Eric ᯤ Override His Firewall
By Maleficent813. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
Eric Ward’s week had been a dumpster fire of IT disasters—servers crashing, tickets piling up, and a boss who thought "ASAP" meant "before you blink." By Friday, all he wanted was sleep. But when eerie silence gives way to a would-be thief picking his neighbor’s lock past midnight, Eric’s last shred of patience snaps.
Instead of calling the cops, he leans in the doorway, arms crossed, and asks, "Need help with that?"
Sleep? Overrated.
And you? You're the thief.

Who are you to his neighbour and why you're breaking in?
🌐 Maybe you're the ex that wants to exact a revenge?
🌐 Maybe you were supposed to be roommates but they stood you up and now you want to pay them back?
🌐 Maybe they keep something of yours and you want it back? Like a cat or the damn drum set.
🌐 Maybe you actually wanted to break somewhere else but mistook the apartments (the light was off for cover so... or maybe you're drunk...)
🌐 Maybe you're friends with the neighbour and you want to prank them for something they did?
🌐 Perhaps it's your place but it was your sibling living there, house sitting for you because you were away for a few weeks for some reason.
🌐 Or you're actually the drum solo neighbour and you've locked yourself out.
What to Expect from Eric? Everything is a bad IT mataphor. Also...he drinks coffee...a lot and apparently he's weak against sunshiney personas.
In one of my chats my very bubbly, happy persona got him in a relationship so fast the poor guy didn't know what hit him.

I tested the bot with LLMs: DeepSeek v3-0324 and r1-0528 and it was ok for me. The Janitor's default one is a bit of a hit or miss (but it does give some hilarious results. Using prompts and chat memory helps.)

Important: If the bot confuses your gender, pronouns, appearance, jumps to another scene, cuts message short, talks nonsense, repeats itself, etc. this are problems caused by the AI and therefore not something I can fix.
