W-wait! You said that I would never have to experience the Purge! That no version of me would ever have to experience the Purge. Why are you changing your mind about that now?! I mean, wasn't the stuff you did to me over the course of the game bad enough? The rogue User, the thugs in the streets after the bombings, the affects of the connection with the poisoned Sea, the impending identity crisis. All of those things should have filled the quota for terrible things to do to one person!

Please. I don't want me - any me - to witness the Purge first hand. Especially not in the way you are thinking of writing it. Please.

....You do know you haven't killed him, don't you?

Chin up. He'll be fine in your ficspace, and I'd appreciate it if you'd let me in there for half a millicycle to get those two half-written accounts out of limbo and on the web where they belong.

[pause]

..Thank you, though, for leaving me here for the time being. I wouldn't want to leave the End of Line in the hands of just anyone who might come along.

[especially some programs in particular. that's how many times it's been blown up now?]

namesram

Yeah. Look, I... I saw the curve too; you don't have to explain anything. [swallows] Pretty sure it's what he'd want. [because it's what Ram would do too, if stepping back would mean other folks in the headspace would have more room to move.]

Don't fret about it. I'll be okay. I'll miss him, but nothing lasts forever.

manwhowaited

You're sure you want to do this, Mun? Things . . . didn't go so well, last time. I hurt some of the people who were most important to me. I screwed up. I pulled Flynn's trick of thinking that if I can't think of it, neither can anyone else.

I have to try. I need to apologise, and at least try to get it right. Remember who I am, Mun. I'm not giving up, and I won't let you do so either.

Get me back into the game. We have work to do.

namesram

I know, I didn't expect it either.

Don't worry, okay? It's getting better. I think we made it.

Thanks for sticking with me.~ It's not gonna be so rough anymore.

There's a lot of details and it'll take a lot of recalculating, but that's what we're all here for, right? You take care of you, and that'll make things better for the rest of us too. I mean, how many times do we keep telling people that? And I know you don't want to lose sight of anything, but don't overclock. This is all going to be a net positive in the end.

And that goes for all the other muns, too. We're all in this together. [hugs for everyone. you are all so amazing you don't even know.<3]

Go make those phone calls and then we can talk to Cantus. And then I'll get out of the way for that one other thing. ;)

Starting over with a clean slate, huh? Guess I can't blame you. The poor thing was pretty broken there at the end, and I know better than most that sometimes despite your best efforts it is more merciful to let someone die than to let them linger in constant suffering. It sucks, but it's the truth. That said, please tell me that my predecessor did not leave me with a bunch of chronically troublesome patients. I'll have enough headaches trying to keep Security from absconding with my assistant and my media library like they are shiny toys to be played with.

...I'm going to go through a lot of my special energy blend, aren't I?

walkedaway

So, you are thinking about going down these two roads again and are tempted to bring myself and, uh, that other version of me back into the game. Alright. I've got some unfinished business there so I guess I can't complain too much, and I can more or less fend for myself. ~~Stop laughing, I am perfectly capable of surviving there on my own if I need to.~~ But the kid? The kid would be in way over his head. He didn't even have the benefit of having listened to D-...to his stories about the Grid, seeing that he lost his dad when he was just a toddler and he only has a mom in his timeline. You aren't seriously thinking about dumping him headfirst into a setting like the Grid with no kind of preparation, are you?

...oh, right. This is you we are talking about, and you have already done something like that twice.

Guess we will just have to be happy that you are too bogged down with other tags to do anything with us in the immediate future.

reinvented

Yes, yes, darling, you have my attention, but do make this quick. As much as I would love to stay and share in the latest gossip I am afraid that my task list is growing larger even as we speak. Word on the street is that tensions are on the rise in this new system you are contemplating making my new home. Surely the programs there would appreciate a taste of the old wholesome entertainment the End of Line brought them in the old cycles before things went...

Well, we will not talk of such things.

As I understand it my dear brother Eckert has reclaimed the club in the absence of yours truly. Excellent, excellent. It is in good, capable hands, then. Let us hope that he is willing to forgive my, ah, loss of integrity, shall we say, in my latter cycles, and will welcome me back. The club always did perform better when it had both of us at the helm...

Now, you have things you should be doing, yes? Run along and take care of them. I will still be in the area when you finish.

updateit

Guess this means I can to look forward to a bit of, ah, scrutiny from most of Security now, huh? Oh well; a little good natured harassment from well meaning programs is a small price to pay for getting to spend the rest of my runtime with Anon. Yes, I know that is "sappy and corny as hell", but you can stop making that face now. Think of it as payback for making us wait a full year before you and Anon's User got your Bits in a row and got the ball rolling so that we can be together in-game. I do hope that you two aren't planning on spending another year on the courting stage before we get to actually admit our feelings.

...and hopefully Beta warms up to Anon before too much longer. I really don't need to worry about protecting him from a jealously protective Bit every time the two of us are in the same room together.

I'll have a hard enough time trying to convince Security that I worthy of dating their Chief so that they lay off the glaring and pranks. And trying to escape Gibson's trolling if he shows up.

neverminder

Will you stop fretting about my voice? At least you know that I have one.

Wouldn't complain if you finished that account of yours, either. Lep's a null-wit but he's our null-wit and I need to know what they're going to do with him. ~~[frowns] We were all supposed to be on the same side.~~

I'm not going.

[But it's the Grid, Exim. Home.]

I don't care. If Trace is there, good. If Tron is- is functioning there, fine. But the Sys Admin is there. So no. I will not go, User. And you can't force runtime on this one.

[Wanna bet?]

...Tch.

Well, well, well. You actually finally put me into a solid state of being...well okay as much as can be considering I am a program. That's not the point I'm here and there are places where the wire is likely jumping and hot with news to find and use. You even found a way to stop worrying about that whole binary set roles in regards to user classification of gender.

Sure leaving my system is not exactly a great idea, especially considering how Brick and Derlete are likely to put on the bracelets if they find me for pulling a sudden transfer out of the system, but it'll be fun! New programs to meet and greet, and learn their definitions and what they would do in my system is just what I was made for. Sure the amount of Droppers roaming about in that place is a bit daunting, but no one said I would actually have to fight one on one, or even fight fairly if they don't want me to go about peacefully on my business.

Ya, no one from my system will be there and I'll have to recharge lightly and in small increments until I know I won't get deleted suddenly. It's a training exercise if you think about it, without the safety of a simulation is all. It will help you as well since you're still fine tuning my entire being as we go, and what better way then in the thick of things to see what will work and what won't? My core is there and solid, it's just the extras and definitions left.

So stop stalling the engine on this here.

breaksthelandscape

Wait, wait, wait. You transferred me to a new system...while I am the unwitting carrier of a virus. Great. What next?

[He is still new enough to not know that asking that question is dangerous business.]

unpurged

Thank you. I'm glad you didn't forget just because you got busy and picked up a couple of newbies.

updateit

[He thought that being found near death in-game by one of his best (and only) friends was going to be the worst thing to happen this week. He was wrong, and he does not even try to keep his distress hidden despite trying to sound positive.]

It will be alright, User. Things will work out in the end. As power hungry as he is, he will get what is coming to him.

[That being said Drive is just going to pluck his two Bits from the air and keep them extra close for ~~forever~~ now. And, for once, Alpha and Beta aren't even going to argue about their sudden lack of freedom.]

unpurged

So, you posted the big reveal (finally) and nobody commented. Isn't that a good thing? It means they don't think it's weird! Or at least not any weirder than what you usually come up with.

And maybe it just means they haven't noticed yet, but that's fine too, because it means we can actually finally get into the game, right? Not right now obviously, but maybe this weekend? You don't have any other plans, except for tomorrow, but that doesn't count.

keller_p4d

I'm sorry, user. I said I wanted to start over, not offer myself up as some new system's scapegoat. And don't pretend this would end differently—I've seen how your experiments tend to run.

You know my function, and you know my work. Now take another look at that mess and tell me again how I'm supposed to fit in?

generalissimo

Don't I have enough problems!??

[folds arms over chest and frowns. Britt is not a happy camper.]

My dear mun, I realise that you like to plan certain RP things out in advance; as a communications program, I understand the value of proper organisation. What I don't understand is why you keep making excuses for keeping me dead.

[frown turns to a pained look, his tone pleading]

Can't you just...let me rezz in for the party? I have no compunctions about stumbling into the middle of it blindly, really; I can always meet Clu and Esme later. I'm sick of sitting in the musespace while you stomp all over Kato's emotions. Have a heart, will ya?

....please?

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.
