easier ways to connect [Snow Crash, Hiro + Y.T, alpha prompt]
Title: easier ways to connect
Fandom: Snow Crash
Characters: Hiro, Y.T
Notes: Written in a series of text messages emailed to myself; edited on the fly while waiting for class to start. For the alphabet meme - c, ctrl+alt+del, snow crash.
YT knows computers. Not as well as Hiro and certainly not as well as she knows her wheels, but you don't grow up in America without knowing something about computers. It's in her blood. Unfortunately Hiro's computer is different than what she's used to and when and when Hiro refuses to leave the 'verse for Reality, as he so often does she can't find any of the familiar buttons so she can kick him out of the verse. Where the hell would the crtl+alt+del buttons be anyway on a computer with no real keyboard., she wonders, but pushes those thoughts aside. She won’t ask later, even though she is curious. It’d just open up something she doesn’t want to get into. She likes being part of Reality more than the ‘verse.
But the problem still remains on how to get Hiro to leave the computer behind for a bit and spend some time actually seeing people. A quick glance tells her she won’t have much luck unless she does something drastic.
She settles for pulling the plug and lifting the goggles away from Hiro's face, snapping them on his forehead when he blinks at her, more confused than YT would have guessed a grown man, especially one with as much experience as Hiro, could be.
