homeless and probably VERY rough sob

The hell's the matter with you?

Just- just look at half these places, they don't even got computers, let alone an internet connection. Probably have to walk halfway to Mordor if I want to get myself a damn soda, too, just look at all the crap everyone in these games has to put up with, man. What'd I even do to you to make you wanna do anything like this?

...No, just because half the people out there are from video games doesn't make it worth it. I wanna see them, I can pull up a computer chair and get it going somewhere I'm not gonna get shot in the head, or get a sword in the chest, or someone hitting me with some damn poison, or nothing like that. Ain't worth it, man. Ain't worth it.

Bar at the end of the universe? You mean Milliways? [Come on, he's a tremendous geek, no way he's never read HHGTG.] Damn, they got places for everywhere in these games, don't they? Never thought about making my own internet in some new place...

[But clearly he's entertaining the idea. The not getting killed thing, that's a big bonus.]

Of course I mean Milliways. If there's another bar at the end of the universe, I haven't heard of it. As to the question of setting up the Internet in there, I wouldn't try it on my own, but great minds and all that. Some of the trolls set up a pretty sweet pandimensional IM client, though.

My mun doesn't think anyone else from your canon's around, but hey. Be the first, start a fashion.

Age of the geek, baby, put enough of us together and we can get anything done. Hell, we can probably piggy-back on that IM client pretty easy, we'll have basic TCP/IP up in a week, tops. Just promise me there's no Vogons around that wanna share some poetry, alright?

[She gets that joke, right? ...There aren't really Vogons, right?]

I'm always fashionable. It could happen.

No Vogons that I've encountered, though my mun thinks the Dish of the Day was around at one point. Way before my time, though, by which I mean years before my canon was even a thing. [But yes, she gets that joke. Girl shares a birthday with Douglas Adams; no way she wouldn't.]

I haven't poked at the code behind the IM client, but it's a possibility. Place to start, at the very least. And as games go, Milliways is pretty low-key. Go to the bar in your closet, have a drink, use the extra time to get shit done, occasionally get subjected to weird shit if your mun thinks it's funny. It's low on major hazards to your health, at least.

Hey, you never know. I got a pretty sweet canon posse going myself. But if any of your buddies try to make off with my stuff, I fight dirty.
