Got something you want to say to your good friend The Professor's Assistant? Come on in, don't be shy! Her official hours are daylight hours - girl has to sleep? after all, probably - but if you knock on the door at night she'll generally answer. Please just make sure to leave the in-game date and time in the header of your toplevel!

Oh, I've heard of Daughter, actually! I know a few of their songs from these old TV shows I used to watch, way back when. But I never actually owned one of their albums or anything. A lot of the CDs I actually owned were hand-me-downs from my sister Lana...

Do you recommend their less popular stuff? I know deep cuts are usually where it's at...

[didntgetdadslooks]

I mean... the problem with a closed network is that, uh...

[ she turns the music app towards Ema - the popularity metrics are all completely empty ]

... I don't know what's popular or not, exactly. But I'm a fan of them in general.

[snackooed]

Oh, goodness...

[ A little bit upsetting... ]

That's kind of lame. You really don't get any, like, blogs or social media or anything at all on that thing?

[ Granted, neither do they, but, sometimes you gotta send a poke to your friend that lives four countries away-- ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Nope, not a one. The extra apps I get don't connect to the internet - not that there is any in here, anyway.

And here I thought you could get Wi-Fi pretty much anywhere these days...

[ She takes a sip of her vodka soda... ]

What about things like current events? Do you get updates from your boss with things like that, or do you know as much as we do?

If anything happens I need to know about, he'll tell me, but... apart from a war breaking out or something there's not much that affects what happens down here.

[snackooed]

Mm...I get it, but it sounds like a pain in the butt to me.

[ Of course, there isn't much about this situation that isn't. ]

I guess you'll see once you get out of here, but it's kind of fun to look up posts and stuff of what people thought of these songs once you finish. Sometimes they come out of it with a completely different point of view than you did, which is interesting in its own way, scientifically speaking...
