[here appears a man: white hair, light eyes, pale skin with a strange mark on his forehead, even white clothes with faintly glowing circuits. He's surprising adept with the communication device even after only being in Death City for a very short amount of time. He's grinning ear to ear with a smile that could put the best used car salesman to ( Read more... )

[Have an excited and curious blonde on the feed, Castor]

You're a Program?

Well aren't you the clever one? Yes indeed, my dearie. I am.

That makes three Programs! I'm Rikku.

A pleasure, Rikku. [bows his head to her]

Three? May I inquire after their identity? [nevermind that he's about to meet them in the comments below]

Rinzler was here first, then Ram, and now you.

Oh~ one of them I know. How curious. And how are they treating you? Certain programs can be quite ghastly without proper protocol. And I must say that this world-- quite outside the usual protocol.

I only just met Ram, but he's really nice! And Rinzler's my friend, so he's nice.

[this makes him laugh] Oh, Rinzler's a friend? That's good news, dearie, very good news. I'm glad you've taken to him. He was a working acquaintance of mine, and I must say I could never get through that silent helmet of his. Simply fantastic.

Oh, you know CLU? The guy Rinzler talks about?

[there's a pause here] CLU and I had a business arrangement.

[and pause again] But nothing worth you worrying your pretty head over. Simply a proposal of ideas between programs that means precious little out here.

But enough about my trivial bits. Tell me about your function as a User, Rikku. It's not often one can have a first-encounter where both sides know the lingo.

I only know what Rinzler's told me. [But she's flattered] I don't really have a 'function', though. No User really does. We just do...stuff. Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it just goofing off.

How do you pass the time? Cycle after cycle just "doing stuff"?

Reply

[video] pickinurpockets August 18 2011, 06:44:05 UTC
Yeah, basically. How long's a cycle?

I'm afraid I don't have any external reference quite yet. It's been suggested to me that time passes differently here in the User world.

It does! Uhm...[She glances at a notebook she has, full of Program info] Ram said one milicycle's eight hours for us, and a day's twenty four hours, if that'll help.

[the notebook is visible in the video, and it makes him smile.] Ram provided that information? How interesting. Did he say how he came about that conclusion?

[puts on an exaggerated thoughtful face. As an actuarial program, he does have a bit of a head for numbers. Usually it's in percentages, but he can do this too] If a millicycle is truly 8 hours then a full cycle is 8000 hours. 333.333 24-hour "days". Is the number significant?
