[Exploring is okay, but right now Sollux doesn't really feel like doing that. He's found himself a perch on a broken-down wall with a good view of the island. It's not a bad place. But it's pretty boring with no internet.

Despite the fact that he's sitting up high and one might think he was pondering the mysteries of the universe, or escape possibilities, he's got his phone open and is poking at the guts with a microtool with intense concentration.

Perhaps you'd like to interrupt him?]

Fix them to do... what? [she asks curiously, assuming from his smirk that he means something beyond the standard 'fix'.]

They seem like normal phones to me. Granted, I'm not much of a hardware girl. I had to repair the Buffybot one too many times that summer.

[thekidsare0kay]

Fikth them to allow inthtant methhaging, and like, maybe thome kind of intranet. [Yup, he's ambitious. He is also internet addicted] Tekthting ith okay, but it'th not the thame.

[Mild surprise.] Setting up the instant messaging at least should be pretty simple, but do we really need an intranet with so few of us here?

[thekidsare0kay]

Of courthe we need an intranet! How elthe can KK bullshit in memoth for our univerthal entertainment? Not to mention share information about thith fucked up plathe in real time, inthtead of tranthmitting it one-to-one in a big game of telephone, corrupting the methhage inevitably until the latht guy hath to go "what, did you thay you found an octoputh in your pantth?"

Okay, that's a good point about sharing information. I guess I'm used to there being so few of us in the group that info sharing is more like chatting over lunch.

... I could probably provide some coding backup if it isn't more complicated than like a BBS thing. [She makes the offer tentatively, as if she's not sure he'd have any reason to be interested.]

[thekidsare0kay]

For me, I barely know how to talk to people fathe to fathe. [He shrugs and smiles self-deprecatingly at this confession] You know ~ATH?

[guiltapalooza]

Hey, I think you do just fine! [Her reassuring smile fades into a slightly worried look. What if different universes meant totally different programming languages?] But uh, no, I've never even heard of that. Is it like C?

[thekidsare0kay]

I'm not egthactly in practithe. [He shrugs, not caring. And blinks at her] Thee? Oh... no, it'th not. It'th a lot more verthitile than any human programming language. I blew up a computer remotely onthe.
