This sounds very, very interesting, so Urquhart wanders over to the grey-skinned youngster.

"That sounds ingenious," he announces. "Will your system work when the participants are out in some world, too? And how much do you want for it?"

He's actually prepared to shell out quite a lot for such devices for Moist and himself. They'll break even on the very first job.

"IT IS SUPPOSED TO, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. BUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ACCESSING THIS PLACE IS UP TO THE MIRTHFUL MERCILESS GODS OF FATE AND FUCKING YOU OVER, SO, YOU KNOW." He shrugs.

"I AM GIVING THEM AWAY RIGHT NOW, IF YOU DON'T GET A CRITICAL MASS OF PEOPLE USING THIS SHIT IT FADES AWAY TO IRRELEVANCY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY."

"I am willig to make a donation to the project, though," Urquhart says. "And can I have two?"

No point in sending Moist to find the troll, as they might keep missing each other or something.

[crabbycustomer]

"YEAH, SURE, I GAVE THEM TO THE BAR SO JUST ASK IT FOR TWO. I DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE TAKE ENOUGH TO BUILD A FORT WITH THEM AS LONG AS THEY'RE CHATTING."

"I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA TO CONVERT THE COST OF THESE FUCKING THINGS, THE ORIGINAL OPOD COST ME LIKE A TWO PERIGEES OF IMAGOSTIPEND. ENOUGH TO LIVE ON FOR... A HUMAN MONTH, I GUESS."

[scots_wolf]

"Two month's tab here for you, then, so you can spread them and do maintenance and trouble-shooting without further cost to yourself?" Urquhart suggests.

[crabbycustomer]

"WORKS FOR ME! I WILL HAVE TO FUCK OFF BACK TO MY WORLD AT SOME POINT ANYWAY SO IT NEEDS TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT EVENTUALLY."

"I'll instruct the bar accordingly when I get my two devices," Urquhart says. "To get a code name, we just turn it on, like when you turn on a game console the first time and enter basic information?"

[crabbycustomer]

"YEAH, TROLLIAN GENERATES A TROLLTAG AND USER COLOR AUTOMATICALLY, BUT YOU CAN RECONFIGURE IT IF YOU WANT, I HACKED THAT IN. I FIGURED THE BITCHING IF I DIDN'T WOULD BE UNBEARABLE."

[scots_wolf]

"Yes, I'm sure some people would want to determine what the tag tells about them," Urquhart says.

Sure that Moist, for example, would object terribly to being something like 'wetFakestache'.

[crabbycustomer]

"FRANKLY, THOUGH, TROLLIAN CAN BE RELATIVELY SPOOKY ABOUT THAT SHIT, SO GIVE IT A SHOT."

[scots_wolf]

"I will," Urquahrt says. "And if I have any questions, can I come and pester you some more?"

[crabbycustomer]

"YEAH OR JUST MESSAGE ME ON THE SOFTWARE, THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT. I AM carcinoGeneticist."

[scots_wolf]

"I'm just going to tell you I am when I message you first, then," Urquhart says. "As I don't know what I will be yet."

[crabbycustomer]

He nods. "I AM PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS ON."

[scots_wolf]

"You'll hear from me," Urquhart says, nodding to Karkat before going over to the bar to instruct it about the two months' sponsorship (let's say) and get the devices for himself and Moist.-
