[LONG TIME NO POST. but hey, shiny new...typey-posty-devices. he must try. he must...fail to really get how this shit works.

the feed is sideways. a blink, a beat with an expression realizing oh hey it's doing a thing, and then a moment to quickly right the thing. this way. whew. okay.]

Ha, uh...Sorry. [sheepish.] I wasn't very good with the old one...and this one's stranger. [let him demonstrate by trying to fold one corner of it into view...but not really getting that far and just kind of. shaking the feed. oh well.]

Maybe it just takes getting used to... [by golly it only took months to feel comfortable with the old one what could go wrong with this.] I'll try not to do anything too strange or...press anything I don't recognize. [which is a lot.] I just wanted to make sure I could at least...hear from people again.

[a beat.

wait...]

I'm...being heard right now, right?

[oh no girls being charming (or just being girls) is still embarrassing to handle, judging by the sheepish ducking of his head.]

Oh, well...good. I'm glad. It means I haven't broken anything, at least...!

[revelation]

They're kind of confusing, huh? I had to have a friend show me a few pointers. It was really embarrassing because I kept turning the video function off while I was trying to respond.

[theguideless]

[a small chuckle, muffled because he's not trying to laugh.] Right, I...I think I might've done something like that before.

[revelation]

( she'll just have to laugh for the both of them then. ) That makes me feel a lot better then. Thankfully, its gotten a whole lot easier to use. I just hope they don't plan on replacing anything else any time soon.

[theguideless]

Me, too. [nodding quickly. one quick, big breath to stay off some nerves.

a beat.

oh– no, keep talking:] Oh, I...I'm Martin. [......] We...haven't met before, have we? [he looks very suddenly worried they did and he'd forgotten.]

[revelation]

Hmm? ( a pause, as she thinks because HOW EMBARRASSING to forget someone. ) I don't think so, but it's nice to meet you Martin! I'm Madoka Kaname.

[theguideless]

Ma...Madoka, Kan...Kaname. [hoo. that whole thing? welp...] It's nice to meet you, too.

[revelation]

Hehe, I hope my name is easier to pronounce than it is to get used to these things.

[theguideless]

[sklfha;] Ah, well, yes...I, wouldn't worry. I'll get it right. Both of them, I think.

[revelation]

Mm, I'd be happy to help you if you'd like.

[theguideless]

Oh–

Well...Well I figure I can use all the help I can get...

[revelation]

We can help each other! Because that's what friends do, right?

( friendship +1 )

[theguideless]

[friends?

oh, my... .,

Martin is pink, though grinning.]

So I've heard, yes.

[revelation]

Then let's help one another to the best of our abilities!

[theguideless]

Right. I'll do my best.

[beat.]

...Thank you.

[revelation]

I'll give a 110%!

( she blinks, but is soon enough smiling wide again. )

You're welcome, and thank you too.
