Pretty sure a majority of this sideplot gig was just me ripping off Spark the Electric Jester. Weird formatting from Bullet Point that I never bothered fixing through reuploads.
Prog Intro!
• HELLO WORLD!
• I’M MR.PROG! I AM CURRENTLY ON A JOURNEY TO-
• *sigh.*
• Enough of that. I’m Mr. Prog. Recently, I was laid off my job.
• You might be thinking, “Mr. Prog’s have jobs?”
• Yes, and we get paid. But I was laid off. Not because I did bad or anything.
• I got replaced!
• Some new model program called a “Servbot” went and took my job!
• Now I’m going to have to use my lifespan savings to pay the rent!
• *siiiigh.*
• If there were Navi Cigarettes I’d be smoking one.
• But for now, drinking is what I’ll have to do.
• Anyways, that’s why I’m here.
• I went to a NetCafe to see if there were any job offers up (and to get something Extra). And there are a lot of Mr. Progs here too!
• This is a bit concerning. Is this the end for Mr.Prog job dominance on the net?
• Mr. Prog’s Big Adventure!
• Arc 1: The Sigma Saga
• Chapter 1: I get Banned from the NetCafe
• The Internet is an incredibly valuable place in society nowadays! Lately, everything is done on it. From transactions to schoolwork to even hospital information! But it’s not all done by humans alone. Internet Navigators (NetNavi’s) are used with Personal Terminals (PETs) to help lowly humans get their lives together! They’re pretty much the perfect partner who mostly do whatever the human wants them to! Some act as companions, guides, sometimes they are even used for battle! Those kind of people who make their Navi’s battle are Net Operators. Honestly, NetNavi’s deserve a lot better than they get for putting up with some humans. I’d know, since I’m a Prog. Progs get nothing since they’re just programs. We were made to serve humanity and NetNavis. Nothing more or less.
• Normally the only regulars at the NetCafe were NetNavi’s that could drink Coffee. But since the unemployment rate went up, there were a lot of Prog’s swarming the place.
• Where’s this Internet located?
• None of your business!
• I sat down at a booth and the waitress came over. She was an Orange Navi wearing a maid dress. She was kinda cute looking, for a Navi. Normally there are Mrs. Prog’s but it’s impossible to tell since almost all Prog’s look the same. Some Prog’s have started wearing Net Accessories, but not much.
• I had on a bandana I found with some Navi emblem on it. Don’t care who’s it was but as long as I don’t look like everyone else it’d be fine.
• The Navi emblem… I don’t know it. The bandana’s blue.
• “Cute bandana!” The waitress told me. Everyone always says Prog’s are cute. She handed me a menu.
• The things on our heads aren’t ears. They’re hands. I don’t know why I couldn’t just have the data downloaded into me but Prog’s usually aren’t made of as much bytes as me. Navi’s and NetOps would get suspicious but all I want is a normal quiet life.
• I held it in my hand and then put it down. The waitress didn’t seem to like that.
• “I’ll take a black coffee.” She looked confused at that.
• “Just black?” She asked with a smile.
• “Black. Like the Undernet gets. To go.” That was that. She walked away after putting the Bill down.
• My hard earned Zenny I got from working at SciLabs… this wasn’t enough to hamper it but sooner or later I’d need to find another job to make sure I could afford my home. Of course, some Prog’s just sleep out in the open net or live in a PET but I bought a small webpage so I could rest and store my stuff. If I didn’t pay it might get deleted.
• The waitress slammed the coffee down. She probably spit in it too.
• …I still don’t know how I should hold this. And I really don’t want to ask her for a straw…
• I got up carrying my coffee in one ear and walked over to get a straw at the stand. As I did, a Prog in the crowd started shouting for me by the Board.
• “HEY! OVER HERE COFFEE PROG!” Oh, a newer Prog model. Those ones can only speak in caps because of the Internet V4 patch.
• “HI!” Oh no, he came over. I just silently sipped my coffee.
• “DID YOU LOSE YOUR JOB TO A SERVBOT TOO? I CAN’T STAND THEM! I WISH THEY WERE NEVER MADE.” This Prog gets it, but there’s not really many others that are willing to voice their opinion.
• “I HATE THEM TOO!” “Yeah, me too!” “They didn’t even give us an email that we got kicked out, I just got locked out!” “I WISH SOMEONE WOULD DELETE THEM ALL.”
• “I don’t like them either, but it’s not like we can all revolt or something…”I mumbled.
“REVOLT? THAT’S A GREAT IDEA!”
• “Yeah! Revolt!”
• “REVOLT!” “REVOLT!” “REVOLT!”
• Uh oh.
• As the Prog’s voiced their discontent the same waitress came back.
• “Can I ask you and your entourage to leave? Please. You’re disturbing the Navi’s.” Her smile was definitely forced.
• Who cares about the Navi’s? This is a Prog Problem!
• Another Prog came up to the waitress and threw the rest of my drink at her.
• “…..I’m calling the NetPolice.”
• And that’s how I got banned from my favorite NetCafe.

• Serenade’s Blade has joined the chat. (Mod)
• Remember to keep in line with the new board censors! Nothing too graphic or overly detailed! Also, be on the lookout for the Black Shadow! He doesn’t show up too often, but there’s a chance he might pop up by teleporting to your exact location!

• ProgLover: My Prog is the best. None of yours can compare to him.
• Attached Image: A golden Mr. Prog in the Undernet. It’s hard to see where it is but there’s a grave in the background.
• Heel1: Better dig up that grave for him because My Mr.Prog is going to blow yours away!
• ProgLover: Wrong.
• Heel1 has logged off.
• Heel2: Hello?? Obviously my Prog is so much better than yours! She even has battle chips downloaded!
• ProgLover: Wrong.
• Heel2 has logged off.
• Heel3: How do Prog’s attack anyways? Do the chips just float in front of them? How would a Prog hold a Vulcan?
• Real Mr. Prog: Well, some of us come with modifications for that. But really, most Mr. Prog’s are made only to give out information for commented code. It’s why there’s so little data given from them. I’ve heard there’s a Prog that was made to carry a lot of info though. He can probably do all sorts of crazy stuff.
• Heel3: But that doesn’t tell me how they carry stuff. I did see a Prog in a Ninja Castle once, he was super cool! He had a katana and everything!
• …Maybe I should buy a katana…
• Heel4: >some of us
• What?
• ProgLover: Don’t make him repeat himself.
• Heel4 has logged off.
• Heel3: What the heck? Where’s everyone going?
• ProgLover: Don’t worry about it. Now… do you have a Prog?
• Heel3: Not yet. I was planning to order one from that Ninja Castle. But lately everything’s been getting clogged by Servbots! I mean, sure, they’re cute and they can do a lot more than Prog’s… but they’re certainly clumsy too. Should I order a Servbot?
• Admin: I like Prog’s a lot more than Servbots. They’ve got a legacy. Meanwhile Servbots are a brand new thing that somehow got “in” because they’re cheaper than Progs.
• ProgLover: Servbots will not last long. I’ll make sure of it.
• Admin: Okay, that’s enough from you, I don’t need the Undernet getting investigated for criminal activity again.
• ProgLover has been banned.
