[Part of Chris thinks he should've made this post awhile ago, and part of him still doesn't want to. But it's a compromise to do it now, and it's probably the best time for it anyway; the last event is over, and new people haven't arrived yet. It's the calm before the whatever, storm or otherwise.

But he's going with text because even though it's been a little while, he doesn't want to try to say the first part of this post in anything other than text.]

Hey everyone. So I guess I'll start off with the bad news: anyone who were friends with Ashley or Josh should know they aren't here anymore. Also, I'm going to add that if Josh owed you money or favors or whatever else, you're totally out of luck because I'm not honoring them no matter what he might've told you.

[Jokes make this not heartbreaking, right? Definitely.]

Though I guess this is also a good time to mention that if you're working on anything important or even just keeping general notes or something, you might want to consider sending them to a friend every so often. If whatever it is is just on your phone when you disappear, it's pretty much as gone as you are.

So yeah. Back up your data and all that. Even if you don't want to send an electronic copy to someone, at least keep paper notes or something.

[Semi-relatedly...]

If anyone needs help with how to send files or whatever, just let me know. And I'm finishing a program for something else right now, but then I guess I'm taking requests? If there's something you'd like a program on your phone for, I can see if I can figure out how to do it. It's not like I have a whole lot else better to be doing, so feel free and ask even though I can't totally promise I'll be able to do it.

[But still, please ask. Please give him something to do other than miss his friends.]

And okay, last thing I swear, and it's the good part. For everyone who's new here and doesn't know, we have pretty awesome coffee at the bar thanks to Delight. Usually either Emily or I are there to make it, but if we're not just send one of us a message; it's part of the deal with Delight about the coffee to make it, so you're not bothering us or whatever.

So yeah, you might be stuck in a shitty cave, but at least there's coffee. That's something, right?

I didn't know them but that is unfortunate. [Like usual he's barely on screen. The phone was merely propped against something. Someone should really teach him how activate audio only or text. He usually just uses the first thing that pops up when he hits a button.]

I'm told there are a lot of things capable on this thing. I for one could use a lesson.

[Well, if Tyki is actually asking for a lesson, then--]

Yeah, there's a lot they can do that's really useful. Like um, you're using video, but you could also broadcast in text or voice if you want since aiming the camera can be a little uh... Tricky.

[Even when you're used to doing it, which Tyki seems not to be.]

[He is. He likes Chris.]

I believe I've done it on accident once or twice. It seems to acknowledge the use of video more than anything else. [Or at least he thinks he's been on video. Sometimes he'll just start talking without looking at it at all.]
