Organic technology that lets you IM people across dimensions, you say?
Claudia is on that like white on rice. The instructions look simple enough, and besides, shiny new tech! Free open beta! How's a girl to resist?
As such, repositoryBadger is in the house. And by 'in the house,' we mean at a table, poking at the shiny new tech and reading the

Claudia is not the only one poking at a handheld, but Ako has a series of notes next to her explaining what she's tried.

Just in case she ends up unconscious, body-swapped or limbless and mute.

It's not quite a safety protocol, but it's what she has.

[claudiometer]

See, Claudia's not much of one for a paper trail. Not if she's just messing around, anyway.
But she sees the pile of notes and says, "Well, that's one way to do it."

[seat_five_girl]

"Oh, um, hello," says Ako, "It's just I've had things from here do strange things before and I'd like to give my friends a head start if something bad does happen."

[claudiometer]

"Probably a good idea, but..." Claudia shrugs. "I've never been the paper-trail type, and this actually seems okay so far."
Yes, the interface itself is a little... squishier than she's used to, but that's only to be expected when it's organic.

practicalPowered has begun trolling repositoryBadger

practicalPowered: Okay, if this works, I'm keeping it. despite the fact it makes up names like an inglorius jerkface buttweasel.

[claudiometer]

"...Of course it's trolling," Claudia says to herself.
RB: Well, it seems to be working so far. The naming thing isn't *that* bad, is it?

[tyler_marlocke]

pP: Sez you. Mine refused to let me get anything without the word Power or Powerless in it.
pP: It's a sore subject. Kind of like getting kicked in a bruise.

[claudiometer]

RB: ...okay, fair point. I just can't figure out why badgers.

Sameth hasn't seen Claudia in a while and has never seen something exactly like her new tech,

"Claudia, what's that?"

[claudiometer]

"Hey. Somebody's cooked up an interdimensional communication thing. Works in here well enough, but I only just grabbed it, so I haven't tried it from home yet."
But it does work in the bar, which is more than her phone does, so!

[makesthings]

"How does it work?" New gadgets always come first.

[claudiometer]

"According to the instructions, it bounces the messages off a server here and relays them to whoever you're talking to. So it's kind of like an instant message program but without the Internet, since it runs on this thing. Which... needs to be fed, apparently."
That part's a little weird, but hey, free open beta! Interdimensional communication devices! She can't say no!

[doyousmellfudge]

And before long her boss is looking over her shoulder.

"What's this?"

[claudiometer]

Claudia does not jump. ...Somehow.
"This? Is open beta," she doesn't-really-answer.

[doyousmellfudge]

"Uh-huh. Of what?"

[claudiometer]

"Interdimensional communication devices."
:D?
