[Anyone who's talked to Krieg at any length might have a fairly good idea as to why the message comes out the way it does. For anyone else, it has the look of someone who more or less bashed their head against a keyboard, an assessment that would not be far from the truth.]

[Someone's apparently forgotten how to make emojis, much to his chagrin.]

[ ...is she crazy to think that his button mashing has improved? ]

Hey there. :)

A frown face looks like this.

:(

Why do you need to know how to do that? Are you upset?

[fleshing]

[Give him a moment now. Aaaaand...]

[watashinonamaewa]

That's good. I'm glad you're not upset.

[ ... ]

[fleshing]

SMIL EY MAN

[That's a new word. It takes him some time to punch out that one.]

[watashinonamaewa]

[ A new word and without capitals or misspelling? What?? She is legit proud of him. ]

Good job with that word. :D

I don't think I know the smiley man. Is he a friend?

[fleshing]

[watashinonamaewa]

Glass eyes?

[ Did his mean glasses? ...oh, wait. She got it. She knows now. ]

You mean the kid who made the emoji pack, right? I don't know his name. I'm glad he taught you though!

I'm sorry, I think something got mixed up with this message. Could you repeat it?

[liquid_serpent]

Hello, Krieg. A good question regarding our devices. Perhaps this?

Here, bro.

[Have a frowny face, and also a short and quickly put together set of instructions on how to access the emojis. He probably should've included that in the first place now that he thinks about it, so really this all works out for the best.]

[tongueamok]

[That makes even less sense, somehow.]

You mean the ones we're born with?

bu t whO PUTS SHTEM in the tiNNHY SCREEN???????

[tongueamok]

[Carlisle would help, but he's technologically inept. Be proud he can even text.]

Perhaps you should simply try using your own face. These communicators do have a way of carrying images from one place to another.

[liquid_serpent]

Who put them there? Hm, hard to say. I would hazard a guess and say our delightful gods.

[So....Krieg took that advice literally.]

BEtter??????

[fleshing]

:-(

[Aha! There we go.]

[text] → [video]

[tongueamok]

No, actually.

[You know what? He's just going to call Krieg and see if he can't get this cleared up. Ring ring.]

Right, this might work better. Now what is it you're looking for, again?

[video]

[fleshing]

[!!!!! They're doing video now! Krieg leans forward so the first shot Carlisle gets will be of a single bloodshot eye glaring directly into the lens, leaning far too close.

Then he pulls back, and the view is...marginally better. If you consider a shirtless, unhinged, masked guy "better".]

WHO PUT THE TINY FACES IN OUR LITTLE LITTLE SCREENS?

[And no indoor voice!]

[video]

[tongueamok]

[Desth, another person who can't be bothered to put on a shirt. Why is it OH WOW THAT WAS REALLY LOUD. Carlisle winces as he holds the communicator at arm's length, sure he might have just lost some hearing.]

There's no need to yell, lad. I can hear you just fine.
