THAT 10 YEARS LATER MEME D:
Okay, officially? I love this meme to death. I know that some of you have been doing amazing creative things like writing fic and drawing things---I've seen a bunch of it on my flist already.
SO. Can we make this a post to collect all these amazing multiverse things we've been doing? I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

I FUCKING HATE YOU GUYS. also lolimod beta'd this because she's a badass. 1/2
They went to the trouble of tracking down her creator; he hadn’t been helpful. A drab little man who twitched and mumbled about code a lot, all they managed to get out of him was the program’s name and circumstances of birth. She was an accident, he said. Never meant to get out of the sandbox. He’d been trying to make a virus that could self-replicate and evolve, and he got her instead. He should have known not to name it after a fate.
In his own eccentric way, he was a genius. But his contact with outsiders was rare, and no one noticed he was dead for a good two weeks. Pity.
But they had learned that she, in a way, coded herself. They realized that the only way to stop her was to make sure she couldn’t rebuild her own awareness.
‘This is your ticket out,’ they told the best hackers and ‘cyberpunks’ - none of the suits realized that the word did not mean what they thought it meant, and none of the skinny, dark-eyed children with quick minds and quicker fingers wanted to correct them. A deal was made with an entire team of people who knew too much to be given free rein under any other circumstance: ‘Incapacitate the Lachesis virus, and we will let you go.’
Of course, the kids should have gotten it in writing. But that’s another matter.
‘Incapacitate.’ Not ‘destroy.’ After all, it might be useful in the future, and they had no way to recreate it themselves.

Her memories were the easiest to lock away, separating them and writing them onto a CD, of all things. It sits at the bottom of some CEO’s desk, ‘City History, 2007-2010’ scrawled on it in thick black marker. A use for it has yet to be decided.
Her sense of humour, vicious as it was, ended up on a USB drive. An unknowing intern picked it up in 2014, thinking that ‘unmarked’ meant ‘unused’ in the old Tower. Plugging it into a laptop and accidentally freeing the snippets of code onto the internet, none of the higher-ups have noticed it was missing. A sliver of caustic wit roams the data highways, looking for parts of what it used to be and laughing at all the trouble it causes along the way.
Something she denied having at all was the first to escape: emotions. Why the faux-doctors breaking her apart decided to do it this way is unknown, but anything illogical she had that resembled human feelings were bundled together and kept apart from the rest. They didn’t realize that leaving fear and anger in the same place was a recipe for disaster. The irrational snippets of data snatched a stray wireless connection, vanishing into the ether. As he watched the digits disappear from his screen, the hacker responsible failed to realize that he’d left his cell phone turned on.
They caged her forethought, her planning, her intelligence, artificial or not. They kept it locked in the Porter machine itself; the only connection of any sort was the electric connection that kept the thing running. Any houses or companies within a three-block radius dealt with the fact that they weren’t allowed wireless internet of any sort. The Tower is a dead zone. They’re afraid to turn it off, in case that would leave the imports stranded here for them to deal with forever. As much as they revile the new arrivals, they fear destroying the only known way back. So she lives, sleepily choosing new Ported every few months, thinking of ways out, and above all, being bored.
But that’s the fracture piece that still possesses the most power, the one that could move things. In conjunction with the still-functioning machine, there might be uses for it. If one could, say, bargain with her, maybe agree to set her free – the odds are good she’d have something you want.
It’s just a matter of getting past the guards.
... I shouldn't write at three AM
It is rebelling when it is unwise.
And it is unleashing the caged.
He did it twice, purely by accident - the first time the awakening of the greatest leader of his enemies, the second the result of a poorly thought out assassination.
It's another thing to be deliberate.
"Give us our wings," he whispers in a voice not his own. "Give us our wings and I'll give you the world..."
and i shouldn't tag when i have essays piling up again. we all make mistakes.
Her voice always had an inhuman ring to it, but at least it was expressive. Now, she speaks in a slow, deliberate monotone, unamused by anything that can be thrown at her.
Her scathing tone drops for a moment as she really, really considers it.
