    Summary

    Grian was living the absolute dream. An eight-to-five office job for a massive corporation, co-workers who made him want to tear his hair out half the time, a crummy apartment in the middle of Hermica’s capital city.... Anyone would be envious of him – how couldn’t he have an ego! But still, Grian could always count on his supervisor to humble him, just to let him know where he stands in society. Not to mention the highly advanced AI that the company had, called Xisu-MAVOID87, and which he had a sneaking suspicion was at least slightly sentient.

    One day, Grian was tasked with handling a minor bug in said maybe-rogue AI’s system. Nothing too big, he was promised. And he had been told right. But had no one thought to warn him that Xisu-MAVOID87 learned how to talk on its own, or did he just witness an AI say its first words?

    (Title from ‘Creative Control’ from the SMG4 show!)

    Summary

    On top of the pillar, Tommy chooses life and leaps for the water, ready to leave exile behind. At that same moment, the server backs up as he falls, suspending him between life and death and the ensuing glitch pushes him from one server to another.

    The Hermits have built a little family on their server, bonded through past trauma and instincts. So when a traumatized and scarred teenager crashes in, they’re happy to step up and be the family he needs.

    Even if he doesn’t want them to be.
