001 | Text/Voice/Video/Derp

[There's a burst of static, and a garbled sound like someone talking for a brief moment before it clears, beginning a voice message.] -doesn't this thi-[More static, along with the sound of buttons being pressed. Likely buttons that should NOT be pressed, if the beeps that keep sounding mean anything.]-ith instructions or something?

[That? Is the sound of TEN MILLION BUTTONS being pressed. One of them has to let him write. But WHICH ONE?

Until now, this has been a mystery to Sora.

But apparently he figures it out, because suddenly, text!]

jkl;q23fa8sdpj

oh, there it is! Now I can send messages to people. This is neat!

but writing everything out like this takes forever. [Because guess who's typing one. letter. at. a. time.

But there must be another way! Maybe if he can figure out how video works...

Oh, hey. Time to abuse the terminal's keyboard again.

This goes on for a few minutes, occasionally accompanied by various warning beeps and error messages. Finally, the video flashes on briefly, revealing the face of one (1) VERY SURPRISED Sora, who...was maybe starting to think that this wasn't going to actually work.

...but then he has the biggest smile because GUESS WHAT? IT DID. Computer: 58, Sora: 1.

He's definitely catching up, okay?]

Alright, it wor-huh?!

[And all of his hopes are dashed when the screen turns bright red, and the video shuts off after another, this time much angrier, error noise. Apparently, the terminals do not take kindly to misuse.

Finally, there's just a minute of silence. Then...]

...did I break it?

[Meet the future savior of all worlds, everyone.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, you broke it.

[It's said with a straight face, too!]

[OH GOSH, and now the computer sounds like Riku. Just what did he do-

...OH.

wait. wait.

:|||||]

Hey! That's not funny.

[NOT COOL, BRO.]

[Just. Smirking. Sora, you make this way too easy.]

Nah, it's totally funny. You just missed the punchline.

[Sora... please don't go destroying the terminals.]

Do you need some help?

Edited 2012-04-03 04:41 (UTC)

Nah, that's okay. I think I've got it working now.

[By which he means "It's recording my voice, so I just won't touch anything ever again."

Super effective strategy, right? Rightttttttttttt?]

Edited 2012-04-03 04:49 (UTC)

[... Whatever you say, Sora. There's a head tilt.]

If you're sure.... [There's a hesitance, though. She's weeeeeell aware of his technical incompetence.]

...I think you did. [Hm. Maybe he should possibly offer some help.]

First time using a computer terminal?

I didn't mean to...

[But he might as well just admit it - he has no idea what he's doing.]

Yeah. I didn't really use anything like this back in my world.

...Would you like some lessons?

[Hey, he tutored a kid before and helped out part-time at a daycare. How bad could it be?]

People from my world are familiar with most of the electronics, here.

The way you are going, it's likely.

[Hey Sora! Guess who saw that post, decided to get right to the point of origin instead of trying the network and is now leaning against some wall and wearing the straightest face of them all.

...Except that he may be smiling. But hush, nobody saw that.]

Huh?

[Well, that caught him by surprise. Sora jumps at the voice, turning around and...spots Riku, standing right there with a perfectly straight face (except was that a smile? He saw that!).

gdit Riku. This appearing out of nowhere thing? Not fair.

Sora rubs the back of his neck and stares off to the side, the way he always does when he's embarrassed. Except he's not embarrassed at all. Really.]

Hey, don't sneak up on me like that!

[Avoiding the subject of his ~~lack of~~ technology skills? Nope. Not at all.]

[Well too bad; Riku has always prided himself on his sneakiness and that had kind of increased by factor 100 in the last year. So that appearing out of nowhere thing? Maybe, get used to it.

Riku just shakes his head - not even trying to pretend anymore that he isn't absolutely amused by this.]

Don't leave yourself so open to be sneaked up upon and I won't.

[Maybe... consider it Riku's own special brand of training lesson.]

...It's still recording. You haven't broken anything.

...it is? And everyone can hear it?

[CUE THE BIGGEST SIGH OF RELIEF EVER.]

That's good! I was kind of worried.

["Kind of" meaning "having a miniature heart-attack", in this case.]

Edited 2012-04-04 04:29 (UTC)

Computers are delicate things sometimes. It really doesn't help when you push all the buttons at once.

I've only been here a little while but...I could teach you if you like?

Better kiss it goodbye. It doesn't like you very much, I'm thinking.

[ His sarcasm is SEETHING. Anyway, hi, derp. ]

... Do you want some help with the terminal?

Yeah, well, I'm just gonna have to find some way to make it like me, then.

[Sora's automatic response to sarcasm? Stubbornness. ~~That or completely missing the point~~.]

Nah, it's okay. I...kind of already asked someone else for help. Besides, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out sooner or later!

[Probably later. Much later.]

[ ... Ffffff. What a silly kid. But ah well, Minato just shrugs, then. ]

My friend's pretty good with computers, actually, so if you DID break it, I'll have him take a look at it later and fix it if he can. Just leave a piece of paper taped to the terminal or something so I know which one to direct him to.

[ A beat. ]

And if you still want help figuring out the functions, I don't mind telling you about some of it-- [ He pauses, grasping for a name he does not have, alas. ] --ah... I don't think I got your name?

Eh, even if you did, it'll probably get fixed pretty soon.

...Heheh. I never thought of it that way! Press everything, try everything! You know, I wanna try and see what stops working when you stop what process now...

Yeah, I guess you're right...

[But would he get in trouble? Sora's not sure he wants to find out what that would mean, in a place like this.]

And I don't know about breaking stuff on purpose, but I thought it was a good idea, too! Better to try everything than not try anything at all, right?

[there's a low chuckle from your computer, Sora]

Something tells me you've got a habit of getting carried away.

[Oh gosh, more people. Everyone in the tower really did see all of that...]

...yeah. I guess I should have been more careful.

A bit. If you're anything like the person you remind me of, that'll take some time. But you can do it.

--But before that, are you okay?

Really? You had a hard time with it, too?
