Roy was peddling along the streets of the city, headphones around his neck, blaring the Dubliners at a volume that had a few programs looking at him like his tastes in music were anything but appropriate. He simply grinned, eventually turning it down a bit as he slid them over his ears.

So much had been occurring since he had been here in the Grid - he found his actuaries in good and bad times, found Kevin (that was still a sight imprinted on his brain - Kevin Flynn with white hair, heh) here, helped a kitten that just happened to also be a former security program of Alan's but now this kitten was his own pet... That was something Roy knew he'd eventually have to explain to Alan. But not today.

He continued walking down the streets (the Kinks was now playing), his eyes soon falling on the sight of a flickering street light. Was this really happening? Roy chuckled heartily as he paused the music as he began to walk up to the program working on it.

So oblivious..... "Say, bud...you need some help?"

Clu was onto something now, he just knew it. He gave a very Flynnish half-smirk, half smile as he finally started to zero in on the cause of the glitch. He was only slightly distracted by what sounded like... music? It seemed to be coming from somewhere nearby, but it wasn't quite like any he'd ever heard. Still, he almost had that glitch locked down now; investigating the strange music could wait til he was finished ( ... )

Roy eyeballed the program's face when they met, looked at the circuits...it wasn't Kevin, that was for sure, but he didn't look much like that toy....what was his name?

Clu spoke his petname, his actuary's name as Roy still fought with his brain trying to remember what this guy's name was. "No, no! My name's Roy, not Ram!" he chuckled as he looked at Clu.

CLU! THAT was his name!

This was so weird, really.... he knew about petnames and Kev's ideas of a place he called "the Grid" - but this... this was his counterpart. "You're Clu, but not that one Clu..."

Clu blinked in surprise. So this program wasn't merely a duplicate of Ram? Clu was about to ask if he shared a User with Ram at least, as seemed to be the case, when the other spoke his name, identifying him as Clu, but seemingly aware that he wasn't the infamous sysadmin. Clu was grateful for that- it seemed word of his identity was finally getting around- but something about the way the other said it caused Clu to look him over more throughly. Taking in the strange clothing he was wearing, the device he was carrying, and, nearby, the vehicle he'd apparently arrived on, Clu processed for a moment, the details falling into place ( ... )
