004 [Text] | Late 4/8

[thechoiceisyours]

[Hopefully everyone has recovered from their hangovers and energy drink comas by now, but if not he's using text to be courteous. Also because it's really late, and because this message works better in text anyway.]

So this isn't exactly a huge important development or whatever, but if your usual texting back home involved emojis I'm sure you'll be ecstatic to know that you can send them here now, too.

[There's a link to install a small program on the phones, which enables a smiling face, a scowling face, and a hand giving the finger.]

Options are kind of limited to happy, unhappy, and pissed off, but never fear. Any additional emoji requests can be submitted to Emily, who I'm sure will totally love fulfilling them for you since she's the master artist here; I just do the scripting. Definitely request as many inane emojis as you could possibly want. Make sure to ask her every time you talk to her if they're done yet, too.

[Sorry Emily. Harmless revenge is sweet.]

So yeah. Have fun.

[SIGH]

It's slang. Someone who's salty is angry or bitter or whatever, usually about something specific.

I meant it as a joke, just to be clear

[Since when explained it probably sounds a little more judgmental than it was meant.]
