Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

It had been entirely too long since Aravis had truly appreciated her insomnia.

Which was why Tuesday evening found her curled up on the couch with a truly spectacular and moddable array of candy before her, and her dog lounging at her feet. Aravis hadn't settled on anything to watch, so she just plaintively flipped through channels, appreciating a few seconds of each program.

Aravis looked suitably impressed. "Every time I think I know everything about the technological advancement of this world, someone tells me something like that."

Teddy laughed. "They keep updating here. At least you've gotten used to TV pretty well. That has some of the best things."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"And I like movies, too! In theaters," she told him, grinning. "With the very very large...television-things."

Teddy did a little geek flail. "Oh! Oh! If you like things exploding, you have to see Ratman The Shadowy Samurai!"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"I do?" she asked, raising her brows. "Many explosions in that one, then?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"And fighting," Teddy replied excitedly. "I have it on my computer if you wanted to see."

Mmm, bootlegged DVDs.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Computers can play movies?" she asked, eyes widening.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy blinked a little at that. "Well... yeah."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"...I thought they were just for writing, and the inter-thing," she admitted, coloring slightly.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah, but you can also watch movies on them. Or play games!"

"They're so versatile!" Aravis said, amazed. "They aren't just for dirty pictures after all?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy turned bright red. "Um, no. Sometimes? But there's a lot that's not, um, that."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"I was told that is what the inter-thing is for," she said, blushing.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Not all of it," Teddy insisted, shaking his head quickly. "You just have to be careful with what you search for."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"That's certainly better than I thought," she sighed. "I'll have to actually go look at it, now."

...like the internet was something she could just look at.

"You could try... Wikipedia first," Teddy said. "It's pretty non-dirty."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Wicky-pedia?" she repeated curiously.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"It's like a dictionary online." A beat. "That you can add to."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"...it can't be very accurate, then can it?" she asked.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Well, most people are good about not making stuff up," Teddy said. Because he thought it all sounded about right. Right?

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Is there some group that checks their work?" she asked.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"...I think so?" He had no idea. "But it's fun to read."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"And I can edit things to be funny!" she said gleefully.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"You could..." Teddy admitted, wondering if he did something horrible suggesting this to her.
