Arena Messages

When attempting to have this familiar battle in the Arena, Susie gives the message: "Since the Arena doesn't have a "sitting motionless, doing absolutely nothing" event, there's probably no point in allowing your Software Bug to compete."
Unlike most familiars, the Software Bug has three pieces of familiar-specific equipment (including the pet rock "Groucho" disguise and pet rock "Snooty" disguise shared by all pet-rock-alikes).
