[As they talk, he's going to pull a tool out from one of the boxes near the couch to start unscrewing useless bits of scrapped metal off the thing's face as they talk.]

They can be used like computers, and user interfaces. They can also be a GPS, telephone... they can do your banking and keep a schedule for you.

...They can hack into sub-systems and create proxies for you, as well as break firewalls and encrypt your information so you can't be traced.

[This is the most he's spoken in a while. Amazing.]

...
And they can interface with videogames, like Rhyme.

[He raises a brow like that. Figures someone like him would be a hacker... Dana Tempest really would like him. Most still, the thought of Brink being able to do things like that is kind of... exciting.]

He can do all that by default?

[Brink had made himself out to sound like a commercial product... it seems dangerous, but then again, so are computers.]

.....Rhyme?

An AllMate is only as good as its user.

[Again, a weirdly short, but to the point answer. He doesn't feel the need to explain that why an AllMate would be useful for a hacker to get a job done--if the Hacker wasn't skilled, the AllMate wouldn't compensate for actual ability.

He pauses in his work, taking out a pair of pliers from his toolkit next.]

...

Rhyme.

The VR game from back home that I was nearly undefeated in.

[Well. He likes the kid's style, all things considered. So he just nods quietly.]

So, you're trying to recreate the game here? [A pause.] Lucky me, then, getting ahold of the console early.

[Not that he has any idea how Brink would run a VR game, but... hell, he barely knows how to use a controller. Who is he to question it.

He picks one of the Usagimodoki off the ground and turns it over in his hand to inspect it.]

What are these?

Yes.

[Another short, brusque answer. This entire set-up, this mess of wires and the literal dozens of computers and cameras set up around the room...

It was all his attempt at re-creating Rhyme so he could have something fun to do again. Because it wasn't fun, honestly, just sitting around in a world where everything was strange and boring and painless.]

It won't be a console, it'll be projectable everywhere. [Vague, and he won't be explaining unless asked, but--he turns his head when Dodger picks up the small block. Which... now that it's in the others' hand, it's going to start softly crying with a low 'Pi, Pi' nose.]

...Usagimodoki.

It's my AllMate.

Th- it's the same thing as Brink?

[What a weird name, too... but with no knowledge of Japanese he doesn't catch the meaning. He ends up tossing the cube up in the air and catching it idly, while he watches Noiz work.]

Tech in your world must be something else, huh... I know a few chicks that would kill to have a cute keychain like this for a computer.

Aa. The same thing. AllMates come in all shapes and sizes.

[He's not really watching the other toy with the rabbity block, even if the thing starts yelling in its obnoxiously pitched voice when it's tossed around, followed by quiet crying noises. It's... an unbelievably childish AllMate in all ways, despite the owner.]

The more popular models for girls are teacup dogs. And a model for Kittens just came out back home. [There's a light snap sound as Noiz finally manages to pull a twisted screw out of the side of Brink's head.]

Technology is how the world runs, back home. It' weird to be surrounded by nature. [Like how everything is so... green here.]
