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. :))))

[NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN. It got Jarvis now.]

No. Absolutely not. Stop that.

Absolutely not to your absolutely not!

You're being quite a scrooge, Mr. Fenris. I shall use them on paper, too.

How do you know what symbols to use??
Is there a guide??

[Oh, look at this man from the past deal learn to technology. How cute is this.]

Have you heard about voice-to-text? What about electronic paper?

There is not... it's been quite an ordeal of trial and error.

I can happily show you what I know, however!!!

Or you can do the Americanized emoticons. They're sideways, though. Quite a bit more ambiguous to the eye.

:)

>:(

:o

Oh yes!! I have learned the voice-to-text!

Very handy when I compose my list for the shops on stations or planets.

Electronic paper, though? That seems like such a paradox.

I like the ones on their sides. They involve much less creative energy.
:D
Do you know lol Mr Jarvis??

There are apps made specifically to write up lists, too, if that's something you do a lot.

It's a screen that imitates books. Or newspapers. The display reflects light like paper, which makes it easier on the eyes to read for a long time. It uses "electronic ink". They're usually used on small reader tablets, just to read books and documents. All your library in just your hand.

I'm afraid I must fathom a guess.

Little old ladies?

Incredible. It's very strange to even imagine a computer fitting in a room, let alone in one hand. And a library!!

You must all save so much room.

A good and reasonable guess but no. It means laughing out loud.
Jade says that usually no one is literally laughing out loud when they use it.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Oh my word, is that a table.

I would never! I'm likely the one setting it.

┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

is that better?

I see. Hyperbolic, as it were!

Perhaps it should stand for something that isn't laughing. Hmm.

Lightheartness Octupled Lovingly.

（´-`）.｡oO（ ... Not quite so catchy, though. ）

Excellent, and just in time for tea!

( ˘▽˘)っ旦 ┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[lol means league of losers in this post, obviously]

They are ridiculous, Jarvis. Why do you even need to make a dog in a monocle? What purpose does that even have?

[At least it isn't three-mouth. He can be glad for that. ]

If I find them on any of my paperwork, I am going to burn them.

( ´﹀` )

What kind of tea?

No need to imagine. You're texting us through a computer. And it has files uploaded if you want to read. :)

…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ

IWLOLBIWLCDS = I would laugh out loud but I would look crazy doing so
even less catchy.
._.

STOP

Is that a cute little rodent?

So creative! I'm impressed.

Miss Opal, you've quite outdone your nay-saying! ☆=(ゝω･)/

I would be concerned if you did not show up to voice your disapproval in some way.

DON'T YOU ☆=(ゝω･)/ AT ME EVER AGAIN

i won't stand for this filth
