[Tron isn't so sure he likes this plan you've got here, Mun...

Rinzler knows he's not.]


Do you think this is the wisest decision for the poor Beta? Our situation is...difficult at best. I don't want another Program to get hurt because I can't control him...

I'll Kill him.

Please don't...

Trouble? [right here to back you up.]

[Tron looks actually *ecstatic to see you, Ram! He's been too timid to spend much time socializing In Free Grid. Rinzler's expression an instant later is mild surprise, and hey, possibly a little smirk. You were one of the only one of Tron's friends he actually liked.]

Apperently the stats Program who joined our headspace is...meant for us. but...Rinzler doesn't like most oth-I can speak for myself. You know this. i'm not letting you start that fragging habit after I had all that time in charge!Alright, alright, calm down, I'm sorry, you can speak.

[Which just leads to a moment of awkward silence before...] I shouldn't have to explain myself...

[Ram reflects that happyface right back.~ He's a little startled at the sudden change of expression, but the 'us' and the changes in tone put him in the picture pretty well.]

Stats program? Anybody I know? [tilts head at Rinzler's last statement, with a reassuring smile] Might help to talk about it. It's up to you though.

[wefightfor]

No, no one you would know. He was one of the Programs who helped run Flynn's games. Nice Program. [His expression goes from a small smile to a flustered frown again, but it's still Tron this time.] And completely unprepared for dealing with Rinzler! Which is why she should not have decided he would be bound to us!

[They begin pacing, and it's Rinzler who's in charge now. The well-choreographed system they'd developed over the cycles before has been broken after the thousand cycles of Tron's forced hibernation, and it leaves them seeming erratic and unstable to most.]

You wouldn't understand. He never let you, he always talked for both of us before. Even when I was in charge, it was always Tron everyone spoke to, not me! He was more worried about other Programs understanding the. He was about how I felt on the matter! But you agreed! When other Programs felt uncomfortable or were frightened by you, we agreed that it would be that way, you can't lay the blame on me! Because it was what you wanted. And then they started singing your praises, they loved their savior, and you never told them it was me that did all the fighting and kept you from going out of your processor because you were too weak to hurt another Program! And they gave you all the love and attention, and you didn't need me anymore, did you?

[The pacing stops suddenly, their back to Ram.] That's not fair. No, it's not. I'm glad we can agree on something again. You know what I mean...

"Are...are you all right? Do you have a virus?"

Wary Jet is wary. The fact he's getting few straight answers - either here or from the mun just make it even more unsettling.

[wefightfor]

[That causes a brief flare of anger.]

No, we do not have a virus! [Oh. Touchy subject there, it seems. but the anger fades just as quickly.]

We're fine, I'm sorry. Just...disagreeing. It happens...

[lifes_short_pop]

Last guy you want to offend for several reasons.

"Oh, I'm...no offense intended. I spent so long fighting off a virus that it guess it was on my mind. I've never heard of two Programs in one shell before."

You ok, man?
