Bonzo turns up outside the cineplex as well.

"Ho, Enzo. What's going on?"

[a1enzo]

Can you be outside the cineplex when the cineplex is outside? *Zen moment*

"Hey, Bonzo! It's my unbirthday! C'mon, have some cake!"

[mandercommander]

Bonzo follows Enzo cakeward. "Unbirthday? What is an unbirthday?"

[a1enzo]

"That's Dani's word. It's only my real birthday every five years, but it'd be my birthday the way they do it here."

Pause. "That's right. Sprites age differently. I forgot." Sigh. "Feels like my situation the way the Bar works for me. So...how old are you?"

[a1enzo]

"User-count, I'm twelve."

[mandercommander]

"Congratulations." Pause. "I think I got...yeah, I got my army when I was 12."

[a1enzo]

"Nice present."

[mandercommander]

Bonzo chuckles. "As many times as I had trouble with them I wondered sometimes."

Enzo slices himself some digital cake.

"Yeah, I think I'd rather get mp3s or something."

[mandercommander]

"What?"

i.e. What is an MP3?

[a1enzo]

"Music files."

[mandercommander]

"Ah. Yeah, that sounds useful."

[a1enzo]

"They're not useful, they're fun."

[mandercommander]

"Oh?"

[a1enzo]

Enzo gives him a Look.

"Code, they didn't let you have any fun at that school, did they?"
