[Transmission #13]

I hate technology. First it won't come up with any results that aren't pornographic, next it keeps asking me to vote. Vote on what?

[regards him quietly, not sure if she wants to actually speak but in the end she does mutter softly:]

He's doing much better. I think he'll recover soon.

[redpaperfan]

Good to know.

[ Something Sasuke does mean, but how that sincerity feels is up to debate. ]

[clutzy_chosen]

[just nods; there's a distinct lack of cheerfulness from her. She just looks calm and collected. Silent for another few seconds before:]

What are you looking for?

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke is leaning back from the desk; he is fed up with attempting to bend technology to his whims. ]

Distraction.

[ex_frantics]

Want me to teach you how to use a search engine?

[Laughs, then stops. Almost a whisper]

So you did that to the cat. Well...
[thumbs up] thanks for saving me the trouble.

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke gives Cliff a dry look; ]

By all means, inform me.

[ The second statement wins nothing out of Sasuke. If he considers it anything, it wouldn't be evident from his demeanor. ]

[ex_frantics]

[Imitates Sasuke's dry look]

Well, look what I found at the library: "How To Use A Search Engine".

[ooc: Best guide ever! Pretend is a library book.]

[redpaperfan]

[ Unimpressed Sasuke is Unimpressed. ]

Wonderful. Maybe I can even open this one.

[exstinctor]

Better now, groveling boy?

[redpaperfan]

Much.

[exstinctor]

Glad t'hear it.

[redpaperfan]

Hn.

[oliverplus]

...you didn't have something to do with that. You didn't!

[redpaperfan]

[ he doesn't respond at first, then turns a flat stare onto Oliver's image. ]

Why.

[ He is questioning the denial. ]

[oliverplus]

Why!? Because he's traumatized! He can't even speak! Why would you do something like that to him? His trick was nasty, but it didn't deserve that!

[redpaperfan]

Ah.

[ stone cold steve austin Sasuke is not repentant. Salem lived through his own worst tortures before; Sasuke didn't permanently damage the cat; and the cat might not be talking, but he was writing. Seems like he's pretty good. ]

[pharshinra]

[Raising an eyebrow at the book titles]

[redpaperfan]

[ a dry look ]

It's quality literature, really.

[pharshinra]

I wonder about your definition of quality then. Are they fiction or nonfiction to you ?

[redpaperfan]

Fiction relative to where I'm from. Both relative to the various authors' intentions.
