[Dictated]

[lightbranded]

[Will had been thinking again.  He hadn't had much else to do, these last few weeks.]

I've been wondering something recently. What do Dark and Light mean to you? It seems like every person I've met has a different idea of what they mean.

[He pauses.]

Also, is there anything anyone needs any help with?  I haven't much to do, these days.  And I would like to do something useful with my days.

Anywhere?

[Will was a little lost in all this talk of modern technology. The most his family had ever had was a small television that spent most of the year in a cabinet.]

[Dairine nods as she walks into the room, glancing around to get a feel for the layout..]

Got it. [She knows what she's doing, so she can probably find a good place to set things up.]

[He watches with a faintly puzzled air about him.]

[Moving to a blank space of wall, she sets Spot down on the table. Dairine types a few commands, plugs in a DVD drive into the laptop, places the DVD into the drive, and then flips down Spot's screen.]

You ready, Spot? [A pause as Spot silently confirms YES with her.] Hit it.

[With that, Spot projects the DVD menu onto the wall. Dairine turns to Will.]

What do you think? Will this be OK?

[Will stares at this with confusion.]

What is that?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine blinks but isn't too surprised by the question. After all, she's met a number of people from times before modern technology by now.]

That... [She points to the wall.] ...is what a projector looks like. That... [points to the DVD drive] is a DVD player. And that... [points to the laptop-style Manual] ...is Spot.

Is it like a film reel?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine snickers a little.]

It's a little more high-tech than that, but the basic principles are the same: a bunch of still images played fast enough to make it look like they're in motion.

[lightbranded]

Goodness, they must have changed a lot.

[wizard_redfive]

Yeah, they have. Technology has come a long way in the past few years. [In certain respects, that is.]

[lightbranded]

How many years is that?
