They're there to help set the mood! Tons of people talk about how it's hard to read tone with just a text, you know? So if you're making a joke or something, you can add... that one!

[ points! 😁 ]

- and it'll make it easier for them to know you're just playing around.
dms: (ehehe)

Haha, nope! They're only there for flavor. You don't have to use 'em if you don't want to, as long as you understand what they mean.

Totes okay~! They aren't for everyone, you know?

...It sounded like you needed a little help going back to regular text, though? Or did you figure it out, already?
dms: (water me)

They don't have phones where you're from, huh? I can help you figure it out, if you want. I'm a total pro at these things.

Oh, so they've got the corded kind? Vintage!

[ anyway! pulling out his phone to show her in real time... ]

You wanted to swap back to text, right? Okay, look here. See the little icons? You hit the keyboard - this one - and voila!

You're just not used to it yet! But you're a smart person, right? You'll catch on in no time!

[ just gonna tap out something on his phone real quick, and - ping! her phone goes off! ]

If you need someone to test things out with, I don't mind being your guinea pig~! 😊
dms: (too fun)

[ bursts out laughing ]

You're thinking of the wrong kind of pig! They're cute little guys, but they're known for being test subjects. [ ping! ] ...Which I guess is kind of sad, actually?

It is technically a rodent! I've heard they make great pets, though.
dms: (mankai playback)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet! Got something in mind already?
dms: (so it's like this)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-15 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, those are, um... pixtures, camera- so you can take a picture while you text - GIFs, stickers, and the mic, if you need speech to text. That way you could just talk and the phone does the texting for you!

Sometimes that one turns out a little weird, but it's kind of funny, too!
dms: (heat up the floor)

Sure you can! Just tap the icon, hit "OK," and start talking.
