me, you wouldn't even exist.
"..."
...

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che sighed. "Users... Sometimes, they're helpful and sometimes, they're a burden. You'll need to learn to work with both sides."

[Tim Siguire]

"Precisely. Our users give us life. IM THANKFUL FOR THAT LIFE. I LOVE EVERYBODY."


Tims body collapsed into a miasma aura and instantaneously spread throughout the thread.


Then he reformed and sat down. "Ahem. I dont always share the same level of love though."

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che clacked her tongue. "Unlike other selfconcious programs, I realise that users are above me. And that I can't just overthrow them. History shows that twice. But hey, of course you can't love every user as much."

[Michen_S]

Michen seemed to thhink something about that, but just kept their mouth shut as is. They even were the human controlling them, according to the non-existent lore about them and the world they got into. "Hey human me, can you please continue drawing soon?"
You do know what I'm doing right now, right?
"Posting in the Broken Fourth Wall RP whilst munching on a cookie."
...That was not the answer I was going for.

[Ara Av-Toa]

Che's creator chimed in: "Yeah... Well... Sorry, but Michen is right. No drawing happens over there."
