Hello human (or non-human)! Just a few things to note before you begin reading: - Text that begins with ''AS:'' is Adrienne speaking/typing. - Text that does not begin with ''AS:'' is you speaking. - Words highlighted in blue are choices you can make. I hope you enjoy! [[Start reading!->INSTRUCTIONS]]

''AS:'' My name's Adrienne. [[Pretty name->Pretty name]] [[Okay->Okay]]

''AS:'' Really? ''AS:'' Wow! ''AS:'' I can't believe this worked! [[Can't believe //what// worked?->Can't believe what worked?]] [[Who is this?->Who is it?]]

''AS:'' Thanks! [[...->Okay]]

''AS:'' I can't believe this worked! [[Can't believe //what// worked?->Can't believe what worked?]]

''AS:'' This. ''AS:'' This messaging software. ''AS:'' James gave me the download link, but he didn't think it would work. ''AS:'' Apparently no-one's been able to get a response yet. [[How long have you been trying for?->How long have you been trying for?]]

''AS:'' Today? a couple hours. James gave me the download link on Monday, and it's Thursday now. I hadn't really tried before. I thought it wouldn't work. [[How come?->How come?]] [[Who's James?->Who's James?]]

''AS:'' I dunno. Just seemed like there wasn't much chance of it working. [[...->Okay.]]

''AS:'' A friend from school. [[Riiiiiiiight. A //friend// ;) ->Right a friend wink]] [[Okay->Okay.]]

''AS:'' He's just a friend! [[...->Okay.]]

''AS:'' ... ''AS:'' So, how's it been going for you? [[Pretty good.->Pretty good.]] [[Average->Average]] [[Kinda bad, actually.->Kinda bad, actually.]]

''AS:'' That's good. [[:)->Smiley]]

''AS:'' Yeah, same. [[...->Smiley]]

''AS:'' That's no good! ''AS:'' How come? [[It's complicated.->It's kinda complicated.]]

''AS:'' Oh. ''AS:'' Sorry for not introducing myself. ''AS:'' My name's ''Adrienne''. [[Okay.->Okay]]

''AS:'' Hey, have you heard about that weird virus that's going around? [[Yeah, I think so.->Yeah, I think so.]] [[No.->No.]]

''AS:'' Okay. I hope everything improves soon! [[Thanks :)->Smiley]]

''AS:'' Suuuuuper creepy, right? [[Yeah.->Virus info.]]

''AS:'' Seriously? It's been //all// over the news lately [[Hmm->Virus info.]]

''AS:'' It, like, hacks into someone's computer or whatever, ''AS:'' And then slowly steals all their info, bit by bit. ''AS:'' Until it has a complete copy of all of their personal information. ''AS:'' And then... [[Then what?->Then what?]]

''AS:'' It //becomes// them. ''AS:'' Or their online presence, at least. ''AS:'' It talks to the person's friends online, ''AS:'' And eventually hacks them as well. [[Seriously?->Seriously?]]

''AS:'' Yup. ''AS:'' That's kinda all that's known about it, though. ''AS:'' And nobody knows exactly //where// it originated. ''AS:'' Eva reckons it was some sort of secret government experiament with artificial intelligence. [[AI? Yeah, right. As if. That's a stupid theory.->AI? Yeah right.]] [[Huh. I hadn't thought of that one. Not very likely, but still kinda cool.->Huh. I hadn't thought of that one.]]

''AS:'' Yeah, it's pretty unlikely, I guess. ''AS:'' But still. [[Hm. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree->Agree to disagree]]

''AS:'' I know, right? [[...->Agree to disagree]]
