Mun just saw Terminal.

Go to sleep. You need to be awake in five hours! We can talk about it tomorrow, okay? You had a plan!

But with the way things were going I didn't expect that either.

[proud. fierce. smile.

Tron lives. :') ]

Hey, Ram. What's up?

[dancing_shepherd]

[Hurd wishes she could celebrate this with you, Ram. Oh Users, how she wishes she could. Seeing Tron like that, again, her commanding officer that she'd have followed anywhere...she can't deny how it brought her own feelings surging back up.]

[But...]

In a better world [she refuses to use the word "perfect"] it would have gone on from there. We would have had our leader back.

But we both know how this ends.

[namesram]

[wry, sad smile -- in a better world, Clu would have been stopped before this whole mess started. no disputing that. but this is the commanding officer that Ram would (and had) followed anywhere too, and. just.]

Yeah... believe me, I know. [gentle hand on her arm] But every day it didn't happen yet is a net gain, no matter what comes later.

[also did you see him? you did, didn't you? \o/ \o/ \o/ he smiled.]

We did get him back. Even if it was just for a little while, I'll take it.

[namesram]

Hey, Flynn! Not much; what's up with you?

[dancing_shepherd]

[And then Hurd does smile, in spite of herself. Because she did see. Dammit, Ram, you make it awfully hard to stay bitter and jaded, you little glitch.]

...Yeah. I'll take it too.

I hope those kids find their way to us. They'll always have a place here.

[namesram]

[he's totally not sorry and he'll do it again.<3

grins more, because smiles! ^_____^]

So do I! Have you met the one we've got already? I really need to look him up and say hi.

[dancing_shepherd]

[The smile doesn't fade. It feels good to smile again. She used to do it a lot back in the day, even had a reputation for it at Security. It was one of the things Eckert liked about her.]

I haven't, alas. My User's been letting me languish in a corner and between you and me I've just about had enough of her. [That gets an annoyed eyetwitch out of her.]

I definitely look forward to it, though. I'll be keeping a watch for him at the End of Line.

[namesram]

[It's one of the things everybody likes about her, and Ram's glad to see it back. ^____^]

She'll come around eventually. They always do. I want to meet you too, when things settle down!
