[ Why yes - she is on the network again already! This time, it's just text. ]

If anyone with a communications augment wants something to do, I have a request. Send me a message and I'll tell you about it.

[ Yep that's it. :|b Someone does not know how to win friends and/or influence people. Clearly. Doesn't care, either. ]

That depends upon the favor being asked.

[ Fine, play hard to get. He can, too. ]

[fallbythesword]

This isn't one of those things where you'll have to agree to do it before I'll tell you what it is. I'm not that cliché.

[ ... Eh, why not drag it out a little longer? Might be amusing~ ]

[fantachetic]

Marvelous. You've no idea the amount of cliche I have to put up with. Far more than necessary.

Nor am I one to agree before knowing the details. Common sense, really.

[fallbythesword]

I'm sure it's even worse in this place. You must be suffering.

[ Har har. ... But she goes ahead and continues the message in PRIVATE ]

I've been manually changing my display name for every single thing I do on this network. I want a way to change it permanently.

[fantachetic]

You've no idea. It's dreadful, despite the view.

I'm still rather new to this communications business, but perhaps with a bit of experimentation and a little more knowledge.. it's possible. Is there a particular reason you've been changing it?

[fallbythesword]

I can try to assist as an engineer. One would think an engineer could help with something like this, but these stupid augments defy logic a lot of the time.

And yes, there is a particular reason.

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[fantachetic]

Most things defy logic in this place.

..The suspense is killing me.

I'll sing something nice at your funeral.

[servantnotserving]

I have that augment. What request do you have?

Voice

[fallbythesword]

Just something this stupid augment won't let me do myself.

[ aaand she's gonna continue this in PRIVATE, thanks ]

I want a way to change my name in this system - permanently. So far, I have to do it manually every time I do anything. It's annoying.

Voice - private foreverrr

[servantnotserving]

Well, the frequency number your communicator is attached to will always be the same, we cannot change that. But the name might work. Of course, you have to remember that Atroma do like playing with things. If they decide to turn it off at a crucial moment, they have the power to do that.

[It's so helpful having this information implanted in his brain, thanks Atroma. He never needed this. ]

and ever and ever~

[fallbythesword]

I'm fine with the frequency number staying the same. I just want to use a different name. As for Atroma continuing to meddle... That happens that often? Annoying. I guess I'll have to deal with it when it happens.

[ Thanks Atroma! So great! ]

[servantnotserving]

I suppose it depends on their mood. Knowing them, they would probably change it at the least opportune time for you. Such as when you absolutely don't want someone to know it's you.

[fallbythesword]

Typical. [ Huff. ] Oh well. Whatever. A name change is still preferable in the long run. I don't want to have to keep changing it every single time I use this thing.

[servantnotserving]

Well, I can do that much for you, mademoiselle! What name would you like to have?

[fallbythesword]

"Jacqli" is fine. It's what I've been changing it to since this whole thing started, and I haven't thought of a better alias yet. I didn't think this would be possible so soon.

[ there is VERY CLEAR HESITATION HERE... and then a short, resigned sigh. ]

The real name you're looking for in the contact list is Mir. That's me - the name I want changed.

[servantnotserving]

[He notices the hesitation, at least. There's the sound of typing keys- or at least almost typing. It's a lot trickier to do when you don't have any actual fingers. After a short time, he lets out a victorious AH-HAH! ]

There you are, mademoiselle It is all changed. Should Atroma play around with it, let me know, and I can easily fix it. Hopefully they will not be so reckless with your privacy, hmm?

[fallbythesword]

[ That is indeed some very odd-sounding typing... but she doesn't really think much of it. Once it's done, she looks for herself, and is pretty damn relieved, honestly. ]

One can hope, yes. [ She won't hold her breath. Hasn't even been here a month and she already dislikes them~ ] ... Thank you for your help. I don't have many credits yet, but I can pay you whatever you ask when I do. I'm good for it.

[servantnotserving]

Oh, no need to pay me! I am only too happy to help, if this makes your life easier- knowing that is all the payment I need.

[fallbythesword]

[ ... Why do people do that. ]

Well, whatever you say. It does absolutely make my life easier, at least.

[servantnotserving]

[BECAUSE HE'S A NICE PERSON, JACQUIL, GOD.]

Glad to hear it. Is there anything else you need?

[fallbythesword]

[ WELL IT'S SILLY OKAY. GOD. ]

I don't think so. This is exactly what I needed - thank you. [ A pause. ] If at any point you need an engineer, since that's apparently what I am here, I'll do what I can.

[servantnotserving]

Thank you, ma cherie! I will be sure to bear that in mind.
