Comments

[princessofmoe]

[P-part commentlog? Part communicator actions? She's just quietly standing near the boat's railing, where she seems to be always staring off into the distance. Sometimes she'll stop to stare at the other crew members like a little creeper. But, hearing that transmission... she pulls out her own communicator and punches in a few keys. She was having trouble speaking with Yuuko, Xi, and Hiccup earlier.]

[TEXT]

[She could probably just call out to you, but here...]

They cannot hear you clearly, Mister First Mate.

[threesword]

[He's fiddling with the communicator, trying to hear other transmissions that aren't coming in very clearly at all. Which is frustrating, but he sort of gets why. But when he sees the response from Rika, his head jolts up, scouring the nearby area to see where she is.

Eventually, he spots her, not bothering to use the communicator to respond. Because she's right there and all.]

... You could've just said that out loud, you know.

[princessofmoe]

[And she gives a little wave of her hand when his gaze meets hers. Hello Mister First Mate! She quietly stares at him for a moment, then back down at her communicator, then back up again. Despite what he says, she starts typing in another message over the device. Still not talking.]

[TEXT]

There are other ways to communicate with the people that are still on land, you know. Ni-paa~☆. [She was trying to drop a hint for him to use text instead.]

[threesword]

[This prompts him stare - almost blankly - at Rika for a second. He still doesn't understand why she's typing on the communicator when they're both capable of speaking to one another.

After he reads it, his eyebrow arches slightly. Oh, right. He can use text to talk to people. He still doesn't reply using the communicator though, because he just thinks that's dumb.]

You think it'll work?

[eyesofgeass]

Come again?

[threesword]

Didn't realize that'd happen when I used it.

""I'm guessin' people can hear this in the city. We've come far, but who the hell knows where we'll end up."

[eyesofgeass]

So the range isn't infinite. That's good to know.

[threesword]

Planning on going somewhere?

[autos_da_fe]

...You sound like a ransom note.

[Text]

[threesword]

Not exactly what I was going for.

[Text]

[autos_da_fe]

Well, yeah. Why would anyone need ransom around here?

[Text]

[threesword]

You wouldn't. But you never know with the people around here.

[text]

[witchoftheweek]

It appears there is a distance limit.

[text]

[threesword]

Yeah, I'm catching on to that.

[text]

[witchoftheweek]

I have to say it is interesting; hopefully it will still be able to send text.

[text]

[threesword]

Yeah. I didn't think it'd do this. It always worked whenever people left the city.

It'll help if it still works. Everyone needs to be able to stay in touch.

[embracethewaves]

[HI HAVE A SUPER LATE TAG. Umi was fiddling with the communicator and managed to play his post, so you might be able to hear that burst of static. Just a bit.

Still, you get a text reply, because why not?]

So these things do stop working after a while... Jeez, don't tell me we're totally cut off from the city!

[threesword]

[Zoro is wondering why she's reply in text, but can't be arsed to get up and find her.]

Text still works to the city.
