Gunsli as a Mikoto enjoyer you must be losing your shit now that his second trial is drawing closer and closer! You're going to avidly defend him, right?
Meanwhile
Me *carrying a large stick around the panopticon*: FUTA, MU I JUST WANT TO TALK COME OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT HERE!
Futa & Mu: We're not on trial anymore-
Me: The phones...
Them: Huh?
Me: WHOSE FUCKING PHONES ARE THESE?!
Them: ?!
Me:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well?! Any answers?
Mu: You already did this with me during my trial?!
Yeah, it wasn't really about you it was just for the bit-
So, huh Futa?! Huh whose phone, is it?! Because I know this isn't your phone for several reasons!
So, let's run this down from the beginning-
Question 1
Which cellphone is Futa's?
Sorry, to disappoint but in the battle between iPhone and Android Futa is firmly on the side of Android.
This is made abundantly clear by the fact that unlike Yuno who owns wireless earbuds, Futa's owns wired ones. Something not supported on Apple devices since 2016.
Tumblr media
So, why did someone who owns an android phone have what appears to be an Apple charger plugged into his laptop near that flash drive? Well chances are he hooked up that iPhone to his computer to get some information off the phone, erase that information, then move it from his laptop to that flash drive.
We also know this iPhone isn't Futa's because he displays the UI of his actual phone while looking through the color inverted version of twitter-
Tumblr media
At which point we can see his UI is completely different from the phone we see breaking at the end of Bring It On.
Futa's phone is also put on full display at the beginning of Bring It On and in other instances showing multiple physical discrepancies between it and the phone that breaks at the end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From camera placement to general make of the phone and the brightness on the red of the phone case. All things that have remained consistent over the course of Milgram. Making it more apparent which phone is his.
Question two,
Why would Futa take someone else's phone and what information could he need?
He states what he needs and what he's using the phone for at the beginning of Bring It On,
"Found one…! Countdown till I make you say sorry. Let’s go! A victory march! Dan-Da-Dan. Eat this! Don’t act like you have no idea! We won’t forgive you. You’re the crazy one! Ban-Ba-Bang." - "All evil hypocrites should disappear. I won’t stop until you say “sorry”. Now let’s begin to hunt down the liars."
He's using it to get information on the people involved in the incident and track them down.
The rest of the members of the party he was working with for a time. That ended up putting all the blame for that incident on him. This is probably why he's not hanging out with them when he goes to the arcade and is instead watching from a distance.
Using the situation to get rid of two people at once since the hat girl was possibly involved with the group as well hence the line,
"Flames closing in, are both sides losers?"
Tumblr media
"Fuck it! You won’t be forgiven; it was stupid licking each other’s wounds." - "You can’t escape, how do you like the taste of punishment." - "You gotta be kidding, I’m an undead hero!"
I've already speculated that Futa's murder was the result of him reacting to the outcome of the hat girl situation and that Futa and this other victim were a part of the same group before.
(I have made way too many posts on Futa: X, X, X, X, X, X, X and many more. Back to the topic at hand though.)
However, the hat girl could have been uninvolved with the group as well. Yet, taking into consideration the very targeted and extreme harassment the group is depicted doing in Backdraft while Futa is looking on in shock and terror I think it's hard for me to not consider this being personal in some way.
That display perfectly calls back to these lines of Futa's in Bring It On,
"I won’t stop until you say “sorry”." - "Now, let’s be reasonable. We are the ones that blow the horn for justice. We will punish you down, this is a warning."
Futa has made it abundantly clear he only does this until the other party apologizes or backs down. Something the hat girl was already doing while the others continued to attack her anyway.
In Backdraft, Futa also spray paints the ones who did this in black as they were doing it. Then we see their tags on the image of the victims have been spray painted over on the wall with black as well once it cuts to the girl.
Tumblr media
Black is used as the color to highlight the words on Futa's second trial CD as well,
Tumblr media
I believe this color is being used to highlight Futa's version of justice. Just as he says in the voice drama that Es and him are no different, both simply stating that something was bad and things going out of control.
Adding to this Es (and the audiences) judgement of Futa is represented with the same color at the end. As if visually stating the judgement the audience gave to Futa should actually be given to these people instead and reiterating the little difference Futa sees between what he did and what Es and the audience is doing now.
Backdraft even going as far as to have the eyes behind Es be the same color as the spray paint, the people in the group are portrayed using to harass that girl. Making it seem as though by punishing Futa we're supporting the people who did this instead of the other way around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This makes Futa's question of,
"Should I succumb, make your wish come true?"
Come off as though he's not only speaking about Milgram (Es, and the audience), but the others involved in the harassment of that girl who may have begun doing the same to Futa hoping he'd react in a similar way to their previous victim.
Something alluded to through this image and messages at the end of Bring It On.
Tumblr media
QRT Storm Pazuzu (=Futa)            I think I’ve got all her details now. Based on her previous tweets I’ve worked out her school. The fact she lives so close is hilarious lol Judgement☨Onizuka You’re the worst offender of all.
"Full of yourselves, are you?" - "Bye bye idiots and devils with the faces of angels." - "You gotta be kidding! I’m the real hero!" - "You gotta be kidding, I’m an undead hero!" - "You’re the crazy one! Ban-Ba-Bang!"
Also we see in Bring It On through Futa's inverted colored phone screen that his icon looks like blue fire or mirrors JudgementOnizuka's normal colored one and vice versa. Implying some sort of connection between the two of them.
Tumblr media
It's also telling that Futa is represented by fire and Onizuka water especially given the repeated line of,
"Can't douse this fire."
Within Backdraft.
The lyrics,
"Don’t get cocky, you in that cypher!"- "Holler-holler from safety, so worthless."
These lines can not only refer to the audience or Es but the people he used to hang out with or individuals getting overzealous/too confident with their harassment online. Something the group he used to be in did.
Backdraft also shows off Futa's willingness to just fight head-to-head about it through the line.
"The fight’s up here! Come up to the ring and face me!"
Tumblr media
"You won’t be forgiven, a coward, never!"
Question 3
How did he get the phone? Whose is it?
"Are both sides losers?" - "The fact she lives so close is hilarious lol."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's more than likely the hat girl's phone. Just like the phone we see get smashed in After Pain appears to have belonged to Mu's victim and former friend. Once again, making this another way Futa and Mu parallel each other and why they were paired up.
If the hat girl were also in the group or followers of these people before she began getting harassed, Futa would have an easier time looking over, keeping up with, and figuring out who was responsible for the harassment. That is if he did get her phone after she died.
It would also be similar to how Mu's victim seems to have been involved with Mu or the friend group Mu was in before she passed away as well. However, the phone could belong to Futa's actual victim then when we see it falling to the ground and breaking in Bring It On could be during the altercation portrayed in Undercover.
One thing is for sure Futa and Mu both use breaking phones as imagery for silencing others-
Tumblr media
That and they both have a very firm grasp of framing.
Futa would still be able to look over old interactions he was in from his own phone. So, like with Mu in After Pain and It's Not My Fault there may be some playing around with time. In fact, I think there may be playing around with time present in all the prisoner's music videos that becomes more overt depending on the prisoner's personality.
In Futa's case, this is probably why the interactions on his own phone have those inverted colors while the interactions on the one we see break later does not. This coloring choice could denote that these interactions happened before what we are witnessing now. You know how flash backs are usually put in grey or muted colors.
Just as it's implied through After Pain that the messages on Mu's phone happened before her bullying. Futa just goes about displaying this in a vaguer manner.
There are also these things from Bring It On as well that I covered elsewhere before, but I believe it was in reply to someone else's post or something because I can't find it in my archive.
Tumblr media
These read,
WARNING [FUTA'S TWITTER ICON] "CONGRATULATIONS [REDACTED]! YOU BROUGHT JUSTICE TO THE WORLD!!! CONGRATULATIONS [REDACTED]? YOU BROUGHT JUSTICE TO THE WORLD???" WARNING [FUTA'S TWITTER ICON] CONGRATULATIONS [REDACTED] YOU BROUGHT [REDACTED] TO THE WORLD!!! CONGRATULATIONS [REDACTED]? YOUR BROUGHT [REDACTED] TO THE WORLD???
I also mentioned this before with this but again can't find it but on the map during the final fight we can see Futa's indicator moving away while appearing to spawn back in.
Tumblr media
Also the D in world is styled after his twitter icon-
Tumblr media
And at the beginning of Bring It On his phone switches between the Bring It On screen and his twitter feed each time the video glitches before he heads out-
Tumblr media
So, yeah- Some credit for all the work Futa did trial one trying to cover up the truth is long overdue.
Whelp that's it. Fuck you Futa for pulling one over on me though really thought that was his phone he dropped.

Hypatheticly.
If I have someone's phone can I like... "link it" to my phone so I know what they're up to.
Yknow just incase something happens to them?
Any help you got would help.
~ @lots-of-c-love
there's a lot of ways to do that. it's easiest if this person has an android or apple phone (versus a flip phone or something, that you'd have to research a lot more). i'd recommend researching tracker apps and find what works best for you. get apk files instead of downloading from any app stores (you'll need something to convert apk files if it's an apple phone) because those usually leave icons that are easy to find... you don't want this person discovering a new app in their app center or something. even if it's cleverly disguised, it's still using storage and data and could be easily identified if they get suspicious. so you have to be careful.
if you already have this person's phone, it's just as easy as installing one, as long as you find an app that works. i'm assuming you're not good at coding if you're having to ask for advice on this. so you'll probably have to pay for one from someone who's better. (i just made my own.) you can also disguise links that'll auto-install apps. just send them one of those.
most apps will either create links where you can store data you get from their phone, or will send data to a matching app on your phone if you connect it correctly. the link version is easier, in case you have to access data from a different device. but that's just my preference.
those are my basic suggestions. feel free to ask/dm if you have more questions. do some research on your own if you need to.

Do you ever see yourself using two monitors? I think with the sort of thing you do, it would make your life a lot easier
I don't often see the appeal. I mean, I dunno. I do, but the appeal also seems limited?
Like, while Twitch streaming? Definitely see a use there. I use something called Touch Portal that turns an old Android Tablet into a "Stream Deck" type device where I get a bunch of buttons to manage my stream. One of those panels is chat, but it's not as good as real live Twitch chat. If I get a spam bot or something, I still have to tab out of the game and load up a browser to deal with it.
If I could just leave the Twitch chat tab up on another monitor, that would be less of a problem.
Video editing, I suppose, could also help. Having the timeline, preview, and library all on the same screen can feel a little cramped sometimes. If I could spread some of those out so I had more room to show the timeline, that might also be nice.
The rest of the time? Eh. I feel like I can be a pretty cluttered person. A second monitor would just spread the clutter out and might make it worse. But I guess I don't really know that for sure.
Friends have tried to nudge me towards a second monitor but their examples (watching Twitch on a second screen, etc.) is something I already do. I technically have two monitors.
I have the monitor my PC is connected to, a 1600x900 ASUS VE208. I bought it in 2011 with the very first payout I ever got from monetizing my Youtube channel. It was my first flat panel ever, after my last CRT physically exploded (sparks shot out of the side of the monitor before an audible pop and then smoke). The VE208 cost about $125 then, and has really great color and was very low latency in an era where latency on LCDs could be pretty bad (bad enough that an entire website sprung up with recommendations on low-lag displays, which is what I used to choose this monitor in particular).
Probably worth mentioning, but the VE208 has been getting kind of weird. Even beyond just feeling kind of dark, a couple times over the last year it's blinked out mid-display and turned into colored snow almost like an old CRT. It usually sits on the snow signal for a second or two and then returns to normal. Totally unprompted.
Sitting next to me on my left is a Vizio TV my Mom bought for me in... 2014? 2015? It's 1080p but not the greatest screen in the world. Has weird color banding issues with certain shades of green (the unit isn't defective, my Mom got her the same TV, with the same problem). That's the TV where all my game consoles get hooked up, and everything also feeds into the PC so I can hear the TV through the same headphones I hear the PC.
Both the ASUS monitor and the Vizio TV are about the same size. I think the monitor is 20 inches and the TV might be 22 or 24 inches?
So generally I am watching Youtube or Twitch on the TV, either using the PS4 or my Roku, and I have the web or my work up on the computer monitor. It's not the same, but I'm also not dying in a desert of only one screen.

Personal commentary... Probably a week or two ago now, I was heading down the driveway when my smart phone went completely haywire. It was opening apps and scrolling uncontrollably. Mostly apps I never use, but I could only see them briefly as they flashed by. It dialed and called my friend (who I almost never call) 17 times if I remember correctly. Almost like I had logged hundreds of swipes and key-strokes that were all suddenly executing at once, or in quick succession one after another.
I began trying to restart the phone to stop the activity, but the screen wouldn't stay long enough for me to get in the strokes. I was eventually able to restart and it was over. Not sure if this event was the type of attack described in the article above, but seems worth mentioning. I still have no idea what happened to my phone that day.
From the piece:
Turning off Bluetooth entirely when out in public might seem like a reasonable idea following the discovery of two new vulnerabilities that put iPhones, Android smartphones, Macs and other devices at risk of attack. While the first vulnerability, known as BLUFFS, could allow an attacker to impersonate your devices. The second could be exploited by hackers to take full control of your devices, as if they were paired to a Bluetooth keyboard. As reported by Dark Reading, this newly discovered critical Bluetooth vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2022-45866) is a keystroke injection flaw that works by tricking your smartphone or computer into pairing with a fake keyboard. To make matters worse, this fake keyboard can connect to your devices without confirmation from you.

A new search for rp friends!
I decided that it's high time I make a blog SPECIFICALLY for writing, since I do so much of it. It seems odd to have my fandom/regular blog or one of my aesthetic or resource blogs have RP searches run through it... and there hasn't been much success for me doing it that way either. I figure, heck, when I get the writing itch and decide to put together a blurb, be it fiction or nonfiction, I can slap it in this bad boy and label it as a sample or something. Aaaand.... I can also post about actual RPs I'm in, post searches.... you know. As you do. So anyways!! I'm Disco, 30, nb, and use they/them. I prefer writing semilit to lit, but am aware that sometimes plot doesn't call for massive amounts of text. I'd rather us move our story along in a way that feels good than get stuck in a loop of mirroring or dialogue just to fill up space. I'm fine with ghosting, so don't worry about that with me. I'll rp pretty much anywhere, but usually it's on discord. I enjoy both fandoms and originals. I'll play any gender/role for the most part, and am open to canons, ocs, you name it. I will only rp with other adults, and depending on the content of the RP, I may restrict to 25+, for my personal comfort. Sorry kiddos- get off my lawn!!!! Generally I write in third person past tense, but I'll experiment with other methods here and there. If you have any questions for me other than the stuff above, feel free to send me a chat! If you wanna vibe check me, chat me and I'll link you to my main account to scroll around- promise I don't bite. :'3 Finally, I'll just kinda slap some of the plots that are currently on my mind and follow it up with the fandoms I'm currently interested in RPing! If you have any group ops that I might be into... lemme see! Let me know if you're interested in discussing- or even just making friends! (plots are next, scroll all the way down for fandoms!)
Plots & Blurbs: monsters. vampires. evil. Light does not always mean good.
A lich desperately tries to remember his past.
A ghost living in a home pc falls in love with the pcs user.
A train hopping crust punk meets a ghost while on the run.
A fallen star is caught and kept.
A faerie and a goblin meet.
Magic or monster schools
Arranged marriages
A princess falsely accused of murder goes on the run.
A prince in disguise has taken on a life of crime. Ah shit we accidentally caused the apocalypse.
Stowaways? On my vessel? Its more likely than u think.
Androids have feelings now and it sucks.
fairy or elf / vampire or other dark creature vampire / human god / mortal demon / angel or other dark/light archetypical pairings dragon / humanoid naval captain / stowaway mob boss / citizen superhero / supervillain serial killer / investigator serial killer / citizen Bounty hunter/outlaw outlaw/sherriff outlaw/outlaw farmhand/outlaw
-An apocalypse/post apocalyptic world where either:- high magic used to exist and power the world & inexplicably ENDED. Hijinx ensue.- there used to be no such thing as magic and now suddenly there is SO GODDAMN MUCH of it. Hijinx ensue.
-A prince or princess flee the castle to make their own mark on the world against their parent's wishes. It turns out that the world is actually a horrifying place, and they probably wouldn't survive if it wasn't for meeting... insert character here.
- There's something dire down in the mines to the east of this old Western town. Folks keep goin' in to investigate, disappearin' for days at a time, then comin' back all different-like with the lights gone from their eyes. What could be happenin' out there, sheriff? (horror/western)
- A high-fantasy world's balance is shattered when the source of magic is destroyed. How will the people of this mystical land navigate a now mundane life, and how can they survive when so many magical devices go defunct and awry? - A no-magic world is suddenly spun into chaos: an apocalyptic event leads to the sudden introduction of magic into a world that had previously never known it. In the post-apocalyptic (and mystically-charged) ashes of a world that once was, how do the survivors compete for resources and control? - A star falls from the sky! They're rare, and it's dangerous to be one. Are you the star, hunted and lost? Or are you someone who finds a star? - A lich (my character) is rumored to live in the castle at the foot of the mountains, only a mile or so from your town. It's said they're a true villain, the worst of the worst... but what is the truth? -Arranged Marriages between physical embodiments of the seasons or planets -A sailor, pirate, or other seafarer keeps noticing the same shape in the waters near their ship. After a terrible storm, the ship wrecks… now, one’s a mermaid, one’s a sailor, and they’re both idiots trying to find their way back home. -Disaster has struck! A grisly assassination attempt leads a bodyguard to quickly usher their liege to safety. Drama ensues! -In a dwindling-magic world, those who cling to the olde magicks and the old way of living struggle against the new capitalist society and its nonmagic technology. In one still-magickal neighborhood where our story takes place, shopkeepers fight against nonmagickal gentrification in an effort to keep their businesses, communities, and traditions alive. - An ancient evil has been kept locked in a gem for thousands of years. This being once nearly brought about the end of the world- and its power, if freed or put in the wrong hands, could cause the same all over again. What a shame that its prison has just been found and sold once again!
Fandoms: Legend of Zelda Super Mario Bros (the whole universe- just all of it lmao) Elder Scrolls Red Dead Redemption Left 4 Dead Game of Thrones Labyrinth Homestuck ATLA/LOK Pokemon Star Wars Danganronpa MCU DC a whole lot more, so feel free to shoot your shot. I'm into video games, card games, board games, both western and eastern animation, movies and shows in general, sci fi, fantasy, etc etc etc. It's worth a try, right?

Guys.... I don't know who else needs to hear this. Or who else is also suffering like I am right now... But can we STOP with the reliance on computers!!!! Just..... *Sighs* bad language and lots of rage under the cut...
I'm not talking about technology, would be hypocritical, I mean keyboard and mouse, full package material computers. Why am I beyond fucking pissed right now? Well I'll tell you.
Yesterday I mentioned how I discovered Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force was a thing. Today, I discovered that all 6 can be downloaded onto a PSP emulator. And that said emulator is easily installed through the app store. So far so great right? Oh no. What's the first thing that pops up when you click "where do I get games?" It takes you to your phone/tablets browser and essentially goes. "If you're on Android, download the file on your computer and transfer it to your device."
Hehehe.... Heres a crazy thought? If all it needs is a .iso file? Which it does. And those files are easily downloaded through the same browser you just opened up.... Which they are.... And, I can't stress this enough, if you're going to make an emulator available on Android devices.... WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TELL ME TO USE MY COMPUTER!!!
Seriously! Don't you think that if I had the ability to open these files on a computer that I would... Oh I don't know.... USE THE EMULATOR ON THE FUCKING COMPUTER!!! There's one available, I saw the link right above the description of what to do on Android.
"But blog owner?" I hear you ask, "didn't you say you could download the files on your phone anyway?" Indeed I did. "Well then what's the problem?"
Very good question my friends. You see... There wouldn't be a problem. Files downloaded fine, emulator runs them fine (well unless it's a USA based file instead of a Europe one... Not sure what the issue with that was and didn't really have time to look into it before I got mad at the other problem.) But here's the thing... Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force? Suffers from this little issue I label "English speakers are either cheap. Or stupid."
You see. Tag Force has these wonderful little cuts everytime your opponent sets a card or draws or gets attacked. Lovely little immersion bits. However... When the review I watched said "They even got the Japanese voice actors, too bad they couldn't do the same for English." I assumed, like most probably would, that they DIDN'T get the GX voice actors to record those lines.... And well... They didn't.... They didn't get ANYONE to record those lines! So here I am, speeding through the duels because all I'm hearing is clicks and explosion like sound effects while reading, as if I turned off the voice volume somehow.
But okay, that's fine, no biggie. I'll just use the Japanese voices... Oh wait. I can't. Because, instead of letting the players listen to SOMETHING while reading the translations, they just coded the voice volume at zero... And here... Here's where I got even more pissed. Because there are fixes for this online, of course there is it's the internet. Even ones that are extra helpful and include the program you need to do the patching yourself so I'll just tap on that and.... Oh yeah. It's a .exe file. Android can't run executable files.
Putting aside WHY we need an OS to rub a single type of file, when most phones now are capable of running games that required multiple discs 10 years ago, not a single person. Not a one. Ever considered how you'd do this on an Android device. Even putting the word android into the search engine didn't help! Which wouldnt be so bad... If, as I JUST said, it weren't for the fact IT EXISTS ON THE FUCKING APP STORE!
But again... That'd be fine... Quick search to see if there's anything on the app store thatd run these files and... Oh would you look at that? I already have it installed. So, I decide to make things as easy for me as possible. Download all the .iso for all the games. Download all the patches to turn the voices on, as well as a translation for the game that wasn't released outside Japan, and I spend the better part of an hour or two waiting for the files to download. Extracting the files. Patching the files. Deleting the non patched files and the downloaded zip folders so it's not a complete mess. And then I open the first game again. It opens fine. Runs like before. Overwrite the old save data, enter my name again and.... The character models are now black squares.
At that point I deleted everything. Said fuck it all and permanently erased it, emptied the bin, everything. Now... Should I have only done it one game at a time? Probably. Should I have taken it slow and saw if it worked? Yes. But... And I can't stress this enough... When theres an app that exists (that you can buy an upgrade for btw, didnt even bother checking what that includes) and is known as the ONLY emulator that works for PSP games. And all these files need is to be downloaded... And ran... I don't think I'm at fault for assuming it would work...
Even if I'm not on A FUCKING COMPUTER THAT I SHOULDNT FUCKING NEED FOR SOMETHING THIS FUCKING SIMPLE!!!!

Charging battery
Funny thing when you want to stay in a place, but cannot stay because the battery is low, wow, there is a lot about battery talk today, usually forget about the crappy stuff, then just move on, so happy on thoughts while Cherie is live, sometimes when you leave a place, feels a little disconnected, not much though with some battery percentage in the device, this is really because I asked everyone in the chat line if they were okay I take Cherie, that went well. You could think of multiple things about a battery, the other device charging is not an issue, it is the android that is acting up, the android is fine, just certain users cannot use electronics, don't really want to get into a long battery discussion, just hitting me the users who are misusing electronics are getting caught in their wrong, that is why separation of people are happening, now that the egg cell is being rehabilitated where less usage will occur from dufus brains. I had a great thought of how I will spend time in MeetMe, it is kind of like the overnight Elder Scrolls hour except doing Elder Scrolls all night, when get mindset for egg cell, the stream just goes to a night light, there were some crazies looking last night, mostly men that should not have been watching, it is hoped that women will come into watch, that is the hope to channel a safe place for women to basically meet me on the app, just an imaginary thing for them, I won't be looking to date anyone in there, Cherie is what I looking forward from now on, there will probably be deep discussions about night streaming, I see it important for building a connection, that is an important thing to know, brings trust us both, I do not go to anyone else and she goes to one else, that makes sense, the night time is now being realized, a safe environment for people is important, so this will be fun, but look at what is going to occur in the beginning, there will be chaos, that is why this is being written, so the night feels a little more productive. The assumption is there were some scary men in the stream last night, taking a step back and giving thought to what happened, here is what needs to happen, females need show up in the stream because in the future, there will be more females than males in the stream. The next point of removing the males in the immediate times is to slow the minds down and make them think about why would a man come into stream? Multiple females in the stream every night will help out deteriorate the negative things occurring during the night, if you did not understand that, I want a female population in there currently for the purpose of allowing everyone that knows a person in a local area can see which man is looking for whatever reason. The reasons for this is a multitude of reasons in the subject leads into the next chapter of Elder Scrolls

Welcome to Cyber Cafe Chats with Plumes! Today's Brew: USB Condoms and Zero Day Vulnerabilities a plenty!
Hello everyone!
It's your new favorite System Admin here with a few digestable updates on security vulnerabilities on things you care about; that's right, it's time for a new section:
Plumes' Cyber Cafe Chats
Now, you're probably wondering what my Cyber Cafe Chats are all about. Good question! Honestly, I'm stilly defining it, but it's essentially breaking down the complicated news of the world of Cybersecurity and more in an easy, digestable format that's best enjoyed with your favorite blends and a steller vibe. So relax, get something warm to power through your Monday with, and let's chat.
Why do I keep hearing about "USB Condoms?"
If you've been watching the news lately, you've probably heard about "Juice Jacking" issues on the rise, but who would be stealing your precious Apple Juice? Well, it's not that different from your Grade School bully taking advantage of you, to be entirely honest. Just instead of something cool and delicious, it's your precious data or resources, which may or may not be more important to you. Personally, I prefer the white grape flavored profile data.
"Juice Jacking" refers to the the practice in which a malicious actors compromise a USB terminal, in this case the power terminals within coffee shops, airports, and other such public charging stations, to load malware onto your charging device. You see, your USB cable has two pairs of wires: one that handles power, and another that handles data; hackers use that data pair in order to install things like cryptominers, keyloggers, and sniffers alike to find what all you have on your device, and in some cases, extract it onto a store where they can access it later. There's no such thing as a free lunch, after all.
So, in order to protect yourself, you could get a USB Data Blocker such as the one linked, AKA a USB Condom. These specialized USB adapters have the data lines severed within them, and akin to their latex counterpart, block the flow of data from a potentially infected USB cord and hub from getting to your system.
That said, you can also employ the tried and true method of carrying your own charging equipment. If you use your own charging brick and USB to plug into one of these public charging stations, NOTHING can get across the AC/DC powerline to infect your machine. Or, if you're so on the go that sitting at a public charging station won't work for your busy lifestyle, a portable power bank such as the one listed here may suit all your needs. With some power banks even being able to charge multiple devices at once multiple times, you may find yourself even forgetting the brick and USB at home and not missing it whatsoever.
iOS Webkit Compromises, Android Vulnerabilities, and Chrome Memory Exploitations, OH MY
Now, before I wrap up our first Cyber Cafe Chat, I would like to bring your attention to a series of Zero Day Vulnerabilites that have been announced as of this past week, as well as asking the question: When is the last time you updated your device?
Zero Day Vulnerabilities, for those not in the know, are issues that were previously unknown to the provider that don't have a working fix yet; they've only been disclosed. Most of which receive patches that mitigate the damage, but until a fix is created and is provided to the public, hackers can exploit users who don't keep their devices up to date, and just such a thing has happened on our mobile world. You see, recently a pair of zero-day vulnerabilities were discovered on iOS devices listed below:
iPhone 8 and later,
iPad Pro (all models),
iPad Air 3rd generation and later,
iPad 5th generation and later,
iPad mini 5th generation and later,
and Macs running macOS Ventura.
These vulnerabilities are initiated by sending would-be victims text messages or emails with links that lead to a compromised website, in which either Chrome or WebKit vulnerabilities would be loaded based on the Operating System of the device. This vulnerability has already been patched out on Chrome as of October 2022, but has recently seen new life in the iOS sphere. That said, please take this opportunity to make sure your devices are up to date.
For iOS, that would be 16.4.1 – released on April 7th, 2023, while for macOS, that would be 13.3.1 also released on the 7th.
For Android, that would either be the March or April Update for Android 13, depending on your model. Google Pixel phones have yet to receive the April update, for example.
Additionally, a new zero day vulnerability was discovered within Chrome’s JavaScript engine, in which a threat actor could trigger browser crashes by memory exploitation as well as arbitrarily running code on infected devices. While the main targets identified in the attack thus far are high-risk individuals like politicians, journalists and more, we can’t be too cautious considering the clientele we work with, and the risk spyware would have on our machines.
Google has recently released a patch to fix this issue however, so I’d like to ask that you take a few minutes to update Chrome. Shouldn't take you more than a few minutes, so feel free to use that time to get some caffiene in you; you know your boy is about to do the same after writing all this out.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know!
It's honestly been an absolute pleasure writing this up for everyone, and I hope that you'll be able to use some of the information provided to protect yourself and others. And, if you liked this and want more easily digestable cyber information, I'd appreciate the follow! Still new to this whole blogging thing, so feel free to let me know how I can make this better for you as well! Until next time everyone...
I'll see you in the stars soon~!

How to get Microsoft 365 for Free
How to get Microsoft 365 for Free
Do you want to get your Microsoft 365 Plan for free? There are some options you should try first.
I know, the prospect of a free Microsoft 365 sounds kind of farfetched. But it’s not. If there is a legal way that you don’t have to pay, you’ll find it here.
Of course, one way is to simply get the free trial of Microsoft 365 if you don’t have it already. This is limited but will give you a chance to try it before you buy.
Here are some ways to get full edition of Microsoft 365
1. Get Microsoft 365 through your school
Microsoft offers Microsoft 365 Education for free through many schools and universities. If you are a student or educator, and your institution is eligible, all you need is a valid school email address.
This is a truly free version of Microsoft 365, and you should enjoy this benefit for as long as possible. In addition to your familiar MS apps, it comes with tools to encourage collaboration in the classroom, like Access, Sway, Teams, SharePoint, Stream, and Flow.
However, Microsoft will verify you are still an active educator or student. Once your Microsoft 365 Education plan expires, applications will become view-only after 30 days. After 60, you will lose access. To keep working, you will need to subscribe to Microsoft 365, or back up your files and use Office Online.
If you used to be a student, see if your school address will work. If not, access the alumni discount they offer for Microsoft 365 Personal.
2. Get the free trial of Microsoft 365
This is the easiest free option for accessing Microsoft 365. But it only lasts for a month. After that, you’ll have to begin a subscription or use one of the other methods here.
Remember to turn off recurring billing in your Account Settings unless you want to start paying.
Unlike the online version, when Microsoft 365 is installed locally you have full document editing capabilities offline. You can share the free Microsoft 365 trial version with up to five other people. Each person gets 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage, plus the ability to sync and share files across Windows, Apple, and Android devices.
This is a great option, but only for the short-term. You only get a single free trial per email and credit card, so unless you try to bend the terms of the license agreement, it’s a one-shot deal. Or is it?
3. Convince your company to get Microsoft 365
If your need for Microsoft 365 is strictly for work. And you constantly find yourself in need of full-versions of Word or Excel, you probably have a strong case to make to your employer.
Office Online is great, considering it’s free, but the lack of function or offline capability can be extremely frustrating. If these things are getting in the way and costing you time, it’s likely costing the company more money a subscription would.
This isn’t always going to work—but I told you we were looking at every option to get Microsoft 365 free of charge.
4. Free Microsoft 365 (with purchase of a PC)
Here’s an option that is not going to be right for everyone, but if you are in the market for a new computer, this could be an answer. Some PCs come with one year of Microsoft 365. This sometimes includes ultra-affordable laptops, and you still save $99 annually on an Microsoft 365 subscription.
One thing to make sure of is that you are getting what you want. Some computers will only come with Microsoft 365 Personal, and others may not even have an OS installed.
What about Office Online and Mobile?
Now you know how to get a free download of Microsoft 365, but I should mention two easy, free-forever Office options just in case they do the trick.
Get Office Online
Office Online is entirely cloud-based and works on most browsers. As long as you have the internet, you have access to familiar MS Office tools like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as Sway, OneNote, Outlook, Calendar, OneDrive, Forms, People, and Skype. Simply create an account and log in from anywhere to collaborate with anyone.
While Office Online doesn’t take up any space, the downside is that you need the internet in order to use the programs and your documents. If you can rely on wifi wherever you need it, this limitation isn’t so bad. Plus, you can always sync your computer with OneDrive so that files are automatically stored for offline access.
The features are greatly limited compared to Microsoft 365, but for personal use, it’s probably okay as long as you plan ahead. The extra logistics required to coordinate larger teams using Office Online, however, probably don’t end up saving much money.
Get the Office mobile app
The Office mobile app works on Android and iOS on your phone or tablet. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are combined into a single app that syncs with all of your devices that use Office.
You can download additional apps, which take up some space, but all of your documents are stored in the cloud. You’ll be able to create and sign PDFs, and edit documents, tables, and slides—but be aware that the editing features are limited without the Microsoft 365 subscription.
Similar to Office Online, the mobile app is okay for personal needs but quickly reveals itself wanting at the enterprise level.
Final note: If you have to pay… it’s really not that bad! In the end, Microsoft 365 is an extremely valuable set of programs. Getting it for $99/year is pretty amazing. and now there is a special offer for one year, one user, 5 devices on www.keyingo.com , and it is only $25 USD, if you can't access these free edition, don't miss this opportunity

Ask Answers: July 10th
I really let asks get away from me lately. I was super focused on working on that Patreon Moment. With that done I can finally think about doing other things, so here’s a new collection of answers!
Thank you for sending in questions everyone ^^.
For the new Patreon moment, will you be able to reference it in step 4? Or just like a tiny nod to it if you pick certain choices?
There won’t be. I’m sorry if you were hoping for that! The Patreon moment is meant to be entirely optional, it’s not something that gets you extra content in the main game.
Is the new CG artist the main one now? :0 I’ve noticed theres been a difference in the art style recently. Is the old CG artist still going to make art for the game? :0
The original artist still makes CGs for the game sometimes, but he mainly focuses on character sprites.
Are you going to put the NSFW our life moment on a website other than patreon? I would love to get it but I can't use patreon atm.
I don’t know. I'm afraid we can't release the Patreon Moment on a normal game storefront because we can't mix 18+ content with our family friendly game. If there's some other place similar to Patreon where it's not the normal type of full-scale public content releases we'd consider using that, but I’m not sure if there is another site that’s better than Patreon in that regard. I'm sorry.
Out of curiosity, in all of your games so far, which characters in each were the most fun to write? They obviously don't have to be your favorite characters!
Buffalo Seer in AFA, really everyone in XOD/XOBD is pretty equally entertaining to write, The Guide in LoV, and Cove in OL!
idk if you accept "personal" questions, but is there anything you've been watching/ listening to lately
Mostly, I’ve been watching/listening to Authortube videos as of late! It’s people who talk generally about the process of how books become traditionally published and/or share their own experience as they attempt to be published. I don’t have an interest in writing normal text based books, but it’s really interesting to hear about that world. I’m listening to a video about royalties right now as I answer these asks.
Will one of the desserts we get to pick be fudge? That'd be such a cute reference! 
Haha, yeah, it should. Unless I completely blank on it and forget when trying to include the various referential food options.
I don't know if this has been asked previously but what would be the approximate heights for the presets MC can choose from Step 2 ~ 4? Are there any measurement you had in mind? Sorry if I didn't make myself clear kk I've been struggling with my English lately 💀 
I don’t know, ahah. I didn’t have any numbers in mind for that. So it’s whatever you imagine it is!
I noticed a bug with the Patreon moment when it comes to what your character wears. When Jamie and Cove are kissing while my character only had dresses selected, I had both the option to remove the dress or to remove the shirt... Picking one of the options to interact with Cove, after he removed his shirt, it had Jamie remove their shirt followed by ther pants despite only having dresses picked. 
Thank you for reporting ^^
I keep refreshing steam to see when the new doc for xobd will be released. I noticed you haven't posted anything about it in quite some time. Would it be possible to ask about a timeline/potential date? (If it's even this year—) I know you and your team are probably working super hard, I'm just super curious! ~Thank you!~ 
There are more stories done, I just haven’t gotten around to publicly releasing them. Hopefully I will have a chance to spend the time on that sooner rather than later!
hello!! i’m not sure if it’s an update but i’ve just replayed our life and at the end i can’t propose to cove anymore? :(( i’ve actually tried playing twice but the options are not there anymore, did you guys remove the options? i’m sorry if you’ve answered this before!! thank you and have a good one :) 
I’m afraid things haven’t been changed or removed, so I think you might’ve accidentally picked the wrong things somewhere along the way and locked yourself out of being able to propose by mistake. Sometimes you meant to say you want to get married but instead you mis-click and have it so the MC isn’t thinking about marriage or something. All I can suggest is starting from the beginning of Step 3 and making sure to follow the steps listed in the FAQ. I’m sorry for that.
Did yall remove some of the options for when youre making out with Cove in the charity moment? I could've sworn you could grab his bonkadonk and its not there anymore 
This is the same situation as the above. We didn’t remove things and you’re not wrong that there are sometimes those options. But there are various choices you have to make to get those options and it sounds like you accidentally missed something. If your relationship isn’t long-term, you can’t do it for example.
HI IM SO EXCITED I CAN FINALLY GET THE STEP 3 DLC 
Thank you for getting it!
Is Shiloh super totally straight bc I’m very gay and a huge Shiloh fan, would my man make an exception?😩
Sadly, he is one of our super straight characters. I’m sorry.
Hi, I have a very dumb question. In Step 2 does Cove not wanna share his drink with us at the mall (or rather why he stops drinking it) because it's an indirect kiss? Or is it like ...weird to him to share? Because if I remember right he eats off our spoon in the birthday scene right? 
Yeah, he’s awkward about it because he likes the MC and it feels very personal to share a straw with his crush.
Hi! If you don't mind me asking, who is the artist for OL2? Their style is so pretty! 
Thank you for saying so! This is her Twitter- https://twitter.com/redridingheart
Do Beginnings & Always and Now & Forever exist in the same universe? 
Yep! XOXO Droplets also exists in the same universe. It’s one big GB Patch world, haha.
Do Pran's parents regret the way they raised him? Do they feel ashamed of it?
No. They’re the type of people best cut out because they’re not gonna change. Which is why Pran does go very limited contact when he’s an adult.
Hi! I just wrapped up my second playthrough of Our Life, and I absolutely adore it, but I had a question. I went to the gallery and found I was missing 2 CGS (specifically Step 1-3 and 2-3) and I had no clue where they would've shown up. Which moments are those found in? 
You get it by telling Cove about his dad offering you money to be his friend in Step 1 and Step 2. You can’t get both in one playthrough, since you can only tell Cove the truth once. I’m really glad you liked it!
Hi hi! Please, how tall is Baxter and Derek? Love the game so much and I can't wait to see more! 
I don’t know, aha. I think Baxter was around 5′10 and Derek was like 5′8/5′9, maybe. I really am not one who has specific heights for things in mind.
is adult cove a bottom, top, or switch? 
A switch, though would choose the top if he had to pick.
I was wondering if there is a way to transfer save data? Even if through the game files. I wanted to be able to transfer my save data from my desktop over to my laptop so that I could continue playing right where I left off from but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that. 
If you save the save folder/persistent data of the game from your desktop and put it into the game folder on your other device, that could work.
Hi! Is it possible for us to know the date when our life: now and forever comes out on steam? Sorry if you've mentioned it before but I haven't seen it and I'm looking foward to that happening and just wanted to know :) 
It’s gonna be a long time, I’m afraid. There’s no estimate right now.
I started playing Our Life with my sister a while ago, and I think you guys should know that we discovered your secret. >:)
L from death note and Cove are clearly the same person, and this whole game is just an origin story!!
I’ve never seen that show so I’m sorry to say I don’t understand the connection/reference you’re trying to make. I’m pretty out of the loop when it comes to media. I don’t watch movies or TV.
Will OL2 have options for disabled MCs?
I understand if it's too complicated, just curious
Unfortunately, it’s not really something we have a plan for. We couldn’t finish the game if we tried to include every disability and have it be meaningful. It’d just be too much content to create. But if we decide to only include a few, how would we choose which disabilities get to be represented and which are left out? I don’t know. It’ll probably have to be something we don’t include as an option again, sadly. I’m sorry.
playing our life > anything else 
Haha, I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Honestly, I would like to thank Our Life for helping me come to terms with my sexuality. Before, I never would've actually thought that it was possible to like boys romantically and still be asexual. Almost all of the BL visual novels I've read had unskippable sexual content in them and it honestly just didn't click with what I feel. I'm glad I found Our Life. I love the game, the developers, and this fandom so much. Now, I can safely come out as homoromantic AND asexual (at least anonymously here anyway; my parents are still huge homophobes 😂). 
Aw, it’s great to hear you felt comfortable being yourself in the game! That’s wonderful. I’m really sorry about your parents, though.
Will the demo for OL2 be on android? Really not sure if I could wait any longer than I have to aha 
Yeah, it’ll be available for Android once we eventually release a demo!
Do all these reveals perhaps mean development is progressing ahead of schedule? Please let that be the case I'm already obsessed with Qiu 
No, sorry, aha. Art comes along much faster than script/programming-work for us. It’s gonna be a long time before the game is a finished thing you can actually play. But at least we can look at the beautiful images.
Hey! First of all I wanna say I reallllllyyyyy loooovvveeee Our Life and XOXO Droplets! I have over 300 hours of playtime on Our Life… Anyways, I was just wondering, are the Derek and Baxter DLCs going to come out at the same time? If not, which one do you plan to release first? :3 
They will come out separately and Derek will be first! Glad you like the game.
I keep replaying Our Life to get every possible iteration and I am loving it <3 I was wondering if Cove gets locked out of his confession because MC was talking to Lee, would it be possible to confess to him in step 4? 
Yeah, you can avoid the confession in Step 3 and then get it in Step 4.
Hi, my Cove wears bracelets through step 2 and 3 but I still don't get an option to give him a bracelet? I didn't even know that was possible until I seen someone else ask about it lol 
Hm, did you use the Cove creator? Maybe there’s a bug where using the creator to add bracelets doesn’t fulfill the requirement to give Cove a bracelet in Step 3.
Wait, I'm dense, when does Baxter appear in step 2? Is it from big park firework? I feel so bad since i really love Baxter and waiting to buy his dlc. 
It’s in the Soiree Moment. You have to be just friends with Cove, indifferent, or crushing but not ask Cove to the dance at all. Then while there you can find someone new to dance with. But if you bring Cove to the dance while crushing, the MC won’t wanna dance with anyone else so you can’t get the scene.
In step 2 when we go to the soiree I made my mc go alone and baxter chooses the mc to dance, i'm curious, why did he pick the mc? sorry if this has been asked before! 
Because the MC looked to be around his age, seemed to also be searching for a partner, and had nice legs. A perfect option for him.
I read some of the FAQs, and I saw that we could tell Baxter about the condo that he rented there was previously the mean old grandparents. how do we get the mc to tell him that? 
It happens in the DLC Moment “Late Shift”. If you don’t have a job you instead get a longer scene with Baxter.
I don’t know if you’ve addressed this or not, but are you planning on paying voice actors for our life: now and forever? 
Yeah, we pay our VAs in all our projects.
hey can i ask how you did the moments thing in ol? im trying to get into making visual novels and while im VERY sure its out of my comfort zone and all that atm i kinda wanna know just for the future, bc im p sure it would work well for something i wanna do :O but its also fine if you cant say for other reasons :> 
I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean. Are you asking how we programmed the screen or something script related? Adding Moments like that is pretty straightforward, though. You just have buttons that open to different labels and then the scripts are essentially individual short stories/vignettes. Good luck with your VN!
Since Autumn becomes gender fluid later in the game, will there be a character who remains as he/him to romance in game? 
OL1 has the he/him LIs, OL2 is all about other genders.
I don't want to impose on your creative plans, but a parrot could possibly make a good pet in an OL-type game? They're pretty long-lived and likely to still be thriving by the end even if the MC got them back in step 1. 
I do appreciate the suggestion, but I’m afraid it’s not likely going to happen. I understand there are technically some animals that could theoretically live long enough to last the whole game that or we could have the MC only get a pet after some years have already passed. But the many things that would have to be considered/accommodated for makes it just something we probably can’t manage adding. I’m sorry.
As time passes will we be able to see Qiu and Tamarack's other stage arts as well?
They are both so cute i can't wait to be friends with them!
Yeah, we’ll show content from other Steps in the future. It’ll be a little while from now, though.
Can you date Cove and still have your family comfort you in the car?
You can’t get Cove’s Step 3 confession scene if you have the family comfort you in the car. But that’s not the only way to date him. You can get together with him earlier in the game or later on in Step 4.
Is Mc always going to be the one walking down the aisle or could Cove do it? Also could you choose to have one of your moms walk you? 
No. Cove wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle like that and the MC automatically respects that. And the MC also gets to have their preferences respected, so it’s up to you whether they want to do an aisle walk or not. You also can pick who, if anyone, walks with you.
Once step 4 is out, will you be able to go the whole game on crush/love without either of you confessing? 
Yes, as long as you tell the game you don’t want to progress the relationship. Even in Step 4 it won’t force you to officially get together.
Howdy, so in Step 4, there will be any Romance with Derek that is not part of any dlc? 
He’s only a friend unless you get his romance story.
Will the step 4 in OL2 be one big step or are you considering moments? 
Step 4 is just an epilogue in both games.
hi kind of a weird question but!! we know tht cliff doesn't start dating again but. wht abt flings? like does he ever do 1 night stands or anything? thank u!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Nope. Cliff has a very small interest in sex. If he’s not in a real relationship with a partner he’s crazy about it simply isn’t something he feels a need for, so one night stands wouldn’t even cross his mind.
sorry if you've already answered this, but i was wondering if there were plans for there to be bonus love interests in OL2 like how we have derek and baxter in OL1.
Maybe! There are side characters who could be given romance stories, but whether or not it will happen depends on funding and how long everything else takes to finish.
I don't know if i'm allowed to ask about ol2 here yet, if not u can ignore this or answer it later. My question is can you date one of them and be good friends with the other? I don't want to be strangers with the other bcs i love them both a lot :<
Yes you can!
what patreon level do i have to be to unlock the nsfw moment? im on the $5 one right now, will that give me access to the moment, or just access to the moment progress? 
That’ll give you access! Tier 2 and anything higher allows the player to download it.

to bicycles and a shopping cart on our way from the EMP
Was unhappily reminded of our reliance on electronics and the vulnerability of our power grid, twice this week. The first was easy to repress as I've been aware of this "one more thing" for years, and starting yet another post-apocalyptic series on my kindle was...a familiar reminder. It was the second thing I'm still thinking about.
When my phone suddenly stopped receiving a signal, I didn't think of the scenario where the North Koreans sneak a few old Russian Ilyushin jet bombers, into the US commercial traffic pattern squawking Chinese commercial airliner codes, then climbing them high and setting off nuclear bombs to create electromagnetic pulses devastating our nation's power grid.
Nope, I didn't think that because I'm not living in a constant state of terror that at any moment the world or just my world (same thing) is about to come crashing down. Yeah living in a state of denial isn't the constant address of only Trumper's. We all fend off the vagaries of life with barricades made of hope, faith, repression, nihilism, etc.
Personally, I cope mostly by...nevermind. Even though I've seemed to notice more of those Emergency Broadcast transmissions on the radio than usual, and even though, the world's most prominent Darth Vader seems to be going down in an insane egoists death spire and taking us with him, my first thought was...yeah Android Auto really sucks. It does.
It wasn't until I pulled into the parking lot of the supermarket and unplugged my phone from the car, that I realized, not only wasn't I not getting any cell signal, I wasn't getting an icon to represent a cell signal. When I tried to make a call or send a text I got the most disturbing message. "Phone not connect to a network. No number associated with this device. You can only make Emergency calls."
WTAF!!! In this day and age, when an emergency happens, you use your phone to call for help. Really when nearly anything happens you use your phone. When the emergency is - your phone is no longer a phone, I repeat, What the actual fuck?!
Not an emergency you say? Well here I was sitting in a primo parking spot on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, temp in the low 80's, sorry world, all ready to go in to get a long list of food items when I realized, I'd forgotten the list!!! Ikr? Yeah big time Emerg!!!
So, I shakily restarted the car and drove a white-knuckled fifteen minutes in heavy traffic to the Verizon store. I could think of three Verizon stores off hand. As a former member of an AF tactical communications unit, I've been conditioned to always know where all emergency egress routes are and the nearest White Castle and Verizon stores.
What? Some of you savvy preppers might ask, "Shouldn't I know where the gun stores are?' For when the sky is covered in contrails and the dead have begun to walk? Nah, I live in Indiana. You can't swing a dead zombie torso without hitting a gun shop. But MF if you've just finished a hard day of drinking and your stomach has begun to cry like Nancy Keriggan Why Why Why, a WK crave case is survival.
Anyway, as I walked in the Verizon store I noticed OMG, every single person was currently looking at a hand-held screen. Every customer and every Verizon team member. Most of the team members were looking at two screens, a tablet and a computer screen. Yeah, one EMP and I might as well have been trapped in an Escape Room!!! Okay, not a very good one as the whole front of the store is windows but... <whispers> the horror!
Quickly, a team leader approached me. To some extent I imagined what the energetic young man (Dean) might be seeing as he approached. A tallish, older man, not quite fit but not quite gone Homer Simpson, and okay he probably was just seeing customer number 286 and wondering if the geezer could remember his own phone number. So when he greeted me cheerily and asked for my phone number, I said.
Umh, I was just driving along and my phone stopped working and now it says there's no number assigned to it! Okay??? he replied.
I gave him my phone number and he said, the next rep will be with you as soon as possible.
When Terrence came over, about ten minutes later, I handed him my phone and raddled off my number. Okay, what can I help you with?
Terrence was great. He confirmed my query that sometimes people's numbers are in fact stolen (no missile contrails so) but he would just check out if my sim card was working properly...first. A new sim card later and my phone began to work. I assured Terrence when I chose to replace my phone, I'd let him know and I walked out into the day in full possession of a working phone, comfortably connected to the hivemind network.  A short while later, I was in the supermarket when D texted me a photo of the grocery list I'd left on the counter. <sigh> yeah, I should have got a bigger shopping cart.
