[Gibson was slowly starting to get accustomed to this new world, though it seemed to his Outlands-adjusted eyes that the vile sun was actually staying in the sky for longer every day, bit by bit.

[He groans a little.]

Back up to a hundred percent, sure. Just. Gotta. Wait for the pain to wear off....

[asdfakjdjks;d he is actually pulling at his hair right now without realizing it, looking from Gibs to the wall outlet and back a few times.]

Why did - that's an electrical socket, isn't it? It's dangerous to stick things in them!

[and he should know! he has read it in a book. /nod nod]

[He rolls over, so he's at least sitting up now.]

How else am I supposed to get energy out of it, though? That's how the lights work!

But... the lights use a special cord, I think, right...?

You know. Food.

I'm not made out of blood and bones and--[what were some of the other words Hard Harry had used?]--snot and puke, so putting food in my mouth doesn't give me energy. I'm made out of code, so I can take it raw.

Ah... [haha computers still go waaaaaay over his head. but he got the gist of it he thinks.] So you... eat electricity? Like Bits do?

Exactly like that! Bits are little guides from the Grid, tell you where you need to go, help you out if you're not sure what to do. They only need a little tiny bit of energy because they're pretty simple.
