Outside in a quiet corner of the garden, well away from the lake, a birthday party has been set up.

There's a paddling pool with some toys in, a picnic spread out on a cloth, and a sign saying 'Happy Birthday Coral'.

"Yeah. Well, electrical patterns. D'you know computers?"

She shakes her head slowly.

"I've seen, ah, devices belongin' t'somma my friends here. They look like books, but they've got a window on 'em like a television set. S'amazin', the things they can do."

"Okay. Well, I'm a computer program."

ikissdhimbck: (Wince)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
An easier concept, perhaps, for someone not of the nineteenth century.


"As in..."

She arches her eyebrows.


"...You're part of a computer?"

Date: 2011-07-05 05:58 am (UTC)
a1enzo: (shrug)
From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"Yeah. In my world, programs are people, and computers are... sort of like countries. Not exactly, but that's the closest human thing."

ikissdhimbck: (Stormclouds on the horizon)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Goodness."

She can't quite wrap her mind around the idea, but she thinks she understands at least the basic concept.

"So, is there anythin' here y'can eat?"

Enzo nods and indicates a section of the table where all the food looks like plastic window displays, peculiarly smooth, just like Enzo himself.

"...Is that tasty?"

Date: 2011-07-07 08:40 pm (UTC)
a1enzo: (wry)
From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"Is to me. You shouldn't try it unless you want to be electrocuted."

Date: 2011-07-07 08:53 pm (UTC)
ikissdhimbck: (Amused by you til the very end)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
She lets out a sharp but quiet laugh.

"I'll bear that in mind an' stick t'my peaches, then."

Enzo nods and grins.

"I might try some later, if there's any left after the party. We've got a digitizer upstairs, so I can convert them."

Date: 2011-07-07 09:16 pm (UTC)
ikissdhimbck: (Are you serious?)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Really? Y'can change 'em into pure energy?"

How completely fascinating.

"Can y'do that with all sorts of things, or only food?"

Date: 2011-07-07 09:18 pm (UTC)
a1enzo: (smug)
From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"All sorts. Wanna be a sprite?"

Date: 2011-07-11 05:55 pm (UTC)
ikissdhimbck: (Are you serious?)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
She's taken aback.






"Me? A sprite?"

She laughs, but it's almost nervous sounding.

"I dunno. Could I get changed back after?"

"Sure. It's totally safe. My girlfriend's human, and we change to visit each other's worlds all the time."

Not that Kate needs to try it if she doesn't want to. He's mostly just making the point. She's welcome to if she does want to, though!

ikissdhimbck: (Surprised Cowgirl)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Gracious."

Kate's always been fascinated by the scientific. You'll find any opportunity presented to her is at least considered, if not immediately agreed to.

"I might take you up on that someday. At least t'see how it works."

"Sure thing."

Pause.

"I'm Enzo, by the way. Enzo Matrix."

The hand he offers is large, plastic-smooth, and if it's warm, that's only because the air around it is.

Date: 2011-07-12 03:05 am (UTC)
ikissdhimbck: (Miss Katherine)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Beggin' your pardon."

Sometimes she plumb forgets her manners.

"Kate Barlow. I think I've seen you 'round the stables before, Mr. Matrix."

She takes the proffered hand, slightly surprised by the feeling of it. But she gives it a warm shake.

Date: 2011-07-12 03:16 am (UTC)

From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"Probably," he agrees. "And it's just Enzo, please. Matrix is what we call my brother."

Date: 2011-07-12 04:38 am (UTC)
ikissdhimbck: (Smiling)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Oh, of course."

She's grown used to having to dispense with the formalities around this place.

"Have y'known Guppy long?"

Date: 2011-07-12 04:47 am (UTC)

From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"Ages. Since before he got married, let alone had the kids."

ikissdhimbck: (Kate Curious Questioning Worried)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"Gracious. What a thing it is that the bar kept you comin' together all this time."

Date: 2011-07-14 06:38 pm (UTC)
a1enzo: (Default)
From: [personal profile] a1enzo
"Oh, I come here on purpose."

Theoretically, of course, the bar, or the Landlord or whatever, could keep him out.

He tries not to think about that.

ikissdhimbck: (Smiling)
From: [personal profile] ikissdhimbck
"I reckon I mean with a place as unpredictable an' sprawlin' as Milliways, it's a lovely thing that you an' Guppy haven't lost touch."

"Oh, yeah. 'Course, he makes himself pretty easy to find, usually, and I can always check the infirmary."
