Hey, guys, it's Hughes. :) 

Since I am in communications, I have been spending a horrible amount of time getting used to this insanely advanced technology — thank you for that, by the way! The best way to arrive in a new and totally dangerous world is also learning you're completely behind by many centuries! 

But I have adapted. Made great progress! Look, I can do faces. :) 

:( 

6_9 This one looks dizzy. 

:'( And we have a sad one here.

I need more! Please send me your faces ASAP, it's gravely important. So much more enjoyable than typewriters! No need for white ink or ribbons or buttons jamming! I wrote an entire letter to my friend Roy missing my R key.

So essentially I was diving him insane because I wote oy eveytime his name came up.

He eally hated me.

Anyway, hone your art skills! Show me what you can do while I'm on the clock. I'll need more than two things to focus on around here, because my attention span is far too used to being split three different directions.

Look. I made a flower for my favorite people (you know who you are).

I CHALLENGE YOU TO... AN ART COMPETITION. I SCORE BASED ON CREATIVITY AND EFFORT. 

OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU CAN DO WITH THIS THING. 

I've already figured out the picture taking part.

;)

thanks sirius for the face tips :))))

Please remember to compile your results and any derivations you may come up with. We'll make a resource file.

[If you're going to do not-work, Hughes, it can still become work! L's waggish side is vaguely amused nonetheless.]

Absolutely. You never know when a smiley face will help translate anything we find. We could get something coded entirely in faces, for all we know. It pays to be fully informed on the basic text face mechanics!

Besides, I'm making a picture of Elicia entirely with text symbols, so I need practice.

I see you're having fun with the communicator.

Wouldn't it just be easier to draw on some paper or parchment, then take a picture with your communicator?

[not here]

[SHUT YOUR DIRTY MOUTH some of us can't draw for shit]

That's not nice! I'm sure some people out there wonder why people would use paper instead of just typing up their images! Different worlds, you know! But since I'm stuck in communications and will be very deeply involved with texting and listening to frequencies around here, I figure I don't really have the room to carry pencils.

Good question. I don't know, but how about I just say that he definitely is, and you should definitely ask him for lessons. Since he's now an official teacher now, by word of mouth.
