Third Kunai: [Text/Video/Action Celadon] Whoops

[itsjustdust]

[The first several lines of the message are in text.]

See, at first I thought this was really cool. But now, it seems to be stuck on this setting. In fact, it seems to be getting even lighter every time I use punctuation. It's not just me right? It's really doing that?

[It's at this point that the feed switches over to video, and shows him leaned up against his ponyta, who seemed to find it entertaining to eat his chips when he's not looking.]

So some help would be REALLY NICE. How do I make it stop?

...Obito, why?

[His eyes, augh. He didn't even know those colors could hurt]

[video]

[itsjustdust]

It was a really near shade at first! Then it started to get lighter and lighter. Should I text more? I SHOULD! It will go around green maybe and back to a darker color, YES!

[video]

[darkaura]

And what if it just turns white?

[video/text]

[itsjustdust]

I can check! Just a sec!

[And then he was typing before another word could be said, using his hand speed for evil to do it quickly.]

Okay it seems lighter. And lighter. I think you might be right. I'll try a bit more though. Is it working? I think it's working! Not much easier to read though is it?

[Oh my god, she kind of hates you completely right about now. She doesn't even know you and she hates you. This is why she doesn't bother with this stupid thing very often - ]

Oh, no, it's just you. Completely and utterly just you.

[........]

Don't do that again.

[audio]

[itsjustdust]

Wait, so you can't see it changing colors? Maybe it's just my screen?

I can check!

[audio]

[neurotoxined]

Didn't you hear me just tell you not to do it again?

[...you're totally going to do it again, aren't you.]

[...Ohai more colorful fonts that are bad for everyone's eyes. Here, have a mechanic, who admittedly doesn't know much about colored text nor was she familiar with devices like this back home, but... At least she's helpful?

Oh wait, these are touchscreen things too, so everything makes even less sense for this girl. How do things like this happen on touchscreen things?!]

I'd say check that none of the buttons is... Stuck at the bottom somehow, but I doubt that's the problem. Are you sure you don't have some -- [so tempted to make a gesture as if her head is about to explode, but this really isn't so bad and should be a fun little trip into these devices to a mechanic. So, she'll just tilt her head a little.] -- automatic thing on which makes it go lighter all the time? [That might be the case even if he doesn't know about it. Sounds logical, kind of. He did mention being stuck on that setting, but... Why is it doing that is a good question!]

[video/text]

[itsjustdust]

I seriously have no idea. Ummm. [Here, have a smash of letters in white as he pokes at his gear.]

Yeah no, can't see anything.

[video/text]

[usedwrench]

I guess there's no checkboxes or something for it then. [Which makes it a little more difficult, but she'll try...]

It seriously won't let you do anything with it? Not even change it back to default?

[If it wasn't for the fact Misaki always kept an extra pair of sunglasses with her, she wouldn't been able to see anything at all. Curse her eyesight and this odd bright colored text!.]

Maybe some of the buttons are jammed? [She isn't an expert herself, to be honest. Her Banette is probably more experienced than her.]

[video]

[itsjustdust]

Well, I tried that, but people asked for mercy so I'm not sure that worked out how I wanted...

[video]

[brokenmemories]

Have you tried asking anyone who's with you?

[Twitch. Twitch. Twitch. Sollux is beginning to get really sick of people misusing the text color tool.]

I... don't even know.

That is a serious accomplishment.

video

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, I think so too. I think I might have sorta kinda worked it out, but it's still kinda wobby. I just gotta get through all the directions I got given I think. OH! Right. Pleased to meetcha, hi.

video

[viiru2alert]

What were the directions? And-- what the fuck did you do to make it do this in the first place? I... christ. [Sollux looks at the screen with a strange expression. He can't help but feel like maybe he can still fix it... mostly because he's developed a sort of complex for this kind of thing?]

Also, hi.

How the hell do you even fuck it up that much.

[Text]

[itsjustdust]

Hey, I think i twas just being glitchy! I didn't break it, it broke itself. ...I'm getting help with it.

[Text]

[shippingmath]

Good for you. I'll be generous and assume you haven't had a device like this to fiddle around with before.

Gold star that reads like jealousy I see.

[papshooshing]

HAHA, I SEE YOU KNOW HOW TO TOSS AROUND A JOKE LIKE FINNEON ESCAPING THE GRASP OF A FISHING URSARING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE MY TEXT QUIRK AND COLOR ALL UNDER CONTROL
UNLIKE SOME PRIMITIVE NOOKWHIFFING ASSCACTUS WHO FAILED IN THIS POSTING.
IT'S *MY* CULTURE THAT PRIMARILY USES THE COLORED TEXT FUNCTION.

[heartdive]

Maybe you should just stick to orange?

[itsjustdust]

That's the problem! It's... I have no control over it! I'm trying to fix it, Rin sent me these looong directions but uh... I kinda lost them.

[heartdive]

You probably should have saved them in the Gear, don't you think?
