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.]

As I said, if you have to act abnormally, then it is best to hide amongst other unique things. If you have a hundred normal things and one different thing, it will become obvious.

Is there a specific reason it HAS to act abnormally though?

text

[afterlifer]

No one would create a special NPC without something in mind for it. Unfortunately, I don't know what that reason was beyond what I've already told you.

[masturbatestoyou]

Right. If you had the info, you'd be handling it without getting us involved, wouldn't you?

[afterlifer]

You've caught on.

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.

[afterlifer]

If I were asking out of a sense of justice, I would not offer a reward.

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.
