[Brandon looks, for all intents and purposes, bored as hell.]

You know what this place really needs?

[Bit of a pause. Purely for dramatic effect, you understand. He is an actor.]

Twitter.

And if you have to ask me what that is, you're seriously dead to me. Like. Don't even try.

What's Twitter?

[trololololo in ur post calling ur bluff]

Edited (subject line) 2012-09-26 17:39 (UTC)

Cooler than you.

[He's not sticking his tongue out, but his tone suggests he should be.]

Not with a name like "Twitter."

[Says the Sub-Mariner.]

Hey I won't take such slander against the overlord of the Internet lightly! I don't care if you are Atlantean.

[y e p.]

I still don't know what you're talking about.

[Nita totally understands the Internet. Robbie explained it to her once.]

It's like a micro-blogging platform where you have to cram everything you need to say into a hundred and sixty characters.

[He'll explain it to Nita because she's... Nita. Okay?]

Blogging?

[She predates everything you love, Brandon.]

[he's staring in actual horror.]

Tell me you didn't just ask me that.

Maybe just pretend I was raised underwater off the coast of Antarctica, if that helps.

[On account of she was.]

[Head in hands.]

So a blog is like... information you publish on the internet in one centralized location, right?

[or something like that he's never actually looked into it.]

And blogging is...

[come on you should be able to guess.]

[It's short for "web-logging," Brandon.]

So it's like an encyclopedia on a computer?

... Not really. It's like... you know, you can have a food blog or something where you post pictures and recipes and stuff. Or a movie blog where you talk about movies you've seen. Or just your life in general. It doesn't have to be useful. Most of the time it's pretty much the opposite of useful.

That sounds...pretty cool, actually.

[You realize Nita would have a blog, right?]

Yeah? Well, you could always do something like that here. The network would support it, it's just... you know, probably not a good idea to spam everybody like it's 4chan or something.

[it would be called 'under the sea', wouldn't it.]

[Don't give her ideas.]

It's not like I have anything to talk about. I mean, I'm not even on a team here.

You could always keep us updated on the ocean. I mean, if we make landfall eventually then wouldn't you theoretically be able to get to the bottom at some point, once the turtle's in shallow enough water?

Depends how fast the continental shelf drops off.

I'm not even going to pretend I understand how that works.

[He didn't really do that whole school thing like a normal kid.]

[Surface dwellers are so ignorant, gosh.]

The part up close to shore that's above water during an ice age.

[Nita's gesturing in an effort to clarify what she means, but it's not particularly helpful. She pauses as something occurs to her.]

I have no idea if that's how things work here. I mean, we're on a giant turtle.

Well, yeah, but the laws of... I don't know, science or whatever probably still apply.

[Oh, he is but a young comic book character...]

Not if we're not in our universe.

I wish Doc Richards were here.

[HE KNOWS EVERYTHING and since Nita spent a while being a Fantastic Four supporting character, she actually likes him.]

Ugh, that douchebag? Why even?

[Brandon has a) never met Reed and b) doesn't care to ever do so. But doesn't everyone think he's an asshole these days?]

[tmw when you're not even sure if "douchebag" is current slang at your character's canon point.

Oh well it's pretty clearly derogatory.]

He's the smartest man in the world and I don't want to hear it.

[Glare.]

Holy crap, Nita. It's not like I insulted your mom.

He saved my life! He and Nova saved the whole universe. What have you done lately?

[Sensitive subject, apparently.]
