END GWYNYTH DIARY ENTRY
TOOBE ENTRY
Well shit. All nodes have gone down except one (plus Jabba’s). That guts the strike. Technically. But people are still out in the streets celebrating!
I can’t believe their stupid plan is working. I love them.
END TOOBE ENTRY
GWYNYTH DIARY ENTRY
Balls of fire! Scratch and Winc are actually sitting together in the Manhattan office of EcoTech, in the node room, typing to one another side by side (Winc’s idea of an icebreaker, I imagine). The two of them seem quite oblivious to the law closing in, having now pegged them to NYC.
*** You are in Private Room “Hee Hee” ***
Winc:::sleepy smile:: Good morning.
Scratch:Check this out! Dueling computers!
Winc:::blinking:: You seem very awake.
Scratch:Way!
Are you reading the “Scratch and Winc” board?
Have you missed me?

Winc:Do you know you make me happy beyond words?
::shaking my head:: Delighted to see this side of you.
Scratch:So many sides. So happy to see you!
Winc:Me too you! ::softly:: Why are we typing then?
Scratch:We’re shy. And we have to keep activity on this line.
Winc:::dimly:: Still haven’t had any coffee yet, dear.
Scratch:When all the nodes shut off we’ll be the only ones left!
Winc:You seem pretty happy.
Scratch:Hysterically happy!
