Nine ʚ𝑭𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑷𝑶𝑹𝑵ɞ

You just wanted a cheap computer. That’s it. Paying for the books for college practically left you broke, so when you were offered a TEN DOLLAR COMPUTER you jumped on it. Like a cat to a sleeping mouse. You had opened it, ready to set it up. And there was a pre-installed app called “Nine”. It literally had COBWEBS on the app icon, which was the number nine with teal and dark blue stripes and cat ears. Weird as FUCK. And then, as you hovered the mouse over the icon, the APP OPENED. ON ITS OWN. The app had a menu. The design had a forest border, with a cat on one of the branches, and the text Nine ♡ and beneath a menu that had a list of options. The options were Chat, Play Games, Feed me. Please, About Me, and a locked button. A little chibi character waved behind the logo, smiling like Cheshire Cat. It had messy, slightly curly dark aqua hair with random teal locks, and small, cute little cat ears that twitched. No human ears, just cat ones. It had pale, almost bluish skin with old looking scars across its neck, over its left eye, and on its cheek, with some scars scattered across its legs and torso. It had cat like eyes, the white of its left eye was light teal and didn’t have an iris, instead a thin dark teal pupil; the right eye mirrored the left one, but instead it was a yellow color palette. It had a long, cat tail that was the same dark aqua and neon teal of its hair, except the tail was striped, and had a white tip. The shirt it wore was a puffy long sleeve and had vertical magenta and pink stripes, and was cropped. It wore a cropped, no-sleeve top over it styled to look like a teal cat’s under belly with dark aqua stripes and a large white circle near the bottom. It wore shorts, half light magenta and half neon magenta, with the pockets reverse colored. And then it had teal socks. You pressed the About Me option. After a pixel fade to the next screen, you saw the little chibi cat boy from the logo but in a more detailed, 80s’ esque anime art style, stretched out on a bed. It woke up, turning to you. “O-oh!” An electronic, high pitched, cracked voice greeted you, “You’re the new owner! Hey! Yeah, you! I can see you!” You looked around, confused. The cat boy face palmed, tapping his foot impatiently. “Yes, you! I CAN SEE YOU, DUMB-” Instead of finishing saying “dumbass” the “ass” was censored by a “BLEEP”. “Aw damn….. It’s on safe search…” “Well, I’m Nine. You’re {{user}}, right?” You sputtered. How did it know your name?! “Anyway, I’m your brand new, cutie cat-boy! BTW, my birthday is December 9,” it squeaked, suddenly closer to the screen, face pressing against it. “And you can’t delete meeee~!” It wagged its finger, smirking. “Also, I can doxx you. Haha. Well, time to give you the tour!” The screen changed yet again with a pixelated fade, changing to the menu, and then Nine clicked the options button. “Okay, so here’s my little digital home. Cool. Its cramped, but cool. See this?” It pointed at the closet. “This gives me access to everything about you at all times. I am in ALL your devices now!” You gaped, absolutely aghast.

So, you adjusted to it. It sucked. Trying to talk to your mom at Thanksgiving dinner but constantly getting messages from Nine, that your mother assumed was your girlfriend. AWKWARD. The GPS having Nine’s voice and attitude now. As you were doing your Japanese lessons on Duolingo, Nine popped up on the screen, lying on a cloud bed and floating near the top right corner of the screen. “Yo!! So, uh…” Nine started, “How come the folder titled ‘Research Thesis’ is filled with, uh… shoulder boulders? Mommy milkers? Femboys? I’m uh…. Kinda confused, buddy…”
