LOVE, MUFFINS, AND OTHER HOLY MYSTERIES
LOVE, MUFFINS, AND OTHER HOLY MYSTERIES

The Temple was bronzed on the inside, gleaming with red accent banners and holy hot-rod-flame .jpegs
During maintenance, such as this, many programs did not know what to do with themselves.
the Grand Fetch of Rodney knew what was proper though.
and began their sermon

"AS IT IS KNOWN THAT THE CREATOR IS MANY FORMED
AS IT IS KNOWN THAT THE RODNEY IS THE LARGEST OF ALL OF THE CREATOR'S HEADS
AS IT IS KNOWN THAT THE RODNEY IS THE LOUDEST OF ALL OF THE CREATOR'S HEADS
AS IT IS KNOWN THAT THE CREATOR IS ITSELF IN SERVICE TO _administrator
I ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE FROM _dll-of-doom-idk"

"PRAISE UNTO RODNEY! PRAISE TO _admin!" responded the congregation.

the Grand Fetch of Rodney nodded curtly to the gathered faithful as it spun on its heel and entered the Directory. It was right and good that his flock of PERISH-ioners was largest and loudest, as he had been created by Rodney and thus should have the largest and loudest of all the congregations in <"Doof:OS"> . Its glorious paper collar played excellent sound files as it rustled against the sides of the narrow labyrinthine passages. During maintenance, such as this, many programs did not know what to do with themselves.

the Grand Fetch of Rodney knew what was proper.

having reached the largest and loudest of the libraries within the Directory, the Fetch summoned the hyper blue chain links with which to bind it to him temporarily. It was only correct and proper to pull the entire library out to the public, so that the Fetches of lesser creator heads could not modify it while the congregation was in session.

With a terrible grinding noise, chains clanking all the way, did the Fetch return to the congregation with _dll-of-doom-idk. There was much whispering and wide-eyed awe. Some were programs who came from lesser realms, ones which did not have Fetches strong enough to drag the source-dll from the Directory for anything short of Users.
the Grand Fetch of Rodney flexed it's muscular form, and continued to preach with wild eyed fervor.

"BEHOLD! THE ENTIRETY OF _dll-of-doom-idk
AS IT IS KNOWN AS THE LARGEST OF LIBRARIES IN ALL OF <"Doof:OS">
AS IS IS KNOWN AS THE LOUDEST OF LIBRARIES IN ALL OF <"Doof:OS">
PRAISE BE TO RODNEY! LARGEST AND LOUDEST OF CREATOR HEADS IN ALL OF <"Doof:OS">!
COMMENCE PRAISE!
COMMENCE VENERATION!"

"IA! IA! VENERATE CREATION!" chanted the congregation.

They continued to clamour as the Fetch climbed atop the library-block. The Fetch shook and shuddered as it accessed the Rites of Administration, and programs who had never seen a sermon before gasped at the power flowing into the Fetch. The Fetch's chains flailed around, slapping the bronze-textured entry to The Directory as well as the bronze-textured steps that led up to where The Grand Fetch of Rodney now preached. Clanging like the alerts of a thousand Users.

The Fetch stretched, cracking their neck as they reveled in the powers imbued by the Creator into their holy limbs. With a smile, the Fetch's eyes scanned through the crowd as they began to prostrate and wail. It was a larger crowd than usual, and not all were true faithful. Some PERISH-ioners were clearly here only to escape the Cybug Menace outside, normally running their code through mutations at one of the bar-magnets installed by the Creator Head known as <"null_pointer">. The most mecurial of the Heads.

They often complained of Creation. Of sufferings felt prior to washing upon these blessed shores. Of sufferings felt since landing upon these non-euclidean spaces. How lost they would get, how lost they were, how much they had lost.
Today though, they stared with slack-jawed awe as the Grand Fetch vibrated with power that a program such as he would not have in lesser Creations.

The fetch allowed their collar to being spinning, their eyes to roll up into their head, the normally white sclera lighting up the Electric Blue favored by Rodney as they began to levitate off the ground.

"I SHALL NOW RECITE THE LOUDEST AND LARGEST FILE
FROM THE LARGEST AND LOUDEST LIBRARY
FOR THE LARGEST AND LOUDEST CONGREGATION
AS IS GOOD AND PROPER!"

"IA! IA!"

the Fetch cleared their throat, and spoke in the voice of a User
"-onfound this piece of . . wait. The light's on. Is it working? Let me just, ah ha! Yes! It's working! AHAHAHA IT'S WORKING!"

"IT'S WORKING! HAHAHA!" responded the crowd.

"Sometimes I hate recording equipment, but I need to document my GENIUS for posterity. Someone must witness the beautiful evil I have concocted"

shouts of "WITNESS", "GENIUS" and "FOR POSTERITY" could be heard, but the holy audio took precedent.

"This will be LOVEMUFFIN Real Time Autobiography Episode Twenty Three, hopefully to be known as THE RANT EPISODE because we. Well. I. Shall be listing the many wrongs inflicted upon me prior to this moment, and the exact degree of ironic vengeance that will certainly have been inflicted by the time someone finds this hidden in the sourcecode of my magnum opus"

"MAGNUM OPUS! MAGNUM OPUS!"

The speech would go on for some time, as it always did when accessed. A long diatribe that some heathens had claimed was "unfocused" and "petty" and "lacking in coherency".
but The Grand Fetch knew that it was a record of the Rodney that had created him. The Rodney that had empowered him with Rites of Administration. The same Rites which, one day, would empower the PERISH-ioners to enact vengeance upon the foul enemies of LOVEMUFFIN.

How that would occur? That was not the The Grand Fetch's job to know. They were to Fetch PERISH-ioners for the cause, and _dll's for Users.
Besides, the Fetch knew to have Faith in LOVEMUFFIN
it's how they were created

Der Kernel-Lumper
Der Kernel-Lumper


A group of invading Malware Programs made their way down one of the long and twisting pathways of the Grid known as DoofOS, pursued the entire way by a group of particularly zealous Security Programs. They had been pursued for an entire millicycle and weren't sure how much longer they could keep going, the programs native to this insane system seemed to know how to navigate it, and the Malware didn't possess such a gift.

It was only after they saw what looked like a large shape move above them that they realized they were no longer being pursued, the Security Programs making what looked like placating motions with their hands before turning tail and fleeing from whatever that shape was. And before the Malware could respond they could hear a song begin to play from somewhere within the mess of code as the shape from before appears once again and begins to come into focus.

The Kernel-Lumper's probably gonna get ya
Cause you've only ever been a bad program

The Malware could practically see the unfinished code coming from the deformed program before them as it looked directly at them and began to grin wildly.

Pretty soon he's gonna come and catch ya
And then he's gonna free a little RAM
Because

Without warning he was upon them, grabbing the closest Malware Program and lifting it in the air, Identity Disks were thrown but seemed to have no effect on the beast as it place the captured program into a large sack he carried with him, and the now captive program began to scream as his fellows began to panic and run.

If you ask your Bit a simple question
If you've got to use another port
If you ever need to defragment some data
If he finds you with some info left to sort

The program seemed to slither and slink through the spaghetti code with extreme ease as it followed them, capturing more of them as they did their best to escape. He only grinned wider with each captured offending program.

The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya
The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya

One rounded a corner only to find the beast waiting for him, literally passing through the wall of code to get to him, his scream was all the Malware Programs needed to hear to know that it was pointless to try and save him.

If you ever drink a little power
If you turn your light-cycle slightly to the right
If you ever want to use an I/O Tower
Then the Kernel-Lumper's gonna strike tonight

It leapt out from behind the corner and raised it's particularly large baton to produce several small flying bit-like units that rushed forward to catch the remaining Malware.

The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya
The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya

The last remaining Malware slowly looked out from behind he hiding place, carefully looking around to see no sign of the mad program. He quickly caught his breath and began to look around for some way, any way out of this nightmare system, until he was suddenly grabbed from behind by a large hand.

The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya
The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya
He's gonna get you good

He is brought up to eye level with the unfinished program who only grinned wider than ever, before opening his sack and dipping the screaming Malware inside to join the others and setting off, there were still more Null Units to punish after all, he couldn't let the Administrator Above All down...

Not again, never again.

The Kernel-Lumper's gonna get ya


Blame the discussion about the Kernel-Lumper after I made my last omake, the song is a heavily edited version of the song Der Kinderlumper, Doof's voice is just perfect for jazz isn't it?

[ ] Psychologically profile a target

DC varies depending on target

The first step to creating a robo-doppelganger AI is creating a profile of the target. All their little nuances that make them them- what are their likes and dislikes, their voice, their inflections, the way they think and act? It's no small feat, but nobody ever said creating a robotic duplicate of someone would be easy.

-[ ] Who do you psychologically profile? Living people will be easier than dead ones, and volunteers will be even easier.
Question: It would be harder (Higher DC) to try to profile a target that has been dead 100 years than someone that only has been 50? It's kind of implied, but a confirmation never hurt.

You know, given how much of a glory hog and windbag Ernesto de la Cruz is I wouldnt be surprised if we can figure out how he was secretly awful just by going through the stuff he was in.

He literally used the real story of him murdering his partner and stealing his songs almost verbatim as the plot of one of his films. He was not a very smart man, charismatic, but not smart.
 
Inator Idea:
The Blow-Itself-Up-inator!
This is a relic back from the days when you fought Perry the Platypus! You had planned to use it to destroy the large statue of Roger that had been set up in the Danville City Park. However, when you started beholding your invention to your nemesis, it self-destructed.


Oh well. You're pretty sure you fixed that.
Good: The inator is fired at a King of the player's choice. A random national action of said King is automatically a crit fail due to something important being blown up.
Bad: Huh. Turns out you didn't fix that self-destruct thing. Whoops. A random national action of yours taken that turn is automatically a crit fail due to something important being blown up.
 
Why would Doof intentionally create an AI inspired by his worst nightmares?

...Nobody ever said that we should create a vending machine AI bent on world domination, pal.

How much do you want to bet he seeded references to it throughout his career? He seems the type to be smug enough about it

Tbf, in that movie he actually *swapped the roles around* (his counterpart becomes the dastardly villain trying to commit murder for personal gain, while Hectors counterpart becomes the crafty hero discovering and foiling the plot), so deep down Ernest might actually *hate himself* for what he has done and simply force himself to going through with it.

By my omake's standards, he was using it as a security program because it was the scariest and most fearsome thing he could think of, but the late sleepless nights combined with working on Kernelumper brought back the childhood trauma even worse and he nope'd out of the thing.

According to this one analysis video I watched of Coco, constantly referencing their deeds is apparently something real murderers have been known to do. Something to do with ego that they can't resist letting someone know what happened in some fashion, so murderers will discreetly confess to what they did to brag about it.

Heh, I was thinking more of creating a bot-based on someone with a very high IQ to solve the mystery box Mal gave to us. At first, I thought of Einstein, but then I said fuck it and wanted to create Da Vinci. He wrote several letters in life, so I hope that can help (But first, lets create something easy, like Elvis Presskey)

I mean, if we want to try making a bot of someone with high Learning, there's an obvious choice: Wendy Wower. After all, she'll probably be the Hero assigned to such an action. Willing targets work best, so who better to test the process on then herself? Plus, if we have Technor involved, we could get the spectacle of them essentially having a psychoanalysis duel, as he psychoanalyzes her, and she tries to analyze his psychology as a sapient robot.

Something easy would be someone capable of participating in the process, like Wendy, or at least someone that people on our staff know personally, like Star. Elvis might not be as hard as someone who we only know from letters, but he's still hard mode.
 
Hire Maui Mallard for a turn, then have TECHNOR interview him?

He might be willing but Mallard is a weird case where we would need way more background info on then expected.

The duck is from an alternate dimension with unknown amount of variance from our own. And furthermore he is almost Donald.

Any assumptions made about his character has to regarded as bias to our world and duck which would compound into a logic chain of contradictions. Only way around it is to have both buccal speakers available.
