[ the feed opens a young man frowning at the screen. while not wholly unknowledgable about technology he is by no means skilled in removing unwanted apps that frankly do not want to be deleted. it seems he has been fighting this fight for a hot minute and unknowingly hit the video function. xiao exhales, defeated, before blinking rapidly in surprise.

oh, this is on. well, it won't hurt to ask. ]

If there is anyone skilled in the removal of unwanted applications seek me out. [ how are they going to do that, xiao?? ] My own efforts in removing this have done very little.

[ maybe introducing himself will help facilitate the removal of this app? how else are people to seek him out. ]

My name is Xiao.

[ good job buddy, you tried. ]

[Hello mysterious young green man, have a mysterious blunt bird(?) lady here to ruin your day.]

If you're trying to get rid of the Libra app, 'fraid you're shit outta luck there.

I am quite skilled with app removal.

Unfortunately, this application has resisted all my efforts. I believe you are ‘out of luck,’ as the children say.

ACTION

[whiteshroud]

[After a day of dealing with Yuuki, Jun decided to go get some air on his favorite roof. It's been awhile since he's gotten to be there alone and--


--- Who the fuck is this.

Standing on the roof is a shrouded person who...well, is pretty close to Xiao in height. His body language is one of confusion. When he speaks, he talks through a voice modulator]

Who are you?

[He cannot believe his eyes right now. Normally he is very calm and composed, but he's dealt with some hell the past few weeks and this is almost his worst nightmare?

Not seeing Xiao. That part is actually quite nice.

But having Xiao run into him on a mission, when he knows there are others watching, when he knows that Xiao could be considered a weakness, when he knows that if the Black Order overstepped their contract and tried to recruit him he would not be safe—

There are a thousand scenarios racing through his mind backed by memories of people who are Xiao and people who are not Xiao, and nearly all of them end in disaster.]

What—

Yeaaaaah, from my understanding this thing never goes. It's just around forever. For better or worse.

...Sometimes, for the worse here, honestly. Anyway, hi? I'm Varian. Welcome to the club, I guess.

[ Yor, who got the application basically just now and kind of assumed it was a game: ]

So it's a social app? Hi Xiao!!! You should keep it so we can chat!! [ Why ]

My knowledge with computers is about as far-reaching as a fish's ability to explain how one can climb a tree.

However, I will let you know from my singular experience, Xiao, that this 'app' is not one you can remove.
Neither can you silence it.
Or hide it away in a folder.

Repeated attempts to delete it have made it appear back in my folders despite turning off or restarting the phone immediately upon removal.

I feel as if it is supernatural in some way, and it is hopelessly stuck.
