well, for the moment things are still cute and exciting for these two]
It's pretty easy to make fire, so can't be that much harder to make stuff blow up, right?
[he starts scrounging through the wood, plastic, garbage, and other places for the raw materials needed to make some kind of gross, Devilish monster for them to fill with their bootleg fireworks]
So what's a "programmer" anyway? That a computer thing?
Fire's reaaaaaal easy to do. That's why there's so many safety protocols!
[ time to forgo every last one. futaba will be poking at the 3D printer she's fallen in love with and waking up the tech half of the lab to get things started ]
But yeah! It's people who know how to instruct computers how to do tasks.
Lotsa people here have talked about it. It's like a buncha books on the computer but also like a phone? Can you do any fun stuff on it?
[side note: I was curious to see how widespread internet use was in normal Japan history circa 1997 and somehow found this writeup from 1998?? tl;dr: not a lot, so definitely not denji!]
[he's gathered a collection of raw materials and junk onto a tabletop and is looking around for tape and nails and the like to start assembling it into....something!]
So you can make friends and learn how to blow stuff up with the internet?
Well, since we don't have the internet here I'm glad I got you to teach me this kinda stuff!
And...I'm glad I could meet you and hang out with you, too. [he sneaks a shy look and smile at her, before carefully studying his garbage monster work]

It's a deal! I'm more a programmer than an engineer anyway but I'm sure we can make something fun.

Date: 2021-07-13 08:15 pm (UTC)[ she's beaming right back ]
But I taught myself. The internet helped a lot.

It's honestly far too easy to find how to blow things up.

Y'know, if ya got time and...want to
[he quickly finishes attaching something and starts building another garbage monster, still carefully avoiding any direct eye contact]

Date: 2021-07-20 06:30 pm (UTC)Yeah.... Yeah, we could.
[ and then Thursday happens ]
no subject
Date: 2021-07-21 09:30 am (UTC)So how's our custom-made firework explosive things comin' along?
no subject
Date: 2021-07-21 03:55 pm (UTC)We've got some fun stuff here. If we use this and mix it with your tower I think it'll work perfectly.
[ "this" being an accelerator of some sort. you know, exactly the sort of things teens shouldn't be playing with unmonitored. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-07-22 08:09 am (UTC)Alright! Should we maybe take it all outside in case it, I dunno, makes some deadly chemical smoke or somethin'?
no subject
Date: 2021-07-23 05:08 pm (UTC)That's probably for the best. [ time to move everything to the outdoor section!!! ] It'd be really silly if we stayed inside for that.

no subject
Date: 2021-07-26 09:36 am (UTC)Oh, like if someone tries to come after you, you can activate it like a ninja trap!
[as they leave the lab, he point with his foot towards the field]
How 'bout out there? One of the fields is like a dirt one, right?
no subject
Date: 2021-07-27 04:51 pm (UTC)Yeah! That's it exactly.
[ but she will swerve her way to the field. ]
This should work perfectly though.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-27 10:17 pm (UTC)[a beat as he realizes his excited chatter is asking her to do more stuff with him, like an even longer date]
...if you want! I dunno how long Taichi said you gotta hang out or if you got other stuff to do, but...I'm havin' a good time.
no subject
Date: 2021-08-02 06:06 pm (UTC)Yeah... I'd like that. This has been fun.
[ she's absolutely out of her depth but friend dates are totally a thing!! she'll survive, probably ]
Taichi just suggested it, really. But I don't mind! I wasn't doing much anyway.

Date: 2021-08-03 11:11 am (UTC)[he's all hopped up on het success so with a burst of energy he zooms off towards the field with his garbage monsters]
