"They say you shouldn't give out much identifying information, but honestly, fuck it, at this point even I believe I'm a fiction piece." Michael runs their hands through their hair and is sitting in some library-- the stacks are behind them and they're just... They're masked up and they're sitting there and they look.

So tired.

"I just... I got so many messages from people asking how I did it, what special effects I used, the wig I wore--" They paused. "I even got a job offer in post production for the Industry. I might still take it. But, uh--"

"Like, on the one hand, I remember-- I remember the CG work, the model, the voice changer--" they paused. "and. on the other. I remember it actually happening. the sharp moment of pain, and discontinuity. Walking among... people I didn't even know existed."

"... am I just losing my grip?" They take a deep breath. "That's enough of that though I came to talk about my classes."

"So I'm in nerd school for nerds, I'm understanding calculus..." They sigh. "I... I should start this over."

Michael should know by now, though, that it's hard to get badgernet to get rid of content.

I mean, why not? The worst that happens is the browser crashes... which, to be fair, it kinda did.

Well, OK, if the browser doesn't have good memory overflow protection it might blue-screen your computer but a core dump will handle that.

But that kind of arbitrary code execution through URL directly was fixed ages ago.

Or it could cause another hiccup or something weird. Like this dumbass network already has really weird bugs.

Remind me to tell you about the time I spend several hours hunting for a two-step verification problem only to realize that because I had both automatically logged out and never actually logged out, my browser was not liking any of this.

... maybe i should change my preferred name...
