Hello? You broke the internet?

dusty_divinity March 13 2009, 06:05:56 UTC

Oh, goodness! Hello there, young lady. W-why this machine beeped at me, and I now appear to be able to read what you say. How delightful.

er...Yes....you see, I was in my apartment and I was fiddle-faddling around with an internet, and I pressed the key marked delete, and I appear to have deleted the local reality in which I made my home. Might you be able to point me to the nearest computer so that I might attempt to undo the process, please?

er.....

Sincerely Grateful,

Oh! Uh...

I don't think its your computer that got everything screwed up. So don't worry! It's not your fault or anything. I...really don't think you could get here by pushing the wrong buttons.

I'm Coraline? And we can just talk. It doesn't have to be like...strict letters or anything.

dusty_divinity March 13 2009, 16:54:56 UTC

Truly? I have such....unusual.....luck that I wouldn't put it past those infernal machines to erase reality.

What a pleasure to meet you Coraline, and what a lovely name. I am Mr. A. Ziraphale.

Oh? Alright.

Casually,
A. Ziraphale

I... don't think you can break reality, dude. Or the internet.

dusty_divinity March 13 2009, 17:16:42 UTC

I dearly hope I didn't. I'm not very used to computers, or to internet.

Allow me to introduce myself; I am Mr. A. Ziraphale. Who might you be, if I could be so bold as to ask?

Sincerely,
Mr. A. Ziraphale

Operator. How may I direct your call?

[Voice] dusty_divinity March 13 2009, 18:26:02 UTC

[The voice is hugely relieved and sweetly happy]

Hello, Operator. Heavens, I am glad to hear your voice. Could you please transfer me to Anthony J Crowley, London?

Re: [Voice] viva_la_impala March 14 2009, 13:06:35 UTC

Will this be a collect call?

Re: [Voice] dusty_divinity March 15 2009, 18:41:11 UTC

Oh, not at all. I have my debit card in my pocket, just hold on a moment. [there are rather frantic sounds of moving about] Alright, my number is 2344-5986-3216-7844, and the name on the card is Aziraphale Ziraphale. Thank you so much for picking up.

Quite a few people are on the line, it seems.

dusty_divinity March 15 2009, 18:32:53 UTC

Why so it seems! I've never been to a party like this before. My name is Mr. A. Ziraphale, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir.

It's a computer network. There are a few people on the line.

dusty_divinity March 15 2009, 18:35:43 UTC

Computer network? I remember my associate speaking on such things. Does this mean we are speaking on an internet?

Ah, I nearly forgot - I am Mr. A. Ziraphale, and it is very nice to meet you.

Of sorts, I suppose. These hand held terminals and the ones in the walls in some places are all connected via a network. We can see and respond to anything put on them by other people here.

You're from London?
