"Cool! I want to read all the future stuff, that'd be neat."

"Okay." "I can play more of wikipedia while we walk, it has lots and lots of things." "Wikipedia is the thing that explained cape history."

"Cool. Who writes it?"

"Lots and lots of people." "Anyone can write but they have to say how they know things. That's why there are numbers, there's a list of sources at the end that says what every numbered thing is from. Sometimes it will say something else instead and then you know that that thing is maybe not true."

"So... Like a library anyone can stick a book in, or like an encyclopedia anyone can edit? What happens if someone disagrees with what someone else wrote?"

"I don't know." "I can probably find out when we find a computer."

"Cool. How do you use a computer?"

"Different ways for different things but usually there are buttons to press to do things or places to write words and then you press a button to do things with them." "If I wanted to read something about computers on the computer I would go to the search page, it's called google, and write computer there and press the button to tell it to find me things about that." "You can write anything you want but sometimes it gets confused."

"Huh! That sounds really neat."

"It is really neat. And there are lots of things to read, not just wikipedia."

"It's really great that people invented that."

"Yeah."

"What is your world like?"

Apparently just about indistinguishable from Rescue's Earth in September's time, except Fairyland, which September's more interested in describing anyways. Fairyland, when September encountered it, was being ruled by the Marquess, who passed a lot of really mean laws while trying to make Fairyland more safe for visitors. September met a wyvern who had to wear enormous chains around his wings so he couldn't fly, and there were Marids being kept in cages because if you can beat one in a wrestling match you can force them to do magic for you, and there were regulations on changelings, and there were guards who'd steal away children and shadows if you crossed their river (September gave away her shadow to protect a Pooka child who the guards had demanded)... But there were wonderful, fairy-ish things, too. An island of people who were only half a person, cut smoothly down the middle, and they could join with a matching other half to do things that require two hands, and an island of things that had lived to be a hundred and gained magic, and a forest where it's always autumn and they celebrate the same wedding every day, and a forest where the death of all things lives, and herds of wild magical bikes that roam the plains, and a city made of cloth, and a bathhouse that can wash your courage...

Rescue goes distant and sad at the description of the Marquess' laws, but perks up a little at the rest. "Sounds neat."

"It is. I really miss it. Earth's just - not the same."

"I would miss the internet. But it has all the other good things, probably." "The internet is all the things the computer can find when you tell it to find you things."

"Neat! And I didn't have that to miss, so, though Fairyland might someday get its own internet. They have radios and stuff."

"Radios are pretty good. Do you have TVs? They're like radios but there's a part you can watch."

"...You mean a television? I think some rich people in New York or at the World's Fair have them. We have films, though. I got to see Casablanca at the theater! Though I liked the Jungle Book and the Thief of Baghdad more. Fairyland has films, too, though most've their stuff's still silver screen, not technicolor."

"I don't know what silver screen and that other thing are. I've seen the jungle book, though, that's a good one." "I don't know if there's a way to watch movies here. The internet has them but you have to pay for them."

"Silver screen is movies that don't have color, and technicolor stuff has more than one color. It's new, for my world at least."

Blink blink. "I've never seen a movie that didn't have color." "No, that's not true, there's one where the first part doesn't have color. I don't remember what it's called."

"Wizard of Oz is the one I know that does that. It was neat! With the bluebirds song and the yellow brick road and the tin man."

"Yeah, that one." "Sometimes old things are free on the internet, maybe we can find it."

"And libraries are supposed to have free information, too."
