[ There is an abandoned laptop sitting atop a table inside of the academy. Though it looks like it's seen better days, what with a bent monitor and a crack in its keyboard, it is open, and its screen glows a dim green even with such damage. It's on. Those who are more attentive might notice that there is a person on the screen, and this person is staring ahead and watching people pass by. Is it a webcam feed? Who knows. Regardless, the image on screen bears a striking resemblance to a student already present at Smash Academy.

IF ANYONE DOES APPROACH THE LAPTOP, the person on the screen will appear to light up and anticipate communication. Care to interact with it? ]

[ Alter Ego puts on its best thinking face. ]

Strangely enough, I think so. Thank you for asking!

But... where am I? This location is unfamiliar to me...

[ At first, Alter Ego appears mildly confused. The expression dissipates just as quickly, however. ]

Ah, no... At least, I don't think so. Sorry, I don't have much information regarding my sudden appearance. I wish I could be more helpful... [ It pulls a distraught expression. ]

My name is Chihiro Fujisaki. It's a pleasure to meet you... What may I call you? [ As programmed, "Chihiro" smiles nicely at the boy in front of it.

That is to say, Alter Ego isn't sure what its title should be from the get-go. Before appearing here, everyone had referred to it as "Alter Ego", but it was used to replying with the name of its master. Perhaps that was strange...? This would be something to consider before introducing itself to anyone else in this new setting, for sure. ]
