So we now know the ultimate answer. The next thing is: what's the ultimate question?

[notcodemonkey]

--hold on, let me--

...

Hello?

...I'd say the ultimate question is why the hell did this just work, but forty-two doesn't fit.

[just_a_surface]

You never know. I mean, 42 could be the magic number. If anyone attempts to try that many times.

Hiya! I'm Ren.

[notcodemonkey]

Well, it-- maybe it is, then. To be honest, I wouldn't put it past this place.

Right. I'm Jamie. And not James.

[just_a_surface]

Hiya, Jamie! Don't worry, I won't call you James. But if you get a title, well...

Anyway! Are you new?

[notcodemonkey]

I, er. Look forward to it. Truly.

No, but I probably might as well be. This thing's locked me out for over a year. No idea why it worked now ... besides the potential 42 connection, etc.

[just_a_surface]

Huh. I guess we just have never meet, since I've been here for 3 years+, including the time I was stranding myself.

But it's always nice to meet new people, even if they're old.

Well, old in the sense that you're not new. Not in the sense of age. Although I could be wrong.

[notcodemonkey]

Well, I-- never did get to know very many people. Been here (there?) about that long myself, though.

... I'm not old. Twenty-six isn't old. No matter how young they keep hiring people, on both ends.

[just_a_surface]

... :O!

We're the same age! Ish. I didn't think there was anyone my age!

[notcodemonkey]

... that's not a cue for us to suddenly be Best Friends Forever, is it?

(Most everyone does seem to be a lot older or a lot younger, though, yes.)

[just_a_surface]

Not if you don't like. Besides, it looks like CeeCee has already claimed the role.

(Like Harper the Gray. Although you can't really tell.)

[notcodemonkey]

I don't think I've had a best friend since primary school. I generally try to avoid it.

(Ha! Maybe I do like you, then. Even if you can't spell grey.)

[just_a_surface]

At least you're not a girl? Cause then you would have had to wear friendship bracelets and frienship necklaces, where each of you have a half.

(What's wrong with the way I spell gray?)

[notcodemonkey]

Ew. Worst nightmare, that. What was the point in those things, anyway? Bits of string round your wrist? Great.

(That right there! It's grey.)

[just_a_surface]

If that's your worst nightmare, then you have it easy.

(Grey, gray. Same thing. I do use grey. But today seems like a gray day to me.)

[notcodemonkey]

What, being a girl? I think that's a pretty bad nightmare, actually. Silly bits of string round my wrist's just a close second.

(World of difference. Culture. Well, all right, not really. But still. It's awful.)
