Sixty-three

[makachopgo]

Well, that didn't take long. Papa's already been told he can never come back into the electronics store because he wouldn't stop flirting with the employees.

I'm not really bothered by that, though. He was more of a nuisance than anything while I was looking at computers.

Computers? Those are the muggle machines that connect to the internet right?

[makachopgo]

Yeah, Papa decided out of nowhere that we should get one.

[camelliamagic]

Well I could understand you maybe using it Maka, if what I learned in Muggle Studies is accurate, but why would your dad want one?

[makachopgo]

...He wants to exploit different ways to meet women.

[camelliamagic]

Oh. Like those dating websites? That's what they're called right?

[makachopgo]

Yep. That's precisely what they're called and...that's what he intends to use it for. And making sure I don't talk to strange men.

[camelliamagic]

And how would a computer help him with that?

[makachopgo]

Sometimes people that are internet dating meet up offline. But if his date turns out to not be what he expected, it's not my responsibility.

[camelliamagic]

Oh, I think I understand, it's like having a penpal. Mind you I'm not so sure about how it could help him prevent you talking to boys.

[makachopgo]

By standing next to me whenever I'm using the bloody thing and watching my every move. As if I'd ever waste my time with things like that.

[camelliamagic]

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but...don't muggle libraries have computers? He's not going to ban you from going to oe of your favourite places is he?

[makachopgo]

He doesn't actually know there are computers at the library. That's part of why he's an idiot.

[camelliamagic]

Then I guess we better hope he never finds out. I know you wouldn't be happy if you couldn't get any new reading material over the summer.
