[ TEXTING MINGLE ]

[danseur]

[ Let's break the ice with some TEXTING! A lot of weird shit goes on in Lost Kenyon, since it is apparently a bastion for the supernatural. It seems like this afternoon a clumsy technopagan got in a little over her head and scrambled the cellular networks.

What that means is for this post, phone calls and texts are going everywhere except where they're meant to! That text meant for your mom might be end up going to the entire university English department; that shopping list you're sending to your wife might pop up instead on your hairdresser's smartwatch.

The messages, too, are getting a little mixed up: sometimes they're coming through as gibberish, or sending messages other folks are writing from your number! Basically- go crazy with it, have fun, and use this as an excuse to strike up a little easy CR with strangers. ]

no look u can't buy an emu egg
ur dad would kill me if it actually hatched and u had to take care of an emu
do u even know how to take care of an emu b/c it's not like a chicken or anything

if u buy that egg i won't kiss u for a whole year
yeah that's right
three hundred and sixty five days
so ask urself
is an emu worth it?

[thaumatourgos]

I'm not saying that ALL superhero movies are inherently about dicks, I'm just saying that if you know what to look for, there's a very consistent aesthetic pattern going on.

i'm not saying that i decided to do my phd for the refreshments.... buuuut also the only reason we diversified our diet past instant ramen last month is because my advisors keep brinigng those fancy cocktail weenies to history dept events

[keepwarm]

so in conclusion alcohol was a bad plan and im never going through that park again. i dont think that guy will ever be the same.

[danseur]

[ he isn't even paying attention to the number here. he definitely thinks he's still texting his mother. ]

maybe we should re-evaluate what websites your visiting

[hypnagog]

[ misfire? probably. he literally doesn't care, and will cheerfully text back: ]

that mean u got leftover ramen??

[gotspirit]

there were so many boring words in that
im not even sure cocktail weenies could save it

[keepwarm]

if you think that ones bad you really dont want to see the rest of my history. or my eating habits.

[Amrita's noticed... she just isn't going to mind.]

[keepwarm]
