[the audio starts with Jeanne speaking rather softly, still rather confused about this rather foreign device. is it like the things that Marco installs in his car...?]Excuse me, but is it normal to have this communicator occasionally malfunction? I can't help but think that some of the wires might have disconnected as I constantly receive these

Unfortunately, the communicators are somehow wired to give an electric shock if they aren't used every few weeks or so.

[fauxsaint]

That sounds rather inhumane...

[onsenqueen]

Somehow the word 'inhumane' loses some merit when you say it.

[fauxsaint]

[as;dfljasf why so mean, Anna]

...I suppose it does. But it does not change the fact that this is unnecessary cruelty.

[hidesinhats]

It gave you a shock?

[fauxsaint]

Yes, is that a typical occurence? This is the first I've dealt with it...

[hidesinhats]

I'm... I'm not sure. I haven't been here very long myself.

[fauxsaint]

Oh, I see. I hope that it doesn't do the same to you, if it hasn't occurred yet.

[big_kitty]

Ah... these devices get a bit tempermental when not used.

[fauxsaint]

So the shock is to be expected?

[big_kitty]

Only if you don't use it for a while!

[fauxsaint]

Then... this device will have to remain in constant use so as to avoid injury. Would you happen to know the purpose of that?

[witchoftheweek]

It is apparently a failsafe designed to force you to use these.

[fauxsaint]

May I ask what the reason behind that is?

[witchoftheweek]

You can, but I have no answers. I have a hypothesis that it may be a way on monitoring our activity, but that is dependent on a number of other possibilities.

[fauxsaint]

That's unfortunate. There are still so many unanswered questions about this place...

[nomnomguts]

Ah, the communicator seems to shock people when they aren't used frequently enough. Specifically making your own posts, video, texts, or voice, rather than talking to others~

Mm, it should stop now that you've done this.

[fauxsaint]

Oh, all right. What an... odd function.

Thank you for your advice. I hope to make good use of it.

[nomnomguts]

I believe it's to encourage us to interact... though obviously many people ignore that.

Mm, glad to be of help.

[fauxsaint]

They... ignore it? So they get shocked constantly? That's awful!
