I realize now something I should have before: I need more than to attend a mere class to learn about these... computers.

[That pause for dramatic emphasis was definitely necessary.]

I have tried attending those courses at the library, but for some reason everyone else there is ancient. I feel odd among the elderly like that. So! I wonder if anyone would be willing to become my Master in this art. I would like to know everything about the Google and other such services. I think they would help me grow better accustomed to this future! I am willing to train for as many hours as it takes, to work as hard as you would teach me!

[Someone is all kind of pumped up and a definitely shounen hero (side-hero??), if a little old for the role. Twenty years of age and he's proud of himself for being able to send texts and receive emails. Someone help this poor child.]

Let me know if you'd be willing to assist me. Your efforts would not be in vain.

What year are you from, exactly? ( Between this man and the sword wielding lady, Franziska's starting to truly understand what kind of eras people are brought to this universe from. )

[glampop]

Nineteen-thirty-eight.

[bratziska]

Wow. ( She doesn't know what else to say. ) They really do take people from all sorts of timelines, don't they?

[glampop]

There's no filter. It's disgusting

[No offense, kiddo, but he's noticed you're a little on the young side. He's witnessed other 'children' on the network and it's always such a displeasure to see. Caesar has a weakspot for that kind of thing. He was a big brother.]

Ah, another one...

You don't train to learn to use a computer.

[glampop]

Are you saying I could learn it all at once?

[databoner]

I suppose if you can retain it all, yes, you could learn the basics all at once. But I can tell you right now, given your... time period, you won't be mastering this. It's simply not going to happen. Your attitude is admirable though. I might... be willing to educate.

[somethinghidden]

Uh, I don't know that there's really a way to master these things. Or a way to really train with them.

audio;

[glampop]

Practice, then.

audio;

[somethinghidden]

That's not what I meant... it's that you sort of just use and then reuse functions after figuring them out. Where's the training and mastery to that?

[anthropophagite]

It's not really an art...

Erm, what year did you come from?

[ Video ]

[glampop]

[People keep asking this...]

Nineteen-thirty-eight.

[ Video ]

[anthropophagite]

I see. [ that explains why he'd see it as an art ]

I'm sure there are also computer classes for younger people. [ like. little kids ] This generation grows knowing about this technology so it's all very intuitive for youngsters, but not so much for older generations.

Just hit up google and type in whatever question you've got. Like- you get how the keyboard works, right?

And until you know what you're doing, if anything asks you to download anything, say no. Especially if it's got naked chicks on it.

[Also don't listen to Inumuta, he'll delete your candy crush saga and browse 2chan all day long]

[glampop]

... There are naked people on the internet?

[hoboagogo]

[Pause. But okay, sure. It's a legit thing to ask.]

....yeah, actually. Tons.

[dionychus]

[...Holy SHIT it's a Zeppeli holy christ this is going to be so entertaining.]

It's not that difficult if you play around with it. I've only been here a few months and I adapted just fine. [So hah.]

audio

[glampop]

I've had other things to get used to.

[Like being alive again and having to deal with Joseph knowing nothing of that horrible fate. Caesar's attention has been spread out, okay? Shut up.]

audio

[dionychus]

[Yes, he'd totally get the whole "being alive again" thing is very nice, but for now let him have his fun.]

Are you having trouble with anything in particular or would a general overview be better?

[justimom]

[ Samara tilts her head displaying just a tiny bit of curiosity. ]

Your dedication is admirable. [ If not a little overzealous. ] If you get a proper teacher, it should not require you to ...train too intensely. [ She pauses. ] Do you have nothing similar to this where you are from?

video; the holidays ate me I'm so sorry

[glampop]

[To be fair, it would be hard to forget his first blue-skinned babe, but Caesar's happy to see this particular familiar face. Hey there.]

This level of technology is far in the future compared to my own. Even the cars here are different.

video; it's no problem!!

[justimom]

What are cars like where you are from?

[standsproud]

I'll be no help. The computers in this time are way more advanced than the ones in 1989.

holidays ate me, but hello again, precious

[glampop]

What are your computers like?

yes me too lol

[standsproud]

Big, bulky. Most people don't have them in their houses.
