second glitch
[anyone listening to the journal today might pick up a very steady, consistent sound, almost like a metronome:
flip.
flip.
flip.
flip.
at odd intervals, there'll be a soft thud, a scrape, and then the flipping continues. anyone who ventures onto the second floor of the library will find the source of the sound: CLU seated at a table, behind a MASSIVE pile of books. there's a tall glass of some sort of glowing, blue liquid off to one side, but other than that, it's just him and the books.
to the uninitiated, it'll look like he's not even reading. he just turns a page, blinks, and repeats the process ad nauseam. but he's definitely reading, scanning each page and its contents quickly before moving on. occasionally, if a spread is dense with text, or a concept it details is completely foreign to him, he'll pause a moment before turning the page. but for the most part, he just. keeps. going. after he finishes one book in particular, he stops, and scowls down at the journal]
[he's careful to keep his tone light, though, because That Is How You Make Friends And Influence People.] These are the most inefficient systems. I don't see how any of you can cope. Don't you get impatient?

You're welcome. Figured out your loss yet?

[yep, there's a little pointed emphasis there. someone's been reading his journal, particularly the things that pertain to his new "friends"]

Didn't think you were the social type.

Or considering anyone utterly powerless, for that matter. If there really weren't any powers, there wouldn't be any point. And clearly, there's still a point. Or we wouldn't be here. It ain't end of line yet, man.

Glad to see you're so confident! Tell me, how have you heard about the First-Gens yet?
Hank Henshaw
[oh yes, and did he mention he knows how to use your little filters, too? he's a fast learner, our CLU]
CLU
Then I assume you know what an annoying obstacle they can be.
Hank Henshaw, to end

Did I look the same as I do now? Odd question, I know, but humor me. [he's read enough about timelines and such by now that he's curious as to whether everyone dealt with version 1.0 or ... well, him.]

okay we're fine]
Huh. Go figure. So, hey, if I can't find this book -- mind if I take a look at yours?
