The internet is like...

[ a pause

how. how the fuck do you explain this. ]

Okay, tell me what computers are like where you're from.

[catraclysm]

[ hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

I don't know, they're just machines? They're used to control other stuff.

[bakaomi]

With the internet, you can do things like play games and stuff. It's really useful.

[catraclysm]

Didn't you have that guy's game?

[ taka took senri's switch ]

[bakaomi]

I have no idea where it is right now.

[catraclysm]

I meant, if all you use the Internet for is to play games, what are you missing?

[ this is incredibly stupid. ]

[bakaomi]

You can do other stuff with it too, but it's hard to explain if you have no frame of reference.

[catraclysm]

[ bluhhhh ]

Fair enough, that's kinda how it feels whenever I talk about the Horde.

[bakaomi]

...

The Horde?

[catraclysm]

Yeah, like that.

[ she groans a bit as she tries to remember how she'd simplified it before ]

The military regime that's omnipresent back where I'm from. I was raised there.

[bakaomi]

[ when is a military regime ever not bad ]

And what's that like?

[catraclysm]

It wasn't great, but then it got a whole lot better recently. [ it's conversational in tone at best. ] And now I'm here.

[bakaomi]

... good for you then.

[ MILITARY REGIMES NEVER SOUND GOOD but taka does not know enough about the horde to question it ]

[catraclysm]

[ catra was nice and did not call it by its real name of the evil horde, so like, yea ]

You could try to sound a little less dubious. [ but she. doesn't sound bothered. ]

[bakaomi]

I can only be as certain as you are vague.

[catraclysm]

I try not to share Horde propaganda if I can help it.

[ CALLING IT PROPAGANDA REALLY HELPS, CATRA ]

I'm not saying it's good, but honestly? The rebellion manages to be worse, so, whatever.

[bakaomi]

There's a rebellion?

[ why is everyone's world like this why can't you all be from a normal idol canon like him ]

[catraclysm]

A Princess Rebellion.

[ look. she thinks it's stupid too. ]

If you want details, Entrapta's the one to ask.

[bakaomi]

Well that's.

What.

[catraclysm]

I don't name these things.

[ clearly? ]

[bakaomi]

Was she involved in it then if she knows more about it?

[catraclysm]

Yeah. And now she isn't.

[ catra don't share details of other people's backstories ]

[bakaomi]

So that's how you know each other? She joined the Horde?

[catraclysm]

Something like that. We'd met before at a neutral ground party, but that was a whole other thing.

[ she has fond memories of princess prom, but please don't make me use the words princess prom ]

[bakaomi]

Huh.

So were you close before you came here?
