[Closed] What's a 'laptop computer', Aruji?
Who: Tonbokiri and Minato Arisato
What: Computer lessons
When: March 20th
Where: Tonbokiri's place in Fluva
Warnings: None.
[A few days have passed since arriving in this town.
Tonbokiri has spent his time mostly occupied with finding tools and materials with which to improve the home he'd, or rather the horse Mikuniguro, had chosen, as well as trying to find water and food suitable to eat. Without a doubt, that is becoming a most pressing problem...
However on this day he is taking some time to fashion a shelter outside for Mikuniguro. Although weather is as unusually grey as everything else in this place, this morning had felt rather chill, and he wondered if there was any chance of rain or snow. Whether there was or not, it was only proper for the noble steed to have a place of his own, anyway.
So Tonbokiri is outside, slowly but steadily fashioning a stable out of a former shed not far from the house, as Mikuniguro listlessly wanders the field, not grazing the grey grasses.
Tonbokiri occasionally walks back to the house to get a particular tool or more of the slightly rusted nails he's collected. The door he leaves open as he comes and goes, as it doesn't quite fit squarely anyway, and he's not far off should anyone come.]

In the back of his mind he is still trying to think of something to post. He really does want to try it while his teacher is still here.
Abruptly, he sets a fist in his palm.]
I thought of something. With so many people, perhaps someone will know... It is here to start?
[Sure enough for a beginner it is still a slow process, especially as his typing technique is limited to hunt-and-peck and the keyboard is completely unfamiliar. At least it goes a tiny bit faster once Tonbokiri pauses to take his gauntlets off.
The post takes shape: he is asking if anyone has come across a saddle, brushes, or anything else for horse care. In return, he offers whatever service or materials he's found that might be useful.]
Does this look appropriate?
no subject
Right, that's a good one for this sort of forum. That way, anyone who might know something useful or have something you could use can respond to it, even if you don't know them personally.
[Tonbokiri gets it, and that's a relief; if there's ever some sort of emergency and they all need to be able to contact each other, Minato feels like knowing about the forum is important.]
I think you've got it down.
no subject
[And, posted.]
It is always satisfying to learn something new. I could not have done it without your patient assistance. Thank you again, Arisato-dono.
[And now, Tonbokiri looks at the screen expectantly. Then he tilts his head. Come to think of it...]
Are there people in the forum all the time? Should I be here to answer when they reply to me? [That could be a problem. He has other work to do as well...]
no subject
Oh, right...that's something to know for sure.]
You don't have to sit around and wait for it, no. It might take people time to respond, since they might also not be at their laptops.
You can always respond to messages when you get back--they won't go away anywhere.
no subject
[With that, Tonbokiri turns from the computer and claps Minato on the shoulder.]
I am thankful you took the time to teach me this. Again, if there is anything I can assist with in turn, just say the word.
no subject
[It's a natural thing that'll just help benefit all of them, he thinks--the more of them who understand the forum, the better off they'll be.
For now, though?]
If you're feeling more confident with it, I think I'll leave you alone, though.
[A beat.]
... Oh--you can send private messages to people on here too. My username code seems to be #3630FF, so... if you ever need any help or have a question, you can send a message to me, too.
no subject
[Cue a time of getting Tonbokiri set up with how to do private messages too.]
no subject
[He'll show him how it works! Thankfully it's just a few clicks.]
And my code again is #3630FF... I know it's tough to remember, but I guess that's how it is on this forum.
no subject
Ah. Perhaps it seems too simple but-
[He goes to another room and comes back with a roughly cut pencil and a blank book.]
Strange as it is, all the paper I've found, that is not wasted away, is blank. May as well use it.
[In writing that may well be difficult for a modern Japanese person to read, Tonbokiri writes 'ありさと 三六三'...]
Please tell me one more time?
no subject
It's #3630FF. Writing it down is a good idea, honestly... I've been keeping note of peoples' codes too.
[He has a good memory for things relating to people, but remembering long strings of numbers and letters is not easy.]
no subject
Ah. I'm a little relieved I'm not the only one who needs to take a note of it.
Perhaps this code will become easier with practice, or if some meaning can be attributed to it.
no subject
Yeah, maybe... I wonder if maybe it's some kind of computer code, but it's hard to say right now.
[Without any color.]
Maybe we'll find out eventually.
no subject
[Putting down pencil and paper, Tonbokiri glances outside to check the time as best he can.]
That took longer than I thought it would, but I accomplished much with your help. Again, my thanks.
[[ooc- tying this up so we can put all our focus on the spar XD]]
