first path • video/text... sort of
[Being from the third wave, you'd think Konoe would have come out to play on the network again sooner.
Let us present, then, reasons why not: One - showing up alone is weird. Two - he doesn't like being watched by just anyone. And three - what's encryption again? He really hates to fuss with this thing, so in the mean time, he's made his own filter.]
[That's right, he's held up a piece of paper to his camera without a word of explanation, so closely you can't see much else. Perhaps that's not a bad thing in itself; any further away and it probably won't be legible.
After what he hopes is a long enough moment later, he replaces it with another note (still careful not to show himself).]
[This is what happens when you grow up without computers. Or pencils. The picture cuts out after another few moments, replaced by what's clearly one of his first attempts at - gasp! - using the keyboard.]
wheniwriteitonititlooksstupid
[Sure, he can read what appears on his little screen every day, but to say Konoe is a skillful typist himself would clearly be a mistake. He's being brave today, finally asking for help... he knows it's been long enough in the dark.]

[Literally the only thing he cares about here.]

konoe
no subject
i know your name but i have not seen you before
[You're a popular one with his roommate, mister.]
to video
[That kid, huh. Suddenly he wants video, and switches to it himself. It's really not anything exciting, lineface-y Dutchman paused in the middle of watering some plants in his room.]
Know how t'switch to video?
[ voice → video ]
... He isn't around, is he?
[Though not hearing Asato call for him after a pause is enough proof for him, and he switches again as requested.
Where he is isn't quite clear, but it can't be anywhere he'd get lost trying to reach. He's taken the precaution to even wear his hood when he made his first message, amber eyes peering sharply underneath his bangs. ]
I learned how to do this a long time ago.
[video]
[To the point, and he doesn't bother scanning the video across his room. Too private for that. If he's satisfied with the switch to video, his expression doesn't betray it.]
Hm. Know how t'encrypt?
[Because hell if he does.]
no subject
[It probably isn't nearly as difficult as he perceives, but simply telling others things in person has always been his preference. His device is used for the basics, at best.]
I don't have much to say on these things anyway.

[Punctuation should probably be next, but he's excited! Really!]
soifipress [WHOA] after it works
[Exclamation points! He needs exclamation points! BUT IT'S A START.]
MAGIC
So how come you didn't want Asato to see? Good luck with that, by the way. There's a saying about cats and curiosity.
1/2
[He's hardly any better in that department - ]
i want to write to him sometimes but my writing is bad so i wanted to learn how to this way
[Personal touch can take a hike, he'd rather not subject anyone to it anymore... or subject himself to the shame.]
no subject
im not sure if he knows how to type either
[And he doesn't want him to beat himself up over that. You know how him, too, Heather....]
no subject
Both of you, I mean. Saves time!
[ text → video ]
[Gah, okay he's tired of sounding so flat - good old video it is! Have a happy Konoe along with it.]
Learning together sounds a lot better...!
[ video ]
[And have a happy Heather right back, because oh god cute]
It'll be just like school. Except without desks or timetables or a teacher who knows what the hell they're doing.
So not that much like school, I guess
no subject
I've never been to school... but it seems true that we don't need desks for these.
