[a bit later, because she's not used to phones and is not great at typing, so it takes some time - ]

i apologize. i dropped my phone and must have hit some of the letters as i caught it.

[petalbursts]

[ ruby smiles at her phone, she's been there before. ]

no problem! glad you caught it!

[countermeasures]

wow, you send these messages so fast!
are you from a place that had phones already?

[petalbursts]

yeah! back home we call them scrolls though. it's how we keep in touch with each other.

i guess you don't have them where you're from then?

[countermeasures]

no, we don't

we can write letters, but it takes some time for them to be delivered. nothing so instantaneous as this.

[though this isn't really instantaneous because it keeps taking her a long time to text]

[petalbursts]

well you're doing a really good job so far!

letters are a lot of fun to write too, i've been writing tons lately.

[ ruby is proud of her. ]

[countermeasures]

thank you! it will just take some getting used to

they're fun to write? i suppose it must seem like a novelty when you have communication as convenient as this

[petalbursts]

if you ever need some help with it, i'm here!

that's true! using our scrolls is a little difficult now, after uh...but yeah! i really like writing them. :D

[countermeasures]

really? i appreciate the offer. thank you.

it's difficult now? is everything alright?

[petalbursts]

you're welcome!!

ahaha...i guess it depends on how you look at it. uh...

[ there's a pause, before another message comes thru. ]

1/4 of the communication towers were destroyed, so it's been kinda hard if you're travelling between kingdoms.

[countermeasures]

oh... i see

[she is assuming from context that the communication towers are necessary for the scrolls to work]

that's unfortunate
i hope they're able to fix it soon.

[petalbursts]

[ she would be correct! ]

thanks, i do too.

[countermeasures]

:)

[and then, a little later: ]

have you been settling in alright here?

this is all a lot to take in

[petalbursts]

[ oh! she wasn't expecting any more texts, this makes her smile. ]

i think so? there's so much going on all the time, it's hard to keep up.

how have you been doing?

[countermeasures]

i've been alright. it's been better since earlier today.

the piece of clothing in the bags we were given is very warm.

[petalbursts]

that's good to hear!

oh yeah, the sweaters! the meme part made me laugh and they're pretty cozy, which is a plus!

[countermeasures]

meme? is that what the pictures on them are called?

[petalbursts]

yeah! it's a silly saying or picture, usually. it's meant to make you laugh! :D

[countermeasures]

oh! like a joke :)

[petalbursts]

yeah! exactly! :D

[countermeasures]

thank you for talking with me today miss ruby!
i feel like i learned a lot...

about memes and about how to use this phone!

[petalbursts]

you're welcome! if you ever need help with the phone, i'm here!!

you're doing great, jiuqing!! :3

[countermeasures]

thank you! :)

let's both keep doing our best!
