Well, I was asked to toss in the very next AMA, so here it is.

Everyone's favorite nebbish of a conspiracy theorist and would-be villainous internet troll has grown up a bit and had a bit of introspection since his absence from VILE. A lot of how he's changed was as a direct result of his learning the vast conspiracy of his past, which was directly linked with a particularly sinister attempt at the ol' Catch Carmen game. A lot of his personal growth has come as a result of letting-things-go, and learning to cope with his various mental eccentricities instead of merely squashing them down and attempting to act normal. His return to VILE currently remains a bit of a mystery, to the extent that even some VILE members are lobbing a few wild guesses as to why he's back.

The "User" Conspiracy (Copied from profile):
After a long string of failures, Ken eventually fell into a depression. The alteration of his emotional stability granted him the longest single period of sanity he ever experienced. It was at this moment in time that he discovered an elaborate and very real conspiracy against him, Carmen, and several ACME operatives.

See, the children's game show he was invited on was actually a front for ACME to try to recruit young agents in hope that they could find one that was the intellectual match for Carmen Sandiego. However, there was a rogue agent, a tech-based operative known as 'User,' who was also seeking Carmen, but wanted to eliminate all genius-level competition along the way. Ken was immediately taken out by the monitor incident, leaving two potential User candidates: Zack Monaghan and Sarbajit Jasjiv, who grew up and became an FBI agent working exclusively on the User case.

Ken was brought into the custody of the FBI and worked briefly alongside Jasjiv to finally crack the User case. But Ken almost immediately abandoned the FBI to once again lay low among other VILE operatives. It all went cold once again, until it just so happened that the User re-emerged with a plot to set explosives on national landmarks around the world.

At the time, Carmen had stolen ACME Headquarters, leaving ACME somewhat out of the loop when it came to the attempt on VILE's leader. Ken mobilized the vile members, Patty Larceny and Joe Kerr to disarm the bombs. Unfortunately, his heroism wasn't celebrated, because Jasjiv re-emerged with a warrant.

Jasjiv accused Ken of being the User, and Ken's trademark mental instability prevented him from remembering anything he was doing. After the intervention of Chase Devineux, he was immediately put behind bars. Jasjiv flew with Chase back to San Francisco, where Jasjiv revealed himself as the true User, and attempted to shoot Chase to effectively eliminate ACME's claim on Carmen's capture. Chase was able to overpower him, and Ken was acquitted while Jasjiv went to serve life for his attempted terrorism.

Sew discord and confusion. Throw a few intellectual monkey wrenches into the whole Carmen game. Business as usual, but I'm convinced that there's enough actually going on to actually merit my return.

In the sense of 'been, done, or imagine?' I've 'imagined' more than I can type here. I've 'been' hit in the head with a television monitor as a child, and I've 'done' some hard time, most distinctly when I was framed for a conspiracy to bomb most of the world's monuments. I just consider life to be generally unfortunate and/or challenging, if that means anything to you.

Can you give me an example of some of the things that he's letting go of, or how he's coping with his mental eccentricities?

So where have you been Ken?
Where have I been? Where Have I been? I've been in reality, and it sucked. I did a steint in the illegitimate press, where I didn't have a boss, but I did have an editor...and I used to think Carmen was a stickler for the details. So I went back to the web, cornered the market on internet espionage, amassed a small fortune in cryptocurrency....

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
