It is a known phenomenon that Whistles who are jailed or otherwise confined may have peculiar dreams.
This one seems to have a lady with wings in it.

"Did you try a few different places? Or don't you know enough people? It's a big planet and we don't know what part of it we're looming over."

"Huh. Okay. I had some friends in school, but I guess I only really know my parents, likewise."

"But how well do you have to know them? You barely looked at Qiaochu before you pushed him that one time."
"I have to know how to find them," he says. "Which means I have to be looking at them, or know them really well, or remember them from looking at them before."

Testing. I can turn it on and off on purpose. You're going to graduate before me, I wonder if we'll be able to talk without the teachers reading all our messages if we do it like so? If you don't know your range?

I think I can hear you knocking by default and the birdbirdbird thing is only necessary for actually letting any talking happen, says Aegis. So yeah, that won't necessarily involve complicated suspicious-looking syncing up.
"You have free time now or what?" he asks, as though he got distracted. That happens.
What's suspicious-looking? he pushes, teasingly cheerful.

"Battleroom practice I'm not supposed to be at while I rest up," she says. "Could go on the fantasy game but you're not gonna be in it and I left off at the castle, it'll take a few minutes to get anywhere with my critters in."
Pfft, I sit and think in the middle of conversations all the time, I call it 'processing', they know how to explain it. Usually I do it with my desk on me and type but not always.

"I'll wait with you for a bit," she says.
I've been thinking about doing some more hacking. Lots of kids start messing with the censoring protocols and stuff right in launch but it's never interested me that much, but I know some theory, I could see what they do have on us. I know they're taking psych data. They used to read my journals, before I stopped writing in language. I think the fantasy game might usually be a psych data collector but they don't know what to do with ours so I've been writing reports. I don't mind them knowing what I do in the game, but I want to know what they think of it.

The game is really, really smart. They must pour a hell of a lot of server resources into it - there's never lag, there's never glitchy graphics, I've never heard of an exploitable bug except for the existence of a tunnel that only I'm fast enough to reach. And it's creative, too. I wonder who wrote it.

Will do. Pause. A hundred years ago there used to be all kinds of science fiction - it's so dated now, but I like old books - all kinds of science fiction with computers who were people. And we kept making smarter and smarter programs, and they keep not being - people. As far as we can tell. The fantasy game is smart, it can make me villages full of critters that act like people, but you couldn't push it if you tried.
