Who: Ram, anyone
Where: on the light-train, somewhere between Sectors 85 and 274
What: /brb asking the same thing myself
Warnings: none?
The influx of new programs and ISOs, the growing horde of duplicates, and the steady growth of housing and services needed to accommodate them all had kept Stats hopping since the Portal opened. There were rumors that a couple of new programs would be assigned soon, cutting down the workload, but Ram had heard nothing definite and in the meantime his division was pulling regular triple shifts just to keep the numbers balanced.
The actuarial program didn't mind that much. It was necessary work, plotting and managing energy trends for the whole city, ensuring that nobody was left with a shortage or a surplus too powerful to handle. He grinned every time he passed a new tower slowly growing into the infrastructure, feeling as though he'd had a part in the amazing new world they were all creating together. Still, there was no denying that the latest shift had left him without the usual spring in his step, and as he elected to take the light-train home rather than his 'cycle or his feet, he reflected tiredly that it was lucky there were only a few stops to his own sector.
A hundred stops or so later, he was still in the compartment, an unobtrusive figure curled in a corner seat, eyes closed, mouth slightly open, cheek pressed against the translucent window, enjoying a downcycle that would probably have been a lot more restful if it had waited until he'd gotten home.
[[Yep, Ram's totally conked out on the train. :D Have fun waking him up.~ This is a silly, light-hearted thing to bridge the gap until I'm ready to really jump back in again. *eyeing all your recent posts<3* Just another few days, I hope!]]
