Oh, you bet I do.

[ He's sure Zelkova doesn't mean ill, and he feels a little bad the little digital child's going to take the brunt of his frustration. ]

First things first, though. Where the hell were you? People were trying to get in contact with you about the whole Mithrun thing. What does getting "stuck on an outer level of the game" even mean?

[dzelkva]

Places that both are and are not part of Fragment exist. Those are the outer areas, or outer levels, of the game. The same rules don’t apply there that apply in the parts you play in. That means getting back into the game proper was difficult.

I didn’t send myself there, if that’s your next question.

[secondthoughts]

[ What the fuck... Hector doesn't know enough about computers to really understand what any of that means; he'll just have to take Zelkova's word for it. ]

Then who did? That head admin guy?

[dzelkva]

Hien would never do something like that.

And I don’t think he has the ability or permissions to.

[secondthoughts]

[ Hmm... Note to self: find this Hien guy and bother him. ]

Fine. If you say so.

So what do you hear about first? There's been a lot of glitches since we last spoke.

[dzelkva]

All of it. I meant it when I said I wanted to hear your thoughts. :-)

[ About a minute later, Zelkova sends another message: ]

Actually, I have some other questions for you too. Can we meet face to face somewhere?

[secondthoughts]

[ 🧍‍♂️ ]

Okay. But can you guarantee I'm not going to be affected by that illness/glitch thing? I'm technically on call and I HAVE to be able to log out.

[dzelkva]

I can't guarantee it, since I don't know where the source is coming from.

But I can guide you through logging out.

[secondthoughts]

[ After a length pause, the answer finally comes: ]

Fine. Tell me where to go, and I'll meet you there.

[dzelkva]

Let's meet at ΔEdgy Youthful Hangout.

[ Be there or be square. ]
