"I don't know how I feel about using the internet."

"Clare you'll do fine."

Chip was standing beside her, at a laptop which Chip spelled with wi-fi. "It's pretty easy, actually. And I've already made you an account! You just have to go on the site and ask questions."

"I don't get what this has to do with tumbling."

"It has nothing to do with tumbling. It's called Tumblr."

The blonde bit her lip and turned to the keyboard. Her fingernails clicked against the plastic of the keys. She didn't know how to type, so she was hunting and pecking. Chip made a note to teach her soon.

"I don't know, Chip."

"Just try it. They won't bite. Besides, you're friends with garudamage, so you'll do great. I'll teach you how to interact with the good ones and the trolls."

"Trolls!?"

"Internet creeps. Calm down, Clare. You'll be fine."


Chip taught her the basic controls. Enter text. Reply. How to ask questions. Lingo, though he wasn't completely hip on it anyways.

"I think you're all set."

"What did you set my account as?"

"lavendcrkeeper"

"Why?"

"It matched you. Lavender, like the flower, and keeper, because you're the gatekeeper."

"Okay."

Chip frowned. "Do you not like it?"

"No, I like it. But won't people know that it's me? It implies that I'm the gatekeeper."

The yellow mage laughed. "There are a lot of people claiming to be me. It comes with being a celebrity."

"Okay." Clare didn't look terribly convinced, but she went with it. "What do I do now?"

"Just browse around. Find some memes-"

"Memes?"

"-reblog things, make your blog. It's all fun. Just watch out for the excessive cursing."

Clare nodded and took to the keyboard again. "Okay. I'll try it. But if I don't understand it-"

"I'll help you. I'll come back, I'm just going to work. I'll see you tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Okay." She was already reading about the voices in her head not changing volumes.
