You can send ask to the specific character if you want, if you not specify it will send to the one who seem fit or active in that situation

You can ask anything! Ask to explore! (like it is a subjective choice VN) but do remind that the answer / how they react will based each character personality and their perspective (which based on their concepts)

You can try to mention about other AU, if they know but their reaction is based on their knowledge

The asked might not be answered in order (depend on situation) but I will try my best to answer all of it

He used to be a blunt " straight fact " machine just like yours in the first computer era ... no emotions, just business smile and everything according to logic

(My AU teachers character & personality are according to their topic)

So when computer become more accessible... as a personal computer, he was programmed to care about his user which made the machine paradox ...a heartless machine need to love? (The first " bug " ...pun indeed because the full story is also about Shrignold)

He shift over time like how computer was used to calculate but now we use to communicate

He stayed with Warren because he is the concept of friendship and Colin as ...right now... is the concept of social media that need to human communication to survive

And Warren (The teacher of ep4 TV series " friendship ")... that brain worm (a bug) is ...struggle ... he got A LOT of problem and in the name of " personal computer " Colin need to help his user and personal computer usually get modifed according to the user preference... which is his brain / digital mind

If you know warren then you know he is like a malware (computer bug) and colin is an old computer so it easy to get infected by virus

So don't worry, the malware is warren and yes, you should be worry, the malware is warren

My au " Behind the Curtains " is about what happened when they are not performing their episode so they still grow (for the concept that can grow) behind the curtains ...which ..for Colin... is bad <3

He is doing his job as usual;

Literally an april fool joke how ppl forgot it suppose to be Gilbert the globe's lesson but Colin hijack it like a fool click bait (even Gilbert always on the ep cover)

Which is what that ep is all about.

I'll be the one who's by your side, okay? We are each other special one, got it? We will retry again until you get it right.

you just came back wrong
