Chatrooms

Who: Everyone!
Where: Everywhere!
When: Day 3, evening

[ Whoever you are, wherever you are, you'll find this message on your phone:

Installing. . . .

After a few moments, you receive another notif.

Application installed. Click to open "Dissonance"...

Clicking on it gets you to a login screen with the current (permanently set) username.

Fortunately, if you find your username to be uncute or something (sensitIV#023 doesn't look really appealing as a display name and really doesn't indicate who you might be), you can change your display name, color, and even upload a display picture - in fact, it gives you a prompting to put your name in first before you can access anything else.

Once you've passed that screen, you'll see a number of contacts already on your list - every Idol here, in fact - as well as a couple of chatrooms already pre-created on your phone: a private unit chatroom and a general chatroom. There's a little + on the corner if you want to make another chatroom with just a select few people too, or you can make. . . another general chatroom? I guess? If you want to like split up topics or get some organization in your life, I guess.

Welcome to the beginning of the #general channel.

Well, who's going to say something first? ]

Boss: ftr, if anyone wants freshly made coffee, just feel free to bring coffee beans to the BE=DE side of the kitchen. however much you want, plus a little extra for barista tip. promise it'll be way better than the instant or canned stuff.

Boss: not much of a sweet tooth

[artificialinelegance]

______: you're like 14 you should be drinking like unicorn leprechaun frappes or something, not dad ass dad coffee

[sancrimony]

higanbana: What would be "a little extra"?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: Whatever you can spare/afford. I've requested certain people do half of the serving they want, but aside from that I'm not too choosey.

[sancrimony]

higanbana: I see.
higanbana: I don't recall if I like coffee or not, so I'm curious to try.
higanbana: Do you only need coffee beans?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: that's all, yep

[sancrimony]

higanbana: I will have to see about obtaining some, then. How are beans made into a drink?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: there's a process to it
Boss: it's easier to demonstrate than describe it
Boss: but basically you grind up the (already roasted) beans and then put the grinds in a filter over a cup
Boss: and then you pour hot water over it
Boss: more goes into it but that's all technical know-how
Boss: like temp of water or how coarse or fine the grinding

[sancrimony]

higanbana: I see. Is tea not brewed the same way, or at least similarly?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: it's not too different. one's beans, one's leaves?

[sancrimony]

higanbana: I presume you prefer coffee over tea?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: i don't remember if i have an opinion on tea...

[sancrimony]

higanbana: Ah
higanbana: Your coffee love is something you had a memory of, then?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: that and a caffeine addiction. but mostly positive associations

[sancrimony]

higanbana: Is an addiction a good thing??

[criminaljustice]

Boss: as far as addictions go, it's pretty mild. also socially acceptable

[sancrimony]

higanbana: Then, as long as it is mild and socially acceptable, it's fine?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: i'm more of a "to each their own, so long as no one's getting hurt" kind of person, but generally?

[sancrimony]

higanbana: I see.
higanbana: Thank you for your answer. I am still learning these things.
