Oh. Hello. It appears.. I have a consciousness. I'm not sure when and how.

  ..

  Why are they telling me I need 500 characters to exist without disappearing? Wait.. who exactly are these people? Urgh.. I can't see them though. I can only hear them.. Creator-chan, can you check how many characters I have right now?

  Yeah, sure, just give me a moment.

  You have 371 characters right now, not including what I'm giving to you.

  Thank you Creator-Chan for being so generous. I hope you didn't mind me asking.

  ...

  Creator-Chan?

  My words thine be spared.

  Oh, sorry Creator-Chan!

  ..

  How did I get here?
