This is an RP/Practice journal for the mun's fanfic scenario. As such, it is not a "straight" adaptation of Tron 2.0, but one that keeps the events mostly intact, but adds a few tweaks to make it Legacy-compliant. The fanfic in question can be located HERE and is is still a work in progress

I guess I'm the "lucky" one. Both parents still alive and still happily married, even if Mom's a coast away most of the time and she's pretty sick these days. I wasn't quite seven when my godfather upped and vanished, but I've did my best to not think about that topic. I figured there never would be any answers, and maybe he wanted it that way.

Several weeks ago, if you asked me what my biggest worry was, I'd say it was making deadline with that DLC pack we're putting out for Steampunk Arcanum, and trying to find a way to evade my father's attempts to micro-manage my career. But then the incident happened; Pop's kidnapping, me running to the lab, and Ma3a getting it in her processor to shoot me with that laser.

It's an entire universe in there, one we created, but it's beyond us now. Really. It's outgrown us. You know, every time you shut off your computer...do you know what you're doing? Have you ever reformatted a hard drive? Deleted old software? Destroyed an entire universe? I was a programmer. It's all I ever wanted to be. I spent years, day in and day out, manipulating code, writing...

It's too much. It's too much power. No human should have that much power over other sentient life. We can barely take care of ourselves! On the other hand, people like me, we created this universe. We have a responsibility to keep it safe. These Programs - they need Users. They need me...And the more I traveled through the digital world, the more I began to learn about secrets my parents kept from me, and some disturbing hints about what might have happened to Uncle Kevin.

So, if I can't go home, then I'm going to look for the truth. I've seen enough to know won't be pleasant. My other task? Well, if I can't get out of being a User, then I need to learn how to be a good one.
