[For once, Joseph seems a little pensive. Sitting backwards on a chair with his arms crossed, he starts off with the most lack-luster greeting he's done.]

Hey, guys…

When someone doesn't answer their messages, it means they're not here anymore, doesn't it?

[He doesn't wait long enough for there to be an answer, and winds up just sighing.]

David Alleyne's gone, I guess.

…Alright. This just means I need to ask around instead. I need someone I can go to if I have questions on technology stuff. I'm doing pretty good on most things, but I had David if I had anything that was really stumping me, and now I don't, so! Who wants to be the lucky person to help me?

What is that?

[trickstar]

What, you don't know what a selfie is either?? Aren't you from this decade??

[rathercommon]

The last one. But I told you, we don't have computers where I'm from.

[trickstar]

You didn't tell me that!

Okay, a selfie is where you take pictures of yourself and you put them online and everyone tells you how hot you are.

[rathercommon]

I told you I'd just learned to type.

And that's ridiculous. People should have more self-esteem than that. They shouldn't need to be told that they're attractive. Definitely not by people on the internet.

[trickstar]

Typewriters exist. They're a thing you can type on before computers.

Woah, hey, watch what you're saying! I like it!

[rathercommon]

Why would you need to be told that you're attractive?

[trickstar]

Maybe I just like it. Do I need a better reason?

[rathercommon]

[ Eh. ]

I guess not. It just seems silly. Others' opinions matter much less than yours does.

[trickstar]

I already know I'm sexy. But being told it is better.

[rathercommon]

Well, what do you do if someone tells you you're not?

[trickstar]

...Well, nothing really, but it doesn't feel great.

[rathercommon]

Has anyone said that to you?

[trickstar]

... Not really! I've been called a jerk, bastard, asshole, but not unsexy!

[rathercommon]

Ouch. They can tell that just from a photo?

[trickstar]

Oh- no, I mean in person. I kind of had it coming, since I called one of those girls a hag...

[rathercommon]

Oh my God. Why would you call a girl a hag?

[trickstar]

It was a bluff for a vampire!

[rathercommon]

Hold on. You're going to have to explain that one.

[trickstar]

A vampire took a girl as a hostage, and I was faking not caring about her, so I called her a hag. It didn't work, and she was kind of mad after I saved her.

[rathercommon]

Oh.

That's kind of sweet, though.

[trickstar]

What is?

[rathercommon]

Pretending not to care to save her. That's very heroic-sounding.

[trickstar]

... Yeah, I guess.

[He doesn't particularly think of himself as heroic, though. Blame the Joestar blood.]

[rathercommon]

I have a question for you.
