"Well, clearly." Door tabs down a bit, then makes a face. "Neither should semi-colons."

"I don't even want to know what you'd do with a -- oh. Oh. Yeah, this is the sort of thing that's going to make punctuation rise up and revolt someday."

"Why would someone write that?" Yes, she already heard the I DON'T KNOW back when she thought it was the answer to a completely different question. But asking again might distract from the flailure. "I mean... does someone somewhere actually think that's sexy?"

"Definitely not me," Conner says, probably using up his entire stock of emphasis for the week. "But the scary thing is, somebody probably does. Which may or may not be scarier than the fact that someone thinks it's funny."

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

Door rallies, or at least makes an attempt to. "Well... the look on your face is funny..."

Re: Seventh Period

"I think my face is stuck this way," Conner complains. "It has been since an hour ago."

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

"Maybe if you turned off the computer?"

And yet she makes NO MOVE TO DO SO.

"I tried that!"

Actually, he hasn't actually done anything except alternately stare, and scroll down.

Re: Seventh Period

"Maybe we could work together? I'll close my eyes and reach for the switch, and you just tell me left or right and up or down."

HEY THERE HAVE BEEN STUPIDER PLANS TO ESCAPE BIGGER MENACES. Hummus we're looking at you.

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

YES. YES THERE HAVE.

"Okay," Conner says. "Let's try that."

He's still kind of staring at the text on the screen, though.

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

Door closes her eyes. And reaches. For the laptop.

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

This thing is such a trainwreck. Conner seriously can't look away. And the page ends, maddeningly, right in the middle of one particularly trainwrecky sentence.

"Okay, um, a little bit to the left."

Yeah. Toward the Page Down key.

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

Door moves her fingers a little to the left. For various factors of 'a little.'

"This doesn't feel like an off-switch."

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Well, no. But one of those annoying Yes or No boxes just popped up on the screen and I want to get rid of it first."

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

"I assume the answer's no." But Door dutifully presses the button like a complete tool.

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"The answer is oh my god that's nasty and how is that even physically possible?"

D'oh.

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

Door opens her eyes and starts to turn to glare at Conner except well, SCREEN.

"I hate you."

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Speaking of things that shouldn't be physically possible, the human face shouldn't be able to contort itself in as many simultaneous ways as Conner's appears to be right now.

"I kind of hate me too at the moment."

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

"...Want to try that again only you close your eyes and I'll guide when I wake up?"

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Sure, why not?" If he can get his eyelids to function much like his player's which now refuse to stay open.

Re: Seventh Period

Door waits for Conner's eyes to close zomgpresumptive modding, then finally says, "Down and to the BANANA? And a cockatiel?????"

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner's zomgpresumptivelymoddedshut eyes close just in time to catch the bit about the cockatiel. Not so much with the closed, any more.

". . . dirty."

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

"Gotcha."

There is no cockatiel, or banana. There is only Zul Door closing her own eyes and darting out her hand towards the off-switch.

Re: Seventh Period

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

And there is Conner, not trying to stop her this time, because the mental images of cockatiels and bananas have just caused his brain to shut down.

So he totally forgets to give her directions.

Re: Seventh Period

[notajar]

Door opens her eyes.

To find that she hit the FULLSCREEN button.
