[he opens his mouth to agree that ace was right because he doesn't know about computers at all but then everyone agrees it's a computer thing so he nods sagely.]

It's definitely for a computer.

[selfimmolation]

Aren't computers like... more powerful phones?

[ looks at the dragon. where's the snail in this ]

[doghouse]

Don't they usually say phones are like mini computers?

[ let's make this more complicated ]

[selfimmolation]

... Is that different?

[doghouse]

...I think so?

[selfimmolation]

But it's the same thing, isn't it? A big version of something small or a small version of something big...

[doghouse]

Hmm...

[selfimmolation]

... Well...?

[doghouse]

I dunno!

[selfimmolation]

[ pauses

laughs ]

Well, you're probably right anyway! I don't know anything about this stuff.

[spiritconsulting]

You've got a lot to learn, Ace. Phones are just for calling people long distance and sending short SMS messages. A computer can do far more. Not even counting the internet.

[selfimmolation]

[ nods. he has no idea what the internet is still. ] What's an SMS? I thought it was texting?

[spiritconsulting]

[he...doesn't know what that stands for, actually.]

It's texts. Simultaneous Messaging System.

[selfimmolation]

Ohhhhh. Back home, when you want to send a letter outside your island, you're relying on seagulls. This whole phone thing is a lot faster.

[spiritconsulting]

[help.]

It's definitely more convenient than that, yes.

[selfimmolation]

We do have something like the calls though.

[spiritconsulting]

Is it also a seagull?

[selfimmolation]

It's called a Den-Den Mushi. They're psychic snails.

[ this is worse than a seagull. ]

[spiritconsulting]

Oh. I've encountered those before.

[he says this so instantly.]

[selfimmolation]

Woah, really? No one else has heard of them! Well, Robin, but she's on Luffy's crew, so obviously.
