voice; Awake is difficult and no one understands

[promiselisting]

[ Huh. Here is an unusual thing. Futaba is not usually one to use voice (or anything besides text) on the network. Maybe she wants to reassure other people with her voice and to hear theirs? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her voice is still a bit muzzy with sleep. Maybe text requires more coordination than she has right now.

Either way, she's got an important post from her sort-of-brother to follow up on. ]

So.

[ There's a long, pregnant pause. ]

How many other memes are you all familiar with? Scientific curiosity.

[ She's been getting reputations up until now. The girl who gathers information. That one who really really mistrusts the Curti Center and is not afraid to be vocally critical of it. But it's past time she showed the world here who she truly is-

a shitposter. ]

I gotta go check some of these out. I'm not sure what memes I'd have in common, personally...

this can only end well

[Yotsuyu may be incredibly intelligent, but this is a realm of trickery she has little expertise in. After a good deal of fumbling with her iMog slate (and a fair bit of cursing), she manages to press 'U.']

[Kuposagi, sitting beside her, claps. It's so good to see Yotsuyu making friends!]

She did it, kupo! What next?

[thegoofball]

That! That's what gave me the indication! All the memes and jokes I've made, and you've said nothing!

[Did you know Lance's voice could be this shrill? Because it can be.]

[There's no reply, just a look of betrayal on Lance's face before he storms off to burst in on the other thread.]

[Keith knew. He heard it reach these octaves once before, three years ago. Except the context was way different and not nearly as lighthearted.]

Yeah. I thought it was obvious I was the only one not getting it.

[Because, well. Yeah.]

[promiselisting]

Man you guys are both wayyyyyy behind the Internet Age. Which is kind of important to a lot of memes.

And the difference is that everyone thinks it's funny. Everyone.

[ This is so funny to watch. And by the time she's able to reply he's already running off to confront Shiro. But when he gets back, he'll find a message from her. ]

Sorry for accidentally traumatizing you.

[ She's not actually that sorry. ]

[promiselisting]

[ They can't see it, but Futaba shakes her head. ]

For shame.

[ A lot of the weight of the scolding is lost because she's just completely losing her shit. ]

[promiselisting]

[ She doesn't have too much to add here, but she can't just let the moment pass by entirely uncommented. ]

Shiro the stealth memelord.

[ She can't believe it. Shiro might have just leveled up twice in one battle. ]

[promiselisting]

Only one way to find out!

[ See any ones that are familiar so far? ]

[witchwithoutacause]

Oh my god, Baiken can meme?!

clearly

[promiselisting]

Next is "T"!

[ And so it'll go, until Yotsuyu catches on or until Futaba has directed her to type the following:

'F U T A B A I S T H E U L T I M A T E M E M E L O R D' ]

[spaceforged]

Lance, you were memeing in the middle of battle. If I'd replied you'd have never have stopped.

[He closes one eye briefly at Lance's shrill tone. He's heard it before but ow.]

No matter how funny they were, we needed to focus.

text;

[promiselisting]

[ Eh, she's too lazy to switch back to voice. Besides. Easier to emote back like this. ]

Ahhhhhh yeah, I gotcha.

ೖ(⑅σ̑ᴗσ̑)ೖ

Here's one with glasses!

[promiselisting]

Apparently!

Do you know them, or something?

[ Futaba's talked to Baiken a couple times but... never at length, really. ]

[witchwithoutacause]

I mean, kinda? She just seemed like this surly drunk mentor type, too old and too salt of the earth to ever touch a meme.

[promiselisting]

Uh. Quick isn't really the name of the game when you're doing stuff like this. Just FYI

[ Also she still needs to like... eat and get clean and stuff. Also this is kind of hilarious. ]

video;

[promiselisting]

[ There's a moment of silence...

And then just the sound of golf clapping. Noctis you memelord. ]

[thegoofball]

If you can't focus while memeing that's not my problem!

[It's not!]

But! [He slams his hands down onto Shiro's shoulders and gives him a shake.]

Now I know. Now you can't pretend I'm not funny! You already admitted it!

[thegoofball]

[His reply comes much later, after things with Keith and Shiro have calmed down.

He's...almost a little embarrassed. Almost.]

It's not traumatizing, it's a betrayal/

[balancingedge]

[Well, RIP Shiro. Keith knew him well.]

Alright, while I'm glad we're all having fun at Lance's expense not realizing I'm the only one who didn't get his jokes... [He smirks, before sending Futaba a link to the post in question.] Kupoto shared a file of an old children's storybook on the Eidolons. You might want to take a look at it once you have a moment.

[acceptedlife]

[It's okay; Takeshi is also losing his shit. At least, until he gets bopped on the noggin.]

Ow-

If you're going to pose as an adult, you might as well act like one! Hmph!

Says the one who used little bat emogis to express displeasure at my studying habits. FeelsBadMan, doesn't it?

[warpstriking]

[He'd play-bow, but then he'd likely fall off the roof this time. That, and highly inappropriate. So instead he thumbs up.

Just wait a couple more days; she'll get to see just how much of a memelord he is. Until then, have a photo edit. He has to get back at his boyfriend somehow for Telling Cor, OK]

[promiselisting]

Eh, if that's the worst you gotta deal with, you'll probably live.

[ Again, not actually all that sorry. ]

[promiselisting]

Apparently not?

Then again I think we broke a few brains over at Shiro's place by proving that he knows memes.

[ Or rather one brain. Lance's specifically. ]
