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.]

What CAN you tell me about this whole thing?
masturbatestoyou: (You can't be serious.)

You're pretty stingy with info, huh?
masturbatestoyou: (That's a tough one...)

You're limited by your programming, huh? I suppose that makes sense. This other NPCs has gone beyond that limit though, right? They're able to act on their own desires.
masturbatestoyou: (This is serious.)

What if it was able to develop them though? After all, you just said that it's self developing. What kind of limits are there to its evolution?
masturbatestoyou: (Long way down...)

What's driving it to be human then if it can't feel emotion?

Despite the lack of depth of a real person, most NPCs think they're ordinary people at an ordinary school, right? Yet this NPC has grown self aware of that. Although, I suppose the same could be said of you too...

But if they really wanted to stay discreet, wouldn't they just take on the appearance of a regular generic NPC instead of attempting to act as a real human?

Wouldn't it be easier for an NPC to emulate normal NPC behavior though? I mean, among people, they're a needle in a haystack, but if they were among other NPCs, wouldn't that make it a needle in a stack of needles? Besides, the NPC population is a lot larger than we are.

Is there a specific reason it HAS to act abnormally though?
masturbatestoyou: (No. Just no.)

Right. If you had the info, you'd be handling it without getting us involved, wouldn't you?
masturbatestoyou: (This isn't helping...)

I'll keep an eye out for this NPC of yours, but even if I discover anything, I'm not going to guarantee that I'll tell you anything. I'll be acting on my own sense of justice here.
masturbatestoyou: (Wait... What!?)

I appreciate that. But if I meet this NPC and don't feel they deserve to be turned in, I won't betray my ideals no matter what the reward is.
