[ And we're live. The Technical Boy is seated on his bed in his room, communicator in one hand and the newest uPhone in the other, distractedly playing one of those mindnumbing mobile games. Every once in a while, the sound effects chirp, chime and serve as background music. His room's been redecorated in geometric decor and a roomba goes zooming by on the floor. ]

24.45 hours studying this network. And I'm bored.

[ Implied: You're boring. ]

You guys are practically gods. Granted, that's a lowercase G. But still. Your power here goes unmatched and all you can do is sit around talking about restaurant recommendations and dating sims? How about we have some real talk.

[ His thumb blurs over the screen of his uPhone, taking just a minute to beat the level with an air of superiority. Everyone can wait for him to make his proposal because he's definitely more important. And once the victory fanfare sounds, he tosses the phone to the side -- for the first time giving his full attention to the camera. ]

You're the old models. The old generation of imPorts who are just waiting to be made anew. So here's where I come in.

[ A beat. A smirk. A drag off of his vape pen. ]

Let's talk Upgrades.

Less talk, more handing them out.

[twatter]

Could be arranged, but I have to know what I'm working with first.

Video

[craftpunk]

They're boring aren't they? [ A beat. ] I don't know if they really deserve what you're offering.

Video

[twatter]

They don't. But I'll offer it anyway. Out of boredom.

[ Not like he doesn't get way more out of the arrangement. ]

[ this bitch is on a throne of bones and animal flowers, as she loves to be. ]

"Practically?" Try again.

[twatter]

[ So classy, Persephone! But a quick glance at the username, and Technical Boy knows all he needs to know. ]

Ah. You. I heard about you. One of the only few actual gods around here.

[ Lowercase G. It's practically reiterated in his smile. ]

[songwrite]

Wait, upgrades to what?

video.

[twatter]

To a new, better you.

[poreiavian]

Objection! Restaurant recommendations are very important information, and dating sims are educational.

video

[twatter]

How exactly are they educational?

[slightlyoffchilt]

So you have played this dating simulation game?

[twatter]

I dabbled. So did you. So did most.

Video

[namesaquestion]

Old?

[He scoffs, scowl set on his face.]

What do you mean old?

Video

[twatter]

Exactly what I said. You're definitely not new.

Video

[liverletdie]

Upgrades, huh?

Why bother upgrading us? We've already had them, when we show up.

Video

[twatter]

Really?

[ Technical Boy's brows raise because yes. He knows who this fucking guy is. ]

This coming from you? CEO of StarkTech, man of many upgrades, imPort who created the whole metahuman thing? Come on. You of all people know that technology has to be constantly evolving. ImPorts are the same.

[wearmyface]

What kind of upgrades?

[twatter]

Technology is my wheelhouse. Anything, everything tech related I can enhance.

[video]

[ghoulking]

I can't wait to see how this will go.

[ this will go so well, specially after some crazy scientists tried to clone them and make an army out of them, and are possibly planning on making "better versions of imPorts".

Ah, upgrades ]

[video]

[twatter]

[ Sounds like the sort of group he can work with! ]

So far, so good. [ He flashes an asshole grin. More people than not seem to be interested. It's promising. ]

[fehus]

Having more power doesn't make people more interesting.

video

[twatter]

What? Are you going to try and tell me 'it's all about personality.' Having more power is the only thing that makes people more interesting. Look at the celebrities.

priv text ooohh

[knaval]

what kind of ugrades

priv text /wiggles fingers

[twatter]

what sort are you interested in? when it comes to technology, my powers are limitless.

[ A bit of a lie right now. But....it won't be. When he earns followers. ]

[neverdied]

Nothing wrong with the old model if it stills works. [Says a really, really old model.]

[twatter]

[ Ugh. U g h. Look at this man. ]

Uh. Yeah, dude. There is. You can't even be compared to a classic car. More like some junky old rust bucket.

much recursion wow

[twatter]

yet here you are commenting
seems like boredom meets boredom

[lasersounds]

Well someone sure sounds like a douche.

Not the best first impression, dude.

[twatter]

I'm not seeking validation or popularity. Only results.

[doubleblind]

If you're bored after a day, you're going to have a really tough time here...

But, sure, I'll ask too. What kind of upgrades are you specifically thinking about?

[twatter]

I'll find ways to deal with it.

[ It's not like Technical Boy isn't in a state of constant boredom half the time anyway. ]

But I'm talking technological upgrades. Anywhere from boosting followers online to maybe even physical enhancements. I mean. We are all full of those nanites now, aren't we?

[ this bitch has a vape pen. mickey's already written him off a hipster trash before he starts talking about human experimentation and crap.

at least, what he assumes is human experimentation, because how else do you upgrade people?? ]

Yeah, okay, that ain't creepy as fuck or anything.

video;

[twatter]

[ Hipster trash is definitely the most accurate description! ]

No more creepy than buying a new phone or upgrading old software.

[picksthenames]

[ Having scoped out his responses to other people, Cisco doesn't seem impressed. ]

Saying you can increase our Bwitter followers doesn't exactly sell your point.

[twatter]

If you think that's all I can do, you're sorely mistaken.
