First Cycle

[fightsfortheusers]

I am in need of…a bit of assistance.

I’ve left my system, somehow, and while as fascinating as it is to see the user world I’ve…never left the grid. Noone has, and I would be lying if I stated I wasn’t unsure nor nervous of the potential repercussions. Now, it appears users can contact each other through these devices, is it possible that someone knows of a user Leon? Or Sora, Donald and Goofy? Any help is greatly appreciated.

End of line.

Users? System? The Grid? Well don't you sound interesting.

Sorry to say I haven't seen or met any of those people you mentioned.

My name is Izaya Orihara. What's your name?

Re: [Video]

[fightsfortheusers]

I do? Well...yes, I suppose to a user it all would seem rather alien.

Unfortunate, but I thank you for your assistance.

It's a pleasure to meet you, user Izaya. My name's Tron.

Re: [Video]

[johnnyyongtroll]

A pleasure Tron. So if I'm a User, what does that make you?

Re: [Video]

[fightsfortheusers]

Well, a program of course. TRON-JA-307020 to be precise.

Re: [Video]

[johnnyyongtroll]

Wow. You should fit right in then. This place is called the Digital World. A world completely made of Data.

Re: [Video]

[fightsfortheusers]

So I've discovered, but things here are...different from my system. It's hard to explain unless you've experienced it yourself I suppose.

[johnnyyongtroll]

Those who don't speak; know. Those that do speak; don't know. Simple really.

Re: [Video]

[fightsfortheusers]

I believe I can agree with that logic yes.

Re: [Video]

[johnnyyongtroll]

I'm glad you agree. So then, Tron, what was this Grid you came from like?

Re: [Video]

[fightsfortheusers]

Well, the simplest way to put it is it looks like one giant computer. The clouds are made of circuitboards, the rivers are made of liquid energy, there are giant ships and solar sailors flying through the sky... it's not beautiful, but it's home.

[johnnyyongtroll]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am sure there are those who would find such a world truly beautiful.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... You lost me at "system".

Which is saying quite a bit.

[fightsfortheusers]

I apologize. It is how us programs refer to the innerworkings of a computer.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Huh. So it's a collection of formulae, then, that combine into complex systems.

... Suddenly, this place - where you are now - makes a lot more sense to me.

[itriggerhappy]

Assistance?

[fightsfortheusers]

Yes, please. Have you heard of the location of any of my friends perhaps?

[itriggerhappy]

Identify friends?

[fightsfortheusers]

Identity: Sora, Donald, Goofy, Leon, Cid, Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, Tifa, Merlin.

[itriggerhappy]

Negative. Apologies.

[scrapperzen]

... sounds like you're from a technologically advanced world?

I don't know if I can help, but... It seems to me that you're already starting to adjust. If you've gotten the hang of your D-Comm, you'll want to find a city pretty quickly. Let me give you the data for Neon City. From there, you can probably find a place to set yourself up.

[Attached: Neon City Lightpost Data]

Welcome to the digital world, by the way. I'm Katherine Simmons.

[fightsfortheusers]

I wouldn't say a technologically advanced one. To a human, the easiest way to put it is I live in a computer. I'm a program, a defense and security program.

Ah, thank you, that is most kind of you. My name is Tron.

Would you...happen to have data for the Axyori terminal?

[scrapperzen]

As a matter of fact, I do.

[Attached: Axoryi Lightpost Data]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Tron. It sounds like you've found where you want to go.

[fightsfortheusers]

Thank you very much Katherine.

Yes, I have. My friend Sora is there so I was hoping to rendezvous with him.

[scrapperzen]

Oh, fantastic! It's always easier when someone you know is here.

[itsneverlupus]

...Bruce Boxleitner?

Is that you?

[fightsfortheusers]

I apologize. I believe you have my allocation mixed up with that of another.

[itsneverlupus]

Can I call you Bruce, anyway?

It sounds a lot less impersonal than Tron.

[fightsfortheusers]

But why would you not? It is my allocation. Though, I must say, it is surprising to see someone know it. Is it possible you are acquainted with Sora or Leon? Or...perhaps even Alan-1?

[thewizardsnii]

Congratulations. You traded one computer world for another.

[fightsfortheusers]

So it would seem. They are completely different from each other, however I would be lying if I said the change of scenery wasn't, well, "nice".

[thewizardsnii]

Eh, you know what they say about the grass always being greener and all that.
