Espio: [While talking on the phone with Silver] Are you serious?! I didn't even know that could happen! Okay, bye! [Hangs up] 

Ruv: Who was that?

Espio: Silver! He said the internet was like, gone! 

Ruv: Gone?! The internet doesn't just, go!

Espio: Something about satellites being down across the city! 

Dawn: What did you guys do to the internet?

Ruv: We didn't do anything! It's down for everyone!

Dawn: Fix it.

Espio: For how long?

Ruv: We don't know! Alexa, how long will the internet be down? [Alexa doesn't respond, and Ruv gets a sudden realization] Wait...

20 minutes later...

Ruv: [Playing Poker with Dawn] Checkmate!

Dawn: We are playing Poker.

Espio: Guys! [Pulls out a piece of paper]

Ruv: What are you doing?

Espio: It's a selfie!

Dawn: Okay.

Espio: You have to leave a like or a comment! 

Ruv: [Sarcastically] Cute.

Espio: Are you being sarcastic?!

Ruv: Always! I usually put a heart emoji to cover it up! [Espio just glares at him] You really didn't know that?!

Espio: BLOCKED!!!!!

Ruv: Seriously?!

Espio: I'm blocking you! You don't exist to me anymore! What about you, Dawn?

Dawn: Here, send it to me. 

Espio: Are you gonna repost it?

Dawn: [Rips the paper]

1 hour later...

Phone: [Ringing]

Ruv: [To Espio] Answer it!

Espio: No way! You answer it!

Ruv: I don't wanna talk to people, Espio! Are you crazy?!

Espio: I literally just don't have the time! 

Ruv: I only take emergency calls!

Dawn: [Doing something in her room]

Ruv: [He and Espio walk into Dawn's room] What are you doing?

Dawn: This is how we can text.

Espio: That's a fax machine!

Dawn: It is the only way we can communicate with people.

Ruv: Whatever. Anything's better than calling!

Espio: Let me send a message to Crystal!

Dawn: Keep it simple. Do not make it long and stupid.

Espio: ["Texting" Crystal] I love you. I hope you're doing okay. I'm always thinking about you! <3 [Sends the "text"]

Ruv: Now what?

Dawn: We wait. 

[Insert long waiting segment]

Espio: Did we seriously do this before the internet?

Dawn: No, we had someone do it for us.

Ruv: Now I know how Blue Collar workers feel.

Dawn: I do not know what that is.

Espio: She's faxing back! :D

[Insert longer long waiting segment]

Ruv: Jesus.

Espio: It's done!

Ruv: What's her response?

Espio: She said "K."

Dawn: Wow.

Espio: Crystal's just one of those people who speak louder without words.

Dawn: I do not think so.

2 hours later...

Dawn: [Sees Ruv freaking out] What is wrong with him?

Ruv: Only five characters left! Better start a thread!

Espio: He's having a breakdown.

Ruv: I'm not breaking down, you stupid bitch! Send tweet!

Dawn: There is no Twitter.

Ruv: Don't talk to me like that, you idiot! I've got booty pictures! Send Tweet!

Espio: Ruv, there's no tweet to send!

Ruv: Unfollows Espio!

Espio: What!

Ruv: Oh, shut up! I'll follow you again tomorrow and blame it on the glitch that doesn't exist!

Dawn: I wish I could livestream this demise.

Ruv: I can't do this anymore!

Espio: The internet will be back soon!

Ruv: SAYS WHO, ESPIO?!!!!! THE NEWS?!!!!!

Espio: Well-

Ruv: WE DON'T HAVE NEWS ANYMORE?!!!!! SEND TWEET?!!!!!

Dawn: Oh my god, stop saying that!

Ruv: How am I supposed to be passive-aggressive about a private matter in public now?!

Espio: Why don't you tell us how you feel instead of tweeting it to us, Ruv?

Ruv: Ugh, I can feel myself becoming irrelevant every passing second! 

Espio: You are such a baby!

Ruv: I can't feel anything anymore! Send tweet!

Dawn: [Splashes Ruv with water]

Ruv: [Pants heavily]

Dawn: Do you feel that?

35 minutes later...

Silver: Okay, guys, the internet should be up and running now! [No responses] Guys? Why are the lights off? [Turns on the lights] Oh my god...

Ruv, Dawn, and Espio: [Insert zombie noises]

Silver: Oh no... Guys, look, the internet's back! All your social media, your thirst traps, it's back! [Everything turns back to normal] There! All better!

Dawn: [Gets on her phone] It is about time.

Espio: [Gets on his phone] You know, it really wasn't that bad.

Ruv: [Gets on his phone] I know, right? I think everyone should unplug at least once a month.

Silver: [Internally] Help me...
