MORE NOSY BITCHERY

[screeee.livejournal.com]

So I have some quick questions because I am the nosiest. Also: CR generation why not.

WHERE IS YOUR CHARACTER CURRENTLY LIVING. Which includes which zone they have taken up residence. I imagine a lot are sticking around in the barracks because they're fairly new and the barracks are free, but EVEN SO. MORE CHANCES FOR CR IF YOU RUN INTO YOUR BARRACKS NEIGHBORS AMIRITE?

HOW MANY CREDITS DO THEY HAVE? What did they do to acquire these credits? Hacks? Legit jobs? Organ running?

WHAT OTHER ZONES DO THEY FREQUENT? Do they visit other places? Take walks in the wilderness zones? Swim in the ocean at Zone 13? Chill at the Unicorn Chaser Museum in Residential zone 9? M

Here is the Sing world map for reference.

WHERE IS YOUR CHARACTER CURRENTLY LIVING. Skulking around in the Doctorow systems. (06) He's putting some serious calculations into translating and reproducing Flynn's original layouts. The aspect ratios have to be reconfigured for three-dimensional variable state solid holography, and they can't be anything less than perfect. There's also the small matter of those ridiculous safety protocols...

HOW MANY CREDITS DO THEY HAVE? None. Yet. What is this object-oriented nonsense? Where is his precise, specific procedural code? *s-sob.*

WHAT OTHER ZONES DO THEY FREQUENT? R01, R02 systems (Kurzweil, Hawking); considering R15 (Banks).

*flails back*

So.

Apparently we hang out in all the same zones.

f-flail?

asfdhjlsjka Stop following me. D=

[ooc: pffff, haha I did not plan that I swear. o.o]

flailiness?

[recompiling]

I'm not following you. You stop following me. D:

((OOC: Happy accident? oO))

FLAIIIILLLL...hmmph.

[a_perfect_end]

Well, if I'm not following you, and you're not following me...

Somebody set us up.

[[ooc: it's probably because there's one major gaming hub on the station, and they were both magnetically attracted to its shininess XD XD]]

i see you lookin' smug there, buddy

[recompiling]

... Is someone trying to say we should date, or something?

((OOC: Just like "ooooooo, games... oooooo, LIBRARY 8D"))

what is this smug? his face always looks like this. ALWAYS.

[a_perfect_end]

...Date. Date?

[I think you broke him a tiny bit. XD Processor overheating~ A human would be yanking on their collar uncomfortably. He just paces.]

User ritual involving overpriced item: food, overpriced item: movie. Quality and duration: variable. Outcome: variable.

And I'm out of flowers, man.

((ooc: Lol, pretty much! Although tearing Clu away from his scale models is being difficult.))

permanent smugness! Yesssssss!

[recompiling]

[Anon just watches him pace. Compared to someone thinking he and Abraxas were destined soulmates, this... is not so disturbing.]

I do not require flowers. [They freak him out anyway.] Given other programs from the Grid present, this seems the... least objectionable match.

((OOC: ... the idea of Clu with scale models is kind of adorable. But if he ever gets away from them it would seem he's ridiculously likely to run into Anon!))

he made this face when he first heard the words "perfect system." Stuck. Ever. Since.

[a_perfect_end]

[They are at cross-purposes by definition and no one has ever seen the true face of Anon. Clu's hand is actually scuffing through his hair. Wild discomposure! This is not computing correctly.]

Cool. [Clu's not exactly sure what flowers are, but Flynn's mentioned them before. Context implied they're some sort of bait.

So. He ranks as just barely better than being forcibly infected with pain and death? ...Well, he's heard a lot worse.]

Perhaps a GOTO INPUT 'First date' would establish correct protocol and better define the...situation?

[ooc: Yes, everything has to work perfectly, so there have to be tiny perfect mock-ups first, for the test run! Oh man, they pretty much have to run into each other. Also, edit button for great justice XD]

Didn't Flynn warn you about that kind of thing, man?

[recompiling]

[Anon's face is a special, special thing. He doesn't de-helmet for just anyone. He tilts his head as he watches this scuffing, slightly baffled. He hasn't actually seen you this discomposed in... ever.]

[More that he might be able to make it through a social engagement without attempting to murder you horribly, but the infection thing would be pretty awful too.]

An acceptable hypothesis. Requires testing before confirmation or denial.

Yeees... That's it, design perfectly... Skynet's future architecture will be glad you have prepared for it to exist.

[a_perfect_end]

[Half to himself]

...Symmetry. Must do something about symmetry. It'll be perfect. It will be perfect. Have to fix the--

[Oh, hey, it's that girl with the DoD! Straighten up and look sharp.]

Greetings, #Elizabeth_Anderson.

Architecture? I thought you were in security?

Would you like a job in one of our many fine Public Relations departments?

Sorry, brain surgery is already taken... Thermonuclear weapons, however, have some vacancies, depending upon procurement of available fissile material!

[a_perfect_end]

[Yow! The sarcasm, it burns. What's with this cold shoulder? I thought we had something special.]

...Well, thank you! It certainly sounds--involved.

But I'm not cleared for live-fire tests against civilians.

This makes Terminator ladies saaaaad...

:c

:o don't cry, bb!

[a_perfect_end]

There's still beta testing. So many unforeseen consequences arising from use or intent to use the equipment.

It's a real bummer about all those accidents, too.

TOO LATE DX

Oh... Skynet's associate, GLaDOS, would appreciate the opportunity to interview you for this post.

Goood times.

...GET %tissue RUN ?

[a_perfect_end]

GLaDOS? [You two know each other. No wonder he's busted.]

Honestly, I'm not so sure about...cake...as bait. [Best inference is that "sediment-shaped sediment" is not actually a description of anything edible.] We'll need something shinier.

Soft tissue...

[i_like_your]

GlaDOS.

Shiny cake...?
