[Twelfth Canon] : [Accidental Video]

[trapsound]

[Ritsu is completely unaware that his comm has not only turned on, it's turned on to the rarely used video function, though his back is mostly turned towards it. He's got a plain green shirt with 3/4ths sleeves on, but half of it has been partially pulled over his head in order to have his arm out. His panel is up and he seems to be muttering while pressing buttons on it.]

Bloody Data freeze screwing with my systems... can't a robot have a week without something going wrong... that's not right... [huff] No, no. That's not it either...

[This continues on, Ritsu so wrapped up in what he's doing he just doesn't notice that he's being recorded.]

Um.... hey, do you need any help with that?

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[that yelp? Is the sound of Ritsu suddenly realizing he's being watched. Give him a minute, he's looking for something to cover his exposed chest up with]

U-uhm...

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

*Rock eeps at the yelp and covers his eyes since it seemed like he wasn't suppose to see what he did*

I- I'm sorry! It's just- the comm and- you were having trouble... *oh jeez*

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[huff] These things have the worst timing...

It's... it's alright. Not like it's really a secret anymore.. My internal clock some how reset itself and I can't seem to get it to go back. I'm pretty sure the date isn't 00/00/00.

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah...

Okay. *Though he's still not going to look at the screen now* Hmmm, will it not change at all or does it go back every time you fix it?

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[don't worry, he's got his shirt back down, though he hasn't bothered putting his padding back in]

It keeps giving me an error... [sigh] I really don't want to bother Yowane-san about this...

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

*That would only add confusion to Rock's awkwardness, but he is chancing a peek, not look as embarrassed now that Ritsu has a shirt on*

Maybe another problem is using the clock so it can't be changed right now. What kind of error?

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[If they ever run in to each other outside somewhere, he's likely to be very confused, since Ritsu rarely goes out without being completely put together so to speak.]

... that sounds like a Windows operating system error. [looks again] "Cannot be changed at this moment. Please try again later."

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

*Rock would probably think he was someone else*

Never heard of that one before. *thoughtful look*

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[which would be amusing, if nothing else]

Yowane-san has been working on replacing systems that were... damaged a while back. It's possible this one is still damaged and being data frozen caused it to glitch.

That's... mildly irritating.

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

Since it was being frozen that set the problem off, it's the most likely cause. Though I didn't know it could do something like that, even to something that's already damaged. But you should have it looked at if that's the case; troubleshooting might only make it worse.

Ah, sorry I wasn't any real help.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Eh... it's perfectly alright. You tried, if nothing else. This is an on going problem, so I'm frankly not surprised something went wrong again.

I just consider myself lucky to still be functioning after what happened...

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to pry or anything, but can I ask what happened?

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[long, uncertain silence]

I was put under the control of a person known as Doctor Finitevus. He forced me to fight my sister, who is demon sealed by Wrath.

Refusing to fight and trying to break his hold on me only resulted in completely frying my systems. That on top of the damage I sustained from Teto... you can imagine just how broken I was after it was all over.

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

I'm- I'm sorry. Fighting family is one of the worse things to have to experience.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

[quietly]

I suppose I deserve it, in some sense...

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

But- no one deserves that. And you seem nice. *even though he's barely talked to him*

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I... I wanted to help her... but I went about it all wrong. I did it on my own, refusing anyone's help. Finitevus found me at my worst moment, completely at a loss for what to do and offered me his assistance.

But he did so at a price. I had to give him information about my kind of android and the ones we came from. I knew it was a terrible idea, but... I was desperate and did it anyway.

I betrayed my family just to help one of them. If that doesn't deserve punishment, I don't know what does.

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

People make mistakes. You were trying to help and it.... it got out of control. I don't think you should be punished for that, especially since you understand the mistakes you made and know not to make the same ones again.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I do... and Lance-san said the same thing...

I suppose I can't shake this feeling of guilt that's settled on me since it happened... people got hurt because of what I did.

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

I know how that is. If it helps any, the guilt lessens over time if you let it.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I would like to believe that... maybe I'm just too young to understand how this could hurt any less...

[upgradedtohero.livejournal.com]

Maybe. It's been a while since I've had to deal with it. I hope it gets better for you.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

What a vocaloid in trouble?! Da da da daaaaah!

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

May I be of assistance?

Super Kats to the rescue!

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I seem to be having an issue with the date and time on my systems... Yowane-san was still making adjustments to me before we were frozen.

Here he comes to save the daaaaaaay

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, well I wouldn't want to trod on Haku's toes if she's still working on it...but if there's anything I can do to help I'd be happy to come over and take a look.

*Snicker* I thought we just did.

TA Mind your manners.

at least he's not coming to wreck the day xD

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Well... I'd rather not bother her if at all possible... I'm sure there's just a chip in here somewhere that glitched during the freeze...

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

Very well, I'll be over shortly then and hopefully we can get this figured out. Small glitches like this are usually easy enough with the proper equipment.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Alright. Thank you.

[is just going to sit there and wait. He doesn't want to screw anything else up]
