[ Oh--yes. Yes it is. She's used to radio phones, but this is still a new thing. What's a ringtone? Why does it matter if it's customizable? Why does everyone get annoyed that Apple makes it difficult? Stresses of a world she will never know.
But she knows that address by now. He's honestly been the only one she's spoken extensively with on the palm reader. ]
[Yosuke is hipster as fuck so yeah he buys Apple, he knows this struggle and it's so very real... Asami comes from a simpler place and a simpler time, her life is gentle and pure.
He was tempted, so very tempted, to make this a video conversation, but he stopped himself in the end. Yosuke has made himself a solemn vow: when he sees her for the first time, it must be in person!]
yea! it rly sounds like a blast! evry1s gonna be there 4 sure.
if ur not busy do u wanna come hang out with me and my friends? were gonna get a spot on the beach and have som fun and ur ttly welcum 2 join!
[Aaaand they're going to have Serious Discussions on how to deal with this place, but a pox on that serious business, there are classy ladies to meet.]
[ Apple is aesthetically pleasing. Asami would probably have Apple because it's fancy, but she likes the ability to customize...her everything. Everything. Why have an Apple when you can have a Sato?
And that's probably for the best, she hasn't figured out the video feature yet. ]
Oh really?
[ HMMMM. It is quite the promotion, even though she realizes exactly what they're doing. Good business tactic, but it makes her a little suspicious. How could the economy really survive giving away THAT much? And Midas is supposed to be a little shadier...
...but that's a matter of circumstance, really. ]
I might like that. Sure, why not? Mind if I bring a friend too?
[Combine the aesthetics and brand-name status that comes with Apple with a flexible OS like Android and she can rule the cell phone world! Come to Earth, Asami, you'll be worshiped as a queen forever.
Ahem. Forth wall, right.]
uh huh! its gonna be me and yu and rise and mayB some more ppl we met
[The RSVP list is still a little hazy right now, but whatever, it's a beach party, the more the merrier! And on that note...]
sure! bring as many ppl as u want. were gonna have snacks and maybe play silly beach games like blindfold watermelon smashin or somethin. itll be a blast!
I hope you're right. I would hate for him to get into trouble because of that. You'd think it shouldn't matter when everyone is supposedly "on vacation". Don't they have any rights?
It really does. I don't think anyone is fond of it, but it takes people to really start changing something. That aside, if you're comfortable with it then I'll trust you. I just wouldn't want anything to happen to your friend.
I don't know. Maybe one already has? TANJA is very helpful, but I'd like to do some of my own research that isn't being filtered by a machine. You know?
[ Censored may be a better word. They brought them there, so "they" could easily be choosing what to share, too. ]
Hopefully it won't come to that. If we do get busted, we'll make sure your friend gets away. All right?
Considering how long it takes to really accumulate enough to buy a ticket off? Some people have probably been here for a while. They would know more than us.
[ She should bother Mako on that more, honestly. ]
It's no problem. I'd hate to see it happen to one of my friends, if I were in that position.
It doesn't sound like it, no. They're supposed to get jobs or... Well, I suppose people do have the option to buy them, but I really don't like that idea.
[ Of course, she can understand someone wanting to take their friend out of poverty, but...owning another person? ]
