NC: dude, there are tons of ways to exorcise ghosts.
NC: plus, youd need to know what kind of ghost it is in the first place, too!
NC: ive never heard of one that hijacked a chat client, but theres probably one out there somewhere.
NC: what id recommend is to get some bamboo, douse it in water, and shake it at your computer.
NC: or, i could somehow send you a jatukam, which is like a keep-away-bad-spirits talisman round here.
NC: but im more worried about how youre gonna fare when night comes.
NC: and unless you really are in the Matrix or are asleep in some parallel universe, then i really just think that its a random message.
NC: probably.
NC: im nervously drinkin milk and lookin round my room here, thanks a lot.

AC: I'm afraid I have no idea what a jatukam is, would a google search help me in this regard?
AC: Do not worry yourself on my account, it has actually been about a week since the message appeared, nothing atypically untoward has happened in the interim.
AC: You can put away that refreshing dairy beverage now.
AC: You know how jealous I get about your lactose tolerance.

NC: nah, it has to be real, genuine bamboo.
NC: meanin uncooked!
NC: but good try. anyways, if it has already been a week, then i guess you dont really need to worry about anythin, includin what a jatukam is.
NC: heh, if i could see you i would be flauntin this glass in your face like im doin to the screen now.
NC: crap i spil ed s me n he kys brb
NC: ah, now this has turned pretty borin, seein as nothin is ever gonna happen, but good for you i guess.

AC: If existential is indeed the right school of philosophy I am thinking of, perhaps I am looking for nihilistic.
AC: Or just, what is it, 'bad of life'? World-weariness?
AC: Are you feeling alright NC?

NC: call me Pete, please, NC just sounds kinda ridiculous.
NC: and i understood none of what you just said except for 'world-weariness'.
NC: and yeah, i guess that might be the case.
NC: everythin's the same old same old, everyday, and while peace isnt necessarily a bad thing, routine is, at least a bit.
NC: not that i want anythin extremely life-changin to happen, but just a little surprise scenario every now and then wouldnt hurt.

AC: You may call me King!
AC: ;3
AC: Haha, that sounds a little pompous. But I have been reliably informed that it is indeed a name that sees use, even in America.
AC: Well, I am not certain to what degree you enjoy video games, but MP mentioned an interesting one to me while I was in the midst of my convalescence.
AC: Perhaps you would like to give it a try? I hear its mechanics are fantastically unlikely. Capable of rewriting reality itself!
AC: Probably hyperbole, of course.

NC: sure, i guess, if that really is your name. hrm.
NC: pish, theres no game that could do somethin like that, whatever MP says.
NC: but.
NC: im always up for a good game, and since this one looks like it deserves that kinda exaggeration, then it might be worth playin.
NC: have you tried it out, K-man?

AC: Oh! Of course!
AC: Well King is a literal translation of my name so it is technically accurate.
AC: I have not played it, as far as I know it has not yet even seen a release yet.
AC: It goes by the name of SBURB though, if you wanted to give it an online gander.

NC: 555+, kiddin'.
NC: and oo, its still in the works is it? ill give it a Google.
NC: theres not much to go by, but from what i can see theres plenty of hype over it.
NC: makes me wanna get a pre-order edition or somethin.
NC: do you plan on playin it? just you know, so i can make sure to whop your ass if you do.
NC: im not gonna hide it man, football, soccer, isnt the only thing im good at.
NC: oh look its rainin.

AC: As to SBURB, I do plan on ordering it, if only to see what the fuss is all about. The internet is rife with speculation and as something so undeniably novel I find myself moved to purchase it without delay despite the expenditure.
AC: I am certain I would put up a fair challenge, if it does end up being multiplayer. ;3
AC: Bright skies here.

NC: if i ever attend your funeral though, i aint callin you that. i may not be American, but i at least have common sense, if you get my gist.
NC: crap, knock on wood right now if you have any. like, right now! sorry, i mentioned you dying, shouldnt have done that.
NC: hmm, i guess that if youre gonna get it, then i might as well hop in the bandwagon too, if only to see you flail and beg for mercy.
NC: 555

AC: I will assume it is one of your delightfully savvy counter-rituals to bad luck and so on.
AC: But as to that other matter: I do not 'flail' or 'beg'. If anything you will be the one weeping words of apology and deference to my overwhelming victory. ;3

NC: and hey, if somehow i manage to drop that low, ill buy you a plane ticket here so you can push me off a tall building.
NC: oh yeah, speakin of money, do you know how much this SBURB thing costs?
NC: im not the richest guy in the world you know, not even the richest guy in my neighbourhood.
NC: and a game with this much stuff goin for it has to have a fine price, like, equivalent exchange you know.

AC: And interrogated of MP, who had brought the game to my attention; however, despite its exceedingly cutting-edge gameplay and novel mechanics, it is apparently as cheap (or expensive, rather) as any other game.
AC: I had indicated that this would require operating at a loss, but apparently a baking empire is in charge of this venture?
AC: Your guess is as good as mine.
AC: However, if you are worried about cost you can always wait until its time passes and it has been tossed into the bargain bin.
AC: I doubt its popularity will last more than two or three years if that.

NC: wow, my opinion of it has really hit rock bottom now.
NC: ive heard of expansion, but the jump from cookies to controller isnt exactly one easily bridged, i guess.
NC: eh, nah, i'd rather get it and then spread the news to everyone else wantin to get it. warn them, you know.
NC: i really hope its multiplayer though, its a ton more fun that way. drag all my internet friends into playin it or somethin.
NC: and since you and i, K-man, are obviously competin, wed be on like, different teams or somethin, if that can happen.
