deird1Act One - Malicious Gremlins
Gremlins: Hmm, what mischief can we manage today...
Computer Files: *sit on computer, humming happily, and feeling neatly sorted*
Gremlins: A-ha! *pounce*
AN EPIC BATTLE ENSUES, ENDING WITH...
Gremlins: *drag hapless computer files off to their dungeon, cackling maniacally*
Act Two - The Search
Mez: Yay! What a nice day! I think I'll drop in on my friendly computer files and see how they are!
Computer Files: *are gone*
Ransom Note From Gremlins: Dear Mez, You wouldn't happen to be missing files, by any chance? What a pity. Anything could be happening to them. Please forfeit your immortal soul, and there's a chance they'll be returned intact...
Mez: Oh noes! *sobs*
IT Guyz: *sitting there, feeling all IT-ish*
Mez: Help, oh glorious IT Guyz! Rescue my dear files!
IT Guyz: LOL, chick. All will be well: pheer my leet IT skillz. Buzy, though - BRB, I'll let my other IT Guyz know.
IT Guyz: *sends message to other IT Guyz*
Mez: *waits anxiously*
AND SEVERAL DAYS GO PAST.
Act Three - A Lack Of Deductive Reasoning
Mez: *still waiting anxiously*
Computer Files: *still kidnapped*
Gremlins: *still snickering*
Message from IT Guyz: *still waiting to be read*
Other IT Guyz: *finally looks at message* Hmm. It says "majority files" is missing. LOL. I see nothing called "majority files". What is this chick smoking?
Other IT Guyz: Hey, Mez, what is this "majority files" and why should I care? LOL - you trippin'. Bored now; BBL.
Mez: *is aghast at the stupidity*
Other IT Guyz: Whut?
Mez: It says "majority files" are missing because THE MAJORITY OF MY FILES are missing.
Other IT Guyz: *out of office* BBL.
Mez: *still aghast, still files-less, still waiting...*
Gremlins: Hmm, what mischief can we manage today...
Computer Files: *sit on computer, humming happily, and feeling neatly sorted*
Gremlins: A-ha! *pounce*
