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]

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.
