One thing ive learned in life...bad ideas make good stories.

[Ram's not exactly looking like his usual self. It's not just the suit color and circuits what seems the be all wrong, but his general demeanor.]

If you're expecting any sort of gratitude for this you will die waiting, user.

This is just something else to add to your long list of bad decisions.

[Tron doesn't reply, text or otherwise, to Ram's barb. It's not untrue.]

Clu made his own choices. We aren't locked to our makers that tightly.

Did you have a fight with your User or something?

[Blaming it all on Flynn lets Clu off the hook. Clu's the last program to be getting away with that kind of crap. It's odd to see this much bitterness coming from Ram. You were always the most optimistic one.]

[nomoremrniceguy]

[Ram smirks at that. It looks nothing like his usually good natured smile. His expression is more cynic, but he does look amused.] Oh, I know that now. Small compensations.

[At the mention of his user the amused look is dropped and gone in seconds.] Should I even be talking to him?

[Ram doesn't know CLU, and even if he can tell that the program was as nuts as the MCP he still blames it all on the user who created him. Not anymore, sadly.]

[ja307020]

Being passive-aggressive never suited you. And I can tell you that if you let it fester, you're just setting yourself up for madness.

You might as well inform him you're not taking his directives anymore, at least. Saves having to try and ignore the call.

[Tron punctuates it with a shrug. In the end it's Ram's choice.]

[nomoremrniceguy]

And, on the other hand, your lack of tact is not new. What's it tor you? It's not like you ever really cared. Your mission was always the only thing that ever mean anything to you. The rest, we all, were expendable. I don't recall asking your for advice, so cut it off.

[And he's going to choose the hard way, because he's tired of playing nice and he's too angry with Roy to choose diferently.] I don't own him anything. He ignored me for more than 200 cycles, is not like he will notice this.

[ja307020]

[Tact is for losers. This, though is important enough that Tron derezzes the helmet finally so Ram can see him frowning.]

Not true.

[nomoremrniceguy]

[Watch out, we have a badass over there Ram''s face doesn't change.]

I elaborate hypothesis and possible scenarios, Tron. That's why I was so good at my job, analyzing is an important part of my programing. In light of recent events, meaning you leaving us behind, I can confirm that your didn't care enough to stop and check if we needed your help.

I will ruin the surprise and tell you that yes, we needed you. I needed you. [The sarcastic tone was back.] But not anymore.

[ja307020]

[Yeah, because having all those tanks and things hot on your tail is really conducive to turning around, Ram.]

Missing variables. Believe what you want.

[Ram's words strike, draw a pained expression from Tron. Not to mention a complete sentence. He turns to go, since this accomplishes nothing.]

[nomoremrniceguy]

[Details. You could have avoided them somehow. Even Flynn did it, and Ram already established that Flynn was mostly useless.]

Don't worry, I'm done believing. [Ram watches him go, and only huffs, snarking coldly.] Now, that's a familiar sight. Your back as you walk away.
