text. this is all just one big sin and i must go to confessional goodbye

Who: Jarvis and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A (unless you have an idea for something!!)
When: Now-ish. Before everything goes horribly later for us all.

Oh, I've finally figured this whole texting thing out; quite an incredible thing, electronic writing! ヽ(´▽`)/

I do miss the smell of fresh paper and the way ink settles on paper as you write, but I cannot deny this is positively enjoyable.

Look at what a young gentleman from the last waystation had shown me. They are all the craze in Japan, I've been told! o(^▽^)o

The idea is using symbols to create faces. (♥o♥)

A means of conveying emotion without relying solely on punctuation or italics or what have you. 

I feel so very old already, and I'm not even 40!! ⊙﹏⊙ I suppose I'll be very old myself when these things finally start to evolve.

ヾ(・ω・*)ノ Please tell me, from those in later years, what sort of changes to writing has happened since the 1940's? The progress is so very impressive.

If you will excuse me! I must complete my ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ daily gym visit, but I will reply ASAP.

As soon as possible, that is. :))))

Oh, please.

Is Howard really that difficult to read?

He does, doesn't he?

[ a beat. ]

Perhaps because he knows he has no chance. There's no risk in it.
mucked: (☂ they're getting closer)

-- Oh, stop it. Howard knows where he stands with me.

[ this is falling dangerously close to emotional territory. ]

Not everything needs spelling out.

[ stop it! jarvis! you're making her blush! ]

Just as well. We don't need him learning about these asinine faces you're using. Could you imagine?

[ winkies. winkies everywhere. ]

That's an entirely too delicate way of putting it, Mister Jarvis. Their comms would never stop bleeping.

How long, you think, before he'd get himself pushed out an airlock?

[ or, worse, jarvis. ]

Me? God, no.

But there's always someone.
