Computers & Fun #7 7/5 Wednesday Afternoon - Computer Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The lab coats were not hanging by the door of the lab. They were folded in front of Abby at the front desk and she sat quietly as everyone came in and took their seats.

"Today is our last day of class, although feel free to sign up for my class next term. We'll be covering different territory." Abby clicked a button on her own laptop and the projection screen behind her lit up with a flash. "Today we're going to talk about the human side of internet safety. We've already gotten our computers safe from viruses, trojans and other baddies with our firewalls, but now we need to work on something harder. Putting a firewall up against people."

Abby walked around and sat on the edge of the desk, her hands moving quickly as she spoke. "I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but I totally am going to. There are very scary people out there and they will try and trick you to letting them find out everything they can about your personal life. Sometimes they want the information to wheedle you out of money or property, other times they want the info because they want to get close to you. Really, really gross kind of close. The kind of close where you share bodily fluids." There was a quick shudder and then Abby was back on task. "Stalkers are bad. The only way to learn how to combat them is by CONSTANT VIGILANCE learning what they're like and what tricks they use. That's why this afternoon we're going to stalk each other."

"Everyone sign onto a chatroom and start talking each other up, getting to know each other. Half of you will be creepy stalkers and the other half will be victims. Try not to let any personal information slip out!" Abby grinned. "And when you're finished, I've got a present for you."

[12:59] Zacharina: I have breasts!

Zack stared at his fingers. He could not believe he'd just typed that.

[13:00] CleverRed: Can I see them?

Willow couldn't believe she'd typed that either.

Zack started to type a response about how they'd only just met wasn't that just a bit premature.

[13:01] Zacharina: Of course!

...or not. He wondered whether anyone would notice if he started head-desking.

Willow tried not to eep out loud. Then she tried to stay in character.

[13:02] CleverRed: Oh good.
[13:02] CleverRed: I mean great!
[13:02] CleverRed: Or possibly gr8
[13:03] CleverRed: Because I am all about the boobies.
[13:03] CleverRed: As guys like me are known for.
[13:03] CleverRed: Dude.

Flailing, Zack frantically opened his browser and started a search that would likely get him in trouble if he got caught.

[13:04] Zacharina: I am also about the boobies.
[13:04] Zacharina: Being a girl and thus in possession of them. Which can be quite a distraction.
[13:05] Zacharina: Yay boobies.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow pondered this.

[13:06] CleverRed: You're gay?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:06] Zacharina: ...
[13:07] Zacharina: Well...
[13:08] Zacharina: I do like girls...

Which was kind of the truth.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:09] CleverRed: Oh me too.
[13:09] CleverRed: Plus I'm very into girls who like girls.
[13:09] CleverRed: As guys like me are known to do.
[13:10] CleverRed: Because whoo boy, is that hot.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:11] Zacharina: It is?
[13:11] Zacharina: I mean, of course it is, nothing hotter.
[13:12] Zacharina: Except maybe guys who like guys.

That was it. As soon as he got of of class he was going to break every bone in his fingers so he could never type again.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:13] CleverRed: Oh yeah, totally.

Willow facepalmed.

[13:14] CleverRed: Because I am secure enough in my masculinity to say so.
[13:15] CleverRed: Also the size of my car, though I'm not exactly sure how that relates to me feeling secure about anything.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:16] Zacharina: It's not the size of your car, it's what you do with it!
[13:16] Zacharina: Uh, or so I've read.

Zack steered the conversation back to what was suddenly a far more comforting subject.

[13:17] Zacharina: But..yeah...nothing more exciting that the idea of Agent Ruth just bending the snarky lab assistant over in the lab, in defiance of health and safety regulations
[13:18]or even comfort, because really, a stainless steel autopsy table is going to be rather cold on naked skin.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:19] CleverRed: You don't find Agent Ruth to be a little forehead-heavy?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:20] Zacharina: Somewhat, but at least he has better hair than in Seraph. And really, with a body like that who's going to be looking at his forehead?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:21] CleverRed: True. Plus when you're short enough you can't see stuff like that easily anyway.
[13:21] CleverRed: Not that I am short.
[13:22] CleverRed: I'm very tall.
[13:22] CleverRed: Six foot... ten.
[13:23] CleverRed: and a half.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:21] Zacharina: But you *can* be swept off your feet. [13:21] Zacharina: Or bent over an autopsy table as the case may be
[13:22] Zacharina: Six foot ten and a half?

Zack eyed Sam out of the corner of his eye.

[13:22] Zacharina: Really?
[13:23] Zacharina: That's...tall.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:24] CleverRed: Is it?
[13:24] CleverRed: I, uh, play basketball.
[13:24] CleverRed: Constantly.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:25] Zacharina: You do?
[13:25] Zacharina: Are you on the team?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:26] CleverRed: Sure?
[13:26] CleverRed: Go team!

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack did a quick mental rundown of the team rosters.

[13:27] Zacharina: Conner?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was so not clever.

[13:28] CleverRed: What about him?

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack frowned.

[13:29] Zacharina: Well, he's the only one in this class on the team other than that Zack guy.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow thought quick.

[13:30] CleverRed: You got me.
[13:30] CleverRed: I'm Connor.
[13:31] CleverRed: I mean Conner.
[13:31] CleverRed: Boy are girls hot.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:32] Zacharina: Yes, yes they are.

A sudden radio-inspired thought struck Zack.

[13:33] Zacharina: Of course it's okay to admit you like boys too.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

[13:34] CleverRed: But I'm on the internet for the boobies.
[13:34] CleverRed: Which, like girls, are hot.

Re: Stalk Each Other!

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

[13:34] Zacharina: That's why the net was born. For porn boobies.
[13:35] Zacharina: But what about Anders?
