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. ]

[He doesn't bother to say anything, he just...

Turns on the video feed.

And dabs.]

[ There is. One second of ringing silence at that performance

and then Futaba erupts into ugly, braying laughter.

Oh my god Lance you are the absolute best you're her new favorite but oh my god give her a minute. ]

[balancingedge]

I'd say "ask Lance", but I think he's already covered that.

Glad to hear you're up again.

[promiselisting]

He- yeah, he really did.

[ There’s still hints of laughter in her voice. ]

Glad you guys got my message.

[ She... honestly barely remembers making it. Just that she didn’t want people to worry and Ren gently prodding her to eat and drink occasionally, just like Sojiro would have. She needed to thank him for that at some point. ]

This. This is a work of art.

[Here's another member of the "what's a meme" crew.]

Who's the lady on the left supposed to be?

[acceptedlife]

[There's a picture of Moglina holding up a sign and looking rather perturbed.]

I LEAVE POST-IT NOTES OF EMOGIS ON GIANT MECHANICAL ROBOTS AND OTHER VARIOUS PLACES THAT'S WAY TOO HIGH FOR ANYONE NOT A NINJA OR DRAGOON TO REACH
(And expect the owners to reach them)

[promiselisting]

[ Oh my god a Moogleshaming sign. Poor Moglina is just gonna get a shit-eating grin. ]

So do you actually do that?

[spaceforged]

Science, huh? Are you sure- [He lifts his hands up and with a kind of half grin on his face says.]

'Aliens'

will actually know about memes? [He drops his hands and shrugs.] Though technically we're all aliens here. So, anyway, welcome back.

[video, but also in person (for Shiro)]

[balancingedge]

[...

Keith turns, and stares at Shiro.

Then squints slightly.]

...What? [Seriously, what the hell, Shiro?]

-Memes aren't... really her thing. But if there's one thing her time with Anji and Chipp taught her, it was this. And even if she had to do all this one handed, she figured, hey, it was worth it for a friend of Hunk's.-

[ ey she's always down for text ]

Not bad ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Looks a little different from the ones I'm used to though. Is that like an eyepatch?

Hey, Ivory. Hold this.

Huh? What are you...?

[Ivory does so, just as he positions it in her hand. Then he backs up all the way onto the other side of the roof, after which he starts quickly heading back. Halfway through, he distressed dabs, and then runs off-camera.]

Thanks, Ivory.

[aaaand taking the device back.]

[promiselisting]

Pfff-

[ Y'all are treasures. She's so glad she made this post it's the best thing she's ever done here. ]

You doing okay over there?

[ Seriously don't fall off the roof that'd suck ]

Weh? So, I don't get it! I seen the replies here.. and they're just so confusing! Hope you got your answer!

[promiselisting]

Iiit's a work in progress.

[ Her question was pretty open-ended, after all. ]

I'm guessing you're probably another one of our pre-internet guys, huh?

[witchwithoutacause]

So how many people have dabbed so far?

[promiselisting]

Two and counting!

[ SHE IS SO HAPPY AMANDA, LOOK AT ALL THESE FELLOW SHITPOSTERS. ]

voice!

[tsukinohiganbana]

And what, pray tell, is a meme? Why is it something you'd assume we'd have?

voice!

[promiselisting]

[ Oh hey she remembers your username. Somehow though she doesn't think you're gonna be the type to actually... really get these.

Must resist urge to troll. Must resist urge to troll- ]

Basically. Just. Think of them as a really particular kind of dumb joke.

And as for why.... [ She her grin broadens ] 'Press F to pay respects'

[ You know, the one Ren had on his text post last week. ]

[masqueraid]

Have to admit, a lot of them gave it a good try.

[promiselisting]

It's been the best thing to wake up to, ever.

[ Really. Really really. Although curry could probably improve that.

Also yes they're probably texting while standing right next to each other, the nerds. ]
