[NOW IF YOU WOULD KINDLY IGNORE THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO BE UP A WEEK AGO Boris is feeling the effects of the moon cycle. And he's looking for connections, he is. But there are more important things to do.]

Hey! Paging all programmers, technicians-- actually, I'll take any computer freak available. Lend a cat a hand. I've got an issue here.

*...Wow, never seen you this distraught before Boris. She isn't a computer freak (whatever that is), but she is rather worried about Chii after hearing that.*

Is something the matter?

[carnivalcat]

Everything's the matter. I hate rats, Alice. I really do.

{Am I allowed to kill that one? I still don't know. And Xerxes isn't any help. He deserves to be dead, but...}

[heroine_pimpin]

{A rat??}

I'm not sure what you mean, but something happened to Chii - is she okay? And what's a 'com-put-er'?

[carnivalcat]

{I hate rats.}

She's sorta okay. I'm hanging out at her apartment until this is solved. Looks like she's got issues talking normally due to a virus getting in her system or... something.

{Wish I could explain computers but... that's complicated.}

[unfearful]

{'Rat?' Vincent Nightray?}

If it has to do with computers, I think I can help.

[carnivalcat]

{Bingo!}

Yeah? Ever heard of a perosocom?

[unfearful]

{... What did he do now?}

No... I can't say I have.

[carnivalcat]

{He lured Chii to him and then gave her a virus. Or... something. I'm not great with computers myself.}

I figured it would be a long shot if you did...

[un_forgetting]

I could help you.

In return, I want you to answer a few questions once I've done so.

[carnivalcat]

... give me a sampling on those questions.

{Learned not to agree to things right off the bat the hard way...}

[un_forgetting]

I just want to know who this 'rat' is...[Smiiiiiile.]

[carnivalcat]

Oh. Vincent Nightray.

[blacknredrabbit]

[Interest is perked. Rat?]

You better not mean that damn Vincent.

[She notices his ears, they remind her of someone]

{......He's like Cheshire...}

[carnivalcat]

Hit the nail on the head!

[Reading her thoughts, he smiles and his ear twitches.]

Like Cheshire? You got it all wrong. I am Cheshire~!

{At the moment, anyway.}

[blacknredrabbit]

What's wrong with him? I'll kill him if I see him!

{Tch, I hate that stupid rat}

Cheshire? I see. So you're name is Cheshire too.

{But what does he mean at the moment?}

[carnivalcat]

Be my guest! You have no idea how badly I want to.

{Everyone hates him. We should make a club.}

Noooot quite. Name's Boris. But I'm known as the Cheshire Cat too.

{It's complicated.}

[takatori_heir]

What do you need? I work with computers, and I was able to help a couple of the Vocaloids.

[carnivalcat]

... what's a Vocaloid?

[takatori_heir]

They're computer programs. But they have bodies, too.

[carnivalcat]

... walk me through it.

{What was that about curiosity and cats...?}
