[ In the background of the video feed is the very beautiful headboard-slash-wall of Rhys’s bunk in Tyrhaus. Has he been publicly threatened on the network by one of his housemates twice? Yes. Is he still hanging out here anyway? Yes.
Honestly, he thinks he has nowhere to go and hasn’t thought to check with anyone more friendly for help, but, hey, he’s still alive! Clearly everything is fine.
Anyway, he’s smiling, and gives a quick little wave. ]
Hi, guys! I’ve got some awesome new updates for the bracelets, and something kind of related to that that I could use help with. The name’s Rhys, by the way, for anyone who hasn’t met me yet.
So I spoke with Odin about improving the bracelets. Before, it was just kind of a very basic phone … thing, that can also play some music. With Odin’s help, we’ve got some more stuff! So, first off, we’ve kind of got a hard drive on the bracelet now. For anyone who doesn’t know what that is, it’s somewhere you can store things like videos, pictures and documents. Like a library, except it takes up way less space. Which means we can now do stuff like write notes so that we don’t forget stuff, wish lists, uhh, recipes, etcetera etcetera. I’ve been keeping a list of everyone that was ever in Asgard and who’s gone home, as well as compiling info about our home worlds-slash-universes, and I’m going to put that on my hard drive thing.
We can also record videos without broadcasting them to people like I’m doing right now, and take pictures, and save them on the hard drive. Maybe there’s some stuff you just want to save and keep for yourself, stuff you want to remember. Now you can!
You can also share everything with other people. You just ... send it from your bracelet to other people’s bracelets. Once I’ve got my list and information saved, for example, I can just send it to anyone who wants to see it. Speaking of which, if there’s anyone who hasn’t already and feels up for telling me about where they’re from, please let me know.
[ He pauses, looks at the time he’s been recording for, and makes a grimace. ]
Oh, I’m doing the thing where I start making a video and then wish I would’ve just made a text post instead … Whatever.
So! This is what I need help with. I actually wanted to create a sort of database that can be accessed not just by the bracelets but also, say, from the library. It feels kind of unfair for us to have all this stuff, but the rest of the city doesn’t get to take any part in it. Anyway, according to Odin, that’s going to take a bit more effort. Meaning we need to actually help make the stuff required to make that happen. I guess the bracelets are really strictly for us? I don’t know.
[ He lifts his hands beside his face in a shrugging gesture. ]
And I’d be happy to do that! Honestly, I’m kind of bored out of my mind. The problem is I work with software, which means I could code any programs that need to be made once we have the physical stuff in place, but I’m not a computer engineer or anything like that. I don’t suppose I’m lucky enough that there’s someone here that knows how to build this stuff? Other than that, I’ll happily take anyone who wants stuff to do and is willing to help me out with this. I’m sure we can figure it out, possibly with some more help from Odin.

no subject
( Thank goodness his door has a lock on it. )
You must not ever be indisposed around someone ready to pull one over on you.
no subject
[ He calculated nothing but seriously they needed this. ]
no subject
( He's nosy; you can't just say that and not drop the deets, bro. )
no subject
[ Huh. He understood it that Emil is really important to Klaus, and Klaus strikes him as someone who would gladly talk about his ... sex escapades, or whatever. ]
no subject
( Not knowing something he should know -- or even that he shouldn't know -- is going to claw away at his brain. )
-> [Private]
Bit too late to back away from this now. He makes a face, before he goes ahead and makes this a private call instead. ]
I'm kind of surprised he hasn't talked about it. I guess I'm ... God.
[ SCRUBS FACE. ]
I guess we're sleeping together. Casually. Regularly? It's all his fault, by the way. Just want to clarify that.
no subject
( In his opinion, this might be more likely to fall into a category of "things he shouldn't know," but now he does so. Fun. )
That, uhm. I don't know how something like that is someone's fault...? You're both--
( Oops, Emil's gonna backpedal away from that line of thought. ) Disregard that, it's none of my business.
no subject
No, I just made it your business and that's definitely my fault. I just ... assumed he would've told you? He seems like the kind to tell anyone he considers his friends things they might not have wanted to know.
Uh.
Sorry.
no subject
( Well, maybe 10% offended. 30%? Who Klaus has sex with is none of his business, and quite frankly not a talking point he's got any interest in, but. It's true that he usually is the type to go off at the mouth about crude things and eroticism, unfortunately, but hey. What can he complain about in this situation? )
I guess, uh. Be glad he's being secretive? If that's what you want. Again, none of my business.
( Maybe 40% offended because if he knew in advance, this awkward interaction wouldn't have to be a thing. )
no subject
Anyway, uh.
Just make sure you get pictures to use as payback if necessary. That's just the kind of thing you have to deal with in exchange for progress.
