A few days after, uh... you know, all that shit goes down, the Executors will wake up one morning to find a fancy looking smartphone has been just... deposited next to wherever their heads happened to be as they slept. Thankfully for the chunky boys among us (lookin at you, Lion) they appear to be completely indestructible and have the unnerving ability to just sort of reappear in your hand whenever you realize you've misplaced it.

Fiddling with the phone will eventually lead you to a message from Rei, apparently sent before the phones were dished out.

Hi everyone. I thought it might be a good idea for us to have a way of keeping in touch in case of emergencies so I traded some books and food from Limbo to get these phones. We can send messages, make calls and just keep in touch with each other across Purgatory a lot more easily this way. I hope so, anyway.

The clerk said they could deliver them all for me when they were ready and I'm not really sure how that works so I hope they get to everyone in time.

With that – congratulations! You now have access to network features. Executors can use their phone to make text, video and audio posts as well as calling and texting each other privately. They can send photos, videos and audio recordings and, yes, there is a messaging app (Discordia, so it's called) full of emojis that already has a group chat set up. Enjoy, shitposters.

[She probably means the emojis. But there are pictures!!!

So she's going to get him making a V in a selfie in front of the mall.]

oh my gosh it can take photographs
hello chiron

[ okay, hang on, she doesn't know how the keyboard works but she knows what a camera looks like and there's a little camera picture next to the message box. maybe it's that?

a few minutes later, he gets a somewhat blurry photo of the park. she doesn't know how to change it to selfie mode. ]

Hello Mona 👋

You can either turn it around or there should be a button that makes the camera face you so you can see yourself on the screen if you want to take one of yourself. And who wouldn't want pictures of Mona!

[ okay, hold on. give her a second to figure this out. there's the button to make the camera appear... and then there's the button that takes the photograph... and a few others. it takes her a few tries to get the right one. but eventually there's a picture of her looking curiously at the camera. she'd wave, but she still has to hold it in both hands.

and then, another few minutes later, now that she's pressing all the buttons near the message box— ]

👏👏👏 You did it!!

[ after about ten whole minutes of "mona is typing..." ]

I think I'm getting the hang of it. 😤

You'll only get better with practice 🎉

It's so much faster than sending letters. 😮
Have you used something like this before, Chiron?

[daughterofthemark]

goodness it can paint portraits as well

[schardynfreude]

Something like that! It instantly captures the likeness of whatever it's pointed at with
hm you don't know what a camera is do you

We can all get together and make sure we all have a good idea how to use these!
