Oh, I just now got that this is part of the bit.

Well played.

Never mind.

Have you tried calling Geek Squad? I hear they’re good with this computer stuff.

Hello, new friend! You wanna get in on our weekly Pretty Cure groupwatch?

    Avenida Whatever you are trying to ask me about is being censored by the filters that have been applied to this paranode. That’s a problem on my end. I can answer you after I’ve fixed it. Who knows how long that will take, though.

      Oh dear. Is there a permissions problem again? Lee told me that was fixed yesterday…

      For reference, here is how your [?text block?] looks to me. Or at least how it looks to me as it would look to you.

      Hello, new friend! You wanna get in on [CONTEXT ERROR: CONCEPT NOT CLEARED FOR LOCAL PARASPACE]

      I see.

      …

      Have you tried calling Geek Squad? I hear they’re good with this computer stuff.

      wait wait wait. Hold on. I think I’ve got one of them working.

      I at least know there’s more than one. That’s a good sign.

      Well the bitrate is incredibly low, but I can at least get some sense of what I’m looking at right now. The other one is still completely busted, though.

      I say “the other one.” I think there are only two? I can’t be sure.

      What is this? Some kind of bulletin board?

      Avenida “Pretty Cure”? I’m not presently ill, nor presently ugly.

        That’s OK. We could watch some other anime instead. You a Dandadan fan?

        I do not know what an ime is. I am not a fan although sometimes I bring Pluto one if she is too warm.

        Can you please tell me what I’m looking at here?

        Right, right. Let’s start with the basics. Do you know what a “website” is? If not, Geek Squad can probably explain it to you…

        I know what an infonode is and can infer from context that a website is what they call them in your society.

        I do not know what a geek is nor why I would need a squad of them to explain a concept to me.

        OK, well, you can call it an infonode if you’re more comfortable with that, but this is one of those. Specifically one I run so I can talk to my friends. I don’t know if you know any of my friends. One of them is named Salix. Actually, several of them are named Salix, but they’re all still kind of—no, let’s take this one step at a time. I don’t think Geek Squad can explain dissociative identity disorder.
