[a sigh into the phone. Rin sounds a bit less hyperactive than normal.]

Jeez, these guys never run out of energy, do they? 3 weeks of April Fool's Prank, and right after they're bringing in a ton of new people.

Len, are you out there? ♪ Hurry up and call me already. That goes for everyone else - I think some of my posters are still up, but he's a blond shota and my twin brother. If you see him and he's new and lost, you better be nice to him. That's all I'm saying about it.

Anyway... um... there's something I wanted to ask. To the people who made it inside the dairy, especially. ♪

Now that it's been revealed that this is a prank... are we absolutely sure that the electricity is powered by souls in a generator? Like, was it super real, or what?

See, I just got a computer back, and I'm trying to figure out how much I should use it. I mean, no offense, but I'm definitely going to - except I'm a Vocaloid, an android, and so I really need to know whether or not I should link myself up to it for backing up my files or whatever. I'm not cool with the idea that it could transfer electricity and I'll have someone else's soul hanging out in my body. That's just too weird. It almost ... Kind of makes me want to go back to being human. But that would be dumb. I don't want to die.

So, if anyone could help me decide, that would be really great. ♪

...Oh, and while I'm at it, there's some people I didn't get a chance to thank.

[she pauses awkwardly. She's really not used to thanking people.]

...I didn't even get your names, it was so busy...

So, the guy with the telekinesis and the lame car wall, thanks for keeping me out of trouble, and um, the guy with red eyes and a Charizard, well....

[ugh, this sounds so... but she'd better say it anyway]

T-thank you for saving me.

[she's about to say something to Sealand too, but she shuts her mouth cause there really wasn't anything good about that situation. He got hurt and she wasn't able to help because she couldn't swim. She'll just steer clear of the topic.]

Um, I think that's everything! ♪

Oh.

[Ruri can't see, but Rin rubs the back of her neck sheepishly and pauses before she answers. Of course, being a robot did come with its own set of survival problems.]

W-Well yeah, it would be really sad, but it's still awfully creepy to think about. I'm worried about side effects as well. ♪

"I maintained Omoikane back home who was an AI, if you need someone to help monitor the connections I'd be happy to."

Really? ♪

Ruri-chan, is there nothing you can't do?

"I'm not very good at physical things."

Oh, that makes sense. ♪

Anyway, that sounds like it could be a good arrangement.

"Then tell me when you want me to do it, and I'll make sure everything goes without issue."

I think it should be pretty soon. ♪ The backup I made last time was while I was Rin Append, I'm not entirely sure if it's backwards compatible.

So um, who is Omoikane? Your friend?

"I was engineered to interface with supercomputers. Omoikane is the computer I've been working with for the past 11 years."

Engineered? Like genetic engineering? ♪

"Yes. Exactly. Honestly, I'm closer to computers than people."

[She sighs a little bit]

Jeez, I didn't even know there were good-with-computers genes... humans are so weird sometimes. ♪

[if Ruri's sad about being closer to computers than people, Rin misses it.]

"No, its mental conditioning, thought processes and nanobot injections. The gene therapy was for enhanced intellect."

That sounds pretty intense! ♪

"I really, don't remember it at all."

Hmm, I guess you wouldn't... ♪

"But, let me know when you want to do the backup. I'll make sure nothing goes wrong."

I will! ♪ Thanks, Ruri-chan!
