[discord @everyone notification noise]

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.

Oh how lovely and wonderful a discovery it is that these actually work! This is Chrion by the way! 💖

Who was Your Majesty, but if you would, please refrain from using that title in the future.

These things are absolutely fascinating. A marvel of modern technology. Feel free to get in touch with me at any time! ✨✨✨

OH AND!!! If you happen upon any damaged butterflies, please get Rei immediately!!! It is vitally important~~~! 😁

Everyone here thinks I'm quite old as it is, so I suppose that fits the bill...
emberserker: Self-satisfied. (because i can)

[personal profile] emberserker 2020-10-05 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
You do give that impression. Even if we aren't sure exactly how old we are. One can probably tell from appearance, Kingslayer notwithstanding... and Seal, who knows how their species ages.

YOU FOUND ONE TOO???

[Can't say hello now, she's too distracted by exciting discoveries.]

i encountered one in the library up in limbo
i documented the whole thing
[She sends an attached photo along with the text, showing an exhaustive transcript of the event, including
a sketch of the butterfly in question.]


what makes you think rei is connected
can you send me your notes on it
DID YOU TAKE SAMPLES CAN YOU SEND ME YOUR SAMPLES


[Multiple minutes later:]

also this is medic and i think your new name is very nice :)
mementomoritz: try again? (test results are inconclusive)

@materia_medica

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-10-05 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
you don't think it's handy??
it could be really good for calling backup if anyone gets into trouble

plus it's just nice to talk to friends sometimes ^-^

I confess that I haven't seen Seal for some time. And as for age, do such numbers really matter here?
schardynfreude: (cast weight to feet)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-10-05 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured out it was you. [But now is not the time to get snarky.] Mona gave me the new name, and Phoenix the
screen name?
I do like it but find Chiron to have a certain
It felt nice.

[He doesn't necessarily want to say She Did Research Specifically To Pick A Name For Me And That Gives Me Feelings at this time!]

I took no notes, but I can recount what I saw and heard from the injured butterfly 🦋 I saw in the arcade. I can't be certain the vision or memory belongs to Rei but given the mention of Executor I heard, it seems a fair enough guess. Give me a moment.

[He'll type up what he can, though not quite as detailed.]
mementomoritz: good day (good friends)

hi veil! :D
there should be a key that says "space" or one that's just a long blank rectangle?
press it to make space in between words


[Medic is an expert in biology, not technology, but she's about as up-to-date as you'd expect a teenager from a post-modern futuristic society to be with stuff like this.]

everyone can talk together here
ive never seen anything like this though

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

Useful, yes... I imagine Iris running off the other day must have led to this. Rei was in quite the panic.
emberserker: Moody and sad. (sighhhhhhhh)

I suppose nobody's enforcing it in the casino, if that's what you mean.
