001: Welcome to the User world

[fight4theusers]

[Out in the forest, a man... no, a program has come back to awareness, and is currently staring up at the sky, completely mesmerized by the glowing object peeking through the tall structures around him. His fingers curl in the dirt beneath him, and he glances down, curious, picking up a handful of the brown, loamy substance, mixed with something

Land...of the users?

You're in a place called Luceti.

[fight4theusers]

Luceti...? Is that a new system?

[honorthecode]

No it's not a new system, it's the world you're in now.

[fight4theusers]

I... see. [He doesn't. At all.] How did I get here? Was it the portal?

...who are you? [He's staring at the small picture with curiosity now. This doesn't look like any sort of program he's ever seen.]

Users...?

[Voice]

[fight4theusers]

Yes. Those who create programs and direct our purpose. I have heard stories of their world, but... I never imagined it to be like this.

[Voice]

[suitedforcoffee]

...You're a program.

[There's some small incredulity in his voice, but, well, it's not the weirdest thing he's seen.]

This is...not exactly a normal world, but it's close enough for direct comparison.

I am a security program developed by the user Alan-1, yes. My designation is Tron.

So this is at least something like the User world, then. It is... very strange. And cold.

...are you a User?

[redsynonymhere]

If you tell me what a User is, I can answer your question.

[fight4theusers]

A User is one who creates programs and directs their purpose. I have heard stories of their world, and this seems... similar to what Flynn spoke about. He never mentioned wings, though.

[redsynonymhere]

I do not think I understood any of that. But if you have never seen this kind of world, it must feel weird for you.

[fight4theusers]

That is correct. I have never seen anything like this... that bright object in the sky, that is... the sun?

[knighted_lion]

...Users?

[fight4theusers]

Yes, those who create programs and direct our actions. [Tron's received enough answers that he's pretty certain that this is at least some version of the User world, if not the one Flynn was from. Perhaps a different system, if that is applicable?] I understand now that this is... not the User world I should have expected, but it is something like it. Correct?

[knighted_lion]

[Luckily, Squall knows enough about computers to pick up what Tron's on about.]

Right.

[fight4theusers]

I take it... you are not a User, then, if you do not know of them.
