Eva laid in her bedroom staring up at the ceiling, her favorite metal bands and R&B groups stared back. She was excited for the next concert she would go to, "Under Town" a secretive music event for the underground scene that takes place in an even more secret location in town. Eva was raised by her old man to be pretty basic so by all means she was a normie who had no idea where "Under Town" was. And though she was like any other girl there was one thing that set her apart from the rest...
Eva tapped her finger on a button-like cylinder that was located where her right eye should be.
"Beholder, Release"
the object that took the place of her eye glowed green and a low-pitched hum could be heard as her mechanical eye piece worked.
Eva relaxed and let her subconscious dive into a web of signals answering her request...

-Evaline $: Hey, I'm not cool enough to know where undertown is can you help me?
-Valek $: no prob. I'll go find it, brb
-Evaline $: wait don't go I want to go search with you!
-Valek $: U sure? if the Admin bans U there's no way to get your shell connected to Wave again. and doesn't your Wetware give u headaches?
-Evaline $: . . .
-Valek $: Plus I don't know what happens to wetware user's heads when their shell is prematurely cutoff.
-Evaline $: I'm fine right now, thanks for your concern but I want to see this "Net scape" your always telling me about.
-Valek $: I'm sorry for dragging u into this whole "Under Town" concert thing. I found out about it while snooping around the net scape about a week ago and the date for the concert was set for tonight. despite the fact that the Netscape was shut down almost a 253 years ago.
-Evaline $: what!? >_<
-Valek $: Its supposed to take place on land and well, I can't be there...
-Evaline $: But I can, its no problem. I have recording modules around the house. I'll make sure u don't miss beat!
-Valek $: well...
-Valek $: thx
-Valek $: I'm going to instantiate a server to act as our entry point to the net. do you remember how to connect?
-Evaline $: umm, sorta? wave's command line is dummmb why is there no graphics for me to visualize in my head easily like that other OS you showed me, like... Windows XD was it?
-Valek $: I made Windows XD specifically to be compatible with your optic wet ware device. it cuts through the static in your subconscious to make it easier for you to visualize items and space. but I just showed you that so we could hang out more.
-Evaline $: Thx :3 <3
-Valek $: eh, I'll be honest and say you have it a bit more rough than me, at least I don't have to fall asleep to connect to wave and every single action doesn't feel like someone punched me in the head.
-Evaline $: ya get used to it :P
-Valek $: oof
-Evaline $: OOf!
-Valek $: *cough* masochist *cough*
-Evaline $: :^(
