VIDEO: Un: Rinoa

[alittlelonger]

[Rinoa appears, narrowing her eyes at it, and then smiling when it appears to be working. She purposely fluffed her hair up and put herself together, since there was video involved. No judgment, she just liked to look nice.]

Hi everyone. [A wave.] I'm Rinoa, I'm still kind of new? But I was talking to Ashley awhile ago and we were talking about how dangerous it can be for people coming here. Because like, the bunker if someone wasn't there it could go wrong, it's cold outside so someone could freeze, and in either of those someone could come in injured or sick. So they might not even be able to get to safety! [She moves her hands a lot as she speaks.]

I know a lot of us do check those places sometimes, and I saw that there was like this organizational system about it? And a sign up sheet! So I thought hey you like doing this stuff, Rinoa, and here I am. Signing up to help out with the organizational system with the fountain and bunker! [She hopes this is useful.] So there's a sign-up sheet at the inn or you can just tell me. Make sure to bring a blanket if you can? Because it's going to be so cold. You can volunteer with a friend if you want company.

Also know that you can obviously go to any of these places whenever you want, you don't need to sign up, it's totally voluntary. [Her smile is bright.] Thank you! [Video off]

[ooc: note: This is just in case you feel like setting up a scene during your character's watch or having a character find another character while on one of their watches. Ignore this entirely or use it however you see fit, it's entirely voluntary both IC and OOC!]

Comments

[spoileralert]

And not passing notes under the desk, either.

[alittlelonger]

Exactly. If I'm writing a message where I have to start with "Dear ____" and end with "Sincerely Rinoa" it's not really my first choice.

[spoileralert]

Yeah, proper punctuation and capitalization is such a chore sometimes. Especially once you get to where you're typing really fast.

[alittlelonger]

There's that sweet spot medium before you get too much delved into Us and Ks for everything. My friend Selphie, I love her, but sometimes I don't know what to make of her messages. In person it's a lot easier.

[spoileralert]

Oh god, I know what you mean. And I'll give you one worse, people have started saying "LOL" and "BRB" in actual spoken conversation.

[alittlelonger]

I don't know LOL but I do know BRB! But abbreviations only make sense in this format, why would you say it in real life?

[spoileralert]

Yeah that's the terrible thing. "LOL" is "laughing out loud."

[ She rolls her eyes in exasperation at that. ]

People are weird, Rinoa. Really, really weird.

[alittlelonger]

Laugh out loud??? Like they're literally saying laugh instead of actually laughing.

[spoileralert]

[ Dramatically serious: ]

It's true. We live in dark times.

[alittlelonger]

[Actual facepalm.]

Okay they might need to have it taken away from them until they remember how to people again.

[spoileralert]

Honestly? They need a time out. For like, a week.

[alittlelonger]

Agreed! My friend Selphie is someone who might talk like that, but she laughs so much I can't see her saying LOL instead.

[spoileralert]

I can't really see anyone saying it, and I've heard it in the hallways at school.

[alittlelonger]

L O L.

R O F L.

[ She snorts a laugh. ]

O M G, S T F U.

[alittlelonger]

I'm glad to learn these but I don't think my friends are going to appreciate it.

[spoileralert]

[ She snorts a laugh. ]

Pretty sure they're not supposed to.
