Hello? I think I'm doing this right. Although I'm not really sure that I believe that other people will really be able to read what I'm writing as if by magic. (Is it really not magic? Because I just don't see how that can work.) And it seems like a very complicated way to try and talk to people. It's like someone's tried purposefully tried to make

Signing your name works best I think.

And for me, the BBS system is a little strange, I'm more used to den den mushi which are a direct one person to another line of voice communication. You get used to the BBS quickly though.

So I can just put 'Merlin' all it it's own then?

What's 'den den mushi'? Is that something to do with computers too?

[fierybluebird]

Yes.

Den den mushi are psychic snails. With a little bit of machinery, people use them to send audible messages.

...Let me guess this straight. You world has psychic snails, and you turn them into machines and use them to talk to each other?

[fierybluebird]

No, they're not cyborgs. They have machinery hooked up to them so that people can use their transmission patterns to send messages.

[nevergetscredit]

That's still got to be one of the strangest things I've ever heard.

[fierybluebird]

They're very good at what they do. Besides, I like the personable element. It's stranger just talking to machinery. This way it's more like a direct translator.

[nevergetscredit]

I'm not sure that I'd call psychic snails 'personable' Wouldn't they be all...slimy?

[fierybluebird]

No. Not when they're happy.

[nevergetscredit]

How do you even make snails happy?

[fierybluebird]

Take care of them properly. Same way as most things.
