“What are ‘blueprints’?” Duskie cocked his head, as if staring at the computer screen from a 45 angle was suddenly going to make an explanation of what the hell blueprints are pop up.

It didn’t.

“just ask the computer”

I’m doing that!!!

“VIA TEXT! ITS DEAF” Knight’s only experience with computers was when he and Odio (possessed? was? what the hell…) an AI once, but that was still better than what Duskie had.

“Oh!” Duskie let out audibly, before opening up SealoSearch, also known as PuckPuckGo but Duskie called it SealoSearch just for the laughs.

Just then, a bolt of lightning (most likely caused by a sealomimi practicing their magic) striked a power line nearby, causing some sort of magical reaction that caused the computer to explode. Duskie took a tenth of his HP in damage but was otherwise fine.

“well, shit.”

“The gods of luck hath forestaken us…”

“its not that bad, odio. there are other computers.” Knight sighed (internally, of course, because where else can you sigh when you’re in the body’s backseat?) “duskie, go out and ask someone what blueprints are.”

Ok!

There was no way this could go wrong.

Somehow, snow was burning.

Duskie was shaking, holding on tight to a mysterious blue paper he had found on his travels as fire blazed all around him. A medal fell from the sky that said ‘Congratulations! You somehow set a tundra on fire!’ and somehow landed perfectly around his neck.

Just then, a wave of water struck all the flames- and Duskie, too.

Duskie spat out the water- and then noticed who threw it his way. “Hibby!”

“Duskie.” She smiled as she signed his name.

“Hibby, can you tell me what this is?” Duskie held up the blue paper, that unrolled to show white drawings- lines, squares, circles, and text…

“I believe that is known as a blueprint.” Hibiscus signed, making sure to spell out the word ‘blueprint’ with his hands so that his boyfriend would understand.

Duskie gasped. “THAT WAS WHAT I WENT OUT TO LEARN! Also, our computer exploded.” He checked over the blueprint. “Wait, this is a blueprint for a computer! Uh… What do blueprints do?”

Hibiscus patted Duskie on the head and mentally prepared for a long round of adorable questioning.

(They got a new computer after.)
