[ No, Hermann has no idea that he's posted an application to the network. No, he has no idea what he ended up coding while tinkering with a beta version of Mahjong.

However, if anyone is actually stupid (or confused) enough to download it, a phone approximation of the following (beginning at 11:39) will occur:

"[Vinesauce] Joel - Windows 10 Destruction" (Watch on YouTube)

Given the lack of an internet browser, approximate text one never input into text windows, etc. However, there is the nyan cat, the product of confusion and attempting to draw tiles in a paint program. And don't worry -- reboot, and it's all back to normal. Until then?

[ooc: 1) this is obviously completely optional oh my god 2) to be extra clear if you choose to get a virus it will self-terminate or whatever after a reboot NO PERMANENT DAMAGE 3) anyone tracking the community definitely didn't see anything when someone who isn't me hit enter ok bye ]

[Let me tell you a joke.

Let me tell you a joke about a skeleton who has recently sent unintended messages to two people whom he's fairly sure never want to speak to him again.

Let me tell you a joke about a skeleton who watched the virus unfurl across his phone with listless acceptance, until at last the pixellated cat dances merrily across his screen, referencing some kind of memetic joke he's not in on, sent from someone who he knows must be fuming over it hilariously while his boyfriend mocks him relentlessly with a shit-eating grin he can very well visualize.

Let me tell you a joke about a skeleton who set the phone down, facedown, with a quiet click without bothering to reboot it, thus rendering it inoperable for the remainder of the event as he turns over, on Frisk and Chara's couch to shut his eyesockets and sleep as if he hasn't been doing little else for the past few days.

Let me tell you a joke.

Have you gotten the punchline yet?]

[verinumeri]

[ By now, he's realized.

As in, by right now. He attempted to open the game and his phone spiraled out of control. Hermann gapes, reminded of Miss Rage's tampering, but no, he did this. ]

What the --

[ Muttered, and he hasn't realized it wound up on the network, so when Newton falls off the couch he looks down at him, baffled and impatient, snapping with frustration. ]

What?

[and in answer Newt's just gonna toss his phone at Hermann, which is now playing nyan cat very loudly] Good job breaking the network.

[ With some fumbling, he manages to catch Newton's phone.

Now, Hermann looks between their phones, the same image moving. Was that what he'd been drawing? No, but if Newton had it, and he said the network, the --

Now, the blood drains from Hermann's face.

Now, Hermann utters, in absolute horror: ]

Cor blimey. Scheibenkleister.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Sometime after this entire debacle and realizing his phone is just fine after a reboot, therefore making this whole thing actually pretty funny--]

Dude, I thought we were cool, and now you've gone and Nyancat'd me. What's next, a Rickroll?

[Please say yes. He would so use it to then Rickroll everyone else.]

[verinumeri]

[ Thing is, Mr. Chris is the first person to respond to what he can't delete, and he's both mortified and defensive, which is a Very Bad combination for Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. And to think, they had been 'cool'.

So he barely reads it before responding, ]

I didn't intend to do it! It sholud be gone if you're able to send this! Of course nott!

[ yes, with the typos, but - ]

[verinumeri]

[ Wait.

Rereading.

Is -- is that -- tone's a challenge -- ]

Are you being facetious, Mr. Chris?

[verinumeri]

[ He literally inputs We are still cool? before deleting it.

The adjective matters less than the sentiment. Cool is Newton's fixation. Hermann is a comfortable nerd. ]

[verinumeri]

The act of 'rickrolling' would be much easier to implement than recording a passable substitute for the video.

Unless you are volunteering to play Mr. Astley. We mustn't let Newton do it. His voice is terrible.

[ Very Serious except also, given the subject matter, having marginally relaxed. ]

[text] OH HERMANN

[thechoiceisyours]

[Okay that was great and he's glad Hermann didn't take him too seriously.]

Me? Facetious? Never. Besides that would kind of require, you know, the situation being more serious than memes. Not that memes aren't serious.

[Because they're so very, very serious.]

I dunno, I don't think I could pull off the dance moves. Though maybe we should just put together something vaguely reminiscent and then just make that a Hadriel-specific version of Rickrolling.

the coolest (nyan)cat

[verinumeri]

Possibly bricking the phones would qualify, I think. That averted, I am a little appalled I remembered the cat so well, if subconsciously.

[ Drat Miss Confusion for outing him as someone who had been a young adult with a computer and actually aware of memes in 2007 and 2011. Well, he'd been eighteen in 2007, if in Germany. He's only human. ]

Our own version? Vaguely reminiscent could cover a wide range. Would we compose a unique song for it?

[ Newton is the musician, but he can already imagine, and why is he playing along except he's so relieved it was transient -- ]

We're all stuck in this cave / You hate the gods and so do I* ?

*I do not, however that seems to be the consensus.

so very cool

[thechoiceisyours]

If they were actually bricked there's be no time for facetiousness, just crying.

[He's joking, but only a little. That would be super serious and not just in an addicted to technology kind of way.]

Nyancat's pretty memorable. Though I dunno I probably would've gone with Robot Unicorns and Erasure.

[And okay, he is so not expecting fake lyrics and now he's imagining it and it actually makes him laugh enough that there's a short delay before he replies.

You're totally onto something with that. We could so do it.

[So, there's this thing posted to the network? And all the stuff that Gren's seen posted to the network like this, in a little link that you can download it, have been either informational pamphlets or games.]

[He figures this has to be something like that. Maybe it'll even be something more helpful than fucking Ms. Pac-Man.]

[What Gren gets is a series of fuckery all over his phone screen and a mighty reinforcement of his deep-seated mistrust of technology. He doesn't even know what the fuck Nyancat is, but when it comes up on his screen in all its rainbow-shitting glory, he knows that he hates it. He hates it and all that it stands for.]

[For a while, the technological trash can fire that is Gren's phone is Rhys' problem.]

That is uncalled for. Please direct your complaints to Miss Confusion.

youre lucky i aint directin my foot up your sweater vest wearin ass

action; wherever... he is... look she's basically glued to newt so hermann by extension ok

[hasitsthorns]

So I see you're into memez now.

[ Yes, with a 'z' because, really, go big or go home. ]

Didn't picture you as a Nyan Cat dude though, gotta' say. Maybe like... Courage Wolf?

[ They sometimes look the same when he's 'angry' at Newt but she'd never, ever say that to Hermann('s face). ]

action; brilliant NEWTON'S PROBABLY THERE TOO LBR (at the lab)

[verinumeri]

[ Hermann glances up from his phone screen, the initial streaks of embarrassment and frustration gradually displaced by befuddled interest. The program had wiped itself from his phone as well, taking most of his work on Mahjong with it (though of course he has backups on that iPad).

Naturally, he scowls, huffing. ]

I'm not. Into memes or particularly interested in either of those.

[ No point (or interest, really) in pretending he doesn't know what either are, particularly (and obviously) nyan cat.

And it has been a very long time since he was last amused by one. (Even if Courage Wolf was fine.) ]

action; also it's your fault i'm now listening to nyan cat

[hasitsthorns]

What! [ Blasphemy, Hermann. ] Courage Wolf is awesome. Nyan Cat is okay...

[ The music gets on her nerves. It isn't even really music, but that seems a bit... snobbish. ]

Personally, I always felt like Awkward Penguin was my spirit animal. What about you? Meme you most relate to, go.

i'm going to delete this comment plz

[verinumeri]

and

action; good now move on to robot unicorn

[verinumeri]

[ Whatever his surprisingly complicated relationship with memes may be, Hermann sincerely struggles to understand why Courage Wolf would be awesome, but Nyan Cat okay.

The standards or metrics Miss Rosalina applies escapes him.

Then she puts him on the spot. ]

I'm not -- I don't, relate to? I enjoyed Spiders Georg?
