[Chris gives a small wave and smile as the video opens, looking a little tired but otherwise pleased with himself.]

Hey, everyone. Just uh, a quick announcement that the emergency alert app now works with the GPS. You'll have to redownload it, but all your settings and whatever should just carry over to the new version automatically.

[There's a file attached to the post to download, and Chris is quiet a moment before continuing.]

And just like, if anyone's curious, magic GPS is not the easiest thing even to work with. Also, those are totally not words I ever thought I'd say.

[But whatever. He goes a little more serious then, adding in a last comment--]

I um, hope everyone's doing okay after the event, too.

[And he gives a small wave goodbye, though he doesn't end the broadcast just yet. Instead, he switches on a filter.]

[Private to The Guard]

Hey um, I also updated the version of the program that you use for check-ins. Same deal as with the emergency app; it should just update all your settings and whatever automatically, but you'll have to redownload it.

[Hadriel's phones need an autoupdate feature.]

[He could say a lotta things in response to the latter point there, since that seemed the most salient, all things considered. Especially considerin' the way their last conversation went, huh?

But he's not really one for all that, so he doesn't much bother.]

thanks, buddo.
you're a real technical whiz, you know?
hope this makes confusion worth it.

[Even though Sans chooses to talk about the program instead of the event, that he responds at all is welcome and at least sort of an answer to the latter part. Besides, the compliment's definitely appreciated.]

Thanks. I'm hoping so, yeah; if not, Emily's never going to let me live down voting for her.

[Neither am I, he almost says. But he doesn't.]

i mean, hey, it's not ms. pacman.
entertainment is one thing, but i think survival takes priority.

Yeah, though now that this is all done and working I'm totally going to practice on Ms. Pacman. I have to beat Rhys; it's super important.

[And by super important he means not at all, of course, but still. They all need some distractions.]

everyone's making a fuss about the top score.

[And, until recently, he was laughin' right along with his roomies as they all went to town about beatin' each other. And, uh, now?

Well now, Lilith is gone and he don't much care what his former roommates do with their time. And it only took a few days for it all to go to hell. Then again, he'd know that it don't require much time at all.]

Hey, thanks! This is pretty nifty.

You did all the tech work on this?

Just so I'm clear, it's still not for trolling people?

Thanks, Chris. You're handy to have around.

Yeah. It's a nicer thing to be focusing on than a lot of other stuff, though.

[But losing Lilith really sucks, and he knows she was a big part of that trashtalking.]

Besides, newbies'll be showing up in a few days and soon we'll all be distracted again anyway.

No problem, and thanks.

Yeah, though I never would've figured it out if it weren't for Rhys making games I could look at the code for. Hope's OS is uh, not exactly what I'm used to coding-wise.

Still a no, Cashmere.

How're things with you, though?

Thanks. I'm just um, glad I can actually do something helpful here.

[Since he's not much of a fighter, marksmanship aside.]

You um, do okay with the zombies and the whole Confusion thing?

Well not great now that you won't let me have any fun.

I'm okay. It won't ever be easy here but all things considered. How are you?

fair enough.
rootin' for your buddies to show up.

[Seeing as it seemed better for 'em to be here than wherever it is they came from.]

Thats real handy thanks you made it all by yourself I don't think I could do anything like that

Thanks.

[He means that, despite his next comment--]

Of course if Josh and Ash showed up again we'd only be missing Jess, and if she came in too there'd be ten of us. We're gonna have to think about getting a second house.

[It's bad enough with seven people.]

It really does hurt me to prevent fun but I have to be at least sort of responsible.

About the same. Things went kind of crazy with the zombies and the Confusion thing but they could've been a lot worse.

Thanks. Yeah, I made it, though I wouldn't have been able to if Rhys hadn't figure out the operating system so he deserves credit there.

plenty of room, isn't there?
you got your four-bedroom complexes in delight's place and everything.

Yeah our current place is five rooms and it works out for the seven of us since there's one couple and one pair of sisters. Getting a second place somewhere would just be kind of weird since we'd have to figure out who divides up where and then be separated during events and whatever.

[Which, as much as Chris would really like to have his own space and less roommates, would be even more unsettling. The group being split in two and then separated during a crisis is less than ideal.]

Edited 2016-10-10 03:25 (UTC)

Now you've doomed us, talking like that

Oh come on, things would've gone worse anyway without me saying anything.

[Every time things aren't worse they get that way pretty quickly, after all.]

Yeah, you're right. At least this place is predictable that way. It always gets worse.

True.

Also I just realized that I said an event where I had to shoot some sort of mutant bear monster with bones sticking out of it 'could've been worse.' What is with our lives here, seriously.

harder to keep track of a big group, ain't it?

[It's a gripe he's startin' to relate to a bit more than he'd like.]
