[text | UN: S1R3N] enhance your online experience today!

[r3f4c70r3d]

Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that today I come to you with a new option for your cellular devices! While the default chat program is...charming, in its simplicity, I have taken it upon myself to begin programming helpful extensions that will streamline and modernize the system. This update is on the small side, think of it more like an open beta:

Introducing EMOJIS and the easy to use EMOJI KEYBOARD Once you click on the download link below, your device will be updated to have a keyboard consisting of cute little faces and objects, for when you don't have the words to get your point across, or want to add some flare to your conversation.

[DOWNLAD]

Please report any issues you may have to S1R3N, and thank you for your time.

-A.G.

((OOC: Angels emoiji extension comes with an added bonus, very well hidden and encrypted spyware. This will, if you allow it, give Angel access to your characters chat history and any hidden profile features as well as an ability to keep track of your character in a database. Don't worry, your information will not be sold for profit. Probably. You can post some of what she might find HERE If you don't want her to be able to spy on and have access to your characters phone history or want to discuss access terms but still want your character to be able to download her extension just leave an ooc note in your comment.))

((OOC EDIT for clarity: Angel uses the monikers A.G., Angie, or simply A. (as its listed in her network biopage) with no indication about her looks, age or gender. Unless someone has met her in person and exchanged contact information she's effectively anonymous.))

ohhh these are so cute!
I usually prefer text kaomoji but these are super adorable!

[r3f4c70r3d]

Kaomoji?

[ayes]

stuff like this! ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ

[r3f4c70r3d]

Oh! I know those, they're very cute

[ And the kind she prefers to use when she's feeling particularly friendly. ]

I didn't know they had a specific name.

OMG
you are my hero
seriously!
💯💯💯

[r3f4c70r3d]

You're very welcome! 😊
Please only use your new powers for good.

[punshots]

ha, you can count on me! 😜
what brought this on, anyway?
was it one of those situations where words just won't cut it?

[ An emoji is worth a thousand words. ]

[r3f4c70r3d]

I wanted to test the limitations of this technology, so I decided to start with something on the simple side but would be easy to crowed test and little pictures in place of words seem to be irresistible to the masses. 😅✨

[ Well, it's... cute? Emojis might be fun to use, but he can't help peeking under the hood. ]

Hey... there's a lot of extraneous code in this extension.

[ Maybe it's nothing. ]

private

[r3f4c70r3d]

I have yet to master how to streamline my code and cut out fluff without breaking something in the process. I'm still a bit of novice. 😅

private

[idealog]

That's a pretty unusual form of quality control. I'm picking up some kind of bug.

[ He wouldn't install anything on his device that he wouldn't install in himself. ]

[r3f4c70r3d]

Really? It seems to be working fine for me but...this is an open beta. What kind of problems are you encountering?

good to know the heart & soul of apple is still living on, despite it all

( and he doesn't mean the emojis... whats w the permissions on this??? it's actually nothing new for an app to demand access to excessive information, but what on earth could it be needed for now? )

[r3f4c70r3d]

...the fruit?

[ Bad autocorrect? (do these things have autocorrect? Could be the next extension idea.) ]

[webdesigned]

its a technology company, back home... not your home, i take it

[r3f4c70r3d]

Not my home, no. We had plenty of major technology companies where I'm from, but I'm sure I would recall one with such a distinct name if it was relevant.

I have to say

This is one of the best things I've seen this network used for. Got any with cats in them?

switched to private

[r3f4c70r3d]

Have you already begun downloading? Hold on one moment.

[ That Rhys would be interested in literally anything she did that was not in direct relation to him or Jack has Angel surprised. And concerned. If he's as technically inclined as she's been lead to believe in her conversations with him then the chance that he'll notice the programming at work here isn't clean is high. She can't afford to break the small bridge of trust that they've managed to form, Rhys is still a crucial informant.
With all that in mind she quickly brings up the application on her own phone and in seconds has scrapped the spyware from it, zipped it up, and sent it as an attachment. ]

Version 1.0 has been riddled with bug reports already. I have just finished implementing an automatic patch but it has yet to go live. Tt would be easiest to send you this new version directly.

And yes there are cat versions of the faces.

[ This is an act of good faith, Rhys...don't make her regret it. ]

[ Rhys was a former Hyperion stooge, of course he's into dumb stuff like cat emojis.

Or well. Ironically he is. He's not really into them, but the other execs had so to fit in Rhys had imitated them. he's kind of glad that whole culture died with Helios, but it wouldn't be...bad to have a cat face or two right? They're kind of cute. ]

No I didn't download anything yet? That's why I asked if there were cats.
Thanks though. This is surprisingly...nice of you.
What's the occasion?

UM there's nothing stupid about cat emojis!?

[r3f4c70r3d]

Generally, I am nice. You have been...an unfortunate exception? Let these kitty emojis serve as an olive branch of sorts.
😺😸😼🙀😹

thank you. i'd only just got the hang of them before i went into cryostasis on my home planet.

[ he's downloading, but scanning the application with his own tech, courtesy of teamwork with one alan foster. ]

( ooc: ahaha i'd be so down for some shenanigans with this — maybe he and bruce wayne ('alan foster') can detect her work and recruit her to work with them? also would you be down for him reverse-engineering what she's done and using it? )

[r3f4c70r3d]

You're welcome.


Hang on, you were in cryostasis even before you arrived here?

(ooc: just let angel live her mildly underhanded life, people! but no really i'm down for this, do you have a plurk we can brainstorm at? i'm weirdtakoyaki)

[foes]

how do i put it...
software issues, i guess.

( ooc: sweet! i'm reaching out to you pronto! )
