[He's been trying to use the search contact function for the network as a search engine, and the result isn't what he's hoping; his own name activates a feed with an accidental selection of the wrong button, and he curses, with conviction.]

Fuck.

[Just once, before hanging up. He's a few drinks in, honestly.]

It ain't fucking Google, genius.

What the hell is Google?

Seriously?

The fuck were you trying to do, then?

[Mickey is, in fact, young enough that he has never known a time when Googling and searching weren't synonymous.]

Get news. Look for references to the yellow king.

The huh now?

What year are you from?

1995?

Search engines get smarter. Probably so they can advertise better.

But people say we don't have access to them here?

Nope. We're cut off from time, space and the internet. Pretty good library, though.

Google isn't a thing here dude.

Edited 2016-03-30 15:15 (UTC)

Google isn't a thing anywhere. That isn't a real word.

Google is a thing where I'm from.

What is the Yellow King?

Just stories the locals tell.

[He obviously does not count himself as one of them.]

Oh. Well I haven't heard of a Yellow King being here on the Barge.

You new here?

What are you doing, exactly?

Mistaking a basic search function for something useful, apparently.

Trying to find what?

The context for Carcosa.

Was that where the homicide happened?

Lovecraft fan? Be careful what you summon, if that was your intention. Outsiders are no laughing matter.

What's Lovecraft?

He was an author. I take it the "King in Yellow" refers to something besides the short story influenced by his writing? Do tell.

I don't know what it refers to, but Lovecraft might be a start.

Try the library, rather than the network in that case. May I ask what brought the title to your attention?
