Karkat looks up from his ~ath text and eyes him. "DO YOU MEAN WOULD IT WORK OR NOT OR DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO ATTEMPT TO GET TO GRIPS WITH THE SERVER ARCHITECTURE INVOLVED HERE?"
"IT SHOULD WORK AS LONG AS THERE IS SOME KIND OF CONNECTION OR LINK BETWEEN THE WORLD YOU ARE IN AND THIS BAR, YEAH. BASICALLY IF THE BAR WANTS IT TO LET IT."
He pauses and ruffles his hair, pondering how to explain this to someone who considers himself not overly familiar with technology. "SO LOOK, MOST ORDINARY DUMB NOOKSNIFFERS THINK THAT WHEN YOU SEND A MESSAGE FROM THAT THING TO ME ON MY CRABTOP HERE SOME KIND OF SIGNAL TRAVELS BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM LIKE TWO PRESERVATION CYLINDERS ON A SISAL UMBILICUS. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT."
"THERE IS AN INTERMEDIARY, YOUR HANDHELD TALKS TO THE SERVER AND THE SERVER TALKS TO MY CRABTOP. SO THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS IF THAT THING GETS OUT OF RANGE OF MY SERVER, AND FRANKLY I AM NOT SURE HOW TO CIRCUMSCRIBE THOSE LIMITATIONS GIVEN THE ELANSIBLE MORTAL SIMULTANEITY PRINCIPLE AND THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH THIS PLACE AND THE PLACE WHERE I BROUGHT THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE IN FROM."
"OKAY, WELL, YOU CAN BE THE EXPERIMENTAL LABBEAST FOR THAT PARTICULAR BALL OF UNSAVORY AURICULAR SPONGEROT. GO AHEAD AND BE AS MAGIC AS POSSIBLE WITH IT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE."
