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. ]

An' what's any of it te do with ships? I don't see how a joke is like te make one go any faster, unless the force of everyone laughin' does the trick.

[ someone save her ]

Gimmie a break guys how far back am I going to have to start for this?

[ Might as well go for frigging broke though. ]

Though I guess shipping is when you look at two people who are really obvious and wonder when they're both going to figure it out.

...What?!

/tries to save you all from further embarrassment

[warpstriking]

...It's short for relationship.

[daggercubed]

Oh... huh.

2/2

[daggercubed]

I think relationing sounds better.

[shipping, giving people shit, it's all the same]

it's only embarrassing if you feel shame

[promiselisting]

Relationing doesn't have like... all the different puns though. Like if they finally figure it out then you can say that the ship has set sail. If someone's telling you why two people shouldn't be together, you can tell 'em to stop blowing holes in your ship.

[ someone please call this girl out as the one who normally hates puns. ]

[littlemhigan]

...I...I almost understand. S' probably the strangest thing te hear all month but it makes some sense....

But I still don't think ye've explained how 'memes' an' 'ships' are meant te work togther...? Unless...Do ye use 'memes' te make a joke about some poor fool wrapped up in a 'ship'?

[daggercubed]

Huh. Guess you got a point.

What Castie says makes sense though, yeah?

[promiselisting]

Yeah. I mean do you want me to give you guys a serious answer?

[ Because she can, but that wouldn't exactly be fun. ]
