It seems that a growing threat has presented itself here. The programmer wrote the code of an NPC in order to override particular aspects of the Angel Player program. However, the NPC's capabilities go beyond what he had planned. It has a high learning curve and special abilities that could allow it to rewrite bugs or any other programming.

This poses a potential problem that I need your assistance with.

I need your help to find this self-learning program NPC. Simply locate and detain it, then let me know so we can retrieve it. It should not be too difficult, I believe. It may be helpful to know that the NPC would likely be pretending to be human as well.

Of course, such a task would not go without its rewards. Whoever can find this NPC will be given the opportunity to request something. I will code whatever that person would like to be programmed into this world. This is a grand reward, so I am sure you realize just how important this task is.

Thank you, and good luck.

[OOC: This is a world-building opportunity! Characters could request to program virtually anything (pun absolutely intended) from a roller coaster to even a petting zoo. Whatever floats their boat. Also, while there will be responses from the Mysterious Boy, feel free to have characters discuss amongst themselves.]

the scope of that reward notwithstanding that is one ballsy proposal coming from you/the programmer.

[afterlifer]

Do these terms not satisfy? It's beneficial to both parties to apprehend the program as quickly as possible.

[onewayroad]

the terms aren't the issue.

Do we just...like lock it in a room or something?

It may be best to knock it unconscious if possible.

Sounds easy enough.

An NPC posing as a formerly living human? That's actually even possible?

text

[afterlifer]

All it takes is a slight alteration in the programming to allow it.

[masturbatestoyou]

But no matter how much a program imitates a living thing, there's no way it could flawlessly pull it off!

[... Even though we're technically not "living" at this point.]

The reward goes to whoever turns in the NPC. Perhaps you should propose a committee to discuss what to do if you find it?

[tsunball]

lbr its not like were ever gonna agree on this 1 so i dont wanna waste time arguing w/ ppl

[ Then what are you doing right now, Leon.. ]

[sleepybuster]

What sort of thing would you want then, Kuwata-san?

[ Guess who feels like she's right on the money? This girl. She has an idea as to who he's talking about, and if her suspicions are correct, she'll be able to get something she wants. ]

Do know this NPC's name or what they look like? If we don't get that much information, then it's going to be even harder for anyone to search for them.

The program altered its appearance after it was released. It was completed and released at the beginning of October, so it would be someone who appeared sometime after then.

[extraordinarily]

So you have no idea who this person is, what they look like, or what their name is. ... I have a few guesses, but I'll have to go through everyone just in case.

[...he can't lie and say that that reward doesn't look good. Too good, actually.]

my, my, that's quite the generous offer.

you must really want this problem solved quickly.

[afterlifer]

As quickly as possible, for both of our benefits.

[ Hello there old friend, he has not missed you. ]

Fucking incredible. You guys managed to create something even shittier than yourselves. Con-fucking-gratulations.

[ He's pissed off to actually swear multiple times in written language. Really not impressed with your bullshit and the programmer's, Fantoche. ]

[afterlifer]

I would recommend against your usual methods should you choose to assist, Kohaku.

[afterlifer]

Geez, that sounds really dangerous! Are you suuure you shouldn't be doing it yourself? You have a lot more power than we do, don't you?

[afterlifer]

I have ways through which I could, but it would be far simpler to ask for help. You all are more acquainted with each other than I would be, after all.
