[Murmured, nearly inaudible.] H--Horatio? The pain, it's--
[A long pause, marked with fumbling noises, and then a sharp intake of breath.] Lord, that's a grand spread--hm? [A beeping noise.] "Recording"? Recording what? [The sound of a few keys being hit, essentially at random.] What is this thing anyw--

Date: 2010-04-16 05:32 pm (UTC)Oh, it's far better. Try the goose; you'd think it was Christmas, to taste it. [For his own part, he gets himself a helping of beef and boiled carrots.]
[As he regains his seat, he gives the thing a sidelong glance.] It appears to be unarmed; bludgeoning it seems a bit excessive.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 12:51 am (UTC)[After recovering from the bout of gorging himself, Bush throws a dismissive look towards Archie's computer.] At the time, it seemed the perfectly right course of action, Mr Kennedy.
[Cough cough cough cough serious face is serious.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:10 am (UTC)[He glances over at the computer as well, and makes no effort to hide a smile.] Perfectly natural, seeing how threatening an apparatus it is.
[Archie may or may not start slightly when he hits the "N" key on it and its screen suddenly lights up once more, though.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:20 am (UTC)[Though he starts a bit, once Archie makes the screen suddenly and predictably change!] What did you do? [Yes, he is glaring at the computer, what of it?]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:30 am (UTC)[He peers at it some more, frowning.] What is a 'google,' do you think?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:41 am (UTC)Google... Perhaps it is the French?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:53 am (UTC)[Archie racks through his memories and comes up wanting.] If it is, I do not recognize it.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 01:58 am (UTC)[Bush looks over at Archie for a moment, nodding. He didn't know Archie knew French, but it's not that surprising. Plenty of officers know.] Mayhaps you should try... touching it again?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 02:14 am (UTC)...R. C. H. I. E--damn.
[He frowns at the keyboard, and then the screen, on which reads "archiw."] I wonder how you go about correcting mistakes.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 02:21 am (UTC)Doubtless I'd wager on trying some of the unknown symbols, Mr Kennedy. [He leans back, finally, in his chair, surveying the scene from afar.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 02:32 am (UTC)[Turns out that hitting the "ctrl" key doesn't do anything. Neither does "alt," but when he hits the one shaped like a waving flag, the start menu comes up. Archie knocks his head against Bush's, come in close once more, when it happens. It's going to take a bit before the damned thing stops startling him.] Oh! I apologize.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 02:38 am (UTC)It seems the only option left is to press every spot on that thing and see what it does. I'll leave you to that. [Brb, getting more food.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 02:49 am (UTC)And I believe it is your turn to fiddle with it, for I would like to try the gooseberry pudding. [Playing with computers is hungry work. He stands up.] Please don't challenge it to a duel while I'm away.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:01 am (UTC)[He leans in front of it, not touching anything for fear of making it angry again.] You had noticed it says your name up here, had you not? [Have you ever heard Bush's voice, completely bored, before? Well, now you have.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:06 am (UTC)[Archie comes back with several other dessert-ish things in addition to gooseberry pudding, as well as a fresh tankard of ale, and gives it a glance.] And so much the worse for it, if it insists on listing my entire name. [Because I want someone to be all "lol Archibald" here, dammit.]
[And he belatedly remembers the arrow, but as he hasn't quite figured out clicking, he merely moves it around the screen ineffectually.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:09 am (UTC)Have you explored any more of this place, beside this room, and this... thing, Mr Kennedy? I wonder at what other marvels it would hold.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:43 am (UTC)[Archie's attention is drawn away from the computer, though his fingers are still running over the touchpad.] I have not; I'd time to get some supper and talk through this thing-- [And he taps the touchpad, and suddenly, the start menu is gone. And so he's staring back at the screen once more.] --did you see that? It went away again. [He can't hide the note of pride at making the menu disappear.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:45 am (UTC)[Bush's eyebrows quirk up at this new development.] What did you do to make it appear in at first?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:52 am (UTC)[He points to the Window key but doesn't press it again.] I touched the one that looks like a banner. Its purpose is beyond me, though.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 03:57 am (UTC)[He hovers his hand over the menu key.] If I may, Mr Kennedy?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 04:00 am (UTC)[He moves his hands out of his way.] At your leisure, Mr Bush.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 04:05 am (UTC)[Well, there's the menu. He presses it again, and it disappears. And again, making the menu reappear for the third time.] I can't for the life of me imagine any point to this. [He presses the button a few more times, bored again.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 04:13 am (UTC)[Why they were given them remains a question in that case, though.] But since it will not reveal its secrets to us, it might be more satisfying to explore, as you suggested.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 04:17 am (UTC)I would be most amendable, Mr Kennedy. We can find you a neck cloth, you are aware you are indecent? [He himself is shuffling back into his coat, the lapels of which hide the quirk to his mouth.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 04:41 am (UTC)[Archie stands likewise and waits while Bush puts his coat back on.] I had noticed, yes. I suppose we must hope for a tailor's run by the angels of the Lord.
