"Excuse me, User. Where am I?"

EWAN turned towards the men behind him, curious as to where he ended up.

"A-am I in the User World? I think I am; did it work? Did I make it across?" he asked frantically, hoping not for failure. All his questions were answered with were swift hostility.

"Who are you?! How did you get in here?! What do you think you're doing?" the group of men asked, motioning closer, ready for apprehension.

"I'm EWAN, I'm a program for the KaibaCorp maintainance systems. I come from The Grid; I must be in the User World," EWAN proclaimed hastily.

His eagerness, though, was met with puzzlement. The group huddled by the door just exchanged looks of confusion, but immediately turned from confusion back to apprehension as they advanced more towards the confused program. As they all attempted to grab him EWAN, he backed away, but not before having his arm caught. The man who grabbed him began to try subduing him, pulling it down to pin it behind his back.

"Wait-what're you doing?" he cried as his face met the cold floor. They'd got him to the floor only for larger security to come in ready to take him wherever.

This wasn't the first time he'd been in this position, and after emulating many a new program to a system not yet recognizing him, he became proficient in escaping capture. He was able to roll onto his back to kick his captor away. Back on his feet he made a bee-line for the door, evading the awaiting arms of the security guards with swift turns and contortions. Outside, the hallway began to fill with sounds of a siren and soon people. His feet clattered on the floor as he sped down the hall with a crowd of security after him; they couldn't catch up to him, though, before he dove into the lift and with a swift push of a button he began to descend. EWAN deflated with a sigh as he believed he would be able to continue searching for his main user.

Ding! The doors slid open only to reveal even larger guards ready to snatch him. It did catch him by surprise, but he'd leapt over larger things. He readied himself and pounced, grabbing their shoulders to launch him over their heads. Beyond them was the lobby and main building doors. Almost to the door and he'd be home free. EWAN couldn't stop himself in time, though; as he burst through the door only to be blocked by the big man himself. Kaiba's coat fluttered as they both crashed to the ground.

"UGH! Get off me! Do you know who you just ran into?!" he demanded, pushing EWAN away so he could get up. "Who're you and why are you running?"

"I-I…Wait, are you BlueEyesCEO?" EWAN asked with an open hand to help the tall brunette to his feet.

"Yeah I'm-hey. How do you know my username? Have you been stealing KaibaCorp secrets? You better not be some hacker," Kaiba growled, grabbing his would-be assailant. "What are you doing here?"

"It's you! It's really you! Oh I've been waiting to meet you since you'd created me! I'm EWAN," he declared with a sudden hug to his Maker. "I'm the emulator you created to make everything you need at KaibaCorp work from anywhere you need! I-" he rambled before being shoved away. This was confusing for him; he didn't know anything about The User World, but he always understood that hugs were to either be reciprocated or at the very least not met with hostility.

"I don't understand. Have I done something in error?"

"No one hugs me, and surely not a hacker trying to steal from my company! Security! Get this thief and hold him til the cops arrive!"

He wasn't sure what else to do, so EWAN turned to run from the men that had been still in pursuit of him. His legs about tripped him up on his way down the stairs but he was able to reach the bottom so he could sprint across the lot and away from the guards. He was able to make plenty of ground between them before he was able to make a turn around the block behind a building and into a tree. All he could do was keep quiet while they looked until they eventually gave up and returned to the tower. He began his decent, but misjudged the last branch's location and tumbled out of the tree with a thud. Along the sidewalk a group of four strolled by to the building nearby. They jumped at the sight of the man crashing to the ground. The smallest took to action and went to see who it was.

"Hey! Are you okay?" he asked the now tangled mess of a man on the grass. He extended his hand to help EWAN up, the program easily towering over the short helper; of course, the black, red and blonde spiked hair didn't help very much.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't think actual turf was so hard. At least I didn't get glitched through the ground like that one time…" EWAN assured but began to trail off. The four that stopped just exchanged confused looks with each other, the blonde of the group twirling his finger by his ear thinking EWAN might have hit his head a little too hard. The others just assumed he was cosplaying something, based on his phrasing and choice of black and blue-circuited garb.

"Thank you, users. I am an Emulator without a Name, my Maker acronyms me as EWAN. What does everyone call you?"

"That's…kind of a weird name, but I'm Yugi. Nice to meet you, Ewan, was it?"

"The name's Tristin."

"I'm Tea, are you knew to Domino City?"

"Name's Joey; good ta meet'cha!"

EWAN nodded in greeting, "Actually I am new to this sector 'Domino City'. I come from The Grid. I actually am new to The User World all together, so I am not accustomed to User behaviour or traditions. I am quite eager, though, to learn all I can-I mostly want to see all of The User World that I can."

"We dunno what you're talkin' about with this 'Grid' thing, but we were just about to head in Yugi's place for a few things if you wanna chat," Joey offered. Everyone else was thinking this cosplayer was really into character, so they just let it be. EWAN eagerly nodded as he followed the group to the building the tree was right next to.

'Wow, these are other Users, it looks like there are many more of them than the 50 I know from The Grid. Wish there was a way to show this to RCE. I wonder what these Users will show me about this world' he thought as he trailed inside Grandpa's Game Shop with the others.
