week 7, wednesday

[aubins]

[ well he's here in the pc cafe. looking a little intently at the blue-screened pc, but i'm sure it's fine.

he'll glance up and nod when sheila comes in though. hello there. ]

[toesies]

[She approaches, peering curiously at the PC.]

What are you up to...?

[aubins]

Quick question for you -- what does it mean when these things do... that?

[toesies]

Uh... That they're fucked?

[aubins]

[ ah. ]









[ he looks a little awkward? it's fine. ]

[toesies]

[... She blinks and raises her eyebrows at him.]

What's with that look...?

[aubins]

It’s nothing.

[ it’s fine ]

Good thing there’s plenty of them then.

[toesies]

It does not look like nothing, but okay...?

[aubins]

[ squints. ]

If it's fucked, it's unlikely I can fix it. Essentially.

[toesies]

[A beat.]

Did you fuck the computer, Yuri?

[aubins]

[ .... ]

I pushed some buttons and it yelled at me?

[toesies]

Yelled at you... how?

[aubins]

Like--

[ he makes a pretty decent attempt at the noise a computer makes when you press too many buttons at once. i'm begging kyuu to tell me she knows what i mean. ]

[toesies]

[she does not know what yuri means]

[toesies]

[No, just kidding. She does and slowly nods in understanding.]

Oh, that explains so much.

[aubins]

And now it's blue. And really likes being blue, apparently.

[toesies]

That's what we call the blue screen of death.

[aubins]

... That sounds... permanent. And final.

[toesies]

Sometimes, it is.

[aubins]

[ he just looks at the computer and then back at sheila. ]

Poor computer.

[toesies]

[She reaches over to pat the poor computer, not at all mindful of Yuri's personal space.

Sure would suck if they brushed against each other and got stuck, huh.]

[aubins]

[ it would also suck very much if he when to move away from her just as she brushed against him and end up kinda... snapping back. right into her. ow. ]

[toesies]

[A beat, after this happens.]

Oh, shit.

[aubins]

[ ..... ]

At least it's not clown makeup this time.

[toesies]

Is this better than the clown make-up?
