Hello! First of all, Maurice would like me to tell you all that he's locking anyone who messes about with putting dangerous things in the mailbox to send to him which don't belong for at least a week (please don't send him dangerous things!!!!) and would like me to remind you it's for things you got sent only, please! Secondly, we've managed to fix one of the colors entirely, although one is still on the fritz. We'll keep working on it! By the way, is anyone going to do secret Santa games? I always like those, although I've only ever done them with other employees. Last year I got Ronnie. He's soooo hard to shop for but I think he liked the cane I got him? And Mr. Baroque got me! I'm not really sure he knows how to shop for girls. Or people who don't only want weapons. But the thought is what counts!

Say you were doing a secret Santa, though.
What would you ask for?

[ Just... just curious. ]

uhhh
man i don't know. most things i want are the big bucks.
obscure books? junk?
stupid nerdy knickknacks and useless mechanical junk i can repurpose are good, cheap gifts for a secret santa, i guess.

[judgementkazzy]

If money was no object, though?
What kind of obscure books do you read?

[ innocent questions.... ]

[refate]

a $30k computer that is the most ridiculously and needlessly expensive computer ever but *the processing power*. the things i could do with it.

but one of my favorite fiction books that isn't like, mainstream and well-known, is the chrysalids by john wyndham.
comparative to 1984, i guess.
and i read a lot of autobiographies and history books that aren't written by crusty old white dudes that are balls out expensive since they're swept under the rug by said crusty old white dudes..

30k?
Holy shit.
Can computers even get that expensive?

I guess I can keep an eye out and see if I find it.
The holidays are coming up, after all.

[refate]

it's not even the only hellaciously expensive computer.

you don't have to worry about it, kaz.
christmas has never been a big deal to me.
most holidays aren't? except halloween, because birthday holiday and so much candy.

[judgementkazzy]

That's... damn.

[ Like, he could buy you a new car... or a computer?? ]

Your birthday was on Halloween?
If I missed it then I have to get you something for Christmas.

[refate]

yeah it's
a lot of goddamn money, man.
i could buy so much more with that kind of dough.

[ Honestly yeah it's ridiculous. But processing power. ]

it was the 25th.
i finally turned 18, so you missed
just about nothing to be honest. my engineering group threw me a party and then i holed myself up in my room to work and eat a giant cookie with a friend at ass o'clock.

[judgementkazzy]

You could buy a bunch of smaller computers and hook them up to power a bigger computer and it'd still be cheaper.

[ Kiryu has no idea how that would work, actually. ]

That's not too bad for 18.
At least you can remember it.
Doesn't matter what people tell you, getting blackout drunk is never fun.

[ hi dad it's kiryu, reminding you not to drink because you're underaged!!! ]
