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. ]

Wait, if Dr. Annan didn't get in a fight, and I didn't get in a fight, did we really get through that whole party without punching anyone?

[She's on video entirely so she can roll her eyes for emphasis.]

I don't know if I'm proud or disappointed.

well, i trust this more than i trust anything else, so let me just leave this message for everyone to see:

for the last time, if you're trying to find out if i have something, just be direct. don't give me euphemisms or epithets, just tell me what the fuck it is. i'm the guy who digs around in other people's garbage looking for it, what do i care what you're getting? what high ground does the lord of the trash have?

none. i have none.

if you're too embarrassed by whatever it is you're looking for, find a proxy who doesn't give a shit.

This explains why you wanted to see dad's tablet last week.

[That was to make sure it was properly set up for all of this stuff, probably. ...and then the tablet was returned to her instead of taken to HQ or put away with the rest of Dorian's other stuff, so it appears that Mirys is expected to make use of it—and this new network—now.

Good thing she's more-comfortable with online interactions than she is with in-person ones.]

Calling yourself a lord isn't very pious, you know.

[personal profile] ashencoyote 2020-01-13 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
i do a lot of other stuff that isn't exactly pious, either. i'm not a priest, i'm just a lamp lighter.

anyway, what do you know of piety?

I've read multiple translations of the Holy Bible, out of curiosity.

my favorite is the extreme teen bible!

hello everyone!
my name's leviathan, you can call me levi, and i've been with NSO for... 25%? of my life now. something like that.
i know i'm absolutely not one of the older guard here, but if there are any new people around on the network, or faces i haven't had the chance to see yet, don't be afraid to say hi!
and if you only just joined up, welcome to the best organization you'll probably ever be a part of.

jack-o, i know we're rooming, so i'll do my best not to disrupt anything for you, okay?
let me know if it's a problem as soon as you know.
gimmecandy: (be sure to wear some flowers in your hai)

[personal profile] gimmecandy 2020-01-13 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
the candy stash is free reign for roomies!

But please do be courteous and not take too much.

hey, you know what this means?
this means you get to teach me how to play puyo like a master.

next time i'll be sure to stop chatting up our favorite great dane so she can make it a real party.
does that sound like a deal?
fonewearl: (uncertain)

[personal profile] fonewearl 2020-01-13 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it. Don't want distractions, don't want to run the risk of someone trying to go and screw things up for you after they hear about it, all of that.

You know me, though, if you told me about it back then I would have just been "eh /shrug" and then just forget about it for the whole week. Totally get why you'd wanna do it, though.


[The daughter of the late Dr. Hargrave prefers keeping to herself quite a bit, so she's right, her response to learning what Aya was doing before it was all finished wouldn't have been anything particularly enthusiastic. Understanding the intent, however, would have been a given either way.]

Hello NSO members!

I've had my staff going over this network and as far as we can tell, this network actually is as secure as Ms. Hosada claims it is.

I'm not going to lie, I am quite pleased about getting in with this organization. Their fight-- YOUR fight -- lines up all too well with my own, and their resources far outstrip Tesladyne's.

Speaking of which, for anyone with a background in the sciences, Tesladyne is hiring, AND we offer internships! If you have projects that other people have laughed at for being too unfeasible, we may be able to help you as well.

Sorry, I won't go into a whole sales pitch in here, but you can contact me privately if you want to learn more.

Sincerely,
Atomic Robo

PS: Zeke, feel free to claim as much of the space as you like. I probably won't actually be in our room much at all, as I don't eat or sleep and have my own office in the Middle Ward.


[People call Atomic Robo "old man" sometimes. One of the reasons is that he writes his texts like he was writing a letter.]
fonewearl: (blank stare)

[personal profile] fonewearl 2020-01-13 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Aya, it is REALLY HARD to imagine you actually procrastinating.

No offense.
[Would that even be taken as one? Could it be taken as one? ... Is Mirys implying that Aya's something of a workaholic?]

I punched a lot of people in my mind. Does that count?

I would be interested in testing the limits of my talent, and continuing our previous discussion, more frankly.

As secure as this is, I was wondering if there would be a preferred location for us to meet?

[She appears to be livestreaming from a table in Arcadia, her fennec tail wagging. She's also dressed appropriately.]

Heyhey, Jessica Michaels here. I rent a table here in Arcadia every week to run a little dungeoncrawl, a little Galaxy's Fate, some indie hippie stuff. I'm looking for some new players for my ongoing campaign in the Six Crowns campaign setting.

Read, a hell of a lot like The Hobbit except it's you guys instead of 10 dwarves, a wizard and a larcenous potato.

Anyone interested?

Proud. Definitely proud.

Neither of us punched first. That's a victory against the Zaibatsu.
