SHIT

Kaitou! Calling Kaitou! Answer because I've tried calling Ren and I think he's changed his settings to "ignore the genius"!

I think I made a mistake.

What did you do.

And does it involve the freakish monsters coming at me lately?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Shit. I should have let Yurippe test it instead of him. It's buggy--I knew it, which is why I wanted it tested. There was a chance that anything teleported through might get infected with a virus, like that weird one that made people's food attack them.

I've been trying to get in contact with him to delete the program and swap it out for the new one, ever since I let Yurippe play with the buggy one. I didn't think he'd be using it to...well, do what I'd do, to be honest.

[of_many_treasures]

Jin goddamnit! You made it worse with the Inves that came after me. Ren teleported a open lockseed at me and it got infected with a worm virus. It's a giant ass worm tearing through Kibogahana right now! I had to lure it out of town before Yuri tore me apart!

[boostup4beetbuster]

Okay, I can fix this! Nobody's going to think twice about a Megazord appearing early, right? I'll just explain it as a test by the EMC. With machines that were supposedly no longer in use after Messiah.

...I'll fix it!

[of_many_treasures]

You'd better! I don't want to be pulling out Kamen Rider J again.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I got it. I'll say it's a test of the Go-Busters equipment. Use Hiromu's name--nobody'll suspect a thing.

[of_many_treasures]

All right, that sounds good. And it's not like they won't obviously suspect that a guy who's been to that point living with his sister won't be piloting.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I'll just explain I don't want anyone to tell Neesan.

[of_many_treasures]

Tricky. I think it could actually work.

[everything_is_dangerous]

[He says "calling Kaitou"... but Leila defaults to "Kamen Rider and/or Sentai problem = potential everybody problem".]

What's going on?

((OOC: If this was supposed to be actively private or something, just smack me and I'll delete this.))

[boostup4beetbuster]

Nothing horrible. Nothing serious. Just...if I ever give you anything to beta test, please remind me that you've got it so I can swap it out for the complete version. Before I forget and go onto the next project.

[everything_is_dangerous]

What was being tested, and what happened to it?

[Congratulations, you have summoned serious business Leila.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

It was a teleportation program. I figured I'd get it tested before the holidays came up so people could send presents, cookies, whatever. But one of my beta testers didn't answer my calls when I remembered that he had the old program.

[everything_is_dangerous]

And what exactly was the problem with the old program?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Virus prone. Not just community viruses, but other computer viruses too.

[everything_is_dangerous]

... What sort of effect would viruses have on a teleportation system?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Well, the program works by breaking down an object into data and then reconstructing it on the other side. But if a virus loads itself into the data, anything can happen. Mostly my tests involved socks getting holes in them or fruit changing flavor, but if it gets a community-based virus, you might wind up with an evil sock puppet.

[kendoleaf]

... What'd you do?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Ren was beta-testing an old version of the teleportation program I was giving out, and he hasn't swapped it out for the new one yet. And he's mad at Kaitou and sent him something. That got infected with a virus.

[kendoleaf]

Oh. That... doesn't sound good.

And he's completely ignoring you? Is he ignoring everyone else too?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Just me, I think. Unless someone else puked on him in a drunken stupor at Thanksgiving too.

[kendoleaf]

... Yeah. Okay. That's a really good reason for him to want to ignore you.

[ She's surprised he's so willing to admit it to other people, all things considered. ]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, can't really blame him for that.

[The man has no shame.]

[kendoleaf]

So... umm... your name's Jin, right? I think my brother wanted me to talk to you at some point.

But I think that should probably wait until after this whole thing you're dealing with is taken care of.

[boostup4beetbuster]

It's not that bad. Just...the damn thing just got into the stuff I was working on.

Your brother's Kirito, right?
