He had slept well and awoken to find himself still in Daniels robe his mask clutched in his hand and under a thick warm quilt. He had been dreaming but he couldnt remeber what about and his cheek was damp with dribble from being so soundly asleep. He lay still not sure what had startled him awake, and then he had heard it. KNOCK KNOCK on the still locked door. He quickly and whilst still under the quilt pulled on his mask and sat up,
"what"? he growled out with a hint of sleep still in his voice.
"Rorschach its Daniel, its 11am thought you would like some breakfast its waiting downstairs if you would care to join me"?
there was a hint of unease in Daniels voice. waking Rorschach seemed like a deadly task, not unlike prodding an unchained tiger with a very small stick . The door had been locked as Daniel had expected but it had taken a lot of knocking to get a response and for a second Daniel had been worried for his friend, until he heard the sleep filled voice call out. Rorschach had slept. Daniel waited for a reply holding his breath.
"yeah sure gimme a minute" came the response.
Daniel had gone to wait in his kitchen trusting that Rorshach could make his own way which he did not 15 minutes later. They ate and Daniel as usual , did all the talking whilst as discreetly as possible watching his friend eat. 3 pieces of toast with jam, one huge bowl of chocolate snappy snapps with two heaps of sugar placed on top by Rorscach, two cups of coffee with cream and sugar, and several chocolate chip cookies. Daniel liked watching his friend eat, he knew Rorschach did not eat often and probably when he did it was cold beans or worse. After the injury it was important for his friend to eat well and rest, although the amount of sugar Rorschach ate it was any wonder he had any teeth thought Daniel to himself. After they had finished eating and the usual small talk of weather reports, sleeping well, wound dressing and so forth, Daniel decided that as Rorschach didnt seem to be in a rush to go home, he would get on with some work online and leave his friend to amuse himself either watching dvds or the tv. Normally the newspaper would have been delivered but as the storm outside was still raging and flooding had closed roads there would not be any newspapers for a while so Rorschach would just have to embrace the 21st century. They went down into the den and Daniel flopped onto the computer chair and flicked on the screens. Rorschach followed silently and when Daniel with good humour under hand threw the remote control at Rorschach,
" think fast " was what Daniel called, thinking it would be caught what happened next stunned him. Rather than catch the remote control Rorschach stepped out of its way and watched as it hit the floor and exploded into loose batteries and bits of plastic. Hands in his pocket Rorschach looked at Daniel and Daniel with mouth open looked back stunned.
" you were supposed to catch it" Daniel said
" What was it"? was Rorschachs monotone reply
" the remote for the big tv, shit seriously dont you ever loosen up?" Daniel wasnt angry it was just seeing that response It was so unlike Rorschach, normally the reflexes of a cat mixed with brilliant ability flexibility and strength, for his friend to just side step and watch the remote fall to the floor,well Daniel was lost for words.
" Sorry didnt realise" Rorschach stooped down and picked up the batteries and back which had luckily been the only damage sustained to the remote and walked over and placed it all on the desk. Daniel started to put it back together and as he clipped the back on and went to hand it back looked up to see Rorschach staring at the screen of the computer, he swiveled around to see what his friend was looking at. The computer was on stand by the screen saver was swirling around the edges of the screen changing colours and shapes as it did so.
" whats it doing"? asked Rorschach
"whats what doing"? Daniel asked
"the screen whats it doing is it broken"?
Daniel looked at the screen confused, and it dawned on him, Rorschach didnt know what the basic screen saver was. He didnt want to make his friend feel self concious so he merely stated it was waiting for him to begin and if Rorschach wanted he could help out. Rorschach silently pulled over the twin computer chair behind him and grunted.
Rorschach watched as daniel with lightning fingers tapped the buttons and clicked the little thing on the right. The screen lit up and a picture of an owl popped up to fill the screen.
As Daniel began clicking and typing Rorscahch began to find himself confused. Little pictures and warnings and bars with writing all seemed to fly across the page and Rorschach was amazed how Daniel ignored them all,and carried on typing words and phrases into the top and clicking and then making a little arrow move around seemingly all by itself and then it just stopped.
Silently Rorschach raged at himself for being so absorbed by the screen that he hadnt noticed Daniel had stopped and was looking at him intently.
"Rorschach please dont punch me but have you ever used a computer before"?
Daniel saw a slight head movement from under the mask and he knew he was being looked at squarley in the eyes and then a head shaking movement followed by a gruff
"no"
Daniel swallowed the dryness in his throat before he continued
" well you know the internet holds so much information, information you could use on the perps, i can teach you if you would like?" "its really very simple"...
Four hours later an hour of which had been Rorschach getting to grips with how to use a "mouse" not "rodent" as he kept calling it, and understanding if you ran out of room on the mouse pad you merely picked up the mouse and placed it back on the centre of the mat Rorschach was online.
He now knew the terminogy of keys not buttons, window, cap locks, delete, how to use wikipedia and do google search and open and close windows. Daniel had enjoyed teaching him and they had shared numerous cups of coffee all whilst Rorschach had learned about the interweb as he kept calling it, Daniel hadnt the heart to correct him so let it be. Rorschach had began to now look up things that seemd to have no reference whatsoever and Daniel had switched on the big tv to watch the weather reports and news to give his friend some privacy but whilst still being at a shoutable distance if need be.
orphanages and names had been google and address searched, certain crimes looked up from newspaper reports years gone by and many many image searches of city hot spots via google maps. Rorschach was getting the hang of it and was on his 5th cup of sweet coffee when somthing awful happened.
Rorschach had been looking up crime reports of a prostitute ring in the area which was run by a man called "tricky dick the slick flick" or Richard Head according to the police data base, he enjoyed cutting up his girls with a flick knife ( hence the name) if the didnt pay him his share and so they were marked for life as one of his girls. Rorschach had been searching for this particular bit of scum for a while but Tricky Dicky never personally got involved in dirty business always letting lower minions do the mucky work, Rorschach has personally broken at least 37 fingers of different minions to get bits of information on their boss but each one knew very little of what or where their boss was.
Rorscahch had typed in to the search bar "TRICKY DICK SLICK FLICK" in the hope the interweb would reveal more information to him. What it gave him was somthing entirely different.
Porn sites had popped up. Filling the screen ads for slick flicks in your area. meet slicky flicking girls, free girls,cheap girls, girls gagging for you, all with gifs and bright flashing neon colours. Rorschach panicked. He desperatly tried to x click the ads but in his fluster he enlarged the pictures gaining access to full screen images of breasts, fully top naked women, women sucking dildos, and many other varios positions all advertising porn. The more he clicked the worse he made it untill to his horror he was watching a 30 second preview of the site he was on. The sound was on full and suddenly the room erupted with the sounds of a woman groaning with pleasure and crying out "yes yes yes" in a husky climactic voice. Rorscach shot back from the desk the swivel chair having wheels flew away from the desk and as it flew back he stood and swirled to find Daniel staring open mouthed with a grin spreading across his face like a cheshire cat.
" Daniel i... i ... its not what you think" He growled as Daniel sauntered cooly over to the computer and muted the groaning womans voice much to Rorschachs releif.
"dude its ok, pop ups get ya, my anti spam isnt what it should be its cool dont sweat it i know you aint like...that"
Daniel closed the windows one by one and said no more as he did. Rorschach rubbed his hand over the top of his head as if he were running it through his hair but over his mask, he was and he hated it embarressed to say the least. filth, pure filth had just violated this room, soiled its purpose for justice and it was his fault. What must Daniel be thinking of him right now, that he was no more than a debase animal and not worthy of being a watchman. Daniel would never watch such things. He stood and waited not sure what to do with himself.
Daniel as always read the situation perfectly, he knew his friend well enough by now and knew that nothing said in these circumstances was best.
"you finished with the web for now?" he asked turning to look at rorschach who grunted at him and nodded the swirling mask.
Rorschach was most certainly done. porography on the interweb who would have thought it.
