So is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

Remember message boards? Old school style. Better description for here. No private settings unless you direct messages to a person or a group instead of posting to the network as a whole.

As for the rest: yes, agreed, great question you should borrow someone's to check, and you need a second earpiece.

I know not what "Reddit" and "Facebook" are, but you can indeed change your user name. Do you have need of assistance?

Regarding the rest, you may wish to inquire with Aurora. It is likely you can purchase another device with points.

[taxevasion]

[Ignoring the actual answers for a second because:]

Why did you make your username the name of a newspaper?

[taxevasion]

No, I got it, ye verily. I'll stay with this one until I get a better idea.

And there's no way for me to know how many points I already have? Can I go get more via skee-ball or something?

[thisisontherecord]

( because it's her life's work at that newspaper okay )

Says paint-by-numbers.

[taxevasion]

It's clearly a placeholder name until I think of a better one.

[oblige]

[ Does he mean "yea verily"? Dion supposes he must... ]

Very well.

As for your point total, it will appear in the holographic display of your device. If you are new, you may not yet have a point total.

[thisisontherecord]

Uh-huh. At least you passed internet safety 101 by not leaving it as your legal name.

[taxevasion]

So the zero in the corner means zero points. Great.

So can I get a second set at a store, or do I need to find Suckerpunch girl again?

i'm crying laughing

[thisisontherecord]

I feel like every Gothamite here just sat up to pay attention to you all at once.

Did you try to suckerpunch Aurora? She's the hookup for the earpieces on network. Going to have different people making their own private networks if you're into that sort of thing.

[oblige]

You may obtain up to twenty five a month for participation and general mingling.

The latter is often encouraged by the odd arranged collective task or activity. It is often a challenge to discern what they have to do with saving our worlds, but the points act as incentive.

[taxevasion]

Well. They can... stop doing that. It's just another placeholder. Why are you all so weird about newspapers?

No?? I didn't try to punch her. Should I have? I meant because she looks like the girl from that really bad movie, Suckerpunch. The one that's clearly the director's weird fetish fantasy?

What do you mean private networks?

[taxevasion]

I was right. This is a human zoo, isn't it? We're dancing monkeys for banana-points.

[oblige]

There are times it feels that way.

Count yourself fortunate you were spared the indignity of "summer camp".

[taxevasion]

Wait, you guys got to go to summer camp??

[oblige]

You say that as though it was a privilege to be forced to wear ill-fitting uniforms and craft useless items.

[thisisontherecord]

The news is serious business. Or the truth that the news should be communicating is at the least.

Don't think I've seen that one. Aurora looks like the leading actress? You should ask if she's familiar with the film.

Networks not run by Aurora. Ones she doesn't know about. My guess is a few have to exist with how people are around here, but I can't say anything more, because I have nothing to do with any of them. If they exist.

( They definitely exist. )

[taxevasion]

That's a little naive, don't you think?

"Hey Aurora, did you know you look like this exploited girl in a sexualized sailor outfit?" I know she's a robot, but that's still a pretty fucked up thing to say.

Oh. I get it. Secret networks. If I was interested, I'd definitely ask you about them. But I'm just a normal guy, who doesn't care about that kind of thing. Sorry!

[thisisontherecord]

Most people would just say, hey have you seen the movie "Suckerpunch?" All the rest of that's largely unnecessary unless you're wanting to discuss it for those specific elements. In which case, good to know, and good judgement call.

I'm so glad you're a normal guy uninterested in secret networks. That's a very normal guy thing to say. Normally.

[taxevasion]

Well, not if there's uniforms...

[taxevasion]

I'm very good at judgement calls.

Thanks!

Anyway, do you think Aurora's an evil robot or more like a roomba?

[thisisontherecord]

( you know what )

Roomba. Helpful, but not always in ways that make sense.

[oblige]

Deeply unfortunate uniforms.

[sophielicious]

oh honey sideblogging really?
