Okay but you say this like it's not the funnest thing I've ever heard. A full on battle against every penguin in here? $%#! yeah.

[as for the second question:] They said I couldn't beat them in a fight and also tried to mansplain my power to me, so they're dead to me.

[ballies]

There’d be a looot of “dood”ing.

[ oof. ]

That fast, huh? It’s not going to be an issue, being at odds with your team leader?

[sharkgirl]

[a shrug.]

I don't really care if my team wins or not. [her world can go fuck itself!] So I don't see why I have to be buddy buddy with some guy who sucks.

[ballies]

Isn't there a whole thing about saving our home worlds in the whole... winning team thing?

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. If you believe any of the stuff they're telling us.

[ballies]

It's not like we have much else to do but go along with it for now. Worst case scenario, it kills time. Best case scenario, we find out a little about how to go home.

[sharkgirl]

[she shrugs.]

Yeah, whatever. [flippantly!] Do you want to go home?

[ballies]

Yeah. I was doing something back home. I need to see it through.

[sharkgirl]

... What's your world like?

[ballies]

It... could be hard to explain, based on what you're used to. It's really built up and busy. A few people here have said they don't have the levels of technology we do -- computers, cellphones, vehicles, modern living everywhere.

[sharkgirl]

[eyebrow raise]

We have flying cars and digital billboards, if that's what you're worried about. I knew what a cellphone was before I got here. [what the fuck is nimona's canon: an essay]

[ballies]

Oh thank god. Trying to explain computers to people has been giving me a headache.

[sharkgirl]

[she cackles at that]

I know, Ace didn't know what cars were but he knew what a robot is. Like, what. [she grins.] We've got computers, too. And the internet.

[ballies]

He's from an era of pirates, they pretty much vanished hundreds of years ago!! He tried to make fun of the fact where I'm from we have so many landlocked places and he doesn't even have a fully completed world map!! They're still completing it!!

[ she likes ace. ]

Man. We're going to need a technology 101, I don't think Temenos knows what a phone is and he tried to ask me about magic so I know he's not from where I'm from. [ ....... ] Do you know what magic is? Outside of video games?

[sharkgirl]

[help]

Maybe we can hold a like, seminar on tech? Me and you teach the masses how to use a phone, because honestly, half of the people here are like bwuhhhh what's an app. [as for the rest of that:] And yeah. I do. It's not a huge thing where I'm from, but I know magic.

[dreamwidth what the fuck is your notif system i am getting these all out of order help me]

[ballies]

[ denise mashing the "fuck the roleplayers" button ]

Oh, what. I feel so cheated. How come I don't get tech and magic.

[ DAMMIT MODERN SOCIETY. ]

... they really are though. Vane's picking up texting and emojis pretty well even if he won't turn off caps. [ not-so-old man yells at cloud. ] But we have phones, so we're going to have to use them, I'll bet.

[sharkgirl]

That's such an old guy thing. Balli--

[she starts, and then stops. and then starts again like she didn't say anything.]

Anyway, yeah, I bet we will. I don't know for what, other than the tokens stuff. Maybe we'll have to develop a secret code and destroy an oppressive regime or something.

[ballies]

Balli--?

[ ..... hmm. well, when nimona dodges the topic, she just files that one away for the moment. tama opening her mental files and filing "balli" under "possible trauma". ]

We could use binary. Or morse, I guess. But people will probably be able to figure that out... Hexadecimal?

[sharkgirl]

Yooooou lost me.

[she's ignoring the balli allegations what is that. who said that.]

[ballies]

Types of code! Morse was literally used for coded messages.

[ she'll let this go... for now... ]

[sharkgirl]

Oh, huh. Can you teach me?

[ballies]

Sure. It's just a lot of dashes and dots, like this--

[ she knocks her hand against something solid that i'm saying is nearby. with a bit too much force actually. ]

Ow. %&%^!

[sharkgirl]

[sorry she just explodes into giggles at the censoring]

Nice job.

[ballies]

[ grumbling ]

There is so much to remember.

[ SMACKING HAND = HAND HURT. god. ]

[ballies]

[ seriously though what the fuck ]
