Welcome to the Network! ;video

[ The camera opens onto a somewhat cluttered office. It didn't seem like it was cleaned often, if at all, with several cabinets only half closed, notices and sticky notes pinned about the wall, the window letting in the city lights from outside through shifted, broken blinds. The NSO building was a nice place, but some people had issues with tidyness. And Aya Hosada, the bespectacled woman smiling at the camera, was probably the worst case of it. Hey, she did used to be a programmer. She was used to this.

On her desk was her holokeyboard, a coffee thermos... three of them, actually, strewn papers, and several small, cute statues of anthropomorphized animals. This was basically home for her, though she supposed she could present it better. Ah well. ]


Greetings, everyone! If you're new around here, my name is Aya Hosada, Director of Personnel and Resident Liaison for the Neo Sapien Organization. And this is the Neo Sapien Network! It's a new feature we're going to be putting out from here on, programmed by yours truly~!

[ She's pretty proud of it, giving a wink at the camera before sipping her coffee. ]

Here's how it works; it's essentially a city-wide semi-private intranet. The NSO catalogs nothing, nor do we attach any software for tacking or conservation of data without user consent. It's basically the ultimate "safe" internet for people who don't particularly trust communications networks run by other companies. [ They knew the one she meant. ]

You can do test posts, voice posts, video posts, holo posts, you name it! Think of it like a social media service with, like, actual free speech. Try it out!

Let's see... [ Aya adjusts her glasses, taking another sip of her coffee and going over some other notes ]

Alright, a big special thanks to everyone who attended the fundraising gala. I know they can be a bit of a... hard pill to swallow, sometimes, but it's really important we keep up impressions! And look, Dr. Annan didn't get into a fist-fight this time with some rich heckler! Be sure to congratulate him when you see him next~! [ Aya giggled, winking again ]

Also, NSO efforts to restore power in the Parish were successful, and the shelter directors there send their regards. I won't name names, or call anyone out on a public post like this, but you know who you are when I say thank you, from the deepest place in my heart. You're the good we work for in this world, in action. Again, thank you...

... Although, I do fear I have to report that Yakashbah's stunt in Arcadia has lead to a lot of arrests and spiked security. Please be careful out there, okay?

[ Aya let out a heavy sigh, her expression drooping for a moment before picking up another sheet of pepper, pepping up once she saw what it was. ]

Oh! Also, the roommate assignments for this year are out, so be sure to check the roster postings at the nearest terminal to know who your new roomie is! The roommate program is Dr. Annan's way of helping us all socialize a little more, in an otherwise kinda hostile world, so hopefully you manage to make a new friend! Let's see, who did everyone get... [ She sips her coffee, going over the list until her eyes go wide and she spits out a bit of her drink, immediately reaching for a terminal beside her. ]

Um! Dr. Annan! This is Ms. Hosada, and I just saw the roommate roster, and I noticed my name was on it despite explicitly not volunteering [ said through her teeth ] Could you please explain?!

[ There was a long silence on the other end, leaving Aya looking progressively more nervous until Dr. Annan's familiar chuckled came through over the voice channel, before calmly saying...

"Your congratulations, Ms. Hosada, are graciously accepted. Thank you."

Aya's hand slowly drew back and she slumped in her desk some. ]


Oh boy... Welcome to the network, everyone.

[ Another dramatic sigh from Aya before she reached to shut the video off. ]

I have to ask. What kind of data? And what happens if you look in a mirror?
fibrillate: (Default)

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-14 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
mostly data on whether i think i could 1v1 them and win
if i look in a mirror it says that i could beat myself in any game i test for, so i think it's broken?
i'll have to run some more tests on this data that i'm definitely, for real collecting.
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-14 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, that makes perfect sense. If you threw down against yourself, you would definitely win, and also definitely lose!
fibrillate: (Default)

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
you're a GENIUS.
of course, it also says i'd lose against you, so maybe it does still need a little tweaking...
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-15 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Too perfect, I take it?
fibrillate: (Default)

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-15 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yep, that's what it is
it's too accurate
i need to introduce a margin of error to keep my ego in check
thezekeinator: (alarmingly happy)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-15 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I get it! If you always have an answer to whether or not you can succeed, you won't ever try to reach beyond what you believe is possible!

Levi, you're a sharp one indeed!

i want to say something, but that actually makes a lot of sense.
see, Zeke, i think this is why we get along so well -- we end up backing into some brilliant ideas together!
i'll get to work on updating the data that i'm definitely, actually collecting on people whenever i look at them.
thezekeinator: (cocky pose)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-15 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We're a dynamic team, Levi! Logic itself can't stand up to us when we're together!

[That is so true in so many ways Zeke didn't mean it.]

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-17 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
logic is for lesser beings!
and computers.
i'm not sure if those are lesser beings or just actual beings by now.
but the point is that logic is here and we are ready to defy it!
thezekeinator: (smirky smirk)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-17 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
The ones that talk back I'll give credit as beings. (I'm living with a robot now!)

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-17 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, for real? me too!
it's Jack-O, you know her
i feel weird about "just" calling her a robot, though...
thezekeinator: (objection!)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-17 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure she's got some meat in there somewhere. My new pal's all machine!
fibrillate: (Default)

[personal profile] fibrillate 2020-01-18 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
well, i'll have to be extra careful around them, then!
don't want to accidentally cause a complete system shutdown or fire off a massive EMP or anything like that
and i probably wouldn't have to ever do it on purpose!
thezekeinator: (thinky thoughts)

[personal profile] thezekeinator 2020-01-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I've got your back there!
