[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

Everything is really bright, isn't it? But I do enjoy the way colors look now.
Hello Castor, I'm Ram.

Oh my my~ what have we here? Quite the attire you have there, Ram. My I inquire as to your designation?
The concept of colour is a very interesting experience here. It has such potential, don't you think?

It's my gladiatorial armor, I didn't had much time to change between being derezzed and arriving here. Not like I have any other clothes. [Just the spandex -like suit under the armor, and that's seven more form fitting.] I'm an actuarial program.
What does being a middle-man for Zuse implies? I've never heard of him before. [Ram smiles and his face brighten up.] More than I ever imagined. This place is fascinati8ng.

[Here he's not mentioning his own deresolution. Nasty business, indeed.]
I'm an actuarial program myself, but I have never met two who focus on quite the same algorithms. I'm in the entertainment business, myself. It is Zuse's function to be the most well-informed program on the Grid, and I am the translator from Zuse's mouth to a program's ears. It's quite rewarding, I assure you.
[Oh a friendly one. He likes it when they're friendly]

[Deresolution sucks, he is with you on that. He looks really pinged by the fact Castor is and actuarial program as well.] Are you? I can tell already that you are good at it, you seems to have a way with words.
[That he is, yes.]

Now light tanks. Not many of those in operation anymore. Let's not talk anymore about this derezzing business. You have been re-resolutioned into this world. And amoung new friends. Let's make the best of it, shall we? [smiling]
I prefer a good face-to-face conversation. What do you say?
Reply
[Ram gets over the worrying look quickly. He's still deeply concerned, but that's his problem, and he can put on a happy facade.]No point on dwelling on the past.
[Have a more sincere smile this time.] I would love that, actually. Where are you?

I am at the foot of this building which is apparently my residence: Creeping Crypt.
Reply
I am not there now but I live in the Creeping Crypt too, floor 16th, unit C. Wait for me please, I can arrive there in a few millicycles. I would be faster if I had my light-cycle, but alas, I have not.
Reply
I am 20th Floor, but Unit C as well. However, I will be here at the base of the base of the building enjoying "sunlight".
In the meantime, tell me. Have you met Rinzler?
Reply
I'm on my way. [Ram started to walk, still paying attention to the communicator and Zuse's questions.]
Ah, the sunlight. It's so different form the Grid. [Ram likes it so much.] Zelos told me that we need to be careful with the sunburns too, the sun can damage our skin.
Yes, I did. He explained me a few things, like what is food for. He's a bit strange.
Reply
Rinzler is very dedicated to the new system. Without a doubt, he's the best security Program in the Grid. It's not his fault he's strange. [but more on that later]
I have not met this Zelos. But the Users here seem to be quite welcoming.
Reply
I wonder if he's better than Tron, if someone knows abut dedication that's him.
Zelos's tall, with long red hair and really smart. They really are, it's wonderful. After Flynn, I wasn't sure what to expect. For a User, he was quite the funny one.
[And he's practically there, he wasn't that far away from the building. Ram smiles as he approaches Castor] Greetings, program.
Reply
The Users here are certainly unlike anything I expected, and all the knowledge we can acquire from them is beyond helpful. The bit about sunlight in particular was immediately useful. Best to play the percentages just a little safer at first, don't you think?
[he returns the smile as the obvious program gets closer] Greetings indeed. That little screen does not do you justice. Such a lovely blue.

If you really want to learn a lot about them I will show you the library. Books are a really primitive way to store information, but useful.
[He smiles a bit more sheepishly now. What a flatterer.]Is nothing special. Nice clothes, I never saw a program dressed like this before.
Reply
[Stick around. Zuse'll have all kinds of flattery for you. He bows with a little flourish.] And you won't again. I pride myself on keeping unique and appropriate to my function. It's a different System now than it was. A different world. Oh, how things change as the cycles progress. Style like your classic look went out before my time. Such a pity really.
