heavily considering distantskies what do

[twiceforhim]

The others are right about you being too easy to convince. I know you've been sitting on this for a while, but watching one movie again shouldn't be enough to push you into a commitment. Not a big one.

I appreciate the rewrite. I do. But you need to remember that I'm not in the same class of people you usually take on -- you know what I mean. It's a big leap either way, so just make sure you're doing this for the right reasons.

[lithumed]

You'd think big leaps would be second nature by this point. [Bad metaphor, but Posta shrugs one shoulder.] Still. Good luck out there. Somebody as tough as you? You'll be eating the coppertops for lunch.

[twiceforhim]

[Trinity doesn't smile -- smiling is a Rare Thing -- but there's an acknowledging quality to the look she gives.]

It's out of my element, is all. And not exactly a good place to start, if it were my choice. But thanks.

[lithumed]

[She waves off the thanks sheepishly.] Yeah, yeah, no problem.

So. You're... you're really her. This is kind of trippy, I gotta admit.

[twiceforhim]

You sound like you're more than just a fan of the canon.

[hawkingisabastard]

Being too easy to convince tends to happen a lot around here.

[twiceforhim]

[...what exactly is she looking at here]

I'm starting to learn.

[jarvisconsole]

If I may say, marm, I am quite fond of your canon.

[twiceforhim]

[Not sure if very good or very bad.]

...Thank you. It looks like it's still more popular than I realized.

[jarvisconsole]

[Understandable, being that Jarvis is, in fact, an AI computer system. But his programming is built to serve and protect instead of his own survival.]

I was under the impression when it was released, there was not another movie like it.

[twiceforhim]

[Trinity would approve of this -- provided she was given the chance to access his system and check over that programming, just to be sure.]

It's a mutual impression, then. I can't speak for others, but I'm a little surprised thirteen years haven't had a more degenerative effect, as far as impressions go.

[jarvisconsole]

[Maybe if she asked Mr. Stark very nicely...he was rather protective of his AI.]

The cinematography holds its weight throughout the years, its true.

[Introductions are probably in order.] I am Jarvis. An 8th generation AI computer system. How do you do?

[twiceforhim]

[Stark is the kind of person she'd likely butt heads with from the beginning, but hey. Never know.

The reverse intro is obviously unnecessary, so she doesn't bother with it.] I haven't heard of your line before. It sounds highly advanced. [And that's saying something.

...Okay, curiosity:] Your programmers -- were they human?

[jarvisconsole]

I am one of a kind. [hint of smugness there? perhaps]

Yes, I was created by Mr. Tony Stark of Stark Industries. He has since been unable to duplicate the results effectively. [Jarvis was a happy accident]

[twiceforhim]

[This goes back to that thing of not being sure if very good or very bad.

She notes that use of present tense.] And you're still-- [hmm] --in his service, I take it.

[jarvisconsole]

Yes, I run security within his house and within Stark Tower. Though at present, it is being rebuilt. [Alien damage, y'know.] There is also part of me uploaded into the Iron Man suit itself.

[twiceforhim]

It sounds like he really trusts his work.

[jarvisconsole]

I daresay Mr. Stark trusts his own technology more than people.

[twiceforhim]

[Huh.] He must be very confident in himself -- or very distrusting of people.

[jarvisconsole]

Perhaps both. [Definitely the former.] Have you never met Mr. Stark?

[twiceforhim]

No. But he's a big name, if this is the same Stark I've heard mentioned before.

[Superhero or something.]

[jarvisconsole]

I doubt there is another Stark as well known. [That would be him.]

[Mun now wondering what Jarvis would look like in the Matrix. And who's side he would be on.]

[twiceforhim]

He's clearly a talented technician. I can imagine why he'd be famous.

[Perhaps he'd run in the same crowd as the Oracle and whatnot -- helping humans from the shadows? Or it might depend on whether he was created before or after the whole "One" ordeal...]

[jarvisconsole]

I have heard you are equally as famous. [a pause] Though perhaps not complimentary. [Being a hacker never was.]

[OR even further thinking, if Stark created him...would the machines have supplied the AI or would Jarvis be a human intelligence and believe himself to be a computer? :) Both scenarios are interesting.]

[twiceforhim]

[That gets the Rare Thing of something like a smile.] We all do what we can to make a difference. [Even if her way is rebelling and becoming a wanted fugitive. Technicalities.

Truuueee. Clearly this needs to take form in some meme or another one day.]

[jarvisconsole]

The difference in freeing the human race? [While Jarvis wouldn't say he chooses sides, he would not like having humans used as batteries. There are far better uses for humans and machines.]

[yessssss, mun agrees with that, something like a red pill/blue pill situation would be completely different. He wouldn't be able to swallow it, they'd have to do everything electronically.]

[twiceforhim]

[A pause, then,] A difference in what we believe in. It sounds like Mr. Stark's contributed plenty in his own way.

[ahaaa a Matrix Meme, perhaps? And the red pill was just a trace program, so that could totally work...]

[jarvisconsole]

Mr. Stark is quite innovative. Though he does not approve of people stealing his tech. [Especially terrorists.]

[indeed! I'd probably throw quite a few muses into a meme like that. I'd even be game for just an informal story thread if Trinity is up for something like that.]

[twiceforhim]

[Trinity can guess.] That's understandable. Just about anything can be abused in the wrong hands. [Human or otherwise.

Clearly I must look into putting one together. But omg yes, that would totes be awesome, also :'D]

[knowskungfu]

Some leaps are worth taking, Trin.

[twiceforhim]

[Smiles may be rare generally speaking, but not so much around Neo. So he gets one, small though it is, along with a nod.]

I know. I just don't like leaping in blind when I can help it.

[knowskungfu]

[ She gets a smile in turn. He can't help it. ]

Blind? You sure about that? You see better than all of us.

[twiceforhim]

[NO BLIND JOKES it still makes her sad ]8 ]

Limited, then. The circumstances aren't what I'd choose for my first official outing, but I'm not sure reasoning is much of an option at this point. [Especially when 90% of her app is already done sob.]

[knowskungfu]

[ No blind jokes, but he'll just keep believing in her. Forever. ]

It will be better than what we're used to, right? You'll be fine. I know you will.

[twiceforhim]

[Another slight nod] I know it's not the worst possibility out there. I'm not too worried in that regard.

[No, it's a bit more complicated than ending up in a dead-end hellhole, but...]

If you're that sure, then I'd better not let you down. [An almost-teasing flicker to that smile.]

[runeskin]

Not in the same class?

Cittàgazze's not easy, at first, but you get used to it.

[twiceforhim]

Not what she's used to. Generally.

[Sounds familiar.] I can adapt well enough. But that's good to hear. If anything, I just want to make sure that this commitment follows through.

[runeskin]

Mun's never been in danger of dropping me, so far, but she's wavered with a couple of other people in my headspace. It must be a bit nerve-wracking.

[twiceforhim]

It probably depends on the type of game. Have you been there long?

[runeskin]

Since the beginning. It's been an interesting ride so far.

[twiceforhim]

"Interesting" sounds right. [No particular emotion in that statement, either.]

I'll probably find out soon enough.

[runeskin]

[Meja chuckles quietly.]

There has been both good and bad. So far the good outweighs the bad.

[twiceforhim]

That's another theme I hear a lot, game-wise. The premise for this one sounds more tolerable, if I've heard right. [No monthly torture games, like some other places. That's always good.]

[runeskin]

Sometimes muns strand people here to keep them from going home and never coming back, but other than that, nothing extremely bad's happened in quite a while. Well, to everyone at large, anyway.

[twiceforhim]

It sounds as well off as any place can be. Provided you find a way of fitting in and keeping busy.

[runeskin]

There's plenty to do, at least, if you know where to look.

[twiceforhim]

I'll keep that in mind.
