[ Whatever Berkut's reaction might be, Buceph would probably like a tasty apple after being cooped up inside a room for so long. The weather has not been kind.
Berkut closes the door behind them, then gestures to the laptop that is meant to be his. It clearly hasn't been touched: Curious though he has been, he wasn't desperate enough to mess around and risk breaking the alien thing. ]
[ He walks over to pick the laptop up to start messing with it mmediately. Er! Or rather, he is about to and holding his hands just over the device. Oh, bad habit of mine when I get on the computer.
Shen Qingqiu recalls that since he was just a shut-in nerd that he'd just show things at his own speed -- turn on the laptop and just start going! His head lightly shakes as he realizes that wouldn't help anyone. So he makes a gesture for Berkut to sit in front of it instead. ]
The most important thing to remember is that regardless of how heavy and solid it feels... it is actually quite fragile. So attempt to treat it kindly. [ I can't say I treated my laptop so nice. Sometimes, Airplane's novel updates would have him throwing the device off and onto the ground in a fit of anger. But well!! Learn from what he says and not what he did, okay?! ]
[ Fortunately, Proud Immortal Demon Way is not available for Berkut's perusal. Sliding into his seat, he watches the way Shen Qingqiu handles the laptop. ]
I do not treat my possessions carelessly.
[ Observe: Buceph, easily the most pampered member of this sorry household. Berkut is not materialistic, so his belongings are rather few even back home; what he does have, he takes care of well. He never asked for a foreign device, but he won't throw it around just because of that. ]
[ A small hesitant nod. But Berkut, you've never been on the Internet. Shen Qingqiu hesitates for a little while longer before he finally comes out with it: ]
Even if you get mad at what someone writes, don't take it out on the device itself. Even if it is the device that's showing you what someone said, please don't blame it for the actions of others.
[ Important! Very important. Honestly, if I wasn't a second generation rich kid, I may have been in trouble. One too many throws of his laptop onto the floor and he had to get a new one. Really, he should attempt to charge An Ding Peak for that!! ]
[ Berkut cocks his head to the side. Isn't that train of logic obvious? ]
It is ignoble to punish the messenger for carrying a message. Do you not agree?
[ As he understands it, ferrying written words is the task this laptop carries out. This is no person, but he sees the inherent immaturity behind throwing a tantrum. ]
[ Now, I mean... But he becomes an even bigger stan for Berkut! That's right! It's not good to take it out on the messenger. Very well said! Very well said!! ]
I merely know of those that lack in your wisdom and so, you can attempt to pass it on to Young Miss Renne. [ Yup! He plays it off as that!
Mentally clapping his hands, he considers that out of the way and now to the real meat and butter ... meat and potatoes? ...What is that saying? He has an immediate desire to take the laptop from Berkut and google it to find out, before he remembers that it only has access to a forum and nothing else. ]
So, first... [ He guesses? ] ... are that there are letters and symbols that resemble those that you would write on parchment. [ ..... yeah? Right? ] Consider them like stamps that already have them draw up.
[ I mean, he must have like those ... stamps that one puts on envelopes. Man, what are those called? Google, where are you? Anyway. Basics are figuring out the keyboard before we worry about posting, right? Right! And he points to the large bar. ] This is what you press when you wish to make a space between the words.
[ He scowls at the mention of Renne. Even (or especially) after everything, he doesn't care for her presence. It's peaceful in the house when she's out and about, and he likes it that way. Mouthy brat.
Turning his attention to the keyboard, his eyes sweep over the letters and the large space bar. The scowl returns in a matter of seconds. ]
These letters are out of order.
[ Why? Are people this illiterate? Or is there some sort of logic behind this garbled madness? ]
He really wishes he could say why they are that way. He types pretty fine and actually quite fast -- even faster when he's mad. But he can't really explain why the keys are in the place that they are. Like, hm. Weird, right? Oh, wait! ]
I believe supposed to be related to how often a key is chosen versus being in alphabetical order. [ I guess. Keyboard classes? Maybe! He doesn't know how he would feel about watching Berkut do the hunt-and-peck method. But he also doesn't think that he'd like to have to have the full keyboard method, either! ]
The way the modern people type is using all five fingers on each hand. But for us, I suppose we will have to type with one key at a time. [ Leaving it open! You want to learn either way! I'll do my best! Probably? ]
[ He supposes that educated guess has merit. Shen Qingqiu's words, however, swirl around in Berkut's mind. Modern? Type? All five fingers? There is this implication of his being old-fashioned and lowbrow, and he doesn't like it. His scowl deepens. ]
Show me how it is done.
[ Well, it sounds like Shen Qingqiu isn't any better off. Berkut will have to take what he can from this lesson. ]
He smiles amicably as he takes the laptop so that he can show what he means. This is going to physically pain me. Oh my god. I'm in pain. Shen Qingqiu smiles through the tears that he is shedding in his heart as he opens up a post just so that he can show how to type. ]
The capslock means that it is or is not capitalized. [ His smile remains as he types with one finger. His eyes slowly become more dead as he demonstrates the hunt and peck method. ]
L [ Death will come for me soon. ] i [ This old man is sorry for all the lies he has ever told! ] k [ Oh my god. ] e [ Please end me. ] s [ Mmm!! ] o.
[ "Like so." Appears on the screen but Shen Qingqiu's soul has transcended to a new plane of existence. ]
[ To be frank, the hunt and peck method looks absolutely stupid, like the teacher has no idea what he's doing. Berkut is fairly certain that this is not how Renne operates the laptop, but that's not important right now.
Berkut's head bobs slightly up and down as he watches Shen Qingqiu pick at the letters. To see the corresponding letters appear on the flat surface before them—his eyes can't help but to widen at this marvelous development. ]
This is . . .
[ Incredible? Most strange? Impressive, to be sure. Shen Qingqiu likened it to a stamp seal, but this is faster by at least a hundredfold! ]
[ Cool, right!! When I first saw it, I was also blown away!
He feels his soul return at hearing the same excitement as he felt. Admit your fault. Admit your fault! Because I can't have you use this method! I can't! If I see you use it, even I'd have to roast you!! ]
And the other way is-- [ Shen Qingqiu sets his hands down on the keyboard and types out much faster -- but also slower than what he usually types due to well, he's not supposed to be well-versed in the computer right? ]
Like this. [ See? ] It really does seem like the keys are arranged by how often they are chosen so once the odd arrangement is memorized, you'll be able to write without even looking.
Now, that looks far better than what Shen Qingqiu was doing earlier. No wasted movements and every key in reach, the hands are positioned with purpose. ]
This appears to be the more practical method. [ He has no idea what that first method was supposed to be, if it even qualifies as one. ] How are the hands placed?
Doesn't it? [ Right, right! He wants to nudge him with his shoulder, but he keeps such actions to himself. If possible, a flower would have bloomed from his head -- in short, he is so happy to bond with Berkut over laptops. I'm sorry. I'm a shut-in that loves these things and happy to show them to you. I wonder if there was an internet... would you have liked cat videos? But then again, who doesn't?
He slides the laptop back. ]
Your left hand fingers should be on the A, S, D, F, and thumb on the spacebar. The right hand should be on J, K, L, and semicolon with the thumb also on the spacebar. [ He happily instructs and instructs which finger should be typing which key. Shen Qingqiu actually has to hold his hands out in front of him as he tries to remember which key is supposed to be typed with which finger, 'cause he is just so used to it that it is second nature. ]
[ How is it easier? He never tried the first method. But he does as instructed, his hands held out awkwardly in front of him. This overall posture is incredibly alien, not to mention the material of the laptop. Still, he hangs onto every word with the utmost attention. ]
What of these other . . . keys?
[ Letters and punctuation marks are easy enough to figure out. Shen Qingqiu told him about the space bar and caps lock as well. There are many more keys that he can see they've yet to go over. ]
[ If Berkut tried the first method, Shizun would have to take the laptop from him and hold it over his head. He would have to. He'd have to stop the prince from being mocked, even if it means hatred. ]
Oh, the other keys. They're also punctuation. Though, most of these you probably won't need to use. Comma, period, question mark, slash... mark. [ Good, please come back. What is that called? ] Colon, semicolon. Apostrophe and quotation marks... Exclamation point.
[ He points them out as he talks about them. Actually... maybe I use more than I actually think I use. Huh!! Shen Qingqiu never really thought of it as he keeps naming them and goes to himself, "I guess I use all of them at one point or another, huh?" ]
The shift key lets you use the symbols written above the other keys. Otherwise, the default is to use the marking already on it.
[ Truly, there is no instructor of the keyboard who is more qualified than Shen Qingqiu. The teacher overflows with personal experience! ]
I see.
[ This is a great deal of information to absorb as someone who's completely new to this technology. He'll have to practice all of this later. There's plenty of time to waste in Chroma, so he has no concerns about that. On the other hand, he can't keep Shen Qingqiu here forever. He'd best be keeping this going while there's more material to cover. ]
[ Right, right? So you see why I get mad when people use the keyboard to write FUCKING GARBAGE! An Ding Peak is going to be charged. He's decided. When he get back, he is charging An Ding Peak one laptop. Fuck it. It's happening! ]
Right. That's just the basics for writing, but the real importance is actually able to see the forum itself. Thankfully, it is only thing one can access so that is simple. [ What would Berkut get stuck on if he had the Internet? Maybe! He would get stuck on sending cute animated greeting cards to his fiancee every day!
Another flower may have come to sprout itself out of Shen Qingqiu's head. ]
So, you can scroll like so, and click ... that is what it means to access the letter and declaration that someone has posted upon the forum to read more of what the person has written and what others have written. And then you can also send a message to the forum or to the forum message itself.
[ I'm not going to let you fall into that trope, Berkut!! ]
The forum itself is an open one, Prince Berkut. It means anyone can post whatever it is that they like. Commoner's thoughts and loftier goals. But it is open for anyone to say anything.
[ Right. I'm saving you from that trope! That trope of someone time traveling to the future and getting mad on the Internet saying, "This isn't the proper way to use the Internet where we can all share ideas and able to access all information." I'm saving you from being roasted by everyone, okay?! ]
[ Somewhere in An Ding Peak, Shang Qinghua sneezes up a lung.
Scroll, click, read more—such simple concepts, yet so new that Berkut stares intensely at the screen in his attempt to keep up. The directions that he mentally runs through a few times come to a grinding halt when Shen Qingqiu speaks again, and he tilts his head with no visible change in his expression.
Maribelle's words about there being no distinction between those of noble and common births come to mind. ]
Exactly what purpose does this forum serve?
[ It can't just be an open canvas for anyone to say anything. No matter who has access, there must be order on some level. ]
He lightly taps his fan against his chin. Like, good question? I used it to air all my grievances about the novel. Loudly. I mean, loud in text form? It's a way to bitch to a whole bunch of people? Wait, scratch that. Talking about the forum that we have here. Right. ]
It is the means for people to talk about what they wish to talk about to the population here. [ How else to put it?? ] Like a royal function with many nobles around? Some would go to corners and gossip, I am assuming? Some would talk about their latest exploits? But some also have serious business to discuss to everyone, or asking for aid?
It is just like that, only through text, because while we can all gather together in one place to do these things, it is uncertain that we'd be able to talk to the people that would be interested in what we are saying.
[ Warmly: ] But I will say that even if something seems foolish that you may want to talk about what that foolish thing is. In short, a place to talk easily for everyone to see, and a place to forge connections. [ Right! I don't want you to just talk about serious things as a prince, but I'd like you to talk about fun things and have a fun time! ]
[ Wait. He pauses as he thinks of the original novel. The novel that got him into the mess of being Shen Qingqiu in the first place. His expression darkens for a second before it lightens and he continues with a bright smile. ]
I feel I am putting restrictions on you, but ... truly, so long as the point is not made that they can't post what they are posting due to the nature of the forum ... you can tell someone honestly and completely that what they wrote is completely stupid due to other reasons.
[ I'm not taking that away from you. So long as you have points outside of that, you are golden! MOTHERFUCKING GOLDEN! TEAR INTO THEM! I understand! If someone writes something stupid and you can't take it! Just lay into them! I feel you and I support you! ]
Just be prepared to be argued with, prince. You won't be able to use your status, but you can tear them apart with logic. [ Like he'd take away the time-honored tradition of flame wars. Yeah, if I told people online I was a rich kid with more money than anyone, they'd just laugh me out the door. That's why you gotta go for the throat instead of your backing! ]
Edited (part got cut off... and redundancy) 2019-02-10 04:28 (UTC)
[ Why would he do that, he wonders. His time, albeit abundant here, is still precious. He'll not waste it on pointless altercations using a forum where everyone cowers behind a strange device. If he must make a point, he shall do it face-to-face.
Nevertheless, Berkut blinks as he points his chin at Shen Qingqiu. ]
I am surprised, Shen Qingqiu. It is rare to hear you disparage someone.
[ In fact, has the teacher ever badmouthed anyone before? He isn't insulting anyone in particular, but to imply that there's content even he could find openly stupid . . . ]
[ What?? Of course, I'm gonna start fights now and again! I'm not some saint! Don't go joining the Saint Shen Qingqiu religion on me now, Berkut! I'm the troublesome escort NPC! He really would rather be seen as the latter than the former. ]
Even I have things that I dislike. [ Hm. Airplane-bro is Airplane-bro. But he wrote fucking garbage and really I finally can talk about it! ] While not on this forum, I came across a story in my world. A person can write whatever they like, of course. A person can tell whatever fictional story that they like, but that does not mean they are free from criticism.
[ He almost blows a puff of air out of his face to push his bangs out of his eyes. But that would be undignified so he only glowers to the side. ] This teacher felt such a headache over what was written that he had to say one or two words to the author's face. Figuratively speaking. We could only argue through our written words.
That is why I cannot denounce someone who grows angry over what someone has written and say that it is best to say something than nothing.
[ Oh, no. Peace-loving though he may be, Shen Qingqiu is a troublesome person in that he's meddlesome and garrulous. There are no illusions about that. In retrospect, Berkut shouldn't be surprised by the realization that this teacher is quite opinionated.
In any case, why bother if the story was that egregious? It'd be simpler to put the text down and never look at it again. Berkut reminds himself that he and Shen Qingqiu are very different in many ways. He hums in passing thought. ]
As a scholar, I suppose it is natural for you to have words about certain literature.
