[ Bonnie Bennett has spent the better part of the last few days in Caroline's room. Between her Elena issues and general wariness of the ship at large, this makes her feel more comfortable. All she has in her room is herself, her thoughts. She doesn't know how big this ship is. All she knows is Klaus is on board. He murdered yet someone else her friend cared about - even if she hasn't lived through that yet. She has no reason to call him out, nor does she have reason to bring attention to herself. Text is safest. She has no idea if Klaus pays attention to the network. She's going to ask simple questions. She can handle herself. One leg dangling off of Caroline's bed, she types out a message. ]

Has anyone had to deal with someone they'd rather avoid being on the ship? How public are our room numbers? Is there a way of filtering what you want to say? Locking someone out? Or, do you stick to in person interaction?

The number on your arm and your posts is also your room, so.

[unbalancer]

So, every time I say something or send a text, that number is shared. Great. [ Now she has to move. ]

[trouvaille]

Essentially.

~welcome to the google future~, I guess.

I can't say I've had to deal with that type of situation before but there are ways to filter though.

There are? Is it easy to teach?

[skjalf]

I have been told there is a way to communicate privately.

But the person who said that to me also declined teaching me how. I would also like to learn.

[ there are definitely some folks from home she doesn't want to be mixed up with here. ]

[unbalancer]

[ text is safer ]

They didn't teach you? As in, they refused?

[endureandsurvive]

u can go anon and then ur # isnt on anything

[unbalancer]

[ Great. Well, she can learn for later? ]

Is there an anon button?

[ well, the situation is certainly similar, though he doesn't spare much thought for the identity of the poster. it doesn't particularly matter if it's someone from mystic falls. his answer remains the same.

time for some sage advice — well, sage-ish. he doesn't do hiding because original vampire. ]

All locks can be breached. Simply look at past broadcasts supposedly by the entity "smiley" for definitive proof of that.

Even in person, it seems we're never truly alone. A crowd would be better suited for privacy, though you run the risk of encountering the person you would like to avoid in that case.

[ Bonnie's not one to hide, usually. But, in Mystic Falls it made things easier to stay away from him while plotting against Klaus. Here, that might not be an option. She'd like it to be. ]

Smiley?

I wouldn't put it past this person to do anything in a crowd.

It's pretty easy to find our room numbers. They're the ones on our arms. You can make things private if you don't want people to read them though.

Can you teach me how?

private voice »

[outliver]

You can't lock someone out of a conversation, essentially making it so everyone else can see it.

[ Katherine catches her off guard. She's stuck with text but then it's Katherine's voice. ]

I can't? [ That made no sense, Katherine. ]

text; private; comms encryption

[cargojet]

Comms can be encrypted privately to one individual or a small group, or encrypted to everyone except one or a small group of people. Depending on your skill with technology, though, some encryptions are better than others, for instance the one I'm using now was developed by several top level hackers working together.

I can teach you the basics.

[ she remembers what she's been told so she saves this encryption code. she's saving them all ]

I've been taught some but I'll take whatever I can get. Thanks.

[coy]

I still think we should airlock him. [ grumble, grumble.]

[ she smirks, setting her device aside. she wants nothing more than to do just that, but, she knows what has to happen. somehow. she looks over at Caroline ] Do you want to deal with Elijah? Or Rebekah?

voice

[slipperysoul]

There's no way to hide any of it, far as I know. Ship even seems to know everything that no one else does.

voice

[unbalancer]

[ she's learned encryptions, and she's moved back to her own room, so she switches this to a private voice chat, why not ]

How invasive. You know telling me the ship knows everything doesn't make me feel any better. Not that I feel good about being here.

This place does certainly beget paranoia, doesn't it?

Hello again, Bonnie Bennett.

Adam. [ she exhales, sighing. ] I was trying to keep my identity a secret... Never mind. He probably already knew who I was. [ her lips come together forming a line. ] I have reason to be paranoid. It's not the ship bringing it out.

[doggedly]

yes to the first but heres an offer: if you want to shove my person out an airlock into the dead of space i'll push yours out of an airlock and into the dead of space

if only it were that easy. do you usually suggest Strangers on a Train scenarios with virtual strangers? though, I guess that is the point.
