[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!]

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.]

Aye. We haven't got anything quite like this back home. This "instant messaging" stuff.

Good! We can figure this crap out together, then. I've gotten pretty good, if I must say.

[hmm... to be truthful, or lie and boast?

Ha! Only a few short hours, my friend! It's all quite intuitive once you figure it out!

[Lucky lucky Linebeck!!]

Well, you see, the first thing you should figure out is how to switch between the different modes! You see! There's text, there's sound only, and then there's a mode that's a moving picture AND sound! Aye? Let me see here...

Well of course it does! Makes perfect sense to me.

[Idiots! :D ]

Aye, I don't think we have. I'm Linebeck, a real man of the sea! Nice to meet you, kid.
