I figured out my codename! And I set up a few social media accounts. Let me know what yours are so that I can add you!

[The list of links that follows are mostly microblogging and picture-sharing platforms, though it does include a HoloRay account as per Robbie's recommendation. They share the same username of "therealsirprize", and all the profiles identify him as "Sir Prize of the Legion of Super-Heroes".]

[The picture-sharing accounts are already filling up with shots of Makkachin, Victor posing in his official uniform, Victor with Legion World staffers (who are already mutually following him), food, the ice skates with the gold blades that the Athramites made for him, and some of the cool looking things he saw in Metropolis.]

Sir Prize? Really? ʕ – ▃ – ʔ

[Still, he gets a friend request from blueroseofficial on one of his blogging platforms!

Really! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

[And she gets a notification that he has confirmed her request!]

Not a fan of puns?

Puns are so uncool. ʕ ” – ∧ – ” ʔ

They're jokes for out of touch old men.

[W-why would you say that, that's so MEAN (╥_╥) Now he's going to start worrying about his hair thinning again!]

And teenagers! ｡◕‿◕｡

Only in bad comic books and movies.

[Blue Rose has zero patience for old man humor. Seriously, one of the few good things about being away from Kotetsu is that she doesn't have to listen to any more dad jokes.]

dont listen to her
shes got a stick up her ass about the whole heroism thing which is actually ironic given the situation
like we put on silly costumes to deal with bad guys and have fans who write stories about us and all that shit
imagine if a cop wore a santa costume while fighting crime and had people drawing fanart of him
the situation is inherently ridiculous and you gotta have a sense of humor about it
so yeah you did good

[But what if everyone thinks he's oooooooooooold?]

It is important for things to be at least a little fun if they're going to dominate your life.

Puns are actually the best, you know.

Puns leave me, and anyone with good taste, cold.

And I thought I had an ego.

Did you lose it? Have you tried looking under the couches?

[:-P]

Ha. Ha ha. You're hilarious.

I feel like it would make quite a few people happy if I did.

It's always important to make people happy!

Do you not care for social media?

What's social about it you're just showing photographs Is there any real purpose to all this

[The words might seem disdainful ones - they are, to a point - but Roland is thoroughly tired by now of understanding less than half of what he sees and so, as far as intention goes, the words are genuine. Maybe rude, maybe more than a little frustrated, but genuine. He wants to know.]

Edited (icon) 2016-12-30 19:48 (UTC)

[Seems like someone doesn't have social media at home. That's interesting enough to get a swift reply.]

People can click on the pictures and discuss them and share them with other people. It's a way of forming communities on the internet. I keep in touch with a lot of people I know back home this way because we're all busy and live in different countries.

As for its purpose...well, it's fun, and my dog is incredibly photogenic.

It isn't the photographs themselves that are important That explains much

[No matter how beautiful the dog, there's no sense in wasting a photograph on it. It doesn't occur to Roland to beat around the bush about that. He's thinking instead on how he used to use similar tactics - similar in their way, at least - to build up goodwill with the people of whatever new place in which he found himself. At least, in his younger years. Since then he's arrived in plenty of new places, but left off the pretense of caring a whit for the people in them. It'd never been him who'd been much good at the public relations, anyway. Still-]

Do people of this universe find something worth talking over in all that They care about your dog and your knife shoes

No, it's not really about the photographs, it's about the people! And maybe a bit about the photographs, if they're particularly good.

[Victor's willing to take "that explains much", but he would definitely argue that nothing he's posted is a "waste" of a photograph. At least not a digital one; he'd grown up on the very tail end of film cameras and he might not have taken quite so many pictures with those. They'd be more difficult to share like this anyway.]

I'm part of their Legion of Super-Heroes now, so yes, they do find things to talk about. Mostly that my dog is indeed cute and that they're excited that I'm willing to share these pictures with them.

Also you are now invited to drop by the rink on the beach on the Habitat Deck sometime, because you've clearly never been ice skating before.

[All of Victor's accounts get followed by y_katsuki_LOSH. (There are so many y_katsuki accounts that he had to add something to get a working username.) Yuuri's own accounts have barely anything on them, so the name, and the pictures of his new dog Phi-chan, are the only things giving away that it's him.]

[Which really isn't any different than before. Yuuri had quietly followed him (and others) the same way back home, never posting himself or commenting. He's even saving some of the better pics of Victor to his omnicom just like he used to save them to his computer or phone. The only difference now is he isn't just one of many names in the masses of followers that Victor doesn't recognize.]

You definitely caught my good side in this one.

[He links a picture of a human-sized blanket burrito that Victor posted.]

Edited 2016-12-31 07:47 (UTC)

Katsudon breakfast burrito （〜^∇^)〜

[That picture is promptly tagged with Yuuri's account name. Also, Yuuri gets notifications indicating that therealsirprize is following him back. And that he's tagged him in several posts across multiple platforms, all reading "Please also follow the magnificent @y_katsuki_LOSH <3". Because Victor.]

I wonder if I can transfer that recording of you skating Stammi Vicino onto one of these...

nonono don't tell anyone to follow me! I'm not really going to post anything, just pictures of Phi-chan!

And you can't post me skating Stammi Vicino. It's so unpolished and it was before I lost weight. People will laugh. (╥_╥)

Edited 2016-12-31 08:42 (UTC)

Pictures of cute animals are pretty much what the internet is FOR, Yuuri!

No one laughed before. But if you insist you don't want me to share it...

[...he can't figure out how to convert the file and he doesn't want to risk damaging it for the duration of his time here.]

[Connie's not one for putting her life on social media but she will keep an eye on what other people choose to share. The user name earns an amused snort from her but it's the photos that make her comment.]

Cute dog.

Isn't he just?

[This guy loves his dog. So much.]

He's also very friendly if you want to pet him.

They brought him with you?

[She's envious. Not that she had a pet back home but it's been years since she last saw a dog.]

"They"?

I assume so. It may have been difficult to do otherwise, I was hugging him at the time of my abduction.

His name is Makkachin.
