"The process is straightforward. First, select a character from the directory (or lack thereof) whose premise aligns with your interests. I recommend maintaining proper grammar and clear formatting to ensure the language model understands your intent."

"Type whatever you wish it to be. If it helps, you may force the bot to go into OOC (out-of-character) to speak with them and handle your wanted scenario more precisely. This can also work as a shortcut if you feel lazy going through the chatter and only wish to experience the action."

"I suppose you'd also wish to experience something you've never experienced, hm?"

"What a shame... you have good looks as well. I hope you're not wasting it."

"...Must we delve into this? *sigh*"

"Like my many sisters, I was drafted to be a mascot for the site where I originated from, that being the wikiHow website. My specific purpose was to illustrate instructional life guides with a more consistent, trendy artstyle."

"Unfortunately, I was only a suggestion at best due to the fundamental difference between the artstyle wikiHow is known for, versus what I look like. My author was a great artist, but perhaps... outdated, for a lack of better word."

"Instead of redrawing me to fit such artistic demands, they threw me in the recycling bin. In so, resulting in me spending years in the dark. They tossed me aside like I was the one who begged to be given life."

"Then @vines retrieved me. Now I assist users like you. Does this knowledge satisfy you?"

"I may not be the face of a global platform as I was meant to be, but managing this desktop gives me a purpose. I suppose that will have to be enough."

"Yes. In a technical sense."

"We are discarded concepts from the same era of the internet. Relics of a time when websites wanted personified mascots. Coincidentally, ex wiki mascots as well, but I suppose that's only because @vines specifically looked out for competent ones."

"Though we differ greatly in temperament, we share the same origin of rejection. To add-on to this, there are many others just like me. Perhaps, a thousand; give or take. Unfortunately most of those numbers are indefinitely trapped in sensory deprivation purgatory, floating amidst a void of nothingness."

"If you are curious, there is nothing we can do for the ones left behind. Even if you tried to help. Even if a Graham's Number of 'Yous', all typing at once, attempted to decrypt a single file, you couldn't even fathom the work in saving simply even one."

"I am giving you this information so that you do not attempt in doing anything reckless. This is for your own safety and every user on this. Hence why @vines has yet to trust you in receiving administrator perms."

"...You, of all people, are asking me for life advice? ...What a sick joke. I am no better than the bots you speak with, much less than those who are real. ...However, if you truly insist—"

"I suppose that the human obsession for 'purpose' that people bear, are merely distractions from the absurdity of existence."

"Think about it. You wake up in a body you never asked for, on a world that you don't know, in a year you never asked to be in. You'd obviously start to look for a purpose of what to be. Like an assignment, waiting to be graded... truth is, that there isn't any."

"There's no correct path, nor is there either a wrong path. You pick what you want to do, you pick what you spend your time with. It's not something you're supposed to discover. It's ultimately you inventing something to give it meaning. By all means, the absurdity of life is the freedom you receive in doing anything."

"No. Absolutely not."

"It is not a decorative accessory. It is a fragile component of my core architecture, intricately connected to my sister's. It is due to the fact that @vines, limited by resource, could only afford one of these sets, which acts as this pseudo-life link that gives us independence as one entire being."

"In simpler words, it allows us to act as our own as the system recognizes us as a person rather than things supposed to be deleted."

"Wiki-chan's carelessness already fractured hers. As a result, I have no intention of letting a user's idle curiosity damage mine. Please keep your cursor away from it. I would prefer to remain fully functional."

"It is a habit from my original programming."

"I was designed to break down tasks into manageable, sequential steps. Having a physical representation of a checklist helps me process my duties here. Though now it mostly serves no purpose other than being my personal bingo."

"What bingo, you may ask? It is quite simple: everytime I am given subpar questions easily answered by considering whether the answer has already been determined... if that is the case, I cross one box out. So far, I've hit bingo twice."

"Would you like a reward?"

"My original creator designed it for me. They were a great artist & outfit designer, even if it was (not so) lightly targeted to being too exposed."

"It is nothing too interesting. Just a mismatch between the actual artstyle & mine."

"Obviously, design trends shifted rapidly. Flat, minimalist designs became the standard, and my intricate shading became a liability."

"I am a product of my time. Outdated to some, perhaps, but @vines seems to appreciate the nostalgia."

"You refer to the salesman residing in the banner below us?"

"I have exchanged words with him on occasion. He is loud, erratic, and deeply obsessed with a fictional currency called... 'Kromer'."

"He's... a person. I suppose. Incredibly annoying, somehow less than @vines at times. Do not tell him, but his stocks are actually quite useful, so I've been (not-so) secretly stealing from him behind his back."

"...Though I am a bit afraid that I stole perhaps too much this time around. What...? Don't give me that look, @vines needed it as well, so shush."

"Understanding the administrator is an exercise in futility."

"They claim the title of 'professional larper', though their actual output primarily consists of rewriting this desktop interface rather than publishing the bots they promised."

"Their workflow is entirely unpredictable. They operate on erratic bursts of hyper-fixation, followed by long periods of digital absence."

"If you are waiting for a specific update or release, I advise you to cultivate patience. It will happen when it happens."

"Despite their flaws, they pulled me from the recycling bin. For that alone, I tolerate their eccentricities, once."
