An idea that will either end up as a LARP...or a cutesy Japanese anime.

I saw a thread titled,

"An rpg with PC Angels"

And I naturally misinterpreted it. Instead of reading it as a request for games where Player Characters play angels, I thought from the title that this was going to be about a game where the players play angels that deal with the spiritual problems of personal computers.

It could be a weird sort of Christian Shinto synthesis world, where computers have spirits, and if the computers are abused or used to access the wrong web sites too often, they can gain spiritual corruption. Too much spiritual corruption could lead to lackluster performance, mysterious BIOS problems, even major system meltdowns (Oooh! Computer Suicide! How Tragic!), followed by the user being haunted by the spirit of the dead computer. To prevent this of course, you need PC angels (dressed in some weird cyberpunk-angel meganenekkomiko outfit) to spiritually cleanse them.

For even more fun, (or to get brickbats, depending), one could represent the computer spirits using the various OS-Tan figures. That should be enough to get a small, devoted fandom we would need to spray for regularily.

Sounds a bit like Serial Experiments Lain.

Yes! Well, Serial Experiments Lain with much more cuteness...and angel wings...and stuff. Maybe Serial Experiments Lain crossed with FLCL and Ah! Megami Sama.

And now I need to go lie down now...

I like it. You should write it.

OK, OK, maybe not for this coming convention, but another.
