T-This isn't an Obsolete Space, is it? [messes with her wristband and frowns] It won't give me a version. No data? [lifts her glasses slightly, then drops them back down] All right, this can stop now! It's creepy! It's like those rumours about... [shudders]

[rubs her arms] This is ridiculous. It isn't...it isn't anything! It's just some old Space! It isn't that! [cups her hands around her mouth] Yasako? Haraken? ...Daichi?? Anyone??

Perhaps, yes. I'm not quite sure what is involved, but time seems to be of less importance than most of us are used to - though I did meet a gentleman here who is used to time travel. But yes, that does seem to explain it; my time period preceeds yours by 127 years.

...This is so weird. All right. What's your name?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

Albus Dumbledore. And yours, miss?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Huh, that sounds familiar. Anyway, I'm Fumie. Nice to meet you. We're definitely going to have to teach you about computers.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too, Miss Fumie. I'm sure that will be delightful. I am not one to refuse an opportunity to learn.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Weeelll, I wouldn't mind teaching you. I guess you wouldn't have meta. But you owe me, all right?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

[he chuckles with amusement, not rudely.] Certainly, Miss Fumie. In exchange for your knowledge of computers, I'd be happy to assist you with something. I am sure that when the time comes, we can find something for me to do.

I'll think of something. But that works for now. Hm, where to start, though? Well...okay, you know what electricity is, right?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

I do, yes. Thankfully, our knowledge is not that far apart.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

That's good. Okay, well, a computer is a machine that runs on electricity and there is a display monitor that shows you information and allows you to write or research. It lets you connect to the internet, too, which is like having tons and tons of information to look through.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

That sounds quite amazing. How useful it must be. Is the "internet", then, like an immense storage area for information?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Mhm! It's all compressed data held on different servers. Like...pretend a server is a library. And all libraries are connected so you can order books from different ones. Except everything is instant. That's what the internet is.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

That is an incredible concept. Electricity makes this possible? I wonder if I will see such a thing in 127 years, or if there is a different evolution between our worlds.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Well probably. This stuff is all in the last...30 years I think.
