Tuesday, May 26th. [ after workshops ].

When Dinah had mentioned to Valentine an IM program utilizing the computer, of course she had planned to check it out. Now that her workshops were finished, she settled in her room around her laptop, looking into it, setting herself up not with just one account, but two ~~mocking her mun who still doesn't know how to do that~~, one to be clearly her, the other...

...well, she'd gotten used to anonymity on the Nets. She wanted to have fun with it again.

semper_fi: ...what's a troll?
semper_fi: Okay.

She really didn't know. In either the online sense or the fantastical sense.

demosthenes: Something I'm not.

nottheholiday: internet slang. a person who posts something just to get a rise or a reaction out of other people or stir up trouble.

demosthenes: Exactly. And I am merely enlightening people. That's all.

semper_fi: "Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment."
semper_fi: thanks
semper_fi: I'll keep it in mind.

demosthenes: Lao Tzu. Very nice.

semper_fi: He's a favorite.

demosthenes: "All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action."

semper_fi: nottheholiday?

She wasn't answering something that didn't actually answer her. One-upmanship was saved for her brother.

nottheholiday: what?

semper_fi: Just not feeding the troll.

nottheholiday: awwww, it was actually entertaining once it was off my back. :)

semper_fi: There are better quotes.
semper_fi: And ones more on topic.
semper_fi: I think someone has a favorite.

demosthenes: Clearly. That was the point.

nottheholiday: It's good to know that Net bitchery is a classic tradition.

semper_fi: There's a block button on here, isn't there?
semper_fi: Anyway, I'm Fiona. Have we met?

nottheholiday: I think? I'm new to this particular kind of IMing, so I haven't figured it out yet.
nottheholiday: and we have! This is Valentine.
nottheholiday: Get it?

semper_fi: Of course.
semper_fi: From class, yes?

nottheholiday: Right. How's it going?

semper_fi: Very good. Yourself?

nottheholiday: Glad that Dinah clued me into the IM systems here.

semper_fi: I kind of stumbled into it.

nottheholiday: That's not too bad, either. Now the trick is being able to stumble on it again.
nottheholiday: if you like it, that is.

semper_fi: I can do it again.
semper_fi: And I think I will.

nottheholiday: It's not too bad of a waste of time. It's like the campfires, but without the actual fire and outside and actually talking to people for real.
