Enzo has arranged a browser cookie and an organic one on a plate together, and is photographing them.

"School project?" He's being curiously watched by a Connor.

[a1enzo]

"Sort of. I finally told the other Guardians about Users, and I'm finishing up my report on them. My first report." He sighs. "There's way more than I can fit in just one."

"Did you mention the ones with superpowers yet?" I will take 'cans of worms' for 500, Alex.

[a1enzo]

"Nah. I probably will soon, but it's not like there aren't sprites with powers. I need to cover the basics. Matter, and Earth, and how humans are different from sprites. How you're the same, too."

[leadinghome]

"People, with minds and feelings and dreams." He nods. "So you're starting with pictures."

[a1enzo]

"Well, I already wrote the report. I mostly need pictures of humans, but I figured I can use some other comparison shots."

"Don't forget to take a few of plants too." He nods. "People might like it. Plants and flowers."

[a1enzo]

"Oh, yeah, definitely. That'll be a later report, though."

"And then what, everyday stuff like books? Showers? I think computer-people would be weirded out about the idea of cleaning up with -water-." Short circuit city!

[a1enzo]

"They're more likely to be weirded out by water, period. They're weirded out by the whole thing."

[leadinghome]

"Well, besides weirded, are they taking it well? Finding out there's a whole world of humans and human things?"

[a1enzo]

"Better than they might've. Thank goodness for Cubefall. I built the heck out of the construction toys; I needed the luck."

"I missed it this year. Funny thinking it has been well over one year here, and just a few months back home..."

[a1enzo]

"Time in my world actually matches up pretty well to here, but, y'know, relatively, 'cause cyberspace runs a lot faster than Userspace."

[leadinghome]

"Oh? How much faster?" Connor reaches to pour himself a glass of juice. "We have... time distortions, back home."
