[ What else is a sorcerer-slash-king-of-curses supposed to do in the late hours of the evening than browse the internet out of boredom? Or try to.

Emphasis on "try." ]

[ ...wait, what's going on?

Why aren't any of his search terms producing results? They're just sitting there when he hits "send?" This search engine is terrible. Who designed this?

Maybe he should use more exact terms. Is he using criteria that are too broad? ]

Courtesans that know how to play shogi

[ Still nothing.

Alright this is starting to piss him off... ]

[...buddy...]

I think your search might be having some technical difficulties.

[hachikai]

[ yes makima hello ]

It seems so. My search has garnered the unwarranted opinions of the peanut gallery.

[kubricks]

My condolences.

These things happen from time to time. But usually more widespread.

[She's not saying it's operator error but...]

[hachikai]

[ It's 100% user error. He has no idea how these infernal systems work and he can tell...well, he can tell now anyway. ]

More proof that this internet business is troublesome. More so than it's worth.

[kubricks]

It has its uses.

[When used correctly.]

Though even if your searches went through I don't know how well it would work for finding those.

[hachikai]

[ She may be right, he can't deny it, but he also wants to be stubborn and go without it. He has the sneaking suspicion he'll be proven wrong later anyway. ]

What are some alternatives you'd suggest, then? Your own company?

[kubricks]

Sure, why not?

I don't think I'm what you're looking for, but you likely could do worse.

[hachikai]

[ Huh...he didn't expect that to work. Well, far be it from him to turn her down now after making a spectacle of himself. ]

Which room is yours, then, Makima?

Or would you prefer a meeting place more scenic?

[kubricks]

Room 8, but I wouldn't mind going somewhere. And it goes poorly we can go our separate ways.

[Never mind that their rooms are both in the same section of the base.]
