I really don't see the point of using this ridiculous contraption, but since the baby is asleep and my flatmate is hopefully unconscious, I decided I may as well acquaint myself with the communication system.

I don't really socialize much with the rest of the community.

So, hello. My name is Elizabeth Turner.

Hello.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

Hello. You are...?

[twelfthletter.livejournal.com]

L.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

L? Really? Is that it?

[twelfthletter.livejournal.com]

Correct, just L.

And I thought pirates were simplistic in our naming practises.

Hello. Even if you are wary of this communication system, I'm glad to see you taking part in its existence.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly wary of it, I just think it's ridiculous.

[willreign.livejournal.com]

And why's that?

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

People have managed to communicate with one another for hundreds of years, either by letter or in person. This seems to eliminate the need for both, and it's incredibly impersonal.

I see, why use these when you can do that, or even call someone on the phone? I'm from the generation that put increased importance on these. I guess you can blame us for this.

It's technological advancement, I suppose. I'm from well over three-hundred years ago, so this is jumping extremes, for me. I have had time to adjust, but I still find it absurd that people would rather listen to portable music than listen to the sound around them.

Faster than flag signals, at least.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

You're familiar with flag signals?

[captnkennit.livejournal.com]

Don't sound so shocked, Miss Elizabeth Turner.

It's really not so bad once you get used to it. It's really nice talking to people. Sometimes even people from different worlds are in the same situation you are! Haha... um.. ^_^;

I'm Natsume Aya, it's a pleasure to meet you, Elizabeth-san. Ah, that's a pretty name.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm sure my father would be very pleased to hear it complimented.

Natsume Aya. That's Japanese, isn't it?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. It's a very old name.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

It's quite lovely.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[lavernius.livejournal.com]

What's up, Elizabeth?!

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

We live together, you don't have to talk to me over the computer, Lavernius.

[lavernius.livejournal.com]

Dude my mom is the only other person that calls me Lavernius.

[notdistressed.livejournal.com]

You might be better off considering your mother and myself in the same position, then.
