text / audio | un: newt
Alright, let's not be total wallflowers at prom here, if we're going to be stuck together for the foreseeable future, I think it's only right that we (read: I) start getting to know all of my fellow space cadets. If we're ACTUALLY in space and this isn't some humongous simulation. You guys saw how easy it was for this place to manufacture a hyper-realistic simulation earlier, right? Yikes, big yikes.
But if we ARE in space and we're going to be traveling around, that's actually kind of AWESOME.
No offense to anyone who didn't want to actually be here of course, but you're nuts if you're not a LITTLE curious about the vast expanse of outer space. C'mon. OUTER SPACE! How incredible is that? And here I thought me coming face to face with aliens back home was INCREDIBLE, now we've got ACTUAL OUTER SPACE??? Pinch me I'm in a simulation. LOL.
Sorry I'm rambling, my name's Newt. Dr. Newton Geiszler, but but that sounds so much more boring and overcomplicated than 'Newt', so just stick with that. Worked as a xenobiologist on earth (is there multiple earths or what??? a lot of you are crazy unfamiliar with Kaiju, which is wild to me), helped giant robots fight aliens, the usual. Likes are rock music, playing instruments, tattoos, science and tech, dislikes are bossy pushovers who complain about those things.
Speaking of which, my really good pal from home's name is Hermann Gottlieb, and you should call him Herm to make him REALLY feel at home. :)
It's nice to meet you guys on the NEWTwork. ;P
... Actually—
[Suddenly, the text turns into audio, in which a higher voice with some focal fry bleeds in-]
—can I just abruptly switch to an audio function?
[A pause, and then an excitable:]
Holy shit, how awesome is that?! This is amazing; we've made some pretty monumental gains in technology back home, but we're still working on finessing the finer aspects of neuralogically connecting to networks like these for the general population. I'd love to take one of these apart sometime and see what makes them tick. Good to have an idea of what to expect, in case we need modifications or repairs done at any point.
Anyway. Uh. Hey!
... This whole voices-in-your-head thing can't be good for my train of thought, but geronimo, right?
[If anyone listens beyond that, they may catch the accidental thought-to-audio that follows:]
Wha — oh, dammit.
I sure hope this is the last nosebleed, because I would rather not worry about having accidental brain damage from drifting with aliens.

You've just become my new favorite person!!
Let's absolutely try this out! I'm so excited to see how it reacts with a physical phone!
I mean I'll cry if it gets fried but it's TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK
OH, OH, CAN YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A CONCERT IN THE SIMULATION???
Can you play the music on SURROUND SOUND from my phone??????
[moNIKA whatT HAVE YOU d o NE]
no subject
Ahaha, well if you're free now, I can go meet you at the simulation room and try. No promise though! While in theory it should work, my ability to manipulate the code isn't as good here as it was in my own simulated reality.
no subject
But I can meet you there, yeah!!! Right now??

[ If Newt does come to the simulation room, he will find something that looks like... An 80s cafe? Monika didn't choose, it's totally random. Speaking of which, she is there. Between the stupidly long hair and pseudo-Japanese high school uniform, she stands out quite a bit amongst the people simulated by the room. She's about as far removed from the 80s aesthetic as possible.
That and she's staring into nothing very intently. As if lost in thought, maybe? But she also looks very focused, and for good reason. There is something that looks like a mass of big and colorful pixels in her right hand. And after a few seconds, it solidifies into a charger. Immediately she loses her focus and brings the charger to eye level. ]
Gosh, I didn't miss doing that one bit...
no subject
Monika, right? I'm Newt! What're you up to over here?
[Spoken like a teacher grading a science presentation at one of those science fairs, with genuine need to hear this all explained aloud.]
no subject
[ She smiles sweetly at him. Seeing how she is 5'3", that means there is at least one person in this space station that will always be shorter than him. Perhaps that's a small comfort? ]
I was putting code together to make this. [She hands the charger over to him.] I'm not very good at messing with stuff... And it's harder here than it was back home. So I looked for fitting lines of codes here and there and basically recycled them, ahaha!
[ Oh right, he can't see what it is she is doing. She raises a finger and something akin to a paper-thin and transparent grey screen appears next to Monika. It has lines of codes that would probably meant nothing to him, except for the mention of "energy regulation." ]
It's ready for use, no need to find a socket. I'll be monitoring the energy levels, so it should be safe for you to charge it.
no subject
He carefully collects the charger, still just as alarmed by how real it feels as the first time he'd been in this simulation room.]
That's so cool. Okay — here goes nothing!
[With bated breath, we wait until the phone turns on...!
When it does, the lock screen illustration appears-]
no subject
She looks very focused as he takes the charger and tries it on— Of course, she needs to be careful and regulate the energy levels, but... ]
Yay, it works!
[ And if it works for his phone, then it probably works for whatever piece of technology anyone else got that needs recharging. ]
It may take a little bit for the battery to be full, but that's our energy problems solved I think.
[ Goodbye, everyone's eardrums. ]
no subject
Awesome! Monika, you're the best. Hell yeah...! [He looks around, a bit more bright-eyed now that his phone has fully returned to him (their generation, man, you know how it is; they love their phones).] Heeey, you think you could play this over the cafe speakers? I mean, coming from a phone is cool, too, but that'd really be a nice ambience.
