AC: That was a jape, I am doing as I normally would. aka, alright. :3

AC: I have a mystery for us to ponder. Something that may harken directly out of the supernatural!
AC: I thought it might interest a savvy person such as yourself.

AC: I am, grammatically and stylistically, quite a mess!
AC: But the mystery I have to offer is not of the vernacular variety.
AC: Rather, it is something that happened to me recently.
AC: Something quite strange!

AC: Recently, my little city experienced a power outage.
AC: I had my laptop open at the time, and it was running on its internal energy supply.
AC: Just when it was about to shut down though,
AC: I received a message through pesterchum!
AC: WAKE UP.

AC: All I know was that it was written in a generically dark color.
AC: And that the message erased itself from my logs.

NC: aha!
NC: now that last bit, that right there's somethin!
NC: ive got some theories, two actually.
NC: one is that you just got bumped by a ghost, which is majorly scary.
NC: two is that it was just a hacker or somethin.
NC: now i really want to believe the first one, because that sounds a hell lot cooler, but then it would mean that youre bein haunted.
NC: better me than you anyways, if thats true!

AC: Or some variation of a 'hacker' virus?
AC: Recall, the power had gone out, my system was running on internal juice alone.
AC: There was no internet available.

NC: hrm, alright, go with the first theory then.
NC: youve basically just dug your own haunted grave, my friend.
NC: but, if it happens to not be a wandering spirit with a sense of humour, then what do you think it is?
NC: really, with the info youve given me there can seem to be only one conclusion.

AC: That is most alarming indeed!

NC: well, im not really sure whether it was intended as a death threat, i mean, it would make more sense if whatever it was said GO DIE instead, right?
NC: i mean that youre gonna be stalked by a spirit.
NC: until the day you die, probably.
NC: or maybe its some sort of warnin, you know, like Matrix stuff.
NC: wake up from that dream reality system or whatever it was.
NC: but then compared to that my theory sounds a lot more believable, yeah?

AC: Do you know of any ways I could exorcise the spirit? Or perhaps allow it to communicate less cryptically? Although no doubt of great interest to philosophy, I was already awake when I received the message.
AC: Clearly it's message, if it was a message, indicated something beyond the literal meaning of its words. Something symbolic and abstract, if I were to guess.
AC: But without a basis to work with, any guess of mine would seem rather frivolous.
