[The first glimpse anyone will get is of what looks like a AA battery charging up. Then gold bits of data, slowly coming together.

Then you'll get a brief glimpse of J walking into the shot, before said gold data pulls itself together enough to push him out of the way.

Welcome back, Jin. Now, what do you have to say for yourself, you mad genius, you?]

...Holy shit, that actually worked.

[That is new! Stanley jolts back a couple steps.]

It did! It worked!

What were you trying to do?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Not die.

[Jin's more solid now, looking at himself still a little shocked]

That backup did the trick.

[twobloomsup]

Oh

OH

[Stanley shivers.]

Thank goodness!

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, I know.

[He rubs at the back of his head. Still slightly transparent.]

Looks like I'm still buffering. Overall kinda weird. But better than the alternative.

[twobloomsup]

I can imagine!

...no, no I can't.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, let's not, 'kay?

[twobloomsup]

You're here with us, and that's what matters!

[boostup4beetbuster]

Pretty much. Now just to wait for everything to finish installing and loading, so I can actually DO something.

[twobloomsup]

Are you hungry?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Not really, honestly. See, I couldn't restore my real body--it's in pieces all over the remains of Hyperspace. So...yeah. Not much I can do about it.

[twobloomsup]

[Stanley shivers at what he just heard, but then calms down somewhat.

Then he is deep in thought for a moment.]

What something are you wanting to do?

[boostup4beetbuster]

Well, we defeated the bad guy, saved the world, don't have a lot to do...I'm gonna have to figure out how to have NORMAL life.

sorry, I was busy doing a bunch of things [action]

[THERE IS A TSUNDERE MENACE RUNNING AT YOU WITH A FLYING TACKLE-HUG ON CAMERA.]

Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

Re: sorry, I was busy doing a bunch of things [action]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[And he is almost completely solid. Almost. Still buffering. Stupid startup.]

Mako! See, who's an awesome super-genius? Who's the best?

[yes_im_kawaii]

You, obviously! Who else! [rubs face on-- gah nearly fell through him] Auu! This is weird.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, software updates. This might take a while. [He rolls his eyes]

[yes_im_kawaii]

I hope you don't get ads. Do you get ads?

[boostup4beetbuster]

...Okay, next step is installing adblocker. I knew I forgot something. No wonder I'm taking forever to load!

[yes_im_kawaii]

Don't start asking people for credit cards and telling them they won stuff.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I only do that to Kaitou.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Seriously? Is that because he tells people to do stuff and they believe it?

[poor Commander Boring's tie]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Pretty much. And he steals stuff. So the right thing to do is steal back from him.

[No, no it isn't.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

I guess it's better than stealing stuff from around here and getting yelled at.

[embersandashes]

What worked? Be more specific.

[boostup4beetbuster]

I managed to backup my data using my connection to the community, then powered the whole thing up so I could manifest my avatar. Basically, I just didn't die.
