sixth glitch

[perfectisnteasy]

[for once, in CLU's room, everything's silent.

or, well, it would be, if it weren't for the occasional restless shifting.

rustle.

rustle rustle rustle.

to the trained ear, it almost sounds like a small child who can't sit still in the corner for five minutes. because that's pretty much exactly what's going on here, minus the small part and the corner part.

meditation - no matter how good for you your User says it is - IS HARD, people. really, really hard.

rustle rustle.]


Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh, this is stupid. Anyone feel like meetin' me in that gym room and showin' me how all that stuff works? I need to actually move.

[That doesn't prove anything!]

You just look like a guy.

[perfectisnteasy]

[he pulls his disc off his back and activates it, sending a column of blue holographic data flaring up over it. it's very impressive and pretty and scientific-looking]

Only 'cuz I'm coded to. This's my disc. My source code.

[samson]

[Squints...]

That sounds like something you shouldn't keep on a thing somebody can just run off with.

[perfectisnteasy]

Trust me, I'd never let anyone "just run off" with it.

[seriously. try him.]

[samson]

What, you don't sleep? Or ever turn your back on it?

[perfectisnteasy]

Programs don't need to sleep, no. And it's usually either on my back or in my hand - so I'd know if someone tried to take it.

[samson]

Why in your hand, though? Wouldn't it make sense if it was, like, literally a part of you? [Whoever built you was a moron, is the implication.]

[perfectisnteasy]

It is a part of me, it's still part of the same code. Just because it doesn't look like it's attached to me doesn't mean it isn't.

[that's not how code works, not in the Grid]

[samson]

No, I mean, like. A thing you can't remove, or whatever. Seems to work for ... regular people ... [You usually don't throw your heart around like a Frisbee is what he is saying ...]

[perfectisnteasy]

Because that's the way it's always been. Even in the original system, we had discs.

[samson]

I'm just saying. [IT'S DUMB, that's what he is saying.]

So, what, is everybody really into DayGlo where you come from or something?

[perfectisnteasy]

[YOUR FACE IS DUMB and your watch is inefficient]

... Into what, now? [still casual, but really, he's starting to get a little annoyed by the way this guy is ... questioning every single thing about him]

[samson]

[excuse u, his watch is an example of the finest in modern super-science technology!!!]

Never mind.

It's been super cool looking at your glowing Frisbee, but I'm gonna go.

[still convinced this guy is just a crazy, but what can you do...]

[perfectisnteasy]

[no skin off his back, man - CLU why are you so bad at interacting with people. WHY]

Arright.

[samson]

[IT'S OKAY Brock isn't great at it either. BYE, BRO......]
