--ind of virus?

[A feed opens up, directly in the middle of the man's conversation with himself, looking rather confused and showing mild signs of tension and worry.]

Looks like some BBS of sorts. What in the world did Haruhi install on this thing...

...Did she just find the ducks amusing or something? Is it their mascot? What...

[The video continues with him currently displeased, and confused. And the camera rolls...]

(This kinda stuffs religious faith in the face...)

...Alright, all this is way too complicated at the given moment...

So basically, just keep doing things like this (Even if I'd rather not.) and let time work it's magic.

...And...you're dead. (I'd be lying if I wasn't interested in how things work--with this and in her world. But would I be getting myself into something else more troublesome...?!)

The summary of your situation is that you have access to the community and it's not going to go away, so enjoy what you can. The viruses are sometimes fun but for the most part are pains in the ass. Viruses are basically kind of like magic things that happen in really obnoxious ways, like making people hear your thoughts or see your future, or turning into cats for a day or something like that. The DDD is presently working on a method to counteract these viruses.

Yes, dead. Dead as dead can be. I'm in the afterlife, so I'm just dead, not a ghost or a zombie or some other unoriginal accusation you're about to start asking me about. I'm a dead teenager who lead an extremely unfair life and that's why I'm here, because this place is only for people who died young after never having a chance to have control over their life because somehow it got screwed up before we were able to stand on our own two feet.

Got everything? It's not really that complicated.

[lazyfacepalm]

(...I...probably shouldn't ask too much about her world, if it's as touchy a subject as that.

--Viruses that read minds, though? And see the future? This thing can do that?! Don't read my mind, I'm begging you. ...Although, seeing into my future doesn't seem like a bad thing. If I knew what was coming for me, it'd be neat! But I'm pretty sure there's some kind of butterfly effect--"don't kill a butterfly in the past!" or something...)

...Okay, I think I got it. What's this DDD thing you're talking about, though?

(I'm curious, and it's the only topic I got that won't throw too much stuff at me--I hope. I still gotta register what's happening right now! ...And it'll get off the death topic for her sake. See, I'm a good guy, honest!)

The Dangerous Duck Directive! A rebellion group designed to combat the viruses on the community, composed of various members of it.

[lazyfacepalm]

(...What is this, the SOS Brigade except all over all over the multiverses!?)

How do you combat a virus? Last I checked they're just computer scripts.

[tenminutes]

Not those kinds of viruses, moron. Like I said, viruses here are more the weird things with superpowers, suddenly growing old, or an evil twin showing up for a couple of days. I already explained this, you know.

[lazyfacepalm]

Then how would you battle those.

[tenminutes]

Plenty of ways! We're still working on some, but for a while having parties worked because the community loves parties. It seems like it got bored when we had too many in a row though.

[lazyfacepalm]

(Can a community really get bored...)

Maybe you should try headbutting the community. They'll get mad, and then release all the viruses they can think of! Then boom, no more viruses.

[tenminutes]

Do I look stupid enough to headbutt a computer screen? Why don't you try it? Moron.

[lazyfacepalm]

(Seems to have more sense than Haruhi, that's a fact.)

Show me this DDD thing sometime. I'll take it you're the brigade leader then? Who else is in this vigilante group?

[tenminutes]

Directive, not brigade! Also the leader of a Battlefront in my world. The members of the DDD though are 11-12, Doc Scratch, Greed, Kefka, Morrigan, Kano, Wanda, Steve, Jak, Gellert, Tidus, Battler, Ange, Utena, Karen, Rika, Kyousuke #1, Kyousuke #2, and Mr. Agent Coulson. Considerations for members right now are Peggy and Black Rock Shooter, but they don't know it yet. Open recruiting might have to happen soon, I haven't done that in a while.

[lazyfacepalm]

These names are so...ambiguous. What about you then, Ms. Directive.

[tenminutes]

They're just names of people at the community! Mine's Yuri. Yuri Nakamura. Though some people call my Yurippe so you can call me that too. Japanese formalities are kind of useless after you're dead.

[ Yuri pauses for a second. She didn't catch his name, but Haruhi did tell her not to recruit certain people from the SOS Brigade. ] Mikuru's a girl's name and she said Koizumi had been here before. Yuki could be either and Kyon doesn't even sound like a real name, so that'd mean you're either Yuki or Kyon, right?

[lazyfacepalm]

...She told you about us. (That damn Haruhi!)

[tenminutes]

Of course. We were staking out who the both of us weren't allowed to recruit. Primary SOS Brigade members are off-limits for the DDD and SSS. Just like if she were still here, she wouldn't be allowed to recruit any SSS members.

[lazyfacepalm]

Guess it'd be sort of like betrayal on both parts. (Listen to me, it's not a battlefront war group we're in! It's just a school club! You're allowed to join more than one club you know!

Sigh. Not like I was any interested in joining in the first place. Although it'd be something to observe, that's for sure.)

It's Kyon, by the way. (See, I'd probably care more about Koizumi being here--he was already suspect as it may--but I doubt I'd get anywhere trying to see what HE did of all things.)

[tenminutes]

What the hell kind of name is Kyon anyway?

[ Maybe she should come up with a nickname for him. Kyon-rin. Kyon-pi. Kyo-nii. That sounded way too weird and she was pretty sure she was older anyway. Kyoko, if Kyon was a girl. That would be too easy though. ]

[lazyfacepalm]

Ask my little sister, not me. It's a nickname that got spread, to my dismay.

(Please, tell me if you have anything better.

...No, you might think of something even scarier...)

[tenminutes]

Kyororin.

[ She's going with it. ]

[lazyfacepalm]

What.

[tenminutes]

[ Again. Total poker face. ]

Kyororin.

[lazyfacepalm]

That doesn't even sound any better!

(To think that I had hope SHE'D release this curse of a name! Now it's even worse!)

[tenminutes]

Sure it does! In fact, I'm going to tell everyone to start calling you that!

[lazyfacepalm]

Give me a break! I'd rather have everyone call me by my stupid nickname than that!

(Nyoro~n!)
