that was my b retrospec is being stupid again and misfiring texts it was supposed to go to a stagehand since we're trying to figure out how to get this dress in without bending the hoops under the skirt lol it's HUGE
y e p and this is like lowkey on the scale of annoying shit this app can do nw though sometimes you can just not with hoop skirts since they're like welded into place pretty much made of metal and all
okay what's some of the most annoying shit the app does just so i know what to expect out of this but huh i'm guessing there isn't like just some bigger door you can go through to get this in right
connects you randomly to other people's vid feeds or feeds you their personal info/vice versa plays chirping cricket sounds endlessly locks all your other apps up until you do something stupid like play hopscotch also a while back a bunch of us got creepshots through the app like someone was stalking everyone at once, that sure was a wild ride
but yeah! there's a warehouse type door but i'd need to wait until someone else showed up since it takes an extra person to keep it open
holy fuck i'm seriously debating getting rid of my phone entirely if it means being free from this but i've heard that even that's not enough to get away from it?? what the fuck
and do you need that dress in asap or something? or do you just not want to wait around
yeaaah the app basically follows you no matter what you're using laptops tablets phones etc it'll even show up for you if you use public computers like the ones at the library but non-specs still won't be able to see it save yourself the money and hassle
really considering moving out into the fucking woods at this rate i've lived without nice tech before, it couldn't be too hard to do that again
[There's a bit of a pause before her next message. It's not like she cares about helping a stranger out, but also she's so bored. And she's kind of curious about what this dress looks like.
She needs some more hobbies tbh.]
where's this place at? unless you don't wanna wait for that either, but it probably beats waiting and hoping someone else shows up eventually
i mean you could try but there are ghosts out there (￣ー￣;;)
[Sometimes he hates this city and moments where he has to, in all seriousness, say "you can escape the tech but you won't be escaping the bullshit" is definitely one of them.
ANYWAY--]
omg you're the actual best ty!! i'll comp you a drink or snack at the cafe i work at (´꒳`) i'm just over at the east entrance on recolle u's campus! if you follow the signs to the art department and take a left before you get into the building, i'll be standing over by a big door at the storage warehouse looking thing
[He can't see it but he can probably imagine that she has her head in her hands like HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS BE HAPPENING. God this is the worst, and if everyone's telling the truth, she hasn't even seen half of the bullshit in store for her.
She's definitely not ready for this. Gr....eat..........]
you don't need to thank me i'm just bored but alright i'll head there now, i shouldn't be more than like 15min
[As we mosey on into action...?! When she reaches the area though, he might recognize her as a customer from the cafe. She comes by fairly often at least.]
[TRULY TRAGIC. He'd normally offer the solace that at least they're all suffering together, but that still doesn't really help soften the blow of ghosts, unreality, freaky memories...
BUT. He looks like he's in a pretty good mood when she shows up, despite her griping. And he does indeed recognize her, raising a hand after spotting her.]
Hey! Thanks for showing up anyway, you're a lifesaver. It's Rose, right? [Since he remembers the app, but he's also probably written her name on her drinks before...] I thought I recognized your picture, but I wasn't sure.
Yep, that's me. You can call me Kiyomitsu or Kiyo!
[Which he may have already said before, who knows, he's a very chatty barista... He'll gesture to the two handles on opposite sides of the door near the ground after that, though. It's built similarly to a garage door; segmented, and capable of being lifted up from the ground by two people.]
Could you get the other side? This shouldn't take too long with the two of us.
[And lifting! She'll find it's actually not hugely heavy. The problem seems to be with the door itself; it dips down in the center, since it's so old. Most likely, if someone tried to open it alone, they wouldn't be able to get both sides off of the ground and would have to do some weird door-wiggling voodoo dance to get it to work. Kashuu's not about that "looking like an idiot in public" life.]
There's a little hook-looking thingy on the side of the door up near your right. D'you see it? You can just lift the edge up and rest it in there.
[HE CAN'T DO THAT, HE CARES TOO MUCH ABOUT APPEARANCES!!
But with the door secured on her end, he'll secure it on his, too. After pushing it a bit to make sure it really won't come crashing down on them and smushing them, he steps back.]
Whew! Thanks a bunch. Actually-- D'you mind staying here for a second while I go get the dress, too? I don't wanna have any idiots come poking around in here just 'cause they see the door open.
[His faith in the freshmen on campus is not high.]
[There's a snort of inelegant laughter before she nods.]
Sure, I don't mind. I dunno what kids here are like, but given how people are in general, I don't blame you. [In fact when he gets back, she's probably telling a few nosy freshmen to fuck off.]
[LORD... He just heckin lets her tell them to fuck off though, honestly, because he's also got a mild asshole streak. In fact, he seems to find it funny, punkass that he is.]
Ah, wow, you really don't pull your punches at all... Thanks for holding down the fort!
[And with him, he's sure got a giant gown. Like, the kind of thing you could fit multiple people under; definitely a struggle to get through doors, especially since the caging underneath the skirts is made of metal. It's very intricately and beautifully decorated, too, with lace and frills and what appears to be hand embroidery all along the base. He'd definitely not want to risk any of those getting caught on a door and tearing all of the charmeuse.]

Sure thing. [With that though, she'll move to the other side of the door, poised to lift it whenever.] You ready?

Mmhm! On three, okay? One... two... three!

Yeah, just gimme a sec— [And after spotting it easily, she does just that and sets the door to rest it.] That should be good.
