fandomhigh | Computer Science and Repair- Tuesday- 2nd period

The class was in the computer lab today. Kitty wasn't entirely sure when people were from, so in addition to sending out an email about it, she'd also put a note on the door to the regular classroom, with instructions on how to get there because she was nice like that.

"Hey, guys," she greeted them. "Welcome to Computer Science and Repair. I'm Kitty Pryde-Barton, and I don't really care what you call me. I've got a long and storied history in this field, building and programming and accessing certain things and the like." Most of it was even legal. "Now it's my job to teach it to you. My one rule here is to only use your powers for good. I don't want you using any of this to do anything nefarious, there will be no using it to bully anyone, and I don't want the FBI calling me for any reason. Most of the time we'll be in the Danger Shop where we can play around a little more, but today we're going to start off easy.

"This is introduction week, more or less, so I want to hear your name, when and where you're from, and what your experience level is on this stuff before we get into it."

"Today you're going to build your own website," Kitty told them once they'd gotten through introductions. "There are ways to do it online for free, or you can pay a website for their hosting and tools. You're going to use a free trial today. You can build a website about whatever you want, as long as you remember you're in a class. If you want to make it about yourself or dedicate it to your hobby, it's up to you. And if you decide it's something you like and want to keep doing, you can just take it over when the trial is done. The site will tell you what to do, and if you need any help, I'm right here."

Guess who was making the loudest, most obnoxious, gif-filled, playing-music-from-somewhere-and-you-can't-find-how-to-mute-it website dedicated to chocobos ever???

THIS GUY!

Look, Prompto really was good at all this stuff. He did stuff like this in his free time, pretty much. But there was still no accounting for taste.

He was especially proud of managing to turn even the cursor into a chocobo when on the page. It went "Wark!" when you right clicked and "Kweh!" when you left clicked! It was pretty much the greatest thing to ever exist.

Tisarwat didn't really know what a website was, and, at this point, she was too afraid to ask.

The concept, of course, was not too unfamiliar: a digital page with information of interest to the person viewing it. The specifics, however, were what managed to stick her up a bit, and remind her of how clunky and inefficient technology on this planet was. Back home, most of the time, you would ask, and blink, and there was all the information for you that you could want, though she supposed they weren't much different from consoles you found here and there where there wasn't a connection to a station or you just didn't have the proper implants, and the instructions were right there and pretty basic, but having to do everything manually like this was just tedious.

And she had no idea even what to make a website of. She wound up spending half her time just playing with color options and themes and trying to adjust them in an aesthetically pleasing way, which, with some of these templates, was not easy...

Trevor turned the computer on. Be very proud of him.

"What's a website again?"

Yeeeeah.

"Think if it as a page of information you can read from a screen," Kitty said.

Maybe she should have started out easier.

"So, a TV book." How concise. "Better than the one at the 'hologram' place."

Still basically witchcraft. Not that there was anything wrong with it in this instance.

"...Sure, let's go with that," Kitty decided, because he wasn't exactly wrong? "Usually more pictures on a website."
