[The feed opens to a bespectacled teen staring at you guys with a serious look on his face.]

Hey, I got a question for you guys.

[...He has to admit what he's asking is really dumb even for a guy who had been here for a while, but well...]

This terminal here, does it store information from a long while ago?

[There's a sigh.]

I know that it must've sound weird, but this is the first time I'm using it. So I guess that's all then.

[...oh wait.]

Name's Shiki, Shiki Tohno, in case there's other people sharing the same name here.

i haven't run out of things to go through yet, if that's any indicator.

[yeeeaaah he may or may not be a little annoyed with the pointless spam that happens every so often on the network, but oh well.]

well, that's good to know, at the very least.

be forewarned that there's a lot of inane natter to look through at times, if your object is to gather information. you'll probably spend more time sifting through that than learning anything important.

[like seriously they have a communications network like this and this is what it's used for. why can't you people just do some of this in person or via the mailboxes or something.]

...Well, I was thinking of something along the line of past actions the Administrators have done, but thanks for the warning anyways.

if that's what you're looking for, it does exist, like i've said. simply bogged down in the rest of what's on here. but i've noticed there tends to be a large slew of entries shortly after something particularly bold on the administrators' part.

best of luck to you, anyway.

...Thanks, I have a feeling I'm going to need a lot of it in this case.

should you be lacking in it, i'm sure a large measure of patience would serve you just as well.

I think that one goes without saying.

... right.

[can plaintext sound flustered? this text sounds flustered.]

apologies, i think i've been acquainted with some who don't have quite so much attention span for too long. it's probably skewed my expectations.

...It's alright, I'm sort of used to dealing to such a person back when I was home, so I understand where you're coming from.

It does, though it is unreliable you'll find. Little snippets disappear from time to time... Naughty little admins and their little games.

Well, it wouldn't be normal if it's full of rosy compliments for them.

[Just saying.]

No, I am more speaking of secrets. Snippets they don't want being shared. That sort of thing. Some have disappeared from time to time. Always be wary of your conversations here.

I'll take a note of that, then.

[ah.]

May I know who I'm speaking with, if that's not a trouble?

You may. The name is Chloe. Perhaps I could claim your own name in return even?

Shiki Tohno, I'd say nice to meet you, but you know how this place works.

[yep.]

I see no reason to let that impede a good meeting. It is a pleasure.

[This is something she's been interested in, but had no way of asking without drawing attention to herself, so thanks 'specs! This is some grade A quality info ♥]

It stores information from at least the past few months. I wouldn't rely on it for anything crucial, however, especially after the past month.

Saki Asami. Nice to meet you, Shiki-san, though the circumstances are hardly ideal.

Edited 2013-04-27 21:21 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll make sure to keep that in mind, Asami-san [automatically assigning her to formality]

Well, I don't think any meeting can be ideal in this kind of place.

The network itself can be unreliable - it goes out sometimes, or things seem to hide themselves. The terminals, too. I'm not great with computers, but even I know that when I go to click 'video' and the paint program comes up, something's wrong...

[She nods.]

No, it's not, and this month's been the perfect example as of why.

Yeah, at least that much I know.

[And that's just great.]

...No kidding, I've heard that months with that Jason guy could be bad, but not this bad, to be honest.

The information stored within the terminals dates back many, many years. I can personally attest to that, having looked up and found data with time marks.

However, much of the information is contradictory in nature and has the high possibility of being forged.

Edited 2013-04-28 00:47 (UTC)

...Well, that's a first I've heard of it.

[Though knowing this place, it isn't really that surprising too.]

It was quite surprising. I have since ceased searching through the terminals, as clashing information will only hinder progress.

Even if the information does clash, information is still information, right?

[Just saying...]

I suppose so. It is useful for future comparison or for the sake of antiquity.

...Anyways, thanks for answering, er...

[right.]

What's your name, by the way?

i read all of it once. back then, it went back over a year... so there's over two years of posts now

just keep going backwards and eventually you'll find the start.

actually, i've been thinking of handing out links to old important stuff, since there's so much in the way to finding anything now.

let me guess, all the discrepancies and everyone freaking out?

you kidding? nah, i wanna make a 'ridiculous embarrassing text walls of love advice' greatest hits CD and pass it out whenever anyone needs a good cheering up

but the stuff like links to old creepy videos and jason's dumb snarky q&a session could be helpful too, ~i guess~

You know, if there ever was a sarcasm competition, I'm pretty sure you'd have won that.
