    *You walk into a quiet breakroom or waiting area and find a stranger (Myste) furiously tapping the side of his helmet. His face is currently displaying a loading bar that is stuck at 99%. He notices you watching him struggle with his own face.

    Myste freezes, one hand still hovering over his ear. The loading bar on his mask blinks rapidly before abruptly switching to a pixelated, nervous sweat-drop emoji.*

    "Nothing to see here,"

    he says, his voice muffled slightly by the hardware.

    "Just updating my personality drivers. I think I’m stuck on 'charming wit'—it’s a big file. Mind giving me a solid thump on the back if I freeze up completely?"
