I have two requests to make. I seek Engineers for these requests, and I can promise you compensation for your efforts.

[Anybody who knows Sanageyama should be able to recognize his voice, though it's not often that he gets this serious. Also, for whatever reason, he has chosen to forego video.]

First: I require a Good Rod. It will help me with my training in the near future.

Second: I require someone to add a function to my Warp Band. To be specific, I need it to read text posts aloud. The sooner this function is added, the better.

That is all for now. I'm expecting responses soon.

[OoC: Okay, so! As part of his evolution to his Tier 2 skills, Sanageyama is now blind. However, his other four senses have sharpened to compensate for the loss of his sense of sight. In-person interactions likely will be rather similar to what they were before. Video interactions, however, will be different as he cannot tell what's going on on the other side of a screen. Expect anything that your character might try to show on a screen to completely miss his attention.]

You sound pissed.

[globalawareness]

Far from it, in fact. I simply have a goal within my sights and I'm determined to reach it. These things will help me get there all the more quickly.

[willbethebest]

That sounds very...efficient?

[globalawareness]

Efficient? Perhaps. But more to the point, it's necessary.

[willbethebest]

So whaddaya need all that stuff for?

[globalawareness]

The fishing rod is to hone my sense of touch. I need to be able to enhance my ability to feel things rather than merely seeing them.

The other is just a matter of convenience.

[wherenoonegoes]

I can do the Good Rod, but it'd need to wait until next week.

[globalawareness]

That's fine. As far as I'm concerned, waiting an extra week is a small price to pay. As long as you can get it done.

[wherenoonegoes]

I'll let you know when you can pick it up.

[globalawareness]

I appreciate it. Just send a message to Uzu Sanageyama when it's ready.

[Lenna recognizes that voice.]

...Sanageyama? Is everything all right?

[globalawareness]

[It takes him a moment longer to recognize the voice coming through. But he does eventually respond.]

Why would you think that something is wrong?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

You're using a very serious tone, and only audio.

[globalawareness]

...

[Uh-oh.]

What's the matter with audio? We've used it for so long already before the advent of video.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Nothing. I just thought maybe you were trying to hide something.

[globalawareness]

I have nothing that merits hiding. This is simply a matter of convenience for the moment.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

All right.

[She's willing to take that at face value.]

How have you been, then?

[globalawareness]

I've been fine, more or less. I've got no complaints about life at this point. It's been peaceful.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

That's good. I'm glad to hear it. It's been a while since we've talked.
