Does anyone else have a white one? [By now, it's probably obvious what she's referring to, but Quorra gives the Forge a thumbs-up anyway to display the white string tied around it. It's almost luminescent, matching the bright stripes of the circuitry spanning her armor.]

This is a strange User ritual. I'm not sure I understand it. But I am sure ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, mine doesn't match yours.

[She holds up her hand with a little gray string attached.]

But... could I ask you what you mean by User?

Video isoalgorithm June 27 2011, 03:02:19 UTC

[Quorra makes a frowny face and sighs.]

Hmm? Oh. Human. I'm sorry, I keep forgetting not every User knows what a User is. Which is strange, because Users are Users, but then self-awareness is not always self-evident. [She's trying to distract herself from the imminent date conundrum by babbling. It's not working very well.]

...Have you found anyone else matching yours yet?

Video calamitousnaiad June 27 2011, 03:40:44 UTC

If Users are humans and you're not a user, what are you?

[She glances at her string.]

No, not yet. It's quite a strange idea, isn't it? Trying strings to people's fingers so they can find each other?

I'm a program.

The thread of fate that weaves through people's lives and binds them together is not always so visible.

Video calamitousnaiad June 27 2011, 06:06:18 UTC

A computer program?

That's true. Those sorts of thing are so much more complicated. More like a web than just a thread.

Video isoalgorithm June 27 2011, 09:22:05 UTC

Yes. [A bright smile.] My name is Quorra.

A web...And fate is the spider?

[Blink. Well, Hell and Merlin and trolls are real, why not an anthropomorphic computer program?]

Very nice to meet you, Quorra. My name is Verity.

I hope fate isn't a spider! Although it may be an appropriate analogy, really.

It's certainly snared us pretty effectively.

Video calamitousnaiad June 28 2011, 19:08:24 UTC

It seems so. But hopefully it doesn't plan to mummify and eat us.

Video isoalgorithm June 29 2011, 10:07:42 UTC

[Quorra makes a face. As faces go, it's a very expressive one.] That would be unpleasant.

Video calamitousnaiad June 29 2011, 11:36:15 UTC

I should say so. Either literally or metaphorically.

Video isoalgorithm June 29 2011, 16:07:32 UTC

I prefer metaphors, myself. There's more room for interpretation. [She can't help but grin a little; Quorra's always had an odd sense of humor.]

Video calamitousnaiad June 30 2011, 00:19:18 UTC

Yes. And metaphorical fangs don't hurt as badly. [Verity has sometimes been told that her sense of humor is odd too.]

Video isoalgorithm June 30 2011, 03:18:17 UTC

I think that depends on the metaphor, doesn't it? [She laughs.]

Video calamitousnaiad June 30 2011, 05:13:56 UTC

I suppose you're right about that.
