Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.

[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]

Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!

LOOK. HERE.



CAN ANYONE SEE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO TEXT SOMEONE AND EVERY TEXT I [Sounds of fingers furiously tapping] TRY [More tapping] I GET [TAPPING]

[Darin is drowned out by the sound of wind because he did, in fact, throw his phone.]

[He will retrieve it shortly once it lands.]

When didja get that pic of me?

thearchangel: (maybe i do need glasses)

Do you want an answer to your tech issues or not?

[So, yes, yes it is.]

[ There's a very long, very loud sigh. When did she even make a face like that? Darin truly works in mysterious ways. ]

... Send me that pic of Garrus.
thearchangel: (oh jfc sir please)

[personal profile] thearchangel 2025-04-25 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll pass, thanks.

I don't care to be reminded of my station in life, but I suppose it could be worse.

Like that picture. Could you not have found a more flattering one? I don't even remember taking that one.

...Are you sure you're actually connected to the network? Usually messages can't be delivered because of connectivity issues.

[He's not going to address...any of the rest of this.]

What, your problem of not being able to text your girlfriend?

[He's not gonna act like he doesn't see Zelda's name. Were you really expecting him to offer advice without some gibes involve

It's also possible her phone is disconnected. Is your girlfriend the only one you can't text?

[Never let it be said Kaveh does not have an eye for detail.]
