Attention: Hadriel Residents
Subject: Additional Phone Applications

Please find attached two additional applications for the phones:

[1] Clock. I have spent the last 26 days timing the light intensify and de-intensify periods. Despite the imprecision of my tools (and the impediment of the fog for that period), I am 92.58% confident that the current settings are accurate. I observed 17 hours of light, 7 of dark. The light intensifies and de-intensifies at apparently the same time each day. The days are not getting longer or shorter, which is perhaps unsurprising, given the light does not imitate the movements of the/a sun. As such, I have set the clock such that light intensify ('sunrise') begins at 04:30 and light de-intensify ('sunset') begins at 21:30. I will continue to monitor and make updates as necessary.
Other features: Timer, Stopwatch, Alarm.

[2] Pedometer. The hardware of these phones contains composite sensors enabling step detection and counting, as reliant on the accelerometer. This 'app' when active will do as its title suggests: count your steps. It will also calculate distance traveled. That feature has been less accurate in testing, but suffices for an approximation. You may reset and/or save a record of both as you like. If you download the clock, it will reset each day at 00:00 and keep a record of the previous day's activity, with the number of days stored theoretically limitless.

Both applications permit user choice between constant background service and activity on selection alone. Obviously I recommend the former for the clock in particular, but it will sync via the network upon opening should you choose the latter and close then open it.

Final notes: If you have no use for either or both, then do not download them. There is no need to comment to that effect.

Admittedly, the daily reset and recording of steps and distance may be especially frivolous. I doubt any of you are on a fitness track. I added it because such applications tend to have that feature and for organization's sake. You may also turn that off. If for whatever daft reason you want that, but not the clock, too bad. I could do it, but at that point, you might as well download the clock.

Please do comment if you have any serious suggestions.

I have a question. If my boyfriend obsessively keeps track of time for me, do I really need these apps?

[of course he already has them. He's just being a little shit.]

There must be a way to delete voice comments. Delete yours.

Why would I do that? It's a very serious question that I really do need an answer to. See, my boyfriend has this thing about numbers. He's really, really into them. So me keeping track of them is kinda superfluous, y'know?

[verinumeri]

A friend who is a boy.

[verinumeri]

I apologize. While that is true, it is also not the meaning we were using.

It is also a term to refer to one's male romantic partner.

[whichend]

I see. Thank you for saying so, before I accidentally told you that I had a lot of boyfriends. That would be a lie, since romance is generally stupid.

But does that mean that you and Newt sing to each other and brush each other's hair and all those other love things?

[oh my god best day ever]

Well, I did have a band, once. Though I can brush my own hair.

[SORRY NEWT'S JUST GOING TO BE DISSOLVING INTO LAUGHTER and once that's over, he's calling back to Hermann, so also kinda distant]

But süße, don't you want me to brush your hair and sing you songs?!

voice just for newt

[whichend]

For true? I travelled with a singer once, but he was nothing like you.

I don't think you are especially good at brushing your hair. But that's no matter. Neither am I. I think it's just best to skip it altogether.

That would have been shocking. Yes, romance is generally stupid.

No. Newton has a horrible singing voice and I do not try. I don't know what you mean by 'other love things', but probably not.

[whichend]

I could get a boyfriend if I wanted. It's not that shocking. I've just chosen not to because boys are dumb.

Well I suppose Newt could save you from a tower but I think that only happens in bad stories. If there were dragons it might be better. Perhaps your romance needs some dragons.

voice i'm so sorry this hopping around is just going to keep happening

[fortunefavored]

I'm pretty sure everything is made about a bajillion times more awesome with dragons.

[verinumeri]

I may be projecting my world's standards, especially the traditional sort, onto your world. It's your decision, then. I do agree that most young boys are particularly unbearable.

[ It would shock no one that he'd had a difficult social time as a child.

He's not offended by the suggestion that he's the damsel in distress, specifically. He's scandalized by the entire analogy. ]

We would be completely ridiculous with dragons. No, the only thing our romance needs is to be kept private.

bless you also THIS IS NOT HERE
