Cam, like most other reasonable people, has been appreciating this in the ways sie knows how to do so - namely, sitting outside in the sunset. Sie's found hirself a nice spot near the center of town, set up a picnic blanket, and taken a seat there with a few

I think have discussed this already, actually.

[kissdiet]

Oh, Gem... yes, we did - your people exist in a world called the "Grid" within the human world's electronics.

[survivethesiren]

Yes, exactly.

[kissdiet]

I confess I still don't quite understand how that... works. A world within a world?

[survivethesiren]

I am sadly not the Program to explain it--I am a basic, without full understanding.

But yes, a world within a world.

[kissdiet]

[A basic...?] Your people are known as Programs, then?

[survivethesiren]

Yes we are. Users are the people who use us...or create us.

[kissdiet]

[...Use?]

Could you... explain further?

[survivethesiren]

Which part?

[kissdiet]

["All of it"]

You make it sound as if your people are... tools, of some sort?

[survivethesiren]

We are, in a way. As most people do not know we are...alive, in a way, they simply use us.

[kissdiet]

...And that is the norm? [This tone is vaguely horrified]

[survivethesiren]

Yes.

...why are you concerned?

[kissdiet]

Because that's... your whole people are subjugated like that? I suppose if it's normal then it might not seem it but isn't that - all peoples should have a right of self-determination.

[survivethesiren]

[She suddenly sounds very pleased.]

That is how I feel, as well.

[kissdiet]

...Ah. In that case, I hope you might overthrow those "Users" soon.
