Texting~!

[dead_serious]

Technology in the reaper realm always advanced much quicker than in the mortal world. How that was possible wasn't made quite clear, but every employee would have to agree that it made the job far more tolerable and almost manageable. Before they knew it, fancy new machines were showing up in their cubicles and offices. Large ones that could transfer writing from one sheet to countless others. An extremely convenient electronic typewriter that made the organization of files far more streamlined. And now, their newest administered device which allowed them to communicate between departments and even branches without having to travel. They called it a 'cellular phone.'

Have you truly ever tried, though?

[dead_serious]

I suppose I would have to bore you in some fashion.
Perhaps I should spend some of my free time with Othello.

[untodeath]

Except the only free time you have seems to be whilst alone on work-related holiday.

[dead_serious]

Rather depressing, really.

[untodeath]

If it has, your attempt was mildly successful.
Bringing up that little lab rat really does stifle the mood.
Ugh!

[dead_serious]

I just may give you another assignment along side him, then.

[untodeath]

No, thank you! I've suffered enough exposure to last me a few decades, at least!

[dead_serious]

We will see.
Humphries said that there are programs I can put on my phone. As entertainment.
Do you know anything of this?

[untodeath]

Fine, do it.
Every time I become frustrated, I'll recall that it's all because of you.
That will surely satisfy me!

And, yes, my darling. They are called "Applications".
"Apps," for short.
You truly haven't explored any of it?
My goodness, where to start!

[dead_serious]

Can you not put all this in one message? I may as well have brought the entire aviary with me.

And no I haven't. That is why I am asking.

[untodeath]

I can't believe it, I forgot about your message tone!
Oh, that's brilliant.
You're certain that you aren't enjoying it?

[dead_serious]

Thankfully I can mute you on it.

So, what type of apps are there?

[untodeath]

Rude.

You'll want to find the icon labelled "Store", first.
I recommend Cadavagram, Stiffify, Pinanimate, and YouDead.
Just to name a few!

[dead_serious]

[ William is staring at his phone trying to pronounce all those app names and not being very successful. ]

...
What in death's name is Stiffify?

[untodeath]

A music streaming service!
You thought it was something naughty, didn't you?

[dead_serious]

I was almost certain that was the case.
Music streaming sounds acceptable, though. Interesting, even.

[untodeath]

So, William T. Spears CAN think impure thoughts!
I think I might be proud...

But, yes, I thoroughly enjoy that one!

[dead_serious]

I never claimed otherwise.

I will install that one, then. What of the others?

[untodeath]

Perhaps not. The rest of us may have.
Cadavagram and Pinanimate are image-based, but the former is more about original content and socialising, whereas the latter is more about saving things that you enjoy, in my experience.

[dead_serious]

[ He's quiet for a spell, presumably locating and downloading the apps. ]

Why do I need to create a personal account for all of these? And how can I, my name is taken for each.

[untodeath]

Do you mean to tell me that there are other Williams on this vast multi-dimensional network?
Madness.

You can use williamtspears.
Or, better yet, make up something clever!

[dead_serious]

[ Glaring at Grell though the phone! ]

That was taken, as well. You know I'm not a creative person.

[untodeath]

Wait, what?
How is THAT taken?

[ Okay, yes, she can totally feel the grumpiness, but she's really focused on thinking through that one! ]

Okay, fine, how about...
birdboss
allworknoplay
specsandpecs

[ She can go on! ]

[dead_serious]

Specsandpecs? Honestly?

[untodeath]

I know, those are surely taken, as well...
