[akito]

There are a lot of new people on the network, so hello! I'm Akito!

Welcome to this super weird place!

Make sure to watch out for the psychopaths and the toilets!


I started up an extreme parkour and skating account on Instagram since people were interested... The username is 'sharkour' and I update whenever I think of it!

Does anyone want to be SnapChat friends?

I also have a Twitter now! Does anyone know of good accounts to follow? Right now it seems really lame...


A question for people with passive abilities! How do you manage them? Do you have any control of them? If you do, did you always or did you have to work at it?

That's everything! Thank you.

((ooc: just assume the social media names he uses are whatever name they are in this world! :|b))

Toilets?

[ As far as warnings go, wow, that's a new one. ]

I had to work at it, but I think that goes for just about any type of ability you could have. Secondhand knowledge says that stuff like flying is easy; it's braking that's hard.

[akito]

Yeah toilets!
They are sentient right now.
I put a video of mine on Instagram

I think a good comparison is...
Like how some people are tone-deaf and others have perfect pitch, or are just average.
Can a person with perfect pitch control it?
Something like that...

[walkingballpit]

Sentient toilets.

[ Whelp, there goes any chance today had at being quasi-normal. ]

I guess I'm shit out of luck until someone fixes that.

See, it depends on what you mean by control. The person with perfect pitch can't CONTROL it, but, then again, they only know something's off pitch if they know what it's supposed to sound like, and they only know which note is called what with some practice. It's not really 'control', but it's making the most of it.

[akito]

I guess I mean control like turning it off when you need to...

[walkingballpit]

Oh.

[ He hadn't considered that her power - and Robbie assumes they're talking about her - could be so bad that she'd want to turn it off. It's not something you want to wish on anyone. (That her power could be good, and she wants it off anyway, doesn't occur to him at all.) ]

Most of the people I know with passive powers... they can't turn them off. They're always super-strong, water-breathing, or radioactive or whatever. Sometimes, it can be really difficult for them to deal with.

[Boy is that aggressive self promo-ing familiar-- he almost misses Cassie.]

wow. i see you're really holding back on the social media there.

[akito]

[ this is what happens when you give him unlimited mobile networking and nothing else interesting to do. bad move, world!! ]

If I'm trapped in this lame version of America I'm at least going to visit everywhere else via the internet!

It's easy to keep up with everything social media on my phone when there's nothing else to do.
Plus maybe I could get a cool job in extreme skating this way! :D

[pummelling]

[several instagram videos later]

either that or a one-way ticket to the ER. do you know what you're doing on that thing??

[akito]

Does it look like I went to the ER?

[ they make olympians look like amateurs ok. It is the only thing Akito is reaaaally confident in aside from looking cute! ]

[bestever]

I'm sorry, watch the what and the what?

[akito]

[ audio for audio then! his voice is more reminiscent of an adolescent girl than a teenage boy, which matches up pretty well with his overall tone in text. ]

Watch out for the psychopaths - there is at least one, but I'm positive there are more than that - and the toilets. The toilets are new though, since they only recently became sentient!

audio;

[bestever]

[sssssiiiiigh.] You know? I've had a lot more experience with one of those than the others, and I'm not sure whether I'd trade.

sorry for the wait! been moving in to my first apt @u@

[akito]

...You come from a world with toilets, ne?

[melavasomniar]

Instagram? SnapChat? Twitter?

The longer I'm here the more I think I understand, until someone posts something like this.

[akito]

They're different kinds of social media
Kind of like this network but in different formats!

[melavasomniar]

Oh! I see. What makes them all different enough to be worth having?

[akito]

Instagram is more for pictures and short video
Twitter is for short text and pictures
Then YouTube is for videos and SnapChat is like texting but with images plus text
Only with SnapChat there is a limited time you have the message!
It's really fun!!
Different kinds of social media for different kinds of people

Are you cute? You sound cute. If you're cute, I'll add you.

[ Cuteness is very important when you're shallow. ]

[akito]

[ akito isn't (very) shallow, but he does know for a fact that he's very cute. the sun is warm, the sky is freedom, ikki has a nice butt, and he is cute. #facts. ]

Un, I am! Why does that matter though?

[dicktate]

[ He doesn't wanna follow uggos. ]

Because I am incredibly handsome, and if you are ugly that would be cruel to me.

[akito]

[ ...huh. what a weirdo. it's a good thing he's not agito, because that definitely would end up unpleasant. ]

Oh. Hopefully your standards aren't too high, ne? Otherwise your life would be filled with cruelty!

[excitababble]

What kind of passive abilities are you talking about?

[akito]

The kind that you don't really notice at first
But then it starts being very noticeable

[excitababble]

Things you can't turn off and on?

[akito]

Yeah!
Like if someone had heightened hearing and it gave them lots of headaches
So they needed to turn it off or control it somehow!
