[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.]

[derping]

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.

[pitiedthefool]

...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.

[derping]

...really? You can show me how it works?

[He definitely sounds interested.]

Re: video;

[pitiedthefool]

I can at least show you the basics, yeah.

[voice] LIKE THAT LAST ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN...

[derping]

That would be great!

[You may not be able to see him smiling, but you can practically hear it. Sounds like he's eager to learn!

That probably won't make teaching him how to work a computer any less of a challenge, though.

HAVE FUN, YU.]

[pitiedthefool]

[He suddenly has a very foreboding feeling...]

I'm Yu Narukami, by the way.

voice;

[derping]

[Too late.]

I'm Sora! Nice to meet you, Yu.

[pitiedthefool]

[Goodbye, World. It was nice to know you while you lasted!]

Nice to meet you too, Sora. [-kun.] When would you like to get started?

video;

[derping]

Hmm...

[Well...he doesn't have anything planned, so...]

How about tomorrow?

video; inbox, stop hiding things. :I

[pitiedthefool]

Sounds good. Where would you be more comfortable learning?

voice; they like to hide things 8|

[derping]

Maybe we should just use the terminals near the dorms. That way we won't have to worry about monsters or anything.

[Not that he can't handle it, but being able to concentrate would probably be a good.]

video; /shakes fist at iiiit.

[pitiedthefool]

Alright. I'll see you then.

[concentration = GOOD.]
