Oh man, have I taken you by where Aziz and Bernie are? If you want Chai that tastes really good, even if it's probably not like, ancient people Chai -- ( she winks, making it a joke on their technical ages were this but their true home world ) -- it's delicious.
( For answers on what tea she'd like, that one totally managed to not actually be one. )
I was only bored! You do some intense reading when you're bored enough.
( She has enough downtime this is exactly what she does. )
People say the craizest things on there, though. It's way more intimate than the internet ever was for me! Playing two truths, one lie, the random confessions, the funny faces...
[ The joke gets a glance over his shoulder and a widening of his smile. ]
No, do they do coffee too?
[ And good thing he doesn't need an answer right away. He'll leave the kettle to boil and join Collette at the table. ]
Really? I don't have anything to compare it to so the way it's used here seems like the norm to me. I guess people get kinda personal when they're bored here? Might be the fact we're fighting in a war too.
They do, but I can't vouch for it. I'm not a coffee girl!
( She does enjoy caffeine, just more through soda, and then her real favorite is Gatorade oh yeah! Which exists in no form in this future. Sigh.
She rests her hands on the table, thumb and index fingers touching to form a triangle. )
People get personal 'cause people are people. The war helps! Anything that ties you to someone else, a similarity, that helps. It's when you think you're so different from those around you that things start getting weird.
( She gives a slight shrug of her shoulders, not having intended to say even that much. )
I wouldn't say a tenth of what gets said here on the real internet! And I still wouldn't say a tenth, knowing the Initiative reads it all. That's kind of personal, you know?
[ Not that he minds one bit because aw yeah, coffee. Hopefully delicious coffee.
What she says next gets a slight raise of an eyebrow as well as a knowing smile. ]
I know. But yeah, people are people and we're all in this together, can't fault 'em for wanting to create bonds in a strange, unfamiliar place away from everything they once knew.
Wouldn't fault them for it even if we were all in a familiar place! ( Bonds? Friendship is more how she thinks of it, ties in a distinctly different sort of community that lacks anything as a common backdrop except foreign, and without familiar things reflected back at them from the culture around.
Which... in some ways, isn't that strikingly new. )
Just wonder if warning them is worthwhile, too. Since so many aren't used to these kinds of technologies, but oh well. You live and you learn!

I'm sure they realize that a lot of people can see what they post. I mean, they explain that much when they hand it to you, yeah?
So after that, it's up to them how they use it. You can't exactly stop them from over sharing.
[ Never mind that he blabbed about Tyki where everyone could see with Cross that one time, but eh. Live and learn indeed. ]

( She laughs, less about Oz now, more about everything else. )
How many times has someone gone, "Oh! We need to do something about these Initiative folks!" Right there on their network?
( Gosh, but how she giggles over that now! )
