Entry 17: Video, Public

[scentbombed]

Chromie, given that the Barge seems to largely run on 21st Century Earth standards, maybe we could incorporate a bit into the welcome brochure on... er, well, all of that.

[She has a book called "Lasers and You" in her hands, but she just looks sort of dazed.]

Honestly, it's a lot to catch up on.

[Private to Satsuki]

Speaking of which, how's, um, Haruki doing?

[Backdated to pre-Risa, private to Buffy, text]

[As always, Angua writes in longhand. But the writing is a little smudged, because someone has been drinking.]

can I tallke to you about ſomething if you promiſe to never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever tell aneyone?

ever?

He has grown significantly. [ He's an adult set of pixels now! ]

private;

[scentbombed]

That's... good? [Isn't it?]

private;

[technophilic]

He seems to think so. It has not resulted in any significant changes in program function. But he seems... happy. [ Which may or may not be abnormal for a Tamahotchi. ]

private;

[scentbombed]

And what's your take on it?

private;

[technophilic]

I believe it is a... good thing. [ Although she can't really explain why. ]

private;

[scentbombed]

Oh, good, then.

How's the pub treating you?

private;

[technophilic]

It is as expected. [ Boring :c ]

private;

[scentbombed]

[Baby steps, Angua. Baby steps.]

Do you talk to a lot of people?

private;

[technophilic]

I do not. [ She doesn't really talk to anyone. Except sometimes to ask them why they're staring at her. ]

private;

[scentbombed]

Do.

private;

[technophilic]

Why? Conversation does not improve my ability to serve customers.

private;

[scentbombed]

It does, I promise you. [Admittedly, she prefers to drink in places where the bartenders don't talk... but she's aware that that isn't a preference everyone shares.]

private;

[technophilic]

Why?

private;

[scentbombed]

Because drunk people want to talk. You'll learn a lot.

private;

[technophilic]

They may talk. I have no need to.

private;

[scentbombed]

It's an assignment. You do now.

private;

[technophilic]

And if I do not?

private;

[scentbombed]

You'll be here longer and so will I and you'll have to listen to me gripe about it instead of listening to the drunks at work.

private;

[technophilic]

How will talking to drunks help my graduation?

private;

[scentbombed]

It will help in ways you will understand when you have talked to more drunks.

private;

[technophilic]

That is not an answer.

private;

[scentbombed]

Yes, it is. You need the experience. When you've experienced more, you'll understand.

Re: private;

[technophilic]

[ She will just fume for a minute and call it 'contemplating'. Because Satsuki doesn't fume. ]

Very well.

[slayage]

[This is weird. She still isn't used to Angua's language but she gets it after a couple of reads.]

As long as you're not planning to kill a bunch of people, sure. [Her attempt at humor doesn't always show through in text.] I mean, of course. What's up?

[prayformefather]

What are you missing out on?
