To: Everyone
Subject: Greetings

Well, I've never been particularly good with introductions, but I suppose they are in order nonetheless.

My name is Alisaie Leveilleur, and I hail from a star called Hydaelyn. I very much hate sitting on my hands, and things here are rather far too quiet for my liking, so if anyone would like a partner to work with, please feel free to call on me. I'm not lacking in combat skills, but I'd also very much like to begin working with this.. dreamotion energy, as it were, so if anyone should like to practice with me, or be practiced on, please let me know.

I also wouldn't mind company while I clean up this treehouse.

Also, is there anywhere I might find some fresh cookies or cupcakes?

[ it's some time before she responds, because alisaie is busy tilting her head and squinting and trying to understand the characters..

.. but eventually it clicks! ]

Fascinating, I've never seen anything like it. Is that last one.. throwing stars?

[mwehehe]

Casting magic. Not sure what kinda spell it'd be, but magic IS pretty sparkly, right?

[In her own experience it has been, at least.]

I have like a billion more of these that I can remember, I think. Plenty for any occasion!

[adelphoi]

Sparkly..?

[ in her experience, magic is more FIERY and VIOLENT but.. carbuncles are sparkly, i guess?? anyway. ]

So all you did was think of it and it appeared?

[mwehehe]

Yeah! Sparkly magic just seems... magical!

[brilliant explanation there, Futaba.]

Kinda. If I had stickers it'd probably make it easier, but I could probably draw out the kaomojis easier.

Like when you're so angry you just wanna flip a table? (╯°益°)╯彡┻━┻
Or if you just need a disapproving face? (ಠ_ಠ)

[The kaomojis are drawn out pretty quickly, she has some for every occasion.]

[adelphoi]

[ thanks for that riveting and informative answer, futaba.. ]

Fascinating..

But wait, you used the term "emoji" as well.. what is the difference?

(ಠ_ಠ)

Did it work?

[mwehehe]

It did work! The angry face is a staple in kaomoji, and anyone who says different is wrong.

[There are other ways to express displeasure, sure, but that way? That face? The best way.]

Emojis can be a lot of things, not just faces. They can both give you an emotion in something, but you don't have a kaomoji for a cookie. Maybe for eating a cookie in a mix of both, but not just for a cookie, or if you want to say you live in a castle, you would use 🏰 for the castle.

If that makes sense.

[adelphoi]

[ hang on, she's parsing all of this.. ]

So.. an emoji is a small picture, and a kaomoji is a face expressed through written letters and symbols, is that right?

[ SHE'S GONNA TRY SOME MORE ]

🍩🍰🍪

[mwehehe]

Yep, you got it! Emojis are like stickers, and kaomojis are exactly what you said. But you can also communicate with the emojis, but most of the time they just look cute in texts.

[Aah, the Student is quickly becoming a Master, and Futaba is pretty proud of herself for introducing someone to emojis and kaomoji. How many more can she convert to this?!]

All the things you were looking for! Heh heh, you catch on fast, I like you.

[adelphoi]

Think nothing of it. I should be thanking you for teaching me.

[ these emojis are kind of useless to know about, but they're CUTE and FUN and that's what matters. ]

[mwehehe]

If you want to know a bunch of tech things, I'm your girl! But, also emojis and stuff because why not learn how to use them to unleash them on people who are least expecting them? ╰(▔∀▔)╯

[Even if they're useless, being cute and fun are what matters, indeed.]

You can probably make some encrypted messages with them if someone doesn't know what they are, too. Or just to do something fun in text.

[adelphoi]

I shall certainly keep that in mind! I cannot say I am particularly technologically savvy..

[ she left all that nonsense to the ironworks, tbh. ]

But you can be sure I will continue to practice!
