Journey Ever Re-Directed

(I know it's at 11k now, Shuttup. XD)

Kians POV

You know how sometimes when a computer gets overwhelmed it crashes? Well, since becoming a human, my systems haven't actually done that very often, yet it is still possible. Today for example.

Jeremy took me to Michael's with him for dinner with Michael's whole family. I thought it would be fun, so I accepted.

Turns out Michael's whole extended family from The Philippines where ALL there. They all spoke a little English, but were delighted when I spoke to them in their native language.

It's important to note that though my systems can speak any language out there, I myself as a system as more accustomed to speaking Japanese as a first language and English as a second. This is why when my systems start to crash or more changes begin to occur, I resort to speaking the manufacturer language given to me. And that language is Japanese.

Another note so it makes sense why this happened was I was looking up entertainment while Jeremy was getting ready to go to Michael's, so I was watching a YouTube video of sorts that would entertain me.

I can project videos through words, which is why I am really good at reciting memes. (Don't listen to Jeremy, he will tell you otherwise.)

So. While at Michael's, I am speaking a language my systems not accustomed to speaking for long periods of time. This causes the chip in my head that holds my consciousness to heat up a bit. And we all know what happens when a computer heats up and has no place to distribute that heat. It crashes.

And that's what happened.

In the middle of speaking with Michael's mother, I felt my chip suddenly halt. And I couldn't move.

I started to collapse and Michael's mother catches me and calls Jeremy over.

I found this out later going through my memory files trying to understand why my systems did a full crash.

Jeremy brings me to the couch in another room and lays me down.

"Kian?? Are you okay??" He said, shaking me.

With no response, he quickly moves to get Michael.

Michael comes with him holding a Mountain Dew. "This should help, poor guy..." he said, then carefully pours the drink into my mouth, and my systems boot up again.

Wanting to return to the last open file, my systems reboot before my consciousness, and the last video I was watching began to project.

"You okay buddy?" Michael asked.

"Meat."

"What?" Michael asked, chuckling a little.

"Eat meat."

Jeremy looked extremely puzzled.

"Meat meat."

"Oh shit he's possessed!" Michael jokes.

"Make meat meat....Eat meat and meat."

"What the fuck is going on..." Jeremy said.

"Meat and meat meat meat E." A weird noise erupts from the video.

"What THE fuck?? Are you hacked?" Jeremy shakes me.

"Make me Meat."

"KIAN."

"E A T M E."

"I'm calling your manufacturer!" He said, starting to look it up.

Finally I got my consciousness online and I took a deep breath, turning the video off completely. "NO DONT."

Jeremy looks up. "You good?!"

"Yes! I am better, I'm okay." I said.

"What the FUCK was that???" Jeremy said.

Michael was laughing so hard he fell into a beanbag holding his stomach.

"Michael this isn't funny! I thought my boyfriend got hacked!!"

This just makes Michael laugh harder. "IM- HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry! Ahahah! AHAHAHAHA!"

"Are you okay?? What happened??" Jeremy asked.

"Overloaded systems."

"What the fuck was that???"

"I had a YouTube video open..." I told him.

"You were reciting a YouTube video?"

"HE WAS POSSESSED BY THE MEME!" Michael laughs. "All hail our conduit of the meeeemmeee!" Michael laughs harder.

I chuckle. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. It just happened. Sometimes I overload my systems and it just tries to pull up whatever it was last doing when it boots up. I didn't mean to worry you."

"Well ya did!" Jeremy said, hugging me.

I hug back and chuckle. "We can return to the party. I'm sorry that I worried you."

Jeremy nods and we go back out into the main room.

This time I'm more conscious about my systems heat.
