[IC] REDO of The Three Demon Princes

[Eklispe]

Kosdar sat at the computer mindlessly working, that stupid girl's cheat sheet was useless, as far as knew english was the only language used in the demon realms, but if demonic counted as a language he had never bothered learning how to read that either. After a couple of minutes he sighed and stood up walking over to his bed, "Boring, I'm taking a nap get off my bed." he said irritated, he already had to do more work than he wanted. He should be able to rest for at least as long as he worked, anything more than that would be ludicrous. "Oh and get a snack for me, I'm hungry." though the food in the human realm no doubt tasted terrible, he needed to eat something. @Markofkri

Kaasni sat up. She nodded to the order and made sure she had it committed to memory by repeating it back. "Right, sure, ok." She stood up forgetting her heel broke and fell again she cried as she crawled out of the room. "Gah, Why does this always happen to me?" She took off her broken shoes off in the hall and on her knees she closed the door. The sobbing continued down the hall.

She stood up and thought to herself as the tears ran down maybe I'm cursed. She walked silently down the hall to get herself the other pair of shoes and the food for her student. He was a good guy for not making her feel more miserable. She was sure she could get the food back easier in a pair of flats. After all there was only a single flight of stairs to the cafeteria. What could go wrong?

"We do need to get acquainted. My family is not the richest people but they do know a few influential people. That is how I ended up here. My mother wanted me to have the best education possible. Here we are.... your room is not too bad..... Put the TV back in the entertainment center. I'll hook it up for you while you look at your laptop. This is how you turn it on......" Bessie began to explain about the Laptop.
"Do you think that you could type on it now? I know that I have to teach you how to read and write but could you figure out how to copy a simple sentence?"

[Eklispe]

Kosdar sighed again at the annoying loud, and he feared soon to be famalair sound of that girl tripping. Really why did she wear those ridiculous shoes if she couldn't even walk in them? Ah hells now she was making that stupid noise again. Crying- that was it. Ridiculous notion, no point in it at all. A few moments of caterwauling later and it was blissfully silent. Finally he thought relieved and lay his head down on the pillow, not bothering to change his clothes for a brief nap.

Ruomahl/Rowan

Strangely, Rowan was sure he had told her he knew how to read and write. He put that hulking box back to where it had came from. Then he took a look at this "laptop." He pressed down the button that was to the button. When he touched things, it felt odd. He felt nothing, not the burst of life-force he was used to feeling, as if he was dead. The thing made an odd sound after he had pressed that button.

A little bit later, the girl was telling to type. The symbols on this...thing were familiar. There was the alphabet and the numbers that the English language used, the something alphabet and something numbers. When he pressed down the q, a q appeared. What was the meaning of this? How was it possible that such a thing was possible without magic, something humans were never very good at. Ruomahl then realized it must have been that cold field of knowledge, that discipline known as science, revealed through epistemology and logic, made such a achievements possible. Well, whatever.

He was not aware of any technique that would help him go any faster, so he just typed slowly with two of his fingers. He typed out the simple sentence "I am here."

[Aisling]

"Excellent! You can practice with a program that will teach you how to use all of your fingers and your thumbs. I am glad that you can figure out the laptop so easily. Modern marvels are wonderful. I would hate to live without electricity because so many things wouldn't work. I will help you set up what is called E-Mail. You just type this on that line." Bessie wrote on a pad of paper the email address for his E-Mail and pointed to the spot with a laser pen.
She took him through the steps of opening his E-Mail. She had already set it up so that the only mail he received was from her at the moment. He would figure it all out in time. Of that she was sure of.

Ruomahl/Rowan

Rowan was able to follow instructions well enough, but this was quite boring. What was the purpose of setting up this e-mail? What was it, anyway? Some kind of transcendental post office? He had no use for this. Everyone he knew in this world was in walking distance, which was unfortunate by the way. Nonetheless, he did the steps to set up an e-mail just like he was instructed.

"What does it mean, anyway?" Rowan asked. "What does e-mail mean?"

[Aisling]

"E is for Electric and mail is where you get a letter. I will be sending you E-Mails to you so that you can become used to getting them. The Academy and others will be sending you information to your E-Mail and they do so frequently. Check it a couple times a day so that you don't miss an important E-Mail. Are you hungry?" Bessie asked.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

@Aisling
"And then what does electric mean?" Rowan said. There were so many things to be asked in this world. "And is it time to eat already?"

[Aisling]

"Electricity is all around us..... it is what makes things work..... It's not like we have magic or something! It is one of our energy sources that we have. As far as eating, we need to prepare the food then cook it before we eat it. All of that takes time and energy. Where in the universe did you come from!?" Bessie was beginning to be confused by this guy and rather quickly.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

Rowan next question ought to be what exactly she meant by an all-permeating substance. Did she mean it was something like Aether, a higher substance that formed creation? What did this have to do with magical mailboxes? That question couldn't come, though, because she was getting mighty suspect. Best to change the subject entirely, and forget any of this ever happened, and find out more about this crap from some dusty tome.

"Oh...uh...Let's get to making that, then," Ruomahl. "You can never make enough food. Now, there was a story about a friend of mine, who would always be in the kitchen when she was a girl. When she got over, it was a great dream of hers to become a chef, so she still was always in the kitchen. One day I was to test a bit of her food, as a friend, but there also was a man there who we did not know. Now, for some reason or another, reasons, this wasn't a shock. Whatever, whatever. He tasted her food, and it was delicious, and he wanted to have her as her cook. Can you believe that? I did, which is precisely why I didn't. Well, I didn't like that he thought it proper to leave me, me, in the dust, so I showed him when I punched him in the face, and I never saw that fool again. Good riddance, trying to steal my chef."

It was only afterwards that Rowan realized that while this technically changed the subject, it was unlikely to help him in any way whatsoever. By that, he meant it would hurt him in every way.

[Aisling]

"I shall teach you what your chef learned in the basic cooking. I hope that you like cheeseburgers and fries. If there is time we will make ice cream shakes to go with them or just have water. Bring your laptop with you so that we can continue with our studies afterwards. We will be using a gas stove and will use a deep fryer for the fries. There will be sharp knives to cut the onion and tomato slices as well as the cheese." Bessie spoke as she lead Rowan back to the main area and to the kitchen.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

Thankfully she had taken in the normal parts and spit out the rest. Yet she was still spewing forth this impenetrable volley of jargon. Ice cream, and it shakes, fries, cheeseburgers, and stoves that run on something called "gas". Is this also like that magic, oh - it's not magic, substance that is everywhere.

He took this laptop with him. He tugged it under the pit of his arm, holding it up with his arm and gripping it with his fingers. He walked alongside Bessie awkwardly, not quite matching her pace.

[Aisling]

Bessie was not the fastest person in the world but she saw that Rowan could not keep up with her. She slowed down her pace and gave Rowan a smile.When they got to the kitchen, she spoke once more.
"Let's put the laptops here on the table. We will cook in the kitchen. I'll hand you a few ingredients and you can put them on the counter. We will be starting off with some swiss cheese, tomato and onion." She placed them into his hands then turn to get a cutting board and knives.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

@Aisling
Rowan put down that "laptop" on the table. Then he took those ingredients that she had given him. They were apparently basic things, and Rowan had seen cheese like it before, but he did not know what was supposed to be denoted by Swiss. He put them on the counter. He had never cooked before.

"I've never cooked before," Rowan said.

[Aisling]

Bessie looked Rowan in astonishment.
"How do you get your food? Are you rich or something and servants did everything for you?" Bessie shook her head to clear her mind.
"Well, I will teach you the basics. You may slice the tomato because it is the easiest. You just wash it under cool running water for a few seconds then cut out the stem part and the scab on the bottom. Then you hold it like this and be careful not to get very close to your other hand. Now you try it." Bessie demonstrated.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

He was indeed rich. He was rich beyond the greatest of mortal treasures. Now, he did some menial task, surviving by doing normal human tasks. He washed the tomato under water. Now that was a thing! What was this that could conjure up water? Another of humanity's great feats of science? But that was no matter of importance. Ruomahl washed the tomato, then he sliced the two extreme of the tomato. He apparently was supposed to make thin slices. He did so, and while he wasn't perfect at it, he seemed to be learning well.

[Aisling]

"Great job, Rowan. What we don't use we will put in this container. The onion is a tricky one. You have to peel it first like this. However the onion makes a person cry with its fumes. I'll cut it up quick so that it will be done and over with." Bessie quickly peeled the onion then sliced it.
It was like this the whole time she cooked. She told Rowan the hows and whys of fixing cheeseburgers, fries and strawberry shakes. She sat her place setting and asked Rowan to do what she did.

[ZB1996]

Ruomahl/Rowan

@Aisling
Rowan didn't understand what could be so emotional about an onion, that it moved someone to tears. Still there were more things for him to learn. Then he listened to what she said, and he followed her instructions, carrying them out as well as he could.

[Aisling]

@ZB1996

"All of the food is ready so let's sit down and enjoy the fruits of our labor. " Bessie spoke as she sat down.
"I'd like to get to know you better, Rowan. Tell about where you came from. What you did for fun and about your old school, family, friends."
