[Sora isn’t exactly the greatest with computers. Really, it’s a miracle he’s figured out how to type a message at all, though ‘type’ is a loose term. The hunt and peck may or may not be attributed to suspicion that this little electronic device might eat him ~~like the last one did~~. He's followed along with the whole introduction to the Initiative and doesn't seem to concerned about it - kinda normal for him, really - so he's just inside the housing building trying to figure this piece of junk out.

We're so sorry, Exsilium.]

HEllo?

[It’s at this point that, since it’s clear mashing enter isn’t about to accomplish anything, he’s inspecting the little device, pressing this key and that key and moving the scroll and it’s only by a stroke of luck he discovers (accidentally) the video function. When it comes on, it’s showing an awesome view of… the upper corner of the ceiling. Currently inspecting the underside of the keyboard portion of the device while holding it above his head, he’s muttering to himself.]

What’s this thing even do? It looks kinda small for a computer. [The shot of the ceiling blurs as he shakes it, and then the world turns upside down to show a pair of very bright and very intense blue eyes.]

Oh, now it’s doing something. Uh. Hey, Tron. You in there? Or… another program… guy. Promise I won’t bite. Can you help me out? I’m looking for a friend— See, his name’s Riku and we got separated and then I showed up here. He—

Er. Hello?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Put the communicator down, Sora.

[...Okay, that.

After the past year or two? That was't what he was expecting. Just. Bam, instant Riku. Why couldn't you do that before?]

Riku! So you are here!

[And in... the...

computer...]

[...So it's shaking again.]

Hang on, give me a second and I can get you out!

[ what are you-- ]

Hey--

Put it down, Sora! I'm not in the computer.

Program guy? [ no, kid, why. he doesn't use technology much either because it's so dangerous but.. even he doesn't think little people live inside the wires. ] You're not going to accomplish anything by giving people motion sickness.

[...He's still skeptical about what Riku just said regarding him not being actually in the computer, but. Maybe this guy is the same? Maybe it's a world thing. Either way, he's at least leveling the camera out.] Er. Sorry! This better?

Yeah, program-- I can't remember the word he used. It's a long story.

Much. [ that sunny disposition though, it's good. better than how Nico acted. ] This device is this place's version of a cellphone, I think. Same purpose.

[ Oh that poor computer...

Fayt holds back a wince at all the things that this person could possibly be doing to the computer, trying not to stare for too long or else he'll get dizzy from all the motions. Being from a technological advanced world and seeing how technology is handled in general by some people makes him wonder if there should be a session in teaching the advances or something of the like. But whether people would be interested in that sort of thing, he didn't know yet.

Either way, he waits for things to settle, listening and perking up at the mention of Riku. ]

If no one's told you yet, Riku is here.

[ Though whether it's the same Riku is left to be determined. ]

[The screen is jumping a little but then settling when Sora's face appears again. Really, he's convinced that he can figure it all out if he just looks at it a little more.]

Oh! Yeah. He told me already. I'm gonna see him in a minute.

[...Wait, you know Riku but Sora doesn't know you. Could. Could you possibly be.] --Are you a friend of his?

Oh! Um..

[ Now that's a question he isn't quite sure to answer. Sure he and Riku had spoken with each other after the first mission, him even going so far as to attempt to heal his hand and succeeding to a degree. But could they be considered friends? ]

Well, we've only really talked to each other once but I'd like for us to be friends.

[ pause ] I take it that you're a friend of his, though?

[Osprey is looking at the camera with an unamused sort of look.]

As an instantiated sentient, I find this extremely offensive, just for the record.

[He feels sorry because of the half of that he understood. As for the other half...] As a...

Er. Sorry, what?

'Artificial Intelligence' is the more common term. But seriously. Tron? He's as bad of a stereotype as freaking HAL or GLADos in his own way.

[...oh, why the hell not. He's starting to get bored anyway, he needs something to do. Kill some time.]

Yes I'm a computer.

Good work figuring that out.

Now put me down before I decide to cut your life support system. The results would be excruciating.

[The message takes him a second to process, tilting his head one way and then the other before abruptly jumping and looking around frantically for somewhere to put the thing down. Sadly, this is not being seen.]

AHH

sORRY !!

[The private lock will save you only until Sora ends up showing this to Riku when he claims his computer is trying to kill him.]

It's fine. For now.

But don't mistreat or cross us computers again.

We control the horizontal and the vertical.

We are the alpha and the omega.

[HOW MUCH MORE META CAN HE BE IN ONE TROLLING SESSION

HMMMMMMM]

[exsilium needs to stop bringing kids here-- oh, he mentioned Riku! this immediately catches his attention.]

You a friend of Riku's? I take you've already been contacted by him. [and then a friendly smile. he wonders if this is the kid that voluntarily helps out worlds and goes into comas] Hello, I'm John Watson. I'm sure you must have some questions you want answers to.

Yeah! And yeah, I have! [The one and only! Though he doesn't know about that coma thing...] John, right? Are you a friend of Riku's, too?

--And nah, they filled me in pretty good. Unless there's anything you can think of that the welcome committee skips over.

There's no AI in this communicator, so you can stop trying to talk to it.

Riku's here.

Edited 2012-05-20 00:18 (UTC)

Ah-- Really? But--

[--But someone's sending him text messages and they said they're the computer-- Wait, another thing to hook onto.]

I just talked to him! He's coming down in a minute. You know him, too?
