[Public | Text]

So how is everybody doin'? [Way to be generic when re-greeting everyone, Agent K.]

[Private to Import Security Personnel | Text]

I just got back. I've been told to disperse your new uniforms.

I also have somethin' important, so make it quick.

Peachy.

[most_feared]

Glad to hear it.

[He doesn't think it's been peachy but he's also capable of being a dick.]

[what_ho_jeeves]

[Bertie's never quite had it sink in that texts are not like telegrams. So he writes them in a way that's familiar to him.]

WHAT HO STOP

[most_feared]

I've got real good news for you, Mr. Wooster. We now have the technology to use both lower case letters and periods. It's a wonderful time we're visiting. You might want to explore the text options on your phone a little bit more.

[what_ho_jeeves]

[There's a long time before Bertie's next reply. He is trying to work out this Fascinating New Thing. ...He's getting there.]

Why, that's absolutely corking stop.

Much better than a telegram stop.

Now I have no risk of mistaking the name Robin with the bird robin, for a capital letter will distinguish the two stop. [Not that his has ever been a problem for him before, but Bertie thinks about such things.]

[most_feared]

You can also send messages without typing stop. It's pretty exciting.

[On the other end of this comm, Kay has the most flat expression imaginable as he's typing "exciting". Though the truth is if he were from Bertie's time? He'd probably be trying to do something very similar.]

[what_ho_jeeves]

I can.

[It's supposed to be a question, but he's working out one punctuation mark at a time.]

How will you know when my sentence is finished.

[Also supposed to be a question.]

[most_feared]

Because of the period, or any other sort of punctuation you use.

I'll know the same way you know mine is finished.

[what_ho_jeeves]

[The shoe drops, the lightbulb goes on, and Bertie can finally see the shoe for what it is and stops thinking that it's a hat.]

I say, it's like a typewriter



!

[He's still working on punctuation.]

A typewriter that immediately sends my typed pages from writer to reader without requiring an editor and publisher and a printing press and all that work that is usually required to join writer to reader.

[most_feared]

Yes, well. Win some. Lose some.

[Some messages could really stand some post-editing. Bertie's actually doing pretty well in comparison there.]

[folkscallmewander]

Doing swell!!! :)

So glad that you're back!

[most_feared]

It sounds like everything was manageable while I was gone. The people around here seem pretty tough.

[folkscallmewander]

Yuppers! We got a lot done all together, all thanks to everyone's help!

[most_feared]

Good job there, Tiger. I'm sure you've been staying out of trouble?

[He doesn't actually think Wander would willingly stay out of trouble. He likes adventure too much.]

[folkscallmewander]

[He hasn't been in any sort of danger as far as he's recalls.]

Nope!

And what've you been up to?

[It's only polite to ask about the other person about their trip!]

[most_feared]

[As much as it's actually alright for Kay to say what he's been up to? He has a chronic case of cagey bastard.]

Not much.

[He's been up to a shit tonne. A metric one.]

[folkscallmewander]

[Aw, Agent K is probably too embarrassed to talk about his vacation.]

Even if you didn't get anything special done you still had a great time back home!!

Bet you're excited to be back, huh?

[most_feared]

It's alright.

I'm a little bit of a home body. But the fresh air is nice. New York gets kinda rough.

[He can be honest about that much.]

[folkscallmewander]

You from the city? What's it like??

[most_feared]

It's big.

[That's super specific, Kay.]

Busy. I like the food carts and the different people. I like that it's easy to get lost in a crowd. People are loud and keep to themselves at the same time. The buildings are tall.

[folkscallmewander]

[That's descriptive enough for Wander.]

That sounds super awesome! There must be so much to do!

But you don't get too lost all the time, right?

[Because getting lost isn't always fun.]

[most_feared]

I'm of the opinion that everything is as complicated as you want to make it. If you want it to be easy to get around, just accept and work with the mistakes you run into when you make a wrong turn, or you just prepare yourself well in the first place.

New York has a lot of subways and a lot of neatly lined up blocks. It usually works pretty well.

[folkscallmewander]

[Advice that even Wander forgets time to time.]

You couldn't be more right! We can't always be in control of how things are, but it all depends on how you deal with it. New York sounds like a lovely place to live the way you describe it.

It's really that big?

[most_feared]

Some of the buildings have up to a hundred floors.

[He probably knows how many are on a floor because of the resort.]

[folkscallmewander]

[That is impressive.]

Really?? That big? There must be tons of people living in that! The biggest building I ever seen was a shopping mall!

And that was wider than it was tall!

[That's not to say that he never saw a tall building, just that they never reached one hundred floors.]

[most_feared]

I consider myself lucky to have lived most of my life in a place like that.

[He does love the city. And even when he tried the quiet life, his heart missed what it couldn't clearly remember.] Maybe one day you'll get the chance to see something like it.

[folkscallmewander]

Definitely! I hope we'll come across a planet like that one day!

Oooooor you can take us to New York! What do you say?
