“Wait. Really? HAH. THE CJ OWES ME $50.”

The award for ‘Under-Reaction Of The Year’ goes to…

“Okay, but that’s really hilariously meta, because if someone tried to change my code, someone else on another plane would have to code them to re-code me, and I’m written in an actual programming language entirely, not just mentally. That’s hilarious, but also kind of terrifying, but still hilarious.”

The Repairman jumped in surprise at the VP’s laugh. He had anticipated a lot of reactions to the news, but that was not one of them.

“So not only do your cogs likely respawn, but you profited off this, too!”

What he did expect was more fourth-wall-breaking, but not anything like this bot was making it out to be. The Repairman couldn’t even bring himself to explain the Wall to the VP until he was finished. He found himself half-heartedly laughing along, instead.

“Heh, well,” the Repairman started after it was done, “I’m glad you’re taking this as well as you are, but I probably should have introduced myself first. I am the Fourth Wall Repairman, and I would appreciate it if you tried to be less…meta.”
