Also, they make good stocking stuffers

[razorblade_empress]

Okay, I know there's a lot going on at the moment...

[what with dungeons, walkabout fallout, whatever the hell's going on with that penalty box...]

...but I just wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads-up that Infoglasses are now available on a first come, first serve basis. I figure I can make maybe three a month to start with, so if anyone wants a pair, let me know.

For anyone who doesn't know what Infoglasses are, they're basically glasses that double as a portable display for computers, TVs, and other devices. They've got wi-fi access, provide their own hotspot, and have a massive photographic database onboard, so you can use them to look at a given object, compare it to similar objects on file, and pull information about them from the database. They're Spark-era tech, so... pretty advanced.

Anyway, I'm around if anyone wants a pair.

Well, no.

But I don't recall anyone getting stabbed on that Jaunt.

[razorblade_empress]

That's something, at least.

[She honestly doesn't know much about that Jaunt, aside from there apparently not being that much to do and something about being slightly too early for Pompeii.]

[haveabiscuit]

It is.

It's ludicrous that this is our standard now, but it is something.

[razorblade_empress]

...Yeah, it is.

[To both of those.]

[haveabiscuit]

Perhaps we should be including reference material about de-escalation on some of these devices.

[razorblade_empress]

That assumes people would read it.

[She is not so sure that's a safe assumption.]

[haveabiscuit]

And that would involve taking a moment to consider first.

[Another weak point, unfortunately]

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah, pretty much.

[There's a short pause.]

Not that I'm absolving myself of this either, but...

[She tries, but she's not without her own impulsive tendencies.]

[haveabiscuit]

I was young once too.

I'm allowed to admit here that I remember what it feels like.

[razorblade_empress]

I've gotta admit I still don't feel in any way prepared for adulthood.

[And yet despite this, she'd apparently been the voice of experience and/or reason and/or only sane teammate to a group of high schoolers and her occasionally alarmingly ditzy coworker-slash-friend, before their timeline had been rewound. How.]

[haveabiscuit]

Strange as it sounds, that's normal.

[Sometimes she still wishes for an adultier adult]

And adulthood here is so different than anywhere else.

[razorblade_empress]

That's what I keep hearing.

[She believes it, but she has to admit it's a bit depressing.]

Yeah, there's that too.

[haveabiscuit]

Even when people try to prepare you, they can only prepare you for what things were like when they reached that age. That's never the same even when you aren't hopping between universes every two months.

But humanity manages to survive all the same.

[razorblade_empress]

That we do. Somehow.

[No thanks to certain eldritch gods she can think of, but...]
