[TEXT] UN: STOPMESSAGES

[eyeforaneye]

A number of things.

First, I want to know how many people are familiar with ninja and the shinobi world.

Second, I’m interested in increasing my knowledge when it comes to the technology on the ship.

Third, in connection with the second point, is there a way to stop others from being able to send messages to your communicator? Stopping all of them temporarily would also be acceptable.

[ That's it, Sasuke's first message, no name attached and no hint of an introduction in sight. Still, it's downright personable for him. ]

( welcome to space life, Sasuke. )

Yes, I rather suspected that would be true. Which is why the romance is a nice little fiction, and only a fiction.

Good to know. Interesting, too, since I think I've only run into a handful of different world language crosses like that? One for English, too, which is a primary language or secondary language in several nations on my homeworld.

( He had to ask okay HE NEEDED TO KNOW FOR SURE )

[eyeforaneye]

[ He's making notes on this conversation as he has several others. Right. Look up "English". ]

Are you disappointed?

And is English the most commonly spoken and written here?

[genice]

No, I'm not. Being disappointed in another man's reality is a poor decision to make. I am curious. I'd love to hear about what your world experience has been like.

It isn't. I'm not sure what is, but I'd say you'll find that while a number of people speak and write English, there's also a number who speak and write in Japanese, or in the language from your world that seems to be a close cousin. It's a good thing our comm units have their own power sources, but it makes me wonder what happens if something interferes with those?

[eyeforaneye]

I'm not going to wait for something like that to happen in order to find out. Better that I just start learning the language now. [ Right. He says it like it's so easy, but his mind has apparently been made up.

It's easier to talk about than his world, anyway, a longer pause following before he eventually sends a follow-up text. ]

I don't know that my experience makes for a good story. I'd rather hear yours.

[genice]

A give and take seems appropriate. Especially if you're interested in English... I'd be interested in continuing to improve my Japanese as well.

[eyeforaneye]

That's acceptable to me, as long as I have the opportunity to learn.

If it's lessons, then we should establish a schedule.

[genice]

Schedules work well for me. If you don't mind canine company, mornings would work, but with the ship still largely being nonfunctional my schedule's free around general endurance and toning training.

[eyeforaneye]

If I have to deal with a dog, I will.

My schedule is also open; I can move my own training around as needed. The only thing set in stone is unavailability between 1400 and 1500. [ That... is his nap time. ]

[genice]

( Sasuke.

You have a nap time. )

Mornings then. Makkachin will appreciate the walk before and after! There's a few decent places out in the atrium to meet that still are semi-decent even with systems down, if that works.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Don't you interrupt his fucking nap time. ]

Fine. I'll bring writing instruments.

But be more specific than "mornings".

[genice]

( Sasuke why are you actually like, five years old. )

0600-0700 ♥

( like he said, mornings! )

[eyeforaneye]

[ Lace up and fight me. ]

Lose the heart.

[genice]

( Laces up and... meets you on the ice? That's what you mean right. )

Hearts don't sway so easily. ♥

Also, commands and demands tend to go over less well than requests.

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... ]

They're fickle enough if they're showing up this early. Don't be late tomorrow.

[genice]

Of course, of course. Don't forget a notebook!

[eyeforaneye]

Don't nag me, whatever your name is.

[genice]

Victor Nikiforov!

( says nothing about nagging, since he only remembers to on occasion, and moreso... Sasuke you've earned it apparently )

[eyeforaneye]

[ Don't you use that adorable dog against me. ]

Describe yourself so you're easy to find.

[genice]

( Sasuke he's not sexting you okay wow

Victor, practical in nature more often than people realise, cuts out the whole description middleground and simply takes a snapshot of himself waving at the camera, Makkachin draped over his shoulders, curious what Victor's up to. )

The photo function on these tends to work better than simple descriptions in words! Now you'll know for sure.

[eyeforaneye]

[ my damn FONT, also what're you wearing, etc.

He stares down at the first photo he's been sent yet, seeing... exactly what he'd expected, really, someone who appears far too peppy for the situation. The living embodiment of too many exclamation points. ]

Fine, it'll do. I'll find you.

[genice]

( uh, what i put on this morning, so like, socks... trousers... a shirt... a sweater... oh. shoes!

Victor gives his comm a thumbs up, which does nothing, since it's not a live feed. Soooo he types out a response: )

Sounds like a plan. See you tomorrow!

[eyeforaneye]

[ Why am I getting strong hints of nerd through this communicator right now. ]

Yeah. Fewer exclamation points.

[genice]

( Figure Skating Nerdery is at an all time high on this end of the comm; on the other end resides Ninja Nerdery. What a pair of fools.

Also cute he has a nickname from the ninja already.

CLEARLY THAT'S WHAT "Fewer exclamation points" means. Since there's no please. It must be a nickname. (smile) )
