Can we all take a moment to admire the fact that 2801 technology still supports emoji functionality? 🤩 👍 🕷 💁 🩰 💫 🍆 🧊 💅 👁‍🗨 🎯 🤡 🔋 🐈 💲 🧙‍♀️ 🐦💋 🐜 👽 🕶 ⚡ 🕵🏻‍♀️ 💦 💦 💦

It seems like they're pretty set on calling us 'Hatchlings', so... hello, fellow Hatchlings, I'd like to play a game.

Two truths and a lie. I'll start.

  ① Starbucks makes the best lattes.
  ② I've never watched All Dogs Go To Heaven all the way through.
  ③ My birthdate is May 21st. What year? Every year. 😉😉😉 But my party in 2018 was 🔥🔥🔥.

you should try.
I bet you'd be amazing with some practice.

📝👍

[sunmon]

Very charming.
Oh what are these: 🥑🥝🥥 ?

[freightcars]

Feels like I can't reply being an asshole after that gesture, so
thanks

( hurgh how does he make reciprocal smalltalk without sounding stupid and weird or like he's a 14 year old on a date ​)

what do you watch

( Excellent nailed it what a fluid transition )

[unclesam]

yeah well, I need an alternative to letting you wipe the gym floor with me.
plus occasionally I can be nice. shocking, I know. I'll try not to make a habit of it.

I'm good with sci fi and fantasy.
if you're into trash talking movies, dumb action flicks are always and option, too.
and I'll find an alligator to feed you to if you tell anyone, but I might attempt to sneak a period drama or two in there.

[freightcars]

a period drama huh
are you like a Mr. Darcy kind of guy or is it more of a Hamilton thing

[unclesam]

we don't slander the emotionally constipated dreamboat in this house, buck, shut up. faced with my ma and sister, pa and I knew to keep our mouths shut and appreciate.
and hey I won't knock anything that's got good music, even if it ain't my usual speed.

[freightcars]

fair enough, can't argue with that

[unclesam]

that is the most sensible thing I've ever seen come out of you

yo did you hand your comms off to someone else to impersonate you?

[freightcars]

of course not
it's me, your friend borky
nothing to see here
what's your social security number

[unclesam]

you think you're hilarious, don't you

[freightcars]

I am hilarious

[unclesam]

what you are, chuckles, is an idiot. with one entire brain cell that you don't even have sole custody over.

fun fact starbucks had no stores in italy until 2018, trish will remember this thanks nat

[figlia_morbida]

Oh.

I realize we're from different "worlds", but it's strange to see "2018". What if that means some of us are from the same worlds but different times?

Like I'm from 2001.

So then...

I could technically be older than you, depending? Frankly, that's disgusting.

[THIS POST MADE HER THINK ABOUT BEING IN HER 30S....STOP.]

[figlia_morbida]

This response is the only worthwhile use of emoji. Thank you.

@Zigazigah

Isn't language all context? The post has plenty.

Mostly I'm trying to figure out how you can look at a picture of flames and not guess at least the word "hot".

[The rest of those, she'll give him that, but there doesn't seem to be a logic to them. If people start using emoji to talk in code then they may as well delete the network, though. That would be the worst.]

[neversmall]

[ What's this? Unexpected, unmerited encouragement? That is very much NOT a Ravka thing.

Or the sort of kindness Nina's experienced from near strangers.

"Kindness."

But. She's not sensed any lack of sincerity in Sam, it doesn't feel like mockery.

It's still weird. But okay. ]

I hope you realize you've just volunteered to be a person I practice on. 😈😇😁

[neversmall]

...they look like fruit? Or a bowl, that last one could be a bowl.

[ A SIGH FOR THE WANTING OF FRUIT THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE PUT INTO TEXT. ]

[mylawn]

If you're going to use an emoji you need to make it count

[unclesam]

oh I'm counting on it.
👨🏿🤜🏿✨🤛👩
that's us fistbumping 'cause we're awesome like that.

[ Oh yeah he's so here for this. There are few things as delightful as someone discovering a new joy and embracing it with all the energy they got, and Sam's ecstatic to support it.

If Natasha is able to help him get Redwing securely hooked into the network, he's 100% going to have him send Nina random emojis throughout the day. ]

[mylawn]

Not one for conspiracy theories?

@dorothea

[arnaults]

As a woman from 1185, do people really communicate with these little pictures where you're from? When you're from? I'm not sure which word is better.

[dissemblance]

You really don't get to pull that 'the 1930s were a pure and innocent time' bullshit with me, cowboy.

You're making friends.

It's cute.

[freightcars]
