Dear Mun,

I dunno what you're talking about, lady. You can't make things explode with cute. I know.

And why would I want to explode the Grid? That would just be mean. Jeeze. It just got fixed!

It would be cool to visit again though. I have lots of summer vacation left.

Sincerely,
Sam

Hello, Sam.

[boygenius]

Hi, Clu!

[Given that there is a small User now intent on latching onto your knees, it might be easier than you think. SOB]

Whatcha doin?

[sysadmin]

[ WHAT. What is he doing oh User he clings like a gridbug get him off.

Clu's friendly smile is looking a little more strained now. ]

Working. What this about fixing the Grid?

[boygenius]

[And the more uncomfortable Clu looks, the huggier Sam gets because hey are you ok?]

Are you okay, Clu? Did you lose some memory? Did something happen? Were there explosions? Do you want me to get Dad?

[sysadmin]

No. [ Do not want Flynn involved in this. Not yet, anyway. ] No, I don't need your father.

[boygenius]

[Aaaaaand the warning bells are starting to go off now, because what.]

He's our Dad.

Don't you remember?

[How can Clu possibly remember him and not all the other stuff? Was it amnesia? Or...?]

[sysadmin]

[ ...twitch. Yeah, no, kiddo. He's never been considered family -- just Flynn's program. Just a Basic, just code.

The smile drops, and he takes a step back. ]

He is not.

[boygenius]

[Well this is familiar. Only instead of arguing with Uncle Roy about it Clu's arguing with Sam about it. And that's sad even if he's pretty sure now that this Clu is from another dimension or something.]

Yeah he is. You're a big jerk but you're still my brother.

[And there's a tiny version of Sam's protective face.]

I'm gonna go yell at other-universe Dad. Where is he?

[sysadmin]

[ Sam, you are remarkably adept at pushing all of Clu's buttons. Must have gotten it from Flynn. ]

Your father is busy hiding in the Outlands like a coward, and I have never been your brother.

[boygenius]

[Nah, it's part of a sibling's function to push all buttons as fast as possible.]

Why is he doing that? He should be fixing things! Aren't Uncle Alan and Uncle Roy and Aunt Lora helping? Is he hiding from Uncle Alan? Because Uncle Alan was going to punch him for a while. I dunno if he really did or not.

[What even, other-universe-Dad.]

Well I say you're my brother so there.

You should come home with me. Other-universe-Dad doesn't appreciate you enough.

[Clearly not or he would be fixing the Grid. Or something.]

Sorry for the threadjack ;;

[obtainedzen]

[No. Bad Clu. Bad. Go back to your throne ship and slouch like a whiny brat. Leave the little...him alone. B|]

<3!

[sysadmin]

[ nope.avi

Come on, you expect him to not take advantage of this? You're glitched. ]

[obtainedzen]

[Glitch, please. He will come out of the Outlands so hard on your ass you won't know what hit you. He knows how this User thing works now.]

[sysadmin]

[ Bring it, little bro. He'll be happy to put you into the Games again. ]
