Can someone tell me what this site is for, please? I wanted to figure it out for myself, but the stuff some people were saying was kind of...weird and not really clear.

Um. Thank you.

What's a 'site'?

[his_fathers_son]

...The thing you're using, of course. It's short for website.

[maraihi]

Web...site?

[Al Gore hasn't invented the internetz yet, silly Edgey]

[his_fathers_son]

Yeah, what the internet is made up of. All these pages with stuff on them. I take it you're new to computers.

[Hey, he has in Edgey's world! Which is, as far as he knows, the only world!]

What's a computer?

[his_fathers_son]

The thing you're using to get on the site you're... Wait, is this part of that game? If it is, I'm not playing.

[maraihi]

You mean the typewriter and the TV? It's supposed to be a game? But then how did that person find me?

[his_fathers_son]

It's not a typewriter and a TV, it's a computer. Typewriters just work on paper, they don't connect to the internet. TVs don't either...unless you have one of those ones that are made to. I think they have those, but they come with a keyboard, not a typewriter.

I think it's a game. I mean, it can't be anything else. The stuff these people keep talking about can't be real.

I've never heard of an internet or a computer before. They must be some sort of top secret government project.

[his_fathers_son]

It's not secret. Almost everybody has the internet here. Maybe they don't have it where you are? ...I mean, maybe you don't know they have it. Obviously they do have it cause that's what you're using.

I've never seen one before... But I've never seen that apartment before, either. Or that city.
