[All the camera shows is Yori's face and a fall of loosely curled blonde hair; she looks brisk and businesslike.]
If this is Flynn's new system, he has got to work on his coding. Does anyone know where I can find an I/O tower? Or-- [She falters, just a fraction.]
Tron? Are you here?
[A hopeful smile, flickering back to friendly neutrality ( Read more... )

...Um. So, I guess you're a friend of Rin-- I mean...Tron's?
[ Catching himself, there, and saying the name pretty quietly. Oh man, this can't be good. ]

Yes, I've known Tron almost since he was compiled. We've been companions for cycles. My name is Yori.
Is this Flynn's system? It isn't what I expected at all.

[ Houston, we have a problem. ]
This isn't Flynn's system. It's not any system at all, it's...um...complicated. This place calls itself "Abax", and it's a really weird city? Erm, like I said. It's complicated.
Yori-san, are you in the morgue---uhhh, I mean hospital still? W-Where you woke up? Because this is going to take some explaining, and...well. You'll need some clothes, and shoes, and stuff.
[ Oh, yeah. Shaking his head a little, and frowning at the camera. Then...well, even going so far as to give an awkward little nod at it. ]
I'm Kurosaki Ichigo. Or, well, you can call me Ichigo if you want.

[She shifts a little, and the strange material confining her rustles with the movement. At least it isn't charged.]
I didn't want to bring Security down on me before I understood the system.
[That's a long name to have no recognizable numeric code in it. And she doesn't recognize the extra syllable added on her own name, either. Strange customs here. She'll have to hope they're understanding of a newcomer's foreign syntax.]
It's very kind of you to offer help, and I could definitely use the explanation. How do I rez in proper armor in this...city?

Oh, jeez! That's not a quarantine-- um.
[ Sliding a hand through his hair, and looking more out of his depth by the second, here. ]
Listen. Yori-san, this isn't a computer. Okay? It's not...aw crap, what's that word again...a grid? It's something like the human world. Only not. Er, it's complicated, like I said.
And I have no idea how 'armor' works for you, but if you don't have it on you, then...well, I don't know. It might have gotten taken.

How do I change what I wear if I can't access energy from a system point or rez in armor or a uniform or at least one of my own designs?
And if it isn't a quarantine, will anyone be upset if I break it? There's a structural instability on the top, so I think I can get out without needing to damage it too badly.

[ Okay. This is a little strange, but Ichigo is wracking his brain, trying to remember anything Quorra, or Rinzler said ( in his texting way ) about their world. ]
Uh...Yori-san, I think you should know that this place - Abax - is closer to the human world than your grid-world. Um...I think you call people like me a 'user'? Unless that's an insult in which case-- Er, nevermind.
[ AHEM. ]
I can bring you some clothes, and some shoes, but that's all we've got here. All our stuff gets taken when we first end up in that hospital-pace you're in right now, see. B-But don't worry! If you need some help, I can come and bring you some stuff?

I'd appreciate the help. Thank you.

But, stay there for a few minutes, I'll...uh, just get some stuff, and come meet you.
[ And click! Hanging up ( possibly a little rudely ) to go beg the help of his girlfriend, and bring you some usable clothes, Yori. ]
