OOC: Flynn has a list. I don't. You know who you are.

[It's not clear where Flynn is right now, but it's indoors, because the glow of the computer readouts hanging in the air around him is pronounced. It doesn't look like the default skin of the wearable interface; Flynn's heavily customized it since arriving. In fact, it looks exactly like the ( Read more... )

Inquiry: location of virus designation: Abraxas?

Will eliminate threat.

[video; 100% encryption, why you gotta be like that, man] theuserabides February 9 2011, 01:22:41 UTC

[Flynn was half expecting something like this, and just shakes his head.]

Negative, buddy. If you de-rez him, Hypatia will just re-rez him. We gotta think laterally on this one.

[video; 100% encryption, it's his turn to throw the rebellious tantrum?] double_discs February 9 2011, 01:32:41 UTC

[He doesn't like the sound of that.]

Confirmed. Directive?

[video; 100% encryption, oh well, I suppose he deserves one after this long.] theuserabides February 9 2011, 01:36:27 UTC

[Flynn dismisses a few windows so that there's nothing between his gaze and Tron except the program's helmet.]

Right now? I want your input. You're my System Security head, man. Analyze the situation for me.

[video; 100% encryption, it was a long time in the coming...] double_discs February 9 2011, 01:49:44 UTC

[...]

Unable to comply. Insufficient data; incompatible directive. Request denied.

Inform when something to destroy.

[And he's gone again.]

[no transmission, Flynn is getting too old for this.] theuserabides February 9 2011, 01:56:00 UTC

[If Flynn hadn't learned patience over a thousand cycles, he might have been tempted to do something drastic. As it is, he just sighs and goes back to work, the familiar old guilt for a companion in the absence of better company.]

[100% encryption to Tron] theuserabides February 9 2011, 03:04:50 UTC

[After a millennium of thinking the program was dead, Flynn can't leave well enough alone. If Tron had warned Flynn to stay away from him, well, he didn't say anything about finding Flynn himself, and there's no part of Flynn that believes Tron could actually hurt him ( ... )

[100% encryption to Tron] double_discs February 9 2011, 03:20:16 UTC

[Tron received the coordinates well over two hours before he finally comes to the decision to find out where they lead. His curiosity became too much to ignore and he finally set out on foot to find the place. Without using the teleporter or any other transportation it would take him even more time to get to the specified location ( ... )

[action] theuserabides February 9 2011, 03:29:53 UTC

[Oh, it's a trap, but nothing physical.

Flynn's far too gone inside himself to notice Tron's approach, which is much quieter than the program thinks it is. Zazen is indescribable, the place where reason and unreason give way simply to being, and Flynn isn't even aware of the passage of time. (His knees are going to pay for it when he gets up.)

Tron has as much time as he wants to study the user sitting there in the night, unless he makes far more noise than he is now.]

[action] double_discs February 9 2011, 04:11:26 UTC

[He simply observed for a long time.

He didn't want to be anywhere near the User--was frustrated that Flynn didn't listen to him again--but couldn't seem to make himself leave. He settled down on his haunches to watch the User from afar for a while.

If there was one thing about this encounter that had Tron very intrigued it was the stillness of the entire situation. He had a hard time staying focused on Flynn just because the User was being so damned still. He had never seen Flynn like this before; Flynn had always been moving, doing, testing something. This...was new.

Eventually the program ran out of patience.

He approached Flynn from the side so as not to be completely rude, but his circuits were still off and he was still moving as quietly as possible (and wincing at the sound of the grass despite the near-silent movement he was making). When he got close enough he gave one indication that he was present: he turned off the silencer written in just for his white noise and rumbled softly at Flynn.]

[action] theuserabides February 9 2011, 04:17:52 UTC

[The noise intrudes on Flynn's lack of consciousness, and he returns to himself, opens his eyes, and looks over and up at Tron. With so long to adjust to the dark, the glow from the circuits in his robe is more than enough for him to make out the indistinct form of the program against the night, and he smiles, the expression lighting his face from within.]

Hello, old friend.

[action] double_discs February 9 2011, 04:32:30 UTC

[The helmeted head cocks to the side as Flynn smiles at him, his body language carefully neutral though a hint of questioning comes through.]

Greetings, Flynn.

[His voice is deadpan yet pitched low as if in some deference.]

[action] theuserabides February 9 2011, 04:39:55 UTC

[The furious thinking Flynn is doing doesn't show behind his genuine gladness to see Tron. He knows he needs to be exquisitely careful, or he'll drive the program away again, and consequences for others be damned, he's not sure he could stand that.]

Thank you for coming.

[action] double_discs February 9 2011, 04:45:19 UTC

[He isn't quite sure how to answer that. He feels no need to welcome Flynn for his trickery and yet cannot entirely blame the User for his being lured here. After all, he could have just ignored the transmission.

He shifts uncomfortably and straightens his head out to revert back to completely neutral.]

Purpose?

[action] theuserabides February 9 2011, 04:55:05 UTC

I wanted to see you.

[Flynn sighs, some of the weight of the long cycles apparent in the gesture.]

I know I'm not listening to you again, but it just hurts too damn much, man. And you've always been really good at making sure I don't suffer for my follies.

[He laughs, and there's even a hint of humor in it, frail and self-deprecating though it is.]

So what's once more? Just like old times, right?

[action] double_discs February 9 2011, 05:04:13 UTC

[A part of Tron picks up on the emotions filtering through Flynn's words and actions and can even understand them to some degree; but another part of him is just lost in the intricacies of the subtle concepts and does not understand the meaning behind emotion at all. The only thing that keeps Tron from turning his back on the User and walking away right this moment is the former half of him that thinks it knows what Flynn is really saying.

But he can't fully understand it and so he is just left to awkwardly rumble in otherwise silence.

After a while he attempts a response. One that ignores most of what Flynn said.]

Acknowledged. Fix your problems for you. Always.

[It's as close to a promise as he's likely to get right now.]
