Per Jin-gongzi's request, I've added Mike Enslin to the group chat. Welcome Mike!

And because my supervisor caught me texting on break, I've added him to the chat as well. Please say hello to my boss at Outreach Construction, Duty. ^^;

Thank you kindly for arranging this for us, shidi. And greetings, Mike-xiansheng.

Greetings to you, too.

[is there a way to make a bow in text gestures? is there an emote for that? if there is he doesn't know it. is it /bows or like < small bow > ::bow:: ??? should he have put that in his introduction? no, it's fine. animal photos bridge gaps.]



[but have a ...is this a bow? he tried.]

[he is so charmed by the sheer effort put into that message that he's almost mad about it! not really, he isn't mad at all, but he is laughing a little, and that hurts, ow.]

Mike-xiansheng should take pity on the pigeon and free her from her restraints.

[stayscared]

[the pigeon has been freed, this one is bold and has taken bread from his hands before - and has also shat on his shoe but that's more the exception than the rule.]

She's eaten them already. These pigeons eat better than the rest of us do.

That one's a she? How can you tell?

[he can't tell. was that a general assumed she or is jin just familiar with birds?]

Greetings. This is Lan Xichen.

Thank you Shen-gongzi for going through the trouble. Truly, this machine is remarkable and versatile.

And a fond hello to Mike Enslin and Duty. It is a pleasure to meet you both, even if not entirely in person.

[Does he politely bow to the screen? Yes. Is he aware that no one is actually going to see it? Also yes.]

Greetings Nie Huiasang, Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, and Mike Enslin,

You can also connect via your omen. Say, if you didn't want your supervisor to know you were texting.

[xiaoxiuya]

That's true and useful information for newcomers to have, but also wow boss, I'm really not allowed to keep any face today, am I? XD

[poorlittlesange]

[yeah jin guangyao is absolutely screencapping that exchange for posterity.]

[martyrofduty]

You're allowed to text on a break. It's a break.

[baiyueguang]

Shen-gongzi, you should respect your employer.

Surely there is a time and a place to do texting.

1/3

[baiyueguang]

I am sure Shen-gongzi meant no disrespect.

Though what you said sounds very useful. I shall see if Little Jewel is willing to try.

[baiyueguang]

She is not.

[martyrofduty]

Your omen is willful, as I suspect are you.

[fanfavors]

Hello, Duty-xiansheng. Is Shen-ge in trouble?

text: un: tenskulls

[stayscared]

I will keep this in mind if I end up with a supervisor.

[fanfavors]

[Hmm! Okay!

Huaisang sends a bird pic.

About twenty minutes later, he sends another.

And then quickly after, one of his own omen, which is, you guessed it: another bird!!!!

After a full thirty minutes, he types a whole almost non-bird thought:]

Two of these are pigeons, Shen-ge. Hello to everyone here from Huaisang.

[xiaoxiuya]

Is that your Omen? It looks like a strawberry, that's unreasonably cute ;.;

But yes, thank you for providing today's pigeon content, A-Sang. I knew I could count on you. ^_^

[fanfavors]

[Ah, A-sang... he can feel the adopted-as-baby-brother energies from here, and he is Pleased.]

She is, she is! My meimei is a finch, and as sweet as she looks. Shen-ge will meet her next time.

I'm looking for doves next, please let me know if you see any.

[he's familiar enough with group chat, though it's along the lines of aol chatrooms (he certainly did make a family chat room and this isn't hitting him in the feelings at all), his other points of reference are prodigy chat and regrettably myspace. how he's managed to figure out the omni at all owes a lot to forums, newsgroups and the era of geocities. (the omni is better and faster and less irritating than any of these by far)

he doesn't feel much like taking a selfie, he's not really much of a selfie person these days (read: years) so he'll read the room and see that birds are pretty well received. can't go wrong with a bird picture. these are the pigeons he's feeding. or are they doves? he doesn't know.]

Shen Yuan: Thanks for the add, and hello all. I'm familiar with the group chat, but it's been a while. Good to "meet" you all as well.



[bless this moment of normalcy, honestly.]

[baiyueguang]

Welcome, Mike-xiansheng. It is a pleasure to "meet" you as well. I am Lan Xichen.

A-Yao has spoken most highly of you.

[stayscared]

[well that's a very nice thing to hear, and one of the most surprising things. so many titles here. it's making him sweat a little. sure, he could just ask, and he probably will, but ...maybe he can figure it out? some of it? a-yao ...well, that could only be one person, because he doesn't know anyone else in this group. so that gets jotted down into the 'notes' of his omni. a-yao = jin.

resisting urge to crack joke about jin guangyao's judgment. god, it's so hard to take a compliment seriously. he should probably look into why that is. thankfully, none of this translates through text.]

I would speak the same way of him. And I'm probably going to.

A question before I embarrass myself (too late. amendment: embarrass myself further): what do you prefer to be called?

[xiaoxiuya]

Welcome Mike, it's nice to finally meet you ^_^ Any friend of Jin Guangyao is a friend of mine, and all that.

Hey, quick though admittedly weird question: you're American, right? Or English-speaking, at any rate?

[stayscared]

Yes, and all that.

Not a weird question. You'd really have to try to make it weird here. I'm both American and English-speaking. Why do you ask?

[how is this happening? any friend of

he

has he been adopted into a friend group

oh god

here come the tears

no wait these are different tears. he can stop these. if he is going to dehydrate he is going to do it with alcohol not tears. tears can come after alcohol]
