[Action]

You'll find Riza in the Quad today, staring more like glaring at this silver rectangular object that was opened up on her lap. To her, it looked somewhat like a typewriter from her time. Pushing the 'Power Button', as they called it, she turned the laptop on, watching the screen light up.

One way or another, she was going to figure out this BBS system before the next Quarter started. At least the secretary in the Headmaster's office was kind enough to show her how to log in. All she had to do now was post her first BBS message, not that she knew how...

She supposed, like everything else around Balamb Gardens, she would have to learn eventually. If anyone feels like stopping for a visit, go ahead. Maybe you can show her how to operate this.... thing.

Ciel was still not exactly sure how to use the thing, either. He had, at the very least, figured out how to type and had managed one reply, but it was more of a fluke than anything.

He noticed the woman had hers open and thought, perhaps, he could get some advice. Oh, he knew he could simply ask Tobias, but he also knew that he needed to start making some allies. Especially with Grell lurking about.

Ciel turned on his best innocent smile and approached.

"Pardon me..."

[Spotting that glare, the cadet comes over, pausing only to salute briefly on account of mistaking Riza for a SeeD.]

Ma'am, is something the matter?

Snake made his way over, having recognized her from the dance, but it was Emily that made it to her first, slithering on the ground beside Snake. They had to get some exercise or they would become very lazy, after all. A fat snake looked odd.

He looked like he was going to say something, but looked to Oscar and seemed to loose nerve.

No laptops where you're from?

[She thinks back -- way back, since the technology is before her time.] Are you at all familiar with typewriters?

"My apologies. I didn't mean to startle you," he said, inclining his head apologetically.

"I was wondering if you could help me with those things." Ciel pointed to the object. "I've been having trouble learning on my own."

Just Maria is fine, ma'am. [This is just becoming a weird mixture of formalities...]

To start with, think of this like a typewriter. Except instead of a piece of paper, it remembers what you type inside it, and it can show you it any time, or do other things with it.

"Oh..." Ciel smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck. "I'm sorry to have bothered you, then. It is quite difficult, isn't it?"
gunbladegrrl: (wat)

[Cadet!? That earns a brief flash of surprise -- no offense to Riza, but she seems significantly older than Maria herself. Still, she relaxes after a moment and offers a hand.]

Well, welcome aboard?

[ surprise attack from behind! ]

HELLO?

Oscar waved his tail at Riza, though as usual Snake's expression remained fairly blank. "'It is nice to see you as well,' says Emily." Snake points to the laptop, "'We still can't figure out ours,' says Emily."

"There isn't anything like it where I'm from, either," Ciel says, "It's fascinating, though. When one can get it to operate."

Will it help if I explain how a laptop works a little bit, or will the science behind it just get in the way of using it?
silentscales: (this is my nervous face)

Snake sits and Emily slithers up his leg, settling on his lap, looking rather content. She makes sure to face towards Riza, apparently listening still. Snake gently grasps his pants, still a little nervous, even if he did like Riza so far.

"'I don't think so,' says Oscar.

"... 'I wish they did,' is what Emily says."
her_watchdog: (You must be joking...)

"Well, I did once," Ciel admits, "But I've been unable to replicate that minor success."
