When: 9/21
Where: Your PDAs.
Warnings: None for now, but potential mentions of death later.

My hand slipped, sorry. I'm super unused to these PDAs. Newfangled tech, am I right? I hope I didn't bother too many people. How's everyone doing tonight?

That's a cute face.

[Is she counting it or not, who knows.]

I know. (･ω<)☆

[ It probably is just as simple as scouting out others who might know ciphers, and certainly one could without having any real talent, but that's fine. ]

[dereban]

You use them often, I'm guessing?

Yeah. My coworkers love it, especially my partner. <(￣︶￣)> Do you want to see her favorites?

I'm not sure why, but she's always using these in her work emails: ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д<)*ﾟﾟ･｡ (╥﹏╥) ｡ﾟ(｡ﾉωヽ｡)ﾟ｡

But this is her favorite: /ᐠܻ ⑅ܻ᳘ ᐟ\ﾉ

She likes these too: ／(^ × ^)＼ ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ ⋋(‘Θ’◍)⋌ :.。✯*

That seems pretty unprofessional.

Do you have a favorite?

It might be. I guess you have to have fun at work, right? Do you not like them?

Hm. That's a tough choice. I like this one: ☆:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:☆

These are good too, don't you think? ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ ฅ(•ㅅ•❀)ฅ ＼(º □ º l|l)/

[rearranger]

You're right. The people I work with aren't really normal either, though... ＼(￣▽￣)／ It makes it more interesting, though. It's hard to be strictly professional when you see the same people every day.
