Canon is Dennou Coil

Did it ever occur to you that I'd be happier not being on a slimeship that can read my mind? Besides, I bet everyone there thinks the internet is a series of tubes.

If they even have an internet.

The... internet?

haha that username

[imago]

See what I'm talking about?

It's a network of connected computers, relaying data to each other.

It's PERFECT 8|

[its_me_curzon]

Oh--no, I know what the internet [was] is. I just haven't heard the word for a long time.

Re: It's PERFECT 8|

[imago]

Oh yeah? Why's that?

[its_me_curzon]

We... don't use it where I'm from. Much.

[Kind of wondering if the Temporal Prime Directive applies right now.]

[imago]

What, do you live out in the sticks or something?

Not that it's any of my business, I guess. But I prefer to work in the Space.

[its_me_curzon]

It might be a little hard to explain.

When you say 'the Space,' do you mean interstellar space?

[imago]

[Now she was looking at you like a space alien, Ezri. Which you were. HAHAHAHA

Actually, no, she's going to be a jerk about this.]

It might be a little hard to explain.

[its_me_curzon]

[she is two space aliens HOW ABOUT THAT

oh fine, kid. be that way.]

Fine. You explain, and then I'll explain. Does that sound fair?

[imago]

[GASP]

Hmm. No deal. You go first.

[thisclinchesit]

Well. We have a sort-of localized message-board type thing.

The internet as I know it is long gone.

[imago]

That's really not the same thing.

How do you even get things done?

[thisclinchesit]

Well, most anything that needs to be done doesn't require the use of the internet, so we don't exactly miss it.

[imago]

[Oh. You must be an adult who Doesn't Get it, Shoutarou. Have a skeptical look.]

[thisclinchesit]

[He smirks - he may be a little old-fashioned, but he knows the boons of technology,]

What? I really doubt Google would be able to tell us anything useful about the Ohm, Catastrophists, or Daligig that we don't already know.

[imago]

No one uses 'Google' any more, old man.

[thisclinchesit]

Old?! I'm not old! I'm not even thirty yet!

[imago]

I think I see a couple wrinkles around your eyes. You should take care of that, or they'll just get worse.

[thisclinchesit]

Hmph. They're badges of manhood, marks of work well done.

[imago]

Trust me, you don't want to look like sunburnt leather. You'll never get girls that way.

[thisclinchesit]

Ah, you're just too young to truly appreciate the draw of a truly hard-boiled man.
