minor goop it comes and goes
did i read that right
are you camped out on a roof
this has been going on for days do not tell me youve been up there the whole time

[?]

Yes?

I have supplies and something to read, it's not exactly a desert island situation. Up here there's nobody to absorb/be absorbed by.

[ From someone else, this would probably devolve into worry. But, from Max? ]

whoa
thats smart
and efficient
got a tent in case it starts snowing?

[yeah it's fine (frankly it's not fine) (but you know) (bro we are j we are just teens from action media)]

I do, in fact.

[Rare appearance of a picture upload!! Yeah it's just a fucking tent pitched on some kind of city roof, looks like they're three to four stories up there. Instead of posts driven into the ground (because concrete) he seems to have convinced a bunch of ivy to tether the whole thing in place. Don't mind the indistinct Goop Smears on and around the tent. Do mind the glimpse of Silvally's gigantic fish butt inside the tent if you squint through the awful picture quality.]

[ risked my life over worse!!!! ]

how the fuck did you send that
did you take it just with the laptop thing

[ Hi Silvally. Max makes the Max-equivalent of heart-eyes. Dog-horse-fish thing. She loves it. ]

Is yours one of the "upgraded" ones? There's a lens above the screen. Turns on w/ camera app. I tape it over the rest of the time just in case though.

ive got no idea what upgraded means in this case since heres the first time ive ever seen things like this
but i see it i think
whats an app

[ah. right. she's vintage]

Short for "application". Newer term for a piece of software on a personal computer that you use to do something specific like make documents or play a game or run a camera. As opposed to the software that runs in the background to make the computer work, or the software in a purpose-built machine like an arcade cabinet.

Apparently there are two models of the laptop floating around and one is more archaic.

[personal computer or mobile phone but we take things one step at a time. you know.]

[ no how dare you she is NOT vintage- ]

this uses the same kind of technology as games from the arcade?
but different because those are built for one thing and these are built for many things
apparently
ok i think i get it i get the comparison

anyway i have no idea which kind i have but if ones new and they were handing out the newer ones itd stand to reason its that one

Guess so.

This is all several decades out of date for me so I might have the history wrong but I'm pretty sure it's weird that laptops were invented here without a lot of other computer technology already existing. Whenever I spot something it usually ends up being courtesy of Mana. No personal computers where you're from? In offices or libraries or anything?

[he thought everything started with desktops.........]

no theres ones way bigger than this in places like that mostly libraries
i think the school has one or two
but theyre mostly for work
some people have them for games but not a lot where im from

[ A moment, as she considers. ]

theyre more a rich person thing than something everyone has

[ Ironically, she's right on the edge of the computer boom. Not like her family would be able to afford one. ]

[good lord.

or. well. they're all living something closer to that life now so he can't clutch his gen z pearls too hard.]

I think I never would have guessed you didn't grow up with the internet if you'd never said anything about it. You post like a natural.

[countdown to mildly regretting typing that]

[ Raaaises eyebrows. ]

oh really
and WHAT exactly do naturals post like gladion?

[oh my god getting called by name in text is really potent.]

Unapologetically.

[he is either buying himself time or digging himself deeper]

i do EVERYTHING unapologetically

[ Not true. But strangely with Gladion it's sometimes easier to be the confident no-nonsense girl she was before her life fell apart. Maybe it's just because they egg each other on. ]

i find that hard to believe though
the internet happens and everyone suddenly stops pussyfooting around
no way

It's not that the internet made everyone more straightforward and more that you see more arguments online because it's easier to start something when it's not right to someone's face. But it's also different because the internet here is maybe 200 people maximum? and the real internet is several hundred million minimum. You don't see everything, just what gets the most attention.

so its made people more argumentative because they dont think about the consequences
wow
i gotta say everything ive seen and heard of the internet does not paint a very pretty picture

I mean the internet isn't just message boards. It's also completely changed global communications and made it easier to look up information on just about anything. You can shop online too.

But yeah that's why I'm not much of a poster myself.

[that and The Horrors but like.]

so we got none of the convenient parts of it except easy communication which could just as easily be replaced with phones or the common walkie talkie
this whole network thing is like smacking a beehive daily and hoping you dont get stung

["You don't have to smack it," he murmurs to himself.]

Sounds about right. I'm also not a fan of the big public villain speech thing that keeps happening because people have a free soapbox to stand on.

[god he's sure those feel cool in the moment. he knows this. deeply. they are a cautionary tale

also...]

Doubt we could have any of the convenient things here without 4th's grubby little fingers in them. I can't complain about card catalogs if it means fewer horrors.

i fucking hate those
like wow twirl your mustache more mr. dastardly not a single one of us is going to pat you on the head and call you a good little boy

disgusting
anything thats got that mega brats name on it is also nothing i wanna be associated with and if hes reading this he can go screw himself

And then they'll grandstand about not caring but they made the post in the first place.

[faba behavior.]

Yeah. On that note, I'll save the rest of my grievances for the next time we meet in person, so he doesn't get any ideas.

Good luck with the gooping.

you have a point i dont want the "god" of technology to smite me or some bullshit like that
you too
say hi to silvally for me
