[Silliness, feel free to switch icons with somebody else if you want.]

[This virus affected everybody, in a way - it made all usernames invisible. What it did to only some of the people was swap their icons around so they looked like someone else entirely. Even if they video posted, the virus would make the video appear as someone else.

The result: nobody could tell who anybody was.

Issei wasn't above using viruses to have a little fun. Not to hurt anyone, but to have fun.]



What an amusing virus. Still, since I planned to ask a question of the community, there's no reason to let this cause any delay.

What would you do for something you wanted?

*After Retasu works up the nerve to reply...*

Um... I guess it would depend on if it was hurting anybody.

[unknownrival]

[Oh, hi Retasu. He almost feels a little bad about this.]



Let's say that it was. What would you consider to be worth it?

[aquaticrush]

That's a little scary to think about. I don't want to hurt anybody else, so I'm fine not getting what I want.

[unknownrival]

Nothing at all?

[aquaticrush]

Well, um... I guess if there was something really bad happening and I had to stop it, I might need to hurt someone. But I won't hurt anybody for something selfish.

[unknownrival]

Fair enough. Let's consider a different question.

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

[aquaticrush]

...what?

[unknownrival]

It must be an important question or it wouldn't be in commercials.

[aquaticrush]

I don't really know what to say to that.

[unknownrival]

This seems to be about the point where I start laughing too much to come up with a good Louis-like reply, anyway.

Hi, Retasu.

[aquaticrush]

Huh? Um, hello.

[unknownrival]

Can you tell who it is yet?

[aquaticrush]

I suppose it could be anybody. I'm sorry. The virus got you...?

[unknownrival]

It did. Let's see, how to identify myself...

Retasu, you're important to me. I want to do everything I can to help you, and I apologize for fooling you a little.

[aquaticrush]

Issei-san?

[starofchaos]

...well then. This is quite an oddity in itself.

Should I answer, or shouldn't I...

[unknownrival]

Answer if you would like to, of course.

[starofchaos]

I suppose I may as well indulge you, strange though the giver of the request may be.

It does depend on what I wanted. But there is little that would deter me if it were important enough.

[unknownrival]

Somehow I am not surprised.

...I wonder how long I should keep up pretense.

[starofchaos]

As long as you wish to, of course.

[unknownrival]

Of course.

Retasu had thought that you would be upset.

[starofchaos]

Hardly. That girl worries far too much.

[unknownrival]

That's the truth. I don't know how to help her with that.

[starofchaos]

I would like to see you succeed in this matter. Little though it matters to me.

[unknownrival]

I appreciate it, dear friend.
