[ Fine! It's still my victory today. ]

voice

[swordboning]

[She kinda did win tbh.]

[projections]

That's not something I can easily wrap my head around. [The concept of robots being like humans. It's too much for him to deal with. ]

Hey Athena, do you have a Cybuddy?

[psycholawgy]

Do you mean those pets?

Good afternoon.

I was wondering if you might be able to teach me a bit more on the subject of communicating through text on these devices. I've seen many more faces than the one I know [ :D ] and wonder if there is more I am missing in my knowledge.

HI SABER!!! :D Good afternoon to you too!! :3 It's so nice to hear from you; I hope you're having a good day!

:) smiley
:D smiley with mouth open
:P smiling with your tongue out
:( sad face
:'( CRYING!!
>:( angry
>:'( angry while crying
:O surprised
>:O angry and surprised at the same time
@-- rose! the flower

Hold on, I'll think of more but those are the ones at the top of my head.

[ She can't emoji since she's not Japanese, ahaha :c ]

[ Woah, woah so many, Saber just looks like a cave woman staring down at her phone!! ]

Yes, my day is well so far. Thank you.

[ It's like texting someone's grandma. ]

I see. That is many different choices. I have seen many people not use them at all. Are people expected to use them whenever possible?

text;

[psycholawgy]

There's pretty much an emoticon for every feeling ever :D You don't have to use them. Some people don't! It makes them sound more serious, though. And sometimes, it's scary :o

text;

[invisibleair]

Then I am thought of as overly serious if I do not attempt to use a face each message? :O

text;

[psycholawgy]

Usually, yeah :o Especially if you don't know the person that well.

But say, if Archer uses an emoticon, THAT WOULD BE SO WEIRD!!! @_@ Do you get what I mean?

text;

[invisibleair]

Would it not be simpler to message them with video?

[ Because she's not getting why everyone likes to text all the time. ]

I believe I understand.
...Is there a nodding character I can use?

text;

[psycholawgy]

But what if you can't send them a video? Say, they're at work or they're in class.

You shouldn't be texting in class anyway...

I'm not sure if there's an emoticon for nodding, but you can type it out, like... *nods*

See?

[projections]

Yeah, those pets.

Are they anything like your robotic friends?

[psycholawgy]

No way! Widget is more special!

It's true.

[invisibleair]

I have never been to a class before. However if you needed to speak to someone could you not excuse yourself?

[ She really doesn't get what it's like to be a normal kid!

Oh! Let her try that out now! ]

*nods*

[psycholawgy]

You can't really text in class, it's rude to the professor. Studies first before texting! Texting is extracurriculars.

*waves at*

[invisibleair]

And you are not allowed to leave if the message is of import?

:)

[psycholawgy]

You can, but they won't respond right away. :(

Btw Saber, you're so cute, trying to learn emoticons and *actions*!

[For some reason, Athena is getting a call from someone. And by the sounds of it, it's for something pretty serious.]

Uh, hey... This is Athena Cykes, right? I'd like to interview you about something, if you don't mind.

[psycholawgy]

[ ... yeah, I know this voice. ]

Are you the guy in my dream?

[terci]

Yeah, I-- wait, in your dream? [Huh...]
