Wait a second.

I came to the library, saw these computers here, and out of curiosity’s sake tried to get the internet only to realize there isn’t one.

No yahoo. No Facebook. …WHAT AM I GOING TO WITHOUT FARMVILLE? MY CROPS ARE WITHERING AND YOU COULDN’T CARE LESS!!!

My virtual pets are going to get all dirty and pack up house to go over to one of my neighbors. My Sims are going to grow as weary and depressed as some of the folk I’ve passed in the halls here—and certainly that silver haired guy I’m rooming with. Wow. Talk about needing a little passive to mute out the aggressive! Swore he was staring daggers at me one night as I lay in bed.

Never. Again.

Oh.

I guess hearing that the world didn’t explode would be a perk of having a functioning social networking site, sure. Even CNN would’a been nice.

Can someone help a guy out? Any techies? Come on please?

[THIS'LL TAKE A BIT'VE TIME LIKELY A FEW MINUTES OF NO RESPONSE BEFORE ANY SIGN OF HIM TYPING AGAIN, FAIR WARNING THURR]

if I'd known you were even around I would've been even quieter about being around.
why of all people did you have to show up here???

[doeswindythings.livejournal.com]

But who would be on the other side of the computer? [ John, meet John. ]

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

...

I would certainly hope other people. [Duh.] I'm what you'd call an optimist. Some people seem like they've been here longer. Heck I could have been on the other side of the computer for the likes of them.

Oh. Or cockroaches. Super developed cockroaches riding twinkies. Call it an end of the world vision I've been having for quite some time.

[doeswindythings.livejournal.com]

...okay, the sheer awesome of that would definitely lessen the blow of an apocalypse.

Unfortunately, having no world means no internet. We learn to adjust.

You sound like a laaady. Hello, lady person. [there's a pause in typing as he's preening himself for an enticing conversation with some faceless ladyfolk. Just like prom all over again.] So what, you honestly believe there's nothing out there? Then where are we?

TEXT

[pineandmaple.livejournal.com]

That may be because I am.

I don't know honestly, but there is certainly no internet. On the bright side, if the world is destroyed, your friends sims and farms are in just as bad shape.

[When the camera turns on, there's an elf girl looking back at JD-- she doesn't seem to have a very good grasp on what she's doing, either.]

Oh... I am sorry about all of the things that seem to be going wrong. None of that sounds pleasant.

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

Woah. Not to seem rude as you seem quite nice, but those are some very impressive ears.

I tried to be an elf once for a staff Halloween party once. After the Lord of the Rings came out I wanted to try to see how many compliments I could get by dressing up as Legolas.

Long story short it didn't work out. [JD's stories are never short, even when abbreviated. Apologies for the derp.] ...They aren't real, are they?

[text] feel free to let me know if I should drop the formatting for her text

[timegame.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's fine! <3

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

Aw, but I put so much into them. It doesn't matter if nobody else was there. :(

Besides that, it could be fun. There's plenty of people that could use some innocent fun. This place is actually pretty scary but I'm used to unpleasant things. My roomie ain' no thaaaaang, stranger! My mentor's rather gruff himself. I could just use a little less death glares while laying in bed at night. Hm...

Who are you anyway? I'm JD. Pretty new here. Nice to 'meet' you.

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

Ha, thanks!



...you wouldn't happen to know how to fix these things, would you?

[straightupzorra.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, what? These computers don't have internet access? That's just not gonna fly. How will I keep in contact with everyone? I mean, it's not like I care what they're doing but they should be caring about what I'm doing. This is a serious problem.

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

[This one sounds HIP. Peer pressure thrust upon the 15 year old boy stuck in a 35 year old man's body.]

I'm sure they're caring wherever they happen to be. But yeah, having withdrawal already. Sorry to be the bearer of such crap news! :(

[video]

[lamentless]

[Yeaaaah this face.]

Are you okay?

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

...Woah. Cool hair bro. Thumbs waaaay up.

Wait, I'm fine. My farm isn't. My nuclear family isn't. My hobbies just took a severe hit. :(

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Oh god another facebook junkie? I think you're the fifth one that's going through withdrawals here. Right behind Alfred and the skinny kid who doesn't know how to people.

There's other stuff to do here, like the media room.

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

...please tell me media room isn't the one with the blood on the walls and the wailing?

[Hey, he thought it could have been some super inclusive 4D experience and a slasher movie was the night's special]

yeah, iit'2 fuckiing lame.
ii'm workiing on iit, but the2e 2y2tem2 are hard two hack.

[JD's got this text thing down because he's in the know, totes. ...is that 'mustard' as a font color though? Man he wanted hot dogs now.]

That'd be awesome. Bet everyone's going crazy without it. At least everyone I know.

How long've you been at it my good hacker pal. [Yep. You're his friend. You don't have a choice. Nobody ever does.]

[terranities.livejournal.com]

Sorry about Abel, he's just not adjusting very well...

[leanstotheleft.livejournal.com]

I can see that man... Uh. Is he always so irritable though?

Just thinking that I should be in the know if you know what I'm sayin'.


Don't want to lose my spleen or something.
