avalononline | Seventh: What is a meme? A miserable little pile of secrets (Accidental Text; un: Caster)

[Caster's lack of technological ability was hardly a secret in Avalon. After all, whilst these things proved themselves useful for communication here, what need did a Magus from the Age of Gods have to learn more than she needed to about these silly devices?

A coworker at the library had mentioned that it was possible to search the devices for information, though, so Caster decided to try and finally get an understanding of what this... 'meme' concept was that she and Stella had spoken about a couple of months back. All the context she had was a photo of an eel she got sent after all!

But unfortunately... No one had told her how to access the search, so she instead ended up accidentally spamming the network. Oops.]

what exactly is a meme

definition of meme

stupid device I will curse you if you do not carry out a search for me

[Someone stop her before she throws it at a wall.

Or troll her/make fun of her/send her actual memes and confuse her.]

[ Is this a post to the network or someone's submission to a beginner's poetry workshop? ]

[ Blake sends her a hyperlink to the network's equivalent of Google: ]

Use this.

Caster, please stop.

[Probably should have offered tech training too.]

[There's a pause as Caster clicks through on the URL and finds the search engine! All is right with the world!

...But where did the link come from though?]

oh

thank you

[Give her a minute...]

how did you see that?

[It's always nice to hear from her friends! She hasn't quite realised what she's done yet though.]

Oh, Homura, it's good to hear from you.

...Stop what?

[She needs very basic tech training. Very basic.]

Your texts. Everyone can see them. All you're doing is just posting on the network.

[And Caster is going to get one response to her search. Someone decided to go find her an eel meme and troll her.]

Eels?

[Apparently this is the one detail Yusuke hones in on.]

What in the name of... what are you doing?

[ ... ]

And what is a meme?

how do I tell Caster she's texting instead of searching?

[This response takes a while because she's actually laughing, but she does manage to send it through eventually.]

Okay, but what actually is a "meme"?

Your Majesty!

[ You can almost hear he snapping to attention. ]

A meme is like the "gene" of culture, information and memory that is passed on sociologically rather than biologically! In modern sense, it's usually humorous images or videos that just spread around the internet!

what is

this?

[ Well, she finds herself nodding along the the slew of words, understanding what she's just been told. Her niece is speaking her language, clearly. ]

Ah, I see. Many thanks, Gareth, your explanation was splendid.

Do you perhaps have an example of one of these memes?

[ ~~Oh good lord the king is learning about memes...~~ ]

What...? I was told I could search for information with these things, why did it send them to the network??

Because you used the wrong function for it.

...Wait, why were you looking up memes and dresses anyway?

[She found a meme! She's so proud of herself, it actually worked! This technology thing isn't so hard...]

[It's only a little later that she releases that this is a little bit 'fishy'.]

wait a moment who sent this

saber what are you

[Oh. Give her a moment.]

i really did send this to the entire network

stupid machine

i still don't know what exactly they are myself
i was told i could find out using these devices but

[She ended up in this mess.]

please ignore that

[Especially the cute dress part- that has nothing to do with you Saber, nothing at all.]

By all means, Your Magesty!

[ Of course she'd pick a knight-based image. ]

[Don't mind her just reading this conversation as well. Gareth please teach these two the ways of the meme!]

so that is what a meme is

by that logic if our myths are passed down in culture and legend over the centuries does that make them 'memes' as well

[She's so confused...]

morgan what are you talking about

wait what did i just do i was told i could make these devises search information for me

[Someone is terribly amused by this disaster.]

The messaging app isn't a search engine, you know.

i honestly have no idea

a friend sent me a picture of an eel a while ago and i believe that was a 'meme'
but i'm not sure i understand what exactly is a 'meme' and what is not

i didn't plan on everyone else seeing my research
