I knew you couldn't resist me forever. ♥

...what do you mean forever homeless?

[ Learn from the old master, young one. ]

[red_shift]

Guess it takes all kinds to do fangirl shipping.

[Nope, not signing your chassis either.]

[stand_witness]

[ Shipping you say? ]

[red_shift]

[Hey, that was the only good Jaws movie.]

[helpful troll AI is helpful]

bb you can troll me anytime

[red_shift]

That's cute. Can you quote any more definitions at me?

Try pedantic. That's a good one.

[worstdjever]

I can but I am afraid that you have failed to present the request in the proper command format. Failure on your part does not constitute an order that needs to be obeyed on mine.

[sysadmin]

[ Well. This is new. ]

You expect more from a User?

[ ...a bit bitter, there, Clu? ]

[red_shift]

[Well hello, me. Why so bitter?]

Of course not. They're only human.

[sysadmin]

[ Just got blown up, brogram. Well, reintegrated and then blown up. Rough milli. ]

Exactly. Riddled with inefficiencies, errors, glitches... They're faulty.

[notglitching]

[Rinzler. Will just be... rumbling over here. And maybe staring a bit. (And trying not to spy on Soundwave's choice of transmissions for a change.)

Unless you can make his user stop... laughing? It's getting disconcerting, okay.]

[red_shift]

[Well. This is... Um.]

New look for you.

[Trying very hard not to let the complete what the glitch reach his face, yes.]

[notglitching]

[Hey, Rinzler's trying not to let the complete wariness reach his face. Or the blank confusion at that comment. He's just failing somewhat spectacularly on both counts.

A slight pause (lag), and he shakes his head. Not so much with the new. What's your timestamp today, Clu?]

[firstaward]

[Glaaaaare. She hopes if she glares hard enough, you'll overheat and have some kind of horrific software meltdown. Is it working?]

...

[red_shift]

Greetings.

That's a very impressive glare.

[He's pretty sure he should know you since he's tried to keep track of the Grid's founder population. Shoot, what was that designation again?]

[firstaward]

I've had a lot of practice. [Blistering sarcasm ahoy!] Had a lot of reasons to do it lately, too.

"Homeless forever" means you aren't going anywhere, Clu. Ever. Might as well get used to it. [Can programs have schadenfreude? Because if so, hoo boy, is Perlis having it now.]

Late reply is late, sorry... X3

[tanks4thememory]

[Well... this is interesting. Have a somewhat suspicious, but more curious, hacker with a very familiar face.]

Your mun seems to think that if you came to the game I'm in, you'd never leave. [He has several ideas about why that might be, but isn't saying just yet.

Though Clu's already gotten a warmer reception than any other of his counterparts, aside from the one whose circuits are still white.]

Ain't nobody late to this party <3

[red_shift]

My mun is a complete spoil sport.

And your game stole one of my best adjuncts. [POUT.]

So what's your story?

Re: Ain't nobody late to this party <3

[tanks4thememory]

They can be like that sometimes. [Small smirk, though it fades quickly.] Though, given what's going on there recently, you might be glad you're not around.

And yes, so I've heard. I haven't met her there yet, though. [shrug]

And my story... well, did Flynn ever tell you that you weren't the first program he created to have the name 'Clu'?

[coadminclu]

[Yellow's generally a bad sign in his alternates, but Clu would sooner gather data that have a useless fight. That could come later, anyway. He smiles, though it's the guarded look he uses most often on viruses and stray hackers.]

Since finding what these people call a home seems to mean being dragged away from your own, you might not want to argue the case.

Interesting fashion choice.

[red_shift]

[Wow, the facetwins are coming out of the woodwork today. Clu raises le eyebrow at his clone's guarded expression. He knows that look, brogram.]

Might say the same about you.

[All right, yes, that's a valid point. But that game stole his secretary. He's allowed to be bitter.]

This is hardly what I'd call arguing the case.

[coadminclu]

You might. Mine has some tradition behind it. Wondering about yours.

[Lifted eyebrows right back, and more than a hint of challenge. He's spent a very long time working with Jalen's code and what some utter glitching idiot had done to it. Someone who liked yellow.]

Just thought I'd point out the drawbacks. I'm not sorry to be there myself, in spite of the shock to all involved. But certain security programs are going to lecture me about not being careful enough every time I get home.

[evolving_unaware]

[About to answer reassuringly; he himself managed to find a home again, after all, despite everything...but then his audio and visual sensors catch up to him and he realizes who he's looking at, and he freezes right in his tracks.]

...

[Maybe Clu hasn't heard him coming up behind him yet. Trying to back away means he might hear him though. And he's not sure he could move even if he wanted to...too many emotions (terror anger hurt), too many questions (why???). So for now he just stands rooted to the spot, praying his former Administrator will move on without noticing him and at the same time hoping in some strange sick way that he'll turn and see him after all.]

[red_shift]

[That feeling of being watched it a little creepy. Especially from such a familiar energy signature.

Sorry, Jalen. You're just irresistible. Clu turns and grins on seeing he's guessed correctly.]

Hey beautiful.

[Will he get smacked by his actual co-admin later? Probably. Does he care? NOPE.]

[evolving_unaware]

[Just stares.]

...Clu.

[Weaksauce reply, but he literally can't think of what to say here, as most of his processor's currently bound up in staving off fight-or-flight...and 'beautiful'? Really?? That's a new one on him.]
