Oh huh.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can tell.
*pouts*

@Ignacious

Not entirely a good thing. Don't worry; it's a good sign that you're not.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

That’s the other part that I can’t quite figure out. This program replicates itself, but not what you install it to. Like, let’s say that you installed this and incorporated it into your programming. Then when you tried to remove it, it rebuilt itself.

@Webmaster

That can't be its sole purpose, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*sighs as I jump down to you both*
Well, we got both now. You two made it seem easy though.

@Ignacious

I'm good at cheating, what can I say?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Child of neon lights and overstimulation. May the net never change.
*After all of the streams find their way into the combined tablet, it gently bobs up and down with the same maroon hue and shadowed by the prompt “Segmentation Fault. Execute debug triage?”*

@Server

Sooo...?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’ve always been a rebel, myself.
*Combines both halves of the tablet, which unify in a bright flash and glow deep red amidst ribbons of data streaming in complex patterns around the object*

@Server

*Watches the spectacle while continuing to speak nonchalantly*
Creature of the night.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Something wrong?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Every step deeper into the darkness makes it harder to leave.
*Walks the tablet over to its twin*

@Server

Hate to tell ya, you've been stuck in that darkness for years.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

A goofball is what you are.
*Leaps off the top of the tower, and a pair of air jets in my shoes kick in to soften the landing a few inches above the ground*

@Server

This changes nothing.
*Slides off your back to my feet*

<Snipped quote by Server>

*watches you both unamused*

@Ignacious

*Gives a thumbs up*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That depends, do like the idea of me princess-carrying you to the bottom, or do you want to risk the odds of falling as soon as you change the terrain?

@Server

I would be perfectly fine. But I also am a princess. It’s a tough call.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It really isn’t all that bad. I wonder what took Cure so long.
*Finally pulls us both to the top and grabs the other half of the slab*
Invisivision.

@Server

That’s two. And also really slow.
…
Do I have to stay up here still?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Grabs onto each step and hauls myself up, straining more due to gravity each time*

@Server

You’ve got it! This is a cakewalk for you!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Grabs onto the edge of the spiral ramp and uses it to fling myself upward like rungs of a ladder instead of running around the center*
Especially your progress in pronouncing invisivision.

@Server

That’s one!
*The final obstacle is a simple set of stairs, but an almost comically large one where each stair is several steps across to the next*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I’ll let you work on that while—
*Sprints forward, leaping from one to the other, not letting both feet land on any of the squares before launching to the next one*

@Server

Good call! If we both work on important stuff at the same time, it’s really efficient.
*Looks to the side as the path upward comes to an end, and a floating spiral-ramp upward becomes the next platform in view, though not inconveniently spaced like the prior parts*
