IV: Bride of Chucker | [Voice | Action]

[the_mikester]

[Mike is... better than he was. The events of the AU were like the best dream he'd ever had, and waking up to harsh reality was all the more painful this time because everyone else remembered the dream too. It was like being stripped bare in no way he'd ever experienced, nudist that he is, and he doesn't like it one bit.

[Huh. Now this is a surprise. Mike actually contacting him? Like the birthday invitation, Robert kind of has to blink and check to make sure it's actually Mike talking before he responds.]

Ah, certainly, Mike.

... It's... an interesting process, actually. Would... would you prefer a demonstration, or...? [He doesn't know how eager Mike is to have him around at the moment or ever and frankly, things seem less awkward at a respectable distance anyway.]

[Voice]

[the_mikester]

I guess...?

I dunno, I've only watched Donnie do it once.

[You would be right, Robert. Things are ten thousand million times easier talking to you over the journals. He can pretend you aren't the creepiest thing he's ever encountered that way.]

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

In that case...

The main method of filtering a message is by enclosing the contents of the message that you wish to filter; said contents can essentially be anything from text you have written to voice or video files you have made. You then specify the people you wish to direct the filter either away or toward; that is, you can either filter a message so that it broadcasts to everybody except those you specify, or broadcast it to only those you specify.

After you enclose the contents you wish to filter, you design a passcode, numeric system, or similar method of deterring those who would wish to see it... Take note that the relative strength of the filter is dependent on the complexity of whatever passcode or equivalent you've designed.

[After a moment, Robert adds:]

... Likewise, you could choose to try to access a filtered message by attempting to enclose the area you think is filtered, and then inputting the text "hack". Then you would have to attempt to decode whatever filtering had been put on the message...

[He's only done

[Voice]

[the_mikester]

...

Uh, yeah. You could explain how to do it.

[Dude, seriously.]

[On Mike's filter]

[no_use_running]

I can help you with the filter, if you want.

[On Mike's filter]

[the_mikester]

Oh- okay.

[He's so shy all of a sudden.]

[On Mike's filter + Ami boost to 100%]

[no_use_running]

There. It should be completely safe now.

Was there something you wanted to talk about?

[Filtered 100%]

[the_mikester]

Uh...

[Being married to you was like a glimpse into the best possible future.]

Last week was pretty crazy, huh?

[filtered: 90% because Fujiko is a hacker and freaking paranoid]

[doubleppk]

Oh you know. Not romancing your father.

Good stuff that.

[Horrible horrible jokes are go.]

[filtered: 90%]

[the_mikester]

Ugh.

[Gross, Fujiko.]

Yeah... I'm still trying not to think about that.

[filtered: 90%]

[doubleppk]

[She has... the worst humor in the world. THE WORST. Jigen and Lupin find it horrible, it's that bad.]

Mm-hm. Same.

How about you then Mikey? [She's actually a little frazzled, and sounds like it. Searching for a Malnosso abducted person is hard work.]

[filtered: 90%]

[the_mikester]

I'm okay. [He hears that frazzle. After a slight pause:] Donnie says people get kidnapped all the time and they always come back. [Fujiko should be able to tell what Donnie hasn't been talking about, which is the usual state of people upon their return.]

[Locked. Because Derek has that ability, Who needs whimpy percentages, anyway?]

[derek_bliss]

[He's been trying to keep a low profile since the experiment ended. And although he does ignore the message for a while...he does finally answer it.]

Hey, man.

Doing all right?

[Locked.] Mike did it with word search puzzles. So be happy it was that high.

[the_mikester]

I'm good.

[Been biting his nails during that hesitation. He knows a little about what happened with you and Raph a few weeks ago, but not everything, and he's relieved to hear you're alright, even if you aren't his dad anymore.]

Guess you can't ground me anymore. [Humor fail.]

[Locked.] He did good...well, okay...yeah ;)

[derek_bliss]

[Another hesitation and then a quiet chuckle]

I guess not. I'm not sure I grounded you much in that lifetime anyway; you were too young.

How's everyone else you knew doing?

[Locked.]

[the_mikester]

They're okay. It's weird, but...

Raph's still missing. You haven't seen him, have you?

[Hope springs eternal.]
