Shades of MCP Red

(or: PMS, the Power Management System)

Just had a chat between friends where we concluded that:

1. software updates are the Program equivalent of getting your period.

2. (buggy updates are like a real bad endometriosis period)

3. this means all programs get it, so Yori not only has to deal with her own period, she also has to comfort Tron when he’s on his

4. Yori is good at comforting. that gesture she does to Flynn on the solar sailer, with hands on his face, is a way of sharing/stabilizing energy

5. MCP would similarly try and comfort Sark, EXCEPT that MCP is pretty much ALWAYS on his period and having the worst one ever

6. This is 100% his fault because he is always dissecting and devouring other programs and thus keeps himself in a constant state of “updating”

7. the conversation ended when I said “it’s so much better for programs who have light cycles” and I don’t think I will ever again have a whole conversation set up a joke for me so perfectly
