Library [11/06]

[furnaceface]

And that was that, then. No more Halloween decorations, no more eerie sounds playing in the background. No more plotting tricks to take the place of treats in Jonothon's absence of a lower jaw.

And reading to do, for class, because he had been entirely out of sorts on Monday and he had to read up on Buddhism to make up for the utter daze he'd been during Lady Ghanima's lecture.

At least he was in the proper place for it.

Jono was now giving Bobby his best 'I still think you are insane' look. Apparently, he was very expressive this morning.

//I don't even know how to turn on a computer, and yer want to set me up with some sort of... online... thing?//

...

//So that I can raise cows?//

Please. Bobby got that look so often from various people he was practically immune to it. "Yes," he decided. And really, the 'not being able to turn on a computer' thing just clinched it. "You're in the 21st century now, Jono. Computers are important."

//And yet, here I am, miraculously having survived day-by-day without touchin' a single one.//

... Figuring out how to work menus on DVDs had been a triumph in its own right. Jono was quite content with his little victories over the new and shiny inventions of the last decade and a half.

"So far," Bobby felt compelled to add. "Come on, dude, it's fun!" he wheedled.

Stand firm, Jono! Once you hear the siren call of the little sad black kitten, all is lost!

//I don't even own a computer, mate.//

My oh my, was that a little lost kitten showing up on Bobby's farm? Why yes, yes it was. What a coincidence! Bobby clicked the "Help Kitten" button and posted it to his wall. As for the not owning a computer... Bobby just gave Jono a smirk and a significant glance over to where the library computers were. "You work in a library, dude."

Re: Morning [11/06]

[furnaceface]

Jono... Was now also looking toward the library computers.

...

//Oh, no, mate. No, no, no. Knowin' my luck with those things, I'd probably find some way to, I don't know... Blow th'bloody thing up.//

By playing on Facebook. It made sense, really.

Re: Morning [11/06]

"Sure," Bobby scoffed. "Come on, dude. I'll help you set up an account."

Re: Morning [11/06]

[furnaceface]

Hey, it wasn't too far-fetched! Jono had blown up plenty of things in the past!

//If it'll get yer to leave off about it,// he decided. Thus opening the doorway to his ultimate doom. //Fine. An account it is, then.//

This would be interesting. Jono was very much a member of the 'I do not even understand how to use Google' club.

It was only because he didn't know Jono quite well enough yet that Bobby didn't physically drag him over to the computers area of the library. "All right," he said, flopping down in front of one of the computers. Facebook account. I'm guessing your school email's the only one you've got?" A reasonable guess, he felt, if Jono didn't even have a computer of his own.

Re: Morning [11/06]

//That would be correct,// Jono replied, crossing his arms over his chest and doing his damnedest to look Not Best Pleased about all of this. //And I haven't figured out how to check that, either.//

Re: Morning [11/06]

[longislandiceme]

"Well, then I'll just have to help you with that too," Bobby declared. "It's not hard, I promise."

Re: Morning [11/06]

Jonothon wasn't going to possibly win this one, was he?

//Yer going to walk me through every step of this, aren't yer? Whether I like it or not.//
