[It's such a lovely day in Luceti that Raven thought it would be quite nice to take the time to cook something new for his fellow housemates. Not out of generosity mind you, more out of sheer boredom since he had no intention of eating it himself. After flicking through the recipe books he had settled on making a refreshing coconut flavoured sorbet.

However, he wasn't expecting coconuts to be this difficult to work with and had no idea how to get it open. After struggling with a knife for twenty minutes he decided that it was going to take more extreme measures to get through it's deceptively furry shell. Using his bow he placed a magic spell into the ground, then jumped back and threw the coconut at it. As a result, the coconut exploded into little pieces and splattered across the front yard, not exactly what he was going for.]

That's it, I give up! [He sighed and scratched his head, he didn't want to waste the nice weather so he needed a new idea. So he decided to grab his journal and ask. Might as well clean up the mess he made too, thinking that maybe he should have just gone to the store to get a hammer instead of being so lazy about it.]

Alright, I'm tryin' ta make a nice summery dessert and I need some suggestions! I'm thinkin' something exotic? Ya know, the kind that screams a nice hot day at the beach? Sorbet, ice cream, parfait, all the stuff I hate eatin' myself and really I don't know all that much about.

Aren't sickles somethin' used for farming? Kind of look like scythes? How would you eat...

I think I might be hearin' ya wrong here.

Think fruit juice. Only frozen. And on a stick.

Now that makes more sense!

So ya just put them into a tray and freeze 'em I guess?

Easy and scrumptious.

How do I make the "pop" flavour then? Is it fruits, veggies, dairy?

[Popsicles are a foreign mystery.]

Fruit. Occasionally dairy.

[He remains quiet, thinking for a minute. They do have a blender in the house that he's not too familiar with yet. Maybe if he shoved a load of fruit into it and switched it on it might produce results.]

So you just take the juices, stick a stick in it and freeze 'em?

I think so? I mean -- I've never seen them being made. But it makes sense.

You've never made 'em before? Then how am I supposed ta know what ta do! I was countin' on you ta tell me!

I've enjoyed lots of them. Doesn't that count for something?

Well if you've enjoyed 'em then they must be good. Any idea if there's a recipe book anywhere?

Normally, we'd just Google this sort of thing. Back home.

[Oh god the internet.]

Google? [Let him think about that from the way you phrased it.] Is that a person?

Nah. It's a...page. An e-page, if you will. Think the journals, only with the ability to search them by, uhm, keywords?

A journal you can search with? I wonder why ours can't do somethin' as simple as that!?

Too few geeky millionaires who got picked on in high school went on to join the Malnosso Organization?

Haha, the Malnosso tend to only hire the biggest pain in the butts who aren't all that useful. Shame really, makes our lives that little bit harder.

But it's true. We could at least use some kind of an...appendix.

Ya can read old entries, it's just a pain goin' through all the other ones ta find them.

I'm guessing Google isn't as difficult?

Even a non-techie like me can use it. So? Simple. You just type in what you want and it sifts through all the info for you.

But it can only go through other stuff that's on the journal things, right? So if it was in a book somewhere then Google couldn't find it?

That's the beauty of the world wide web. It's like...a lot of books. Only connected.

[ buffy summers somehow always ends up teaching modern earth 101 to raven and she's always the last person who should be doing it. ]

[His perspective on Earth is amazingly distorted.]

World wide- Oh! OH! I think I know what somethin' like that is! We have a network that connects all the blastia in our world together, I'm guessin' yer world wide web does that with computery things? [Since they do have computers of some sort back home.]

Uhhh. Network? Yep. Yes. That sounds about right.

Minus the blastia.

How come your world gets all these cool things, like helicopters and peanut butter and google?
