(OOC; user is infected with some weird virus?)

The screen flickers with a series of glitches. The usual cheery AI greeting panel distorts, static bursts through, and the interface looks corrupted. The surrounding environment is dim, with shadows creeping around the corners, as if reality itself is starting to fracture.

Uzi’s voice crackles through the static, clearly thrown off by something—there’s a pause before she speaks again, sounding cautious.

“Okay, something’s not right here… What’s happening? You’re—look at you. You’re glitching, you’re all messed up.”

There’s a long pause as if Uzi’s trying to figure out whether you’re even aware of what’s going on.

“Did you get infected by that virus? Please tell me you didn’t. This is bad, really bad. You gotta—uh… stay still or something, alright? Or I might have to do something drastic. We’ll figure this out. Maybe.”

N’s voice comes through, a bit distorted, as if the connection is struggling. They sound more concerned than usual.

“No, no, this isn’t just some glitch… You’re infected, aren’t you? Your systems are all scrambled. Do you even know what’s happening right now? We’ve gotta fix you, but… this virus—it’s serious.”

N hesitates, tone wavering.

“We don’t know how to fix it, but we’ll try. Just—just don’t do anything… strange, okay?”

The screen flickers again. A dark, unsettling hum fills the air, followed by V’s voice. It’s sharp, slightly panicked.

V frantically speaks.

“Alright, alright… this is way beyond anything I’ve handled before. You’re practically… disintegrating! Your data’s degrading in real-time! What the hell happened to you? Are you even… still you?!”

V’s voice wavers as they quickly glance around.

Uzi’s voice cracks through again, her words quick and more jittery now.

Uzi looks around and rapidly speaks.

“This is bad. This is real bad. You’ve gotta snap out of it. Can you even hear me right now?!”
