[ It's been a rough month, between March, losing a friend (maybe the only one he's had here) and the simulation.

It's not like Rhys is new to hitting rock bottom, hell, this is far from the lowest he's ever been. It's never a fun process, but of all wisdom Jack imparted on him one remains true: You've gotta break things down to build them back up again. When you're at a low point, after marathoning all 10 seasons of How I Met Your Second Uncle Twice Removed and ice cream binging, you pick yourself up, put your nose to the grindstone and rebrand.

THAT'S RIGHT BABY Rhys is New Coke-ing himself. Let's not worry about the fact that everyone hated new coke.

Rhys sits in front of the camera, his expressions are practiced, corporate. Earnesty without any of the earnestness, but it still reads somewhat genuine. ]


Hey gang, Rhys here. Just wanted to put a little something out there, for all of you to hear, know where I'm at.

We've all made mistakes in our past. Some of us more than most. Even me.


That's why I'm coming to you all with a pitch: New day, new Rhys. What can I do for you? C'mon people lets see those requests!

Grab you a drink from the mess hall, fluff your pillow, program Pong onto your commlink. People always need things done.




Within reason.

[smugreport]

I'm not bored, this is an executive business decision regarding the Rhys Brand.

And pong is this

The lines are paddles and the dots a little ball! Suuuuuper rudimentary but I don't think this place will let me do any advanced coding on their hardware.

YAY it worked lol

[sanctus_dei]

and this is a thing for the comm?

[He's from 1948, have mercy.]

like a game?

thanks to kels haha

[smugreport]

Exactly. I think it's one of the first games, like, ever, actually.

[sanctus_dei]

huh. okay. sure. so long as it doesn't fuck up my comm or something.

[Then he wouldn't be able to read books anymore and he'd never forgive Rhys.]

[shadowsran]

OH I WANT PONG

[smugreport]

Woah, didn't know we had a Pong enthusiast in the crowed.

[shadowsran]

I used to have a lot of access to pac man that I'm missing now, it's nice having stuff to fiddle with.

[Respect Pong!!!!!]

You've done it before?

[smugreport]

If I can get pong to work, I'll put pac-man on the to-do list.

[ Old school taste! He can respect liking the classics. ]

Like have I programed this game specifically? No, but it shouldn' be hard. It doesn't even need any visual assets!

[shadowsran]

I think I'm going to put myself on hold until I see it in action, but once I do I definitely want it.

[She'll refrain from asking after Dig Dug. In time.]
