A: 946 Beulah Street, outside, morning

[That awkward moment when you catch someone hugging their laptop lovingly in the middle of their sidewalk. Yeah, you just experienced it. Estonia is rather pleased with his parcel following the catastrophe that was milk torture week.]

B: 946 Beulah Street, outside, the entire rest of the day I wish I was

Comments

A; I basically can't not reply to this one

[letunityblossom]

[...Trying to be polite and not laugh, but kind of failing.]

notbro whhyyyyyy

[webfreedomftw]

[His neighbour sense goes dinging almost immediately and he looks around, not letting go of the laptop.]

... Shut up, Leedu.

[letunityblossom]

I didn't say anything.

[So amused.]

You look more like yourself now, at least.

[Yes, even though computers haven't been around long, it is just hard to see you without one now.]

[webfreedomftw]

You and Finland both, oi. How many hundred years have you known me?

[Don't worry, he's just grumpy because you caught him lovin' on his tech.]

[letunityblossom]

It just became attached to you very quickly, I suppose.

[webfreedomftw]

There's never been anything wrong with embracing change. So long as it's legal.

[letunityblossom]

I didn't say it was a bad thing. Working cell phones would be convenient when the town does something.

[webfreedomftw]

They would. It's a shame we don't have any control over the infrastructure. I'm sure there must be someone here with the skill to construct a radio tower and it's not as if we don't know how it would work.

[letunityblossom]

I wonder if one of us could regain that sort of thing. [Us as in a nation.]

[webfreedomftw]

I wonder. Or if it would even be capable of operating, knowing Mayfield.

[letunityblossom]

They could probably just destroy it whenever they wanted even if it did work.

[webfreedomftw]

Get our hopes up for nothing, of course. We could probably make basic radio transmissions work, though. A few decades earlier than we'd like in terms of efficiency, but...

[letunityblossom]

It would be nice to have some form of mass communication we could control. I know some people try to filter away from the drones on the phone, but honestly.

[His tone makes the "honestly, the town runs the phone lines and using it for important secret things would be foolish" implication incredibly obvious. To Lithuania, it would be like using a phone in Russia during Soviet times and expecting it to be possible to keep Russia from hearing.]

[webfreedomftw]

You might as well try keeping secrets from Russia. Nothing is ever secure enough.

[Any comparisons Lithuania might make, Estonia is already right there with him, paranoia in hand, not to worry.]

[letunityblossom]

[Baltic solidarity is having others to be paranoid in the same ways as you.]

I remember seeing a letter that said written notes are safer. I don't know how safe, though.

[webfreedomftw]

Do you know the reasoning behind that? You would think a paper trail would be more dangerous, not less.
