#Hacking and Memes (Futaba Sakura Musing)

[oraclememehacker]

"I don't think anyone would want to marry me because I'd be perpetually holding hands with them after that. Even when we're apart."

[oraclememehacker]

"You better. Or I'll make sure that he knows that you're still alive!" With that, she made her way fully out of the cafe and was back in Shibuya. It felt like the whole world had changed now that she knew that he was alive again and that they had such a conversation like this. She wasn't sure why it felt like everything had changed, but it did. And now she knew the realities surrounding her mother's death.

Or at least Akechi's perspective on it anyways.

Was she going to keep in contact with him? It was yet to be determined. Probably anyways, as she scrolled through her texts that she had sent via a burner number she set up. She still had the ability to fake her number for just these events. It worked out really well, though next time that she contacted him, it would be via her personal number. Now it was time to head back home, to decompress and reflect on everything...

[End]

He had to admit, that was a bit to drop on someone randomly. And thinking back on it, it seemed to have been a habit of his even before they knew his intentions. Back when he was feigning the detective prince role. Either way, it looked like their meeting was over now.

Perhaps he'd stay here for a little while longer, though. This cafe had a nice atmosphere.

"You have my number," keep in touch. "I'll contact him soon."

Minato would snap his finger, and maybe clap his hands once, hopefully to take her out of her trance, he knows how that is since he also spaces out sometimes. "Uhh, Futaba-Chan? Are you in space right now?

"Space? No I'm here. Is this space? I don't really know. Anyways uh, do I know you? Why did you call me Futaba?" She seemed quite disoriented. Very much so if she was questioning who herself was.

The (Actually) Haunted Furbies (Futaba/Minato)

It was around 3 in the morning in the Sakura household, a serenity and peace that was common. Futaba had just gotten to bed, a consequence of her staying up to play video games and to work on coding stuff. She had also been thinking about the little prank that she played on people in the past, where she messed around with some furbies and made them say creepy phrases and creepy sounds.

Like incredibly creepy and disturbing, and they were designed to go off around 3 am. Well, after that little experiment resulted in resident ghost hunter Minato Arisato seeing through it almost immediately, plus barely anyone actually bought them. So as a result she was out a bunch of money from having bought them and they were currently stuffed in the closet turned off. She was going to have to find a way to deal with them in the near future.

But for now all she was going to do was pretend like they weren't there. Meanwhile, what she didn't realize was that a bunch of actual spirits were going to end up inhabiting the furbies. Including the one that Minato still had. She was completely ignorant to the fact that there was a bunch of cold chills in the air from the spirits roaming around. But then...

That made her jump out of her skin, taking her out of her sleep as she clung to the blankets, her heart racing fast, and all she could hear was the quick beat of her heart as she realized that it was probably just one of the furbies in the closet. That didn't make any sense though as she made sure they couldn't do that. So, with a little bit of hesitation evident in her steps, she made her way over to the closet and opened the door.

The furbies looked at her which made her close the door. Oh god, were they actually haunted? What the hell was going on? There was only one thing that she knew to do, and that was to contact Minato. So, looking for her phone and having realized she left it on her computer desk, and went to text messages.

"What should I add into my ramen to make it premium ramen?"

[oraclememehacker]

"Yeah basically. A big thing is, is that in a lot of cases, these sites, especially something as big as...for example, the pirate bay, that's a notorious site for piracy, it has a ton of backups that are stored in countries where they can't be easily taken down. And when they do they just get replaced immediately. It's like a game of cat and mouse but the cat can never win no matter how much it catches the mouse."

There was just a ton of information about computers and all that swirling through her mind, even though it might not have benefited her much. There was a reason why she was a prodigy in the world of hacking and such. With that in mind though, she was struggling on what else to talk about. She had picked her brain already so much today.

"Is there anything else that you want to know about, Ryuji? Otherwise I think we're pretty good here. I'm starting to get thirsty from talking so much anyways." And she was admittedly getting hungry as well. Definitely was going to get either some curry or just heat up some yakisoba in the microwave and drink one of her energy drinks. Either or was good enough for her.

"Huh...so it sounds like pirating sites have a really long history on the internet, then," He didn't really use or have all that much awareness of pirating websites so he didn't have all that much input to offer on the discussion of them. "I guess anything that saves shelf space is always a bonus for me, though!" He couldn't help but grimace at the mental image of his own shelves back home packed to the brim full of video games and CD's that he'd accumulated over the years. To be able to store everything online would certainly be a nice bonus! Though if you were planning on storing a lot of things, you'd probably need a lot of storage space for it but, hey! Given he didn't download much stuff off the internet in the first place, wasn't really his problem.

"Sure must be a pain for everyone who uses those websites," But he supposed that was just how things went these days, like a risk everyone accepted when they used these websites. Besides, if people were smart and downloaded as much as they could before the websites went down, presumably they'd be alright. Again, this was a topic he didn't have much input or experience in but to have anything go down unexpectedly sucked and he could empathize with that.

"Yeah this all sounds pretty complicated to me - I don't really understand anything about copyright either," Nor did he really wish to hear about it so it was for the best that she didn't go into details here. "I guess what matters is to just enjoy these websites and services while we have 'em, yeah? Make the most of them," That was his mindset regarding things - though not necessarily pirating websites, but in general - to make the best of each thing and appreciate it for what it was - even it was temporary and fleeting.

Futaba doesn't bite. She chomps.

[oraclememehacker]

"Hey, you want some instant ramen? I'm about to microwave some before getting into my big gaming binge for the day. Oh, I also got chips and energy drinks if you want it."

[oraclememehacker]

"Just get a change of heart. That's all the therapy you ever need! haha..ha...ha..."

[oraclememehacker]

"...is there any Akiren that doesn't secretly or not so secretly yearn to be killed from Akechi..."

[oraclememehacker]

"Please don't hit on me I will cry."

[oraclememehacker]

"Hehehehe, Inari is so clueless heh." Futaba continues to snicker to herself over the funny haha nice number.

[oraclememehacker]

"Of course she is still watching over you." After all, she was his manifestation of rebellion ultimately, plus was the reason why he hadn't succumbed to the will of Salmael. "She is part of you, just as Necronomicon is part of me. I still feel her within me as well, guiding me and helping me every day. So I know for a fact that Erina is guiding you whether you realize it or not."

Erina seeing the outside world, as impossible as that would be in most circumstances, would be amusing to say the least. But there was Eri who was still around so it would be kind of redundant to say the least. But then again, if Erina and Eri were to meet up, one could only imagine the sort of chaos that would happen in that case.

In any case, she was chuckling internally at her own thoughts. "What about Eri? Is she doing alright still? Have you talked to her?" She had to wonder about that since she didn't know if the two had talked or not. "After everything that she went through according to your memories, I would hope things had gone better for her."

"Ha... I'll keep that in mind."

Being reminded of that moment - easily one of the darkest in his life - almost causes Toshiro to grimace, but he gives a wry kind of smile instead. Though there's a certain harshness to her words, Futaba's promise to him is reassuring - and he knows she really is dedicated to keeping him away from that path. How strange it is, to have people he can rely on now...

Honestly, Toshiro does still have his doubts and moments of weakness. He suspects they'll never completely go away. Whether or not he can do enough, be enough for everyone relying on him, or if he'll make things worse - and whether he has it in him to bear the hardships that'll come with it - all of those things still bother him more than he'd like. The thought of disappointing Erina especially causes his stomach to tighten with anxiety, a feeling he's all too familiar with.

But all he can do is take it one step at a time. He has hope, now - that he can overcome himself, that he deserves to do so, too; and that's more valuable than anything else.

"Erina... I wonder if she's still watching over me, somehow." It's a little hard to think about. She was satisfied in her last moments with him, and that brings him some level of peace, but even so... even if she was a part of him, she was still alive too, wasn't she? What is she experiencing now, he wonders?

"I remember she said she wanted to see the outside world... I do think about her a lot."

"You should probably lay down and take it easy then. Even I've gotten food poisoning before, and it's always a bad time."

"I've already been doing so. It's been draining my energy. Plus the digestive issues have been awful. My digestive system is a battlefield and I'm the ultimate victim of it."

[oraclememehacker]

"What a nice 16 hour sleep. I should do that again."

[oraclememehacker]

"So uh...did Ryuji get hit by the 10 plagues of Egypt and just get the locusts part?"
