A little fun for the unplugged among us. Name one thing from your Matrix and other people can say if they heard of it in theirs. Maybe find a little common ground.

I'll start: New York City.

[noo the best :c]

MAYBE IF YOU'RE FROM A DARK FUTURE WHERE SHE MOVES ONTO ADULT VIDEO. THEN I SHOULD PROBABLY BE NICER TO YOU

[hacker]

I don't think that's a dark future. I think we call that one short step from the ugly reality of DUIs and failed rehab.

JACKPOT

COMMON GROUND ACHIEVED

LINDSAY LOHAN'S SHAME SPIRAL

[Surely it still counts if they're all from the same Matrix.]

[hacker]

Isn't the schadenfreude a little hypocritical? The tabloids were eating you alive too not long before NY.

[servomotor]

YOU KNOW WHAT'S WEIRD

I DON'T MIND

ALSO I MEAN TABLOIDS ARE THE TIP OF THE BERG RE: SCHADENFREUDE IN THE LIFE OF ME

OR YOU





SCHADENFREUDE IS ANOTHER ONE.

[hacker]

Ok fair. Presumptuous but totally fair.
Another what?

[servomotor]

GROUND COMMON ACROSS MATRIXES.

I COULD WAX POETIC ABOUT HOW SCHADENFREUDE IS FUNDAMENTALLY INHERENT TO THE MATRIX-REAL SCHISM BUT I GUESS I DON'T KNOW IF ROBOTS FEEL HAPPY.

[hacker]

Do you classify smug satisfaction as happy because I've gone a few rounds with a roomba or two in my lifetime and I'm telling you they spare no expense with the sass.

[servomotor]

A ROOMBA

YOU DON'T KNOW SASS UNTIL IT'S PROGRAMMED WITH A BRITISH ACCENT AND SARCASM



BUT A ROOMBA

YOURS WAS A LIFE OF DECADENCE AND WASTE WASN'T IT

[hacker]

We can't all fly back from a day of superheroics to our mansions in Malibu ok

[servomotor]

BETTER THAN OK.

ALTHOUGH WHILE WE'RE CASUALLY TALKING, DO YOU KNOW THIS DISREPUTABLE YOUNG WOMAN?

[hacker]

She was part of the team that extracted me. Knows SHIELD, Fury, etc. too. I think her Matrix was pretty similar to ours.

[servomotor]

OH OK. COOL.

[Chill restored, if there were any problems with Tony Spark's chill before.]

[ex_spins462]

You should probably be nicer to me anyway.

[servomotor]

THAT WORD DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT DOES

[ex_spins462]

Only because your idea of "nice" is skewed.

[servomotor]

OKAY BLACK WIDOW, RECENT WIELDER OF THE WIDOW'S BITE, WHO OFTEN REFERS MEANINGFULLY TO BUDAPEST





HEY WHO ELSE HAS BUDAPEST?

[ex_spins462]

Former wielder, unless you think you can recreate them.

That would be nice. ;)

1/2

[servomotor]

A WINKING EMOJI. FOR THE LOVE OF

2/2

[servomotor]

I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE VERY HARD. WHEN ARE YOU AVAILABLE FOR WRIST MEASUREMENTS




AND DO YOU EVEN HAVE THE HAND-EYE COORDINATION RIGHT NOW? HOME-FRIED WIDOW ISN'T THE DELICACY I WAS LOOKING FOR.

[ex_spins462]

I'm getting better. I'll drop by sometime, you can judge for yourself.

[ Which is more about refusing to make exact plans in a public space out of habitual paranoia than actively blowing him off. ]

[servomotor]

SOUNDS FUN.

[He wants to ask how she knows where he lives but he doesn't think he'd like the answer, so.]

WHICH YOU ARE GOOD AT

LESS SO "NICE"
