Title: Virtuality
Rating: PG-13 to R (some language)
Pairing: B/W
Disclaimers: The usual
Summary: Things that happen in a chat room... my take on one that's been done before. :) This is NOT a songfic... I just kept having the song running through my head while I was writing so I figured I'd throw it in.
Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown sea
Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy
I'm a castaway, stranded in a desolate land
I can see the footprints on the virtual sand
Net boy, net girl send your signal round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk and set you free
Net boy, net girl send your impulse round the world
Put your message in a modem and throw it in a cybersea
Astronauts in the weightlessness of pixellated space
Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race
I can see the universe in a grain of sand
I can hold the future in my virtual hand
Let's dance tonight to a virtual song
Press this key and you can play along
Let's fly tonight on our virtual wings
Press this key to see amazing things
Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains
Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain
I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips
I can feel the voltage from her fingertips
Net boy, net girl send your heartbeat round the world
(lyrics by Neil Peart of Rush)
