[Seeing as he isn't sure how long this being-a-witch-again thing will last, have a Chris. Who is making potions. In a smoking cauldron. Yes, an actual cauldron. It sits upon a table, along with a moderate amount of ingredients, varying from the type of things you might regularly see in a kitchen to some more... unique things, such as oddly shaped roots or something like glitter dust in a wooden bowl. Several glass bottles filled with colored liquid sit on the other side of the table.

Chris glances to the piece of paper he also has on the table, then rips off a piece of a plant, tossing it into the mixture. The potion-in-the-making bubbles. ... then it explodes in a huge puff of mist and smoke. It's barely enough to knock Chris off his feet, and he makes an annoyed groan as he runs a hand through his hair.]

Note to self: not as much mandrake leaf next time.

[Smiles.] That's it for the start-up. It's best to learn by doing with the glasses. It might be disorienting at first. Um, let's see...if you want to confirm that something is real, just lift your glasses--you won't be able to see cyber substances without them. Oh, and if you ever see fog coming out of the Space, be careful because it's probably an Obsolete Space.

[ghostlighter]

[Slowly going through the start-up while he listens, then pauses to look at Yasako.] Explain to me what the problem with obsolete Spaces are again?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

It's very dangerous. There are all kinds of rumors about it, though I don't think anything's really confirmed. But it's where the Illegals are. And they say that there are strange, dangerous things living deep within the Obsolete Space. But also, the Obsolete Space gives you an obsolete picture, so...so you could think you're walking down a sidewalk but you're actually walking into a busy street or something.

[ghostlighter]

... Oh. You see, I'm not really worried about all that other stuff, but the obsolete picture thing? I'll be sure to look out for.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

[Looks shifty for a moment and lowers her voice.] Actually, I heard recently that an Illegal might have caused the death of a girl last year.

[ghostlighter]

—What? Really? How?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure about the details...I only just met a boy who knew the girl, so I don't really know much. But he's researching whether or not Illegals might have been involved in the accident.

[ghostlighter]

But they're just data. Right?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

They are...

[ghostlighter]

[... he quirks a brow.] Then how could they have done something?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I mean...I'm not sure I believe it, but...a lot of people do. Haraken does.

[ghostlighter]

[He pokes at a few more keys.] Guess it's something you'll have to figure out for yourself, huh?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[ghostlighter]

Just, uh... be careful.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Ah...thank you. You too. And enjoy the glasses. They can be a lot of fun. Oh! If you want any apps or plug-ins like walls or a laser just let me know, alright? I can get them from Granny.

[ghostlighter]

Thanks again. I think I'll pass on the walls or lasers for now. [Since... you know, normally he can do those sort of things without the glasses.] Although... is that all there is?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

That's it. Just, um, remember that the glasses are the only actual piece of hardware. The screens and keyboards, they're all images too. I think that's about it.

[ghostlighter]

Right. I know. [He smiles a little, looking back to the screen.] These are great, though.
