[She doesn't know what a network is either, Tony pls.]

So... it's like... a pair of glasses that help you see other people in a special place? [Site, sight. Same thing!!]

[definingfuture]

{Oh. Man, he is not used to kids who don't know what the internet is anymore.]

Er, it's kind of like this. Only more people and cat pictures. This isn't as good.

[That helps, right? She can totally relate to cat pictures.]

[empireofrats]

[Cat pictures at least gets a giggle out of her. There's really no pictures, just portraits, paintings. She thinks about Sokolov painting a picture of a cat.

Hilarious, if you've ever seen Sokolov.] It's like a special notebook with moving pictures? [THANK GOD FOR NAT, TONY. SHE DOES A BETTER EXPLAINING JOB THAN YOU!!!!]

[definingfuture]

[Well, sorry, he's not from the Ancient Times and used to the tech illiterate! He assumes any kid under 14 years old knows how to hack into their parents' devices!]

Uh, yeah. Yeah, kind of like a notebook, I guess. It's like an easier way to read books, talk to different people, and see the world without having to go anywhere.

[Sort of.]

[empireofrats]

[You're so confusing, Tony. She's only ten! She's VICTORIAN!] Like an audiograph, but--but you are talking while it's recording, and the other person is listening at the same time.

Okay. [Maybe she gets it.] We don't have these in Dunwall.

[definingfuture]

[He didn't know! And ten-year-olds are smart.]

Yes, just like that. It lets you send very fast messages that include sound and pictures. We're only doing a little bit of that now.

[She seems to pick up enough. He can at least get the important part across.]

I want to call some of my friends.

[empireofrats]

[Aw...] You have some friends here? [Even if sad right now, it does give her some hope!]

Do you think everyone has friends here?

[definingfuture]

I... [Does he? Does he actually have friends here?] I hope so.

Even if we don't, we'll still be okay. We can work together.

[Because he's not going to tell a little kid the cynical answer.]
