Been here. Done this. Didn't stick around long enough to really care about this place one way or the other.

[ Tech Boy is on his bed, the communicator set up on a tripod while he uses his hands to play the latest video game system -- eyes locked on the screen. ]

But technology's always changing. Always evolving. Same can be said about imPorts, right? Because two years is a long fucking time to be stuck with the same boring old models. So let's see what set of upgrades we got.

[ Taking a break during a loading screen, he reaches over for his douchey vape pen, bringing it up to his lips. ]

Who, would you say, is the most relevant imPort here these days? Gotta be one who sticks out more than most. And how would you update yourself to be like them?

[ He exhales a cloud of vapor from his nose and goes back to his game. ]

I am a god. So. Ask and ye may receive.

One god to another then...

I would not wish to be like other imPorts.

[Yes, that is an angry-looking cyborg on the screen.]

[twatter]

[ He gives Grievous a brief once over. ]

Well, I don't blame you there. But. What exactly are you the god of?

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

I was proclaimed a demi-god by my people for my feats in battle.

[twatter]

So a war god, then. Maybe a weapon of war? You do seem to be mechanized in some way which does put you part in my wheelhouse.

Do you have references for that godhood or is it self-diagnosed?

[twatter]

I'm new on the scene, so you're not gonna find me referenced in any boring ass books or legends.
But I'm not self-made. I'm man-made. People create the gods.
I am the byproduct of their dependence on technology.
The more people can't live without me, the greater my influence.
There and here.

[alreadywon]

And how do you exert that influence?

[twatter]

I don't have to do a damn thing.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
People are always searching for a way to make their lives convenient.
Technology won't be going away any time soon.
I can help it along by coming up with the next trend.
But for the most part, it's passive as fuck.

You're not another one of the singing ones, right?

[twatter]

[ He visibly winces. ]

Fuck no. I'm way better than those temp gods.

[Voice]

[girlverine]

You're a god.

[From her tone, it's hard to tell if Laura doesn't believe him, or is just terribly unimpressed. Definitely one of those though.]

[Voice]

[twatter]

Yup.

[ From his tone, he's simultaneously bored and arrogant about it. But what does one expect from the Internet? ]

New generation. No prayers or blood sacrifices required.

[Voice]

[girlverine]

And what are you the god of?

[Vape buddies! They can out douche each other, Cassidy's going for a couple of lil' vape rings as he exhales, eyeing the kid on the camera with a sceptical eyebrow arch.]

What do we receive?

video;

[twatter]

Depends on what you need.

[ He pries his attention from the game for a quick moment to give Cassidy a once over. ]

From the looks of you, an awful lot.

[ Tech Boy's getting some Mad Sweeney vibes here. Even the accents match! ]

video;

[crassidy]

Oi, cheeky sod. I'm as upgraded as they come.

[Cassidy might even pass as a leprechaun! He's mischievous enough.]

Surprised you're offering updates when yer looking like that. Might wanna work on the self first.

[hampire]

Somehow, I'm getting the impression that you consider yourself a front-runner in the Most Relevant Import category.

video;

[twatter]

Not yet.

[ That could be humble....if he didn't follow it up with: ]

But I will be soon.

[hampire]

Might I ask how you plan to achieve that?

Voice;

[pocketfulof]

You don't look like any god I know.

[Demigod child has doubts, sir.]

Voice;

[twatter]

Because I'm not like any god you know. I am the new generation. I am what this world and many others have become. How many people can't live without their smartphones these days?

That is my influence.

Voice;

[pocketfulof]

Honestly? You sound more like an asshole than a god...Never heard of you either. Iris is going to be pissed that someone's taking over the whole connection thing.


For the record, though, I get by just fine without a smartphone. Had to back home, never really cared to miss it.

[dragony]

You must be a pretty shitty one, if you've ended up here.

audio;

[twatter]

Hey. I doubt I'm the only god here.

[dragony]

You're not. It's true of them, too.

It's only that, right now, you're the one preening about it, as though it matters in a place like this.
