back to school, ring the bell
WHO: Darlene & Kaneki
WHERE: RE CAFÉ in Heropa
WHEN: sometime in July, afterhours
WHAT: computer lessons and cheesecake.
WARNINGS: language at worst probably
"Dude." Darlene shovels another bite of cheesecake into her mouth and rolls her eyes. Rapturous, not sarcastic. "You were not kidding about this shit."
A big cup of coffee without any latte art, a big slab of cheesecake that Darlene has eaten a quarter off of, then mutilated the rest by idly dragging her fork through the top. Her headphones are pulled down around her neck, music blasting quietly, ambient noise in a room of otherwise near-quiet.
Her laptop is open. A tangle of wires ensures that it is cuddled, close, to the spare laptop she brought for Kankei. Darlene is not a very good friend, she is more than fine with not being a good friend, but if someone is going to learn anything about computers from Darlene, then they will learn on a decent setup.
She stabs the fork back into her cheesecake, then grabs for the laptop she'd brought for Kankei, turns it around without asking first.
"Okay, okay, let me see."
HELLO, WORLD. Boring and classic starter assignments in coding, but the best way is to start simple and work up. Kankei is way more patient than Darlene is, too. If someone told her to start with the basics, she would eviscerate them. She licks cheesecake off her thumb now, as she studies the screen.
"Congrats, noob, you are on your way." And she clearly likes what she sees, as she pushes the laptop back toward him, with a smirk. "Bored yet?"

As she turns the laptop away from Kaneki, he blinks, looking back at her. he didn't expect learning it all from the first hour, but he really wants something more advanced as fast as possible. No wonder he has been reading so many books about informatics and electronics and hacking.
"I will only be bored after I make my way into the government's servers" Kaneki is very ambitious. But isn't it only normal? He thinks it is. "And you? Bored of your cheesecake?"
no subject
Very emphatic, for all that she isn't chowing down right now. That's because there is business to discus, and to that--
"Okay, but you know the government here is wicked difficult, right. And I'm not saying that to like, discourage you or anything. I am in full support of this mission. I'm saying that they have got their shit on lock and I am having a hard time getting even a fingernail in there. I have tried."
Darlene folds her arms over her chest as she leans back in her chair, studying him across the tops of their laptops. The glow from her screen bathes her face from beneath with a cool and mechanical light.
"Do you really have to be the one to get in there? Delegate. Outsource."

However, it's exactly because he has been here for three years that it starts to matter more and more. If he hadn't been here for so long, he wouldn't care about this sort of thing at all, but it looks like the Porter likes him too much to let Kaneki go so soon. Might as well do more meanwhile.
"I've always depended on others for it. But I haven't always been lucky to know people who can do it, however." it's true. Before Darlene he didn't have others to help him out on everything he wanted to do. Batman is nice and all, but too much of a hardcore idealist for Kaneki's taste; also way too controlling, which is difficult when kaneki wants to do his thing without having someone frowning over his shoulder.
"Plus, after being here for so long, it's time I learn, right?"
