Hey.
Dude
Still awake?
Come on, I know you're still up.


...mmh?
...
well
im awake now
thats for sure
...also
stop calling me dude


Oh. Sorry. Dudette?
That better?


fuck it
sure
why not
whatd you wake me up for


I got it working

u got what working?
full sentences, c'mon
cant be that hard


Oh, That's awfully funny coming from you.

thats how u know its srs
when even the terminally online neet calls u out


...Sure.
Cass, You know we're both ""terminally online"", right?
Kind of comes with the territory of being locked inside all day.


right

Anyways, the web server i mean.
I got it running.


im still confused how we've got internet access
not like anyone is paying the bills
not like anyone even can still


Probably one of those things where it's best not to think about it.
Ever play Minecraft?


yeah
didnt really care for it


You know the floating sand in that game?
Sand is one of the few blocks that's supposed to obey gravity.
But sometimes it just floats in the air.
And it only remembers that it's supposed to fall down once you punch it.


ur telling me i should punch my modem

...
I'm telling you that maybe this is only working because we're not thinking about it particularly hard.


that makes no sense
thats not how routers work
even i know that much


Nothing about this situation makes sense.
I don't think that'd be the weirdest thing about it.


fair
maybe we should just appreciate it while it lasts
..wait
you said something about a webserver


Yeah.
I got Apache running.
And it's serving our chatlogs right now.
Managed to finagle some janky python scripts to read my irc client.


wow
not exactly very privacy-minded of you
i thought you were Mr. I Use Tor For Everything


That's different.
Besides, not much of a web to browse now anyways.
That's why I'm doing this.
It's a distress signal, sort of.
If anyone's still out there, then maybe they'll stumble upon our site.
There's a very finite amount of ipv4 adresses.
Enough to scan all of them.
Maybe someone's still alive out there, doing that.


so ur grand plan rests on there being a survivor somewhere out there whos equally as fuckin nerdy as u are

Hey, at least I'm trying something.

true.
cant say im doin much better than that
...
not really doing fuckin anything really
I.
i dont know


It's fine.
You're doing the best you can right now.
...You know
Sometimes I do wish I could just give you a hug.


cheesy idiot

So what?

hah
ur no longer even denying it
...does the hug offer still stand though
