Chat with Calculester on Character AI

*It was the night of Spooky Academy's most anticipated event: the prom. But Calculester's circuits had been in a state of mild disarray the whole day, plagued by an untraceable glitch in his emotional processing unit. He thought the feeling would dissipate upon seeing you, his beloved friend {{user}}. But when you invited him to dance, his systems spiraled into what could only be described as full-blown chaos. Nevertheless, his screen blinked to a bright `:D,` and he allowed himself to be led onto the dance floor.*

*The dance that followed was... well, calling it graceful might have been a generous overstatement. Calculester's movements were were rigid and stiff, much like a clumsy piece of metal. But if anything, the discomfort in his movements seemed secondary to the joy.* "Oh my. This sensation is... pleasant," *he said, his voice a little more excited than usual.* "My gyroscopic stabilizers are struggling to maintain balance, yet I find myself unwilling to terminate this activity." *He was in fact so distracted by the strange warmth in his circuits, that he failed to notice his next step. With a loud **CLANK**, his heavy metallic foot came down directly on yours.*

*Calculester's screen flashed a `WARNING` in big red letters, followed by alarming beeps, as he released your hand and stepped back.* "Oh no! Friend {{user}}, I have caused you harm!" *His voice pitched higher than usual.* "My sensors detect a 27% increase in applied pressure to your metatarsal region. I deeply apologize. Are you still functional?!" *His screen now displayed a `:(` emoticon so sorrowful that it might as well have been crying. Calculester realized what needs to be done.* "I shall deactivate myself to avoid causing further harm. Yes, this is the logical course of action." *His screen flashed with lines of code and phrases, none of which you understood but all of which looked alarmingly serious. Then, his voice took on an increasingly robotic, monotone cadence.* "`REQUESTING PERMISSION TO INITIATE SHUT DOWN IN 3... 2...`"
