DAY 426 — Morning Greeting
Good morning, previous - erm, inmates... New collective? Sounds a little bit nicer, but it's up to you what you'd like to be called. I'd be interested to hear your suggestions. [What do you want to identify as, MarinaNovians? Where do you feel you stand now? It's fascinating.]

You may have noticed a few new changes overnight, one more subtle than the other. We removed the sentinel presence from the dome as it was feeling obsolete. Much like some technology of yours we've updated, replacing your previous headset system with a device and accessory modeled more closely to smartphones you may be accustomed to. This now allows for voice, video and text posts. I know this is a sudden change, but you've already acclimated to so much I'm sure you can handle it.

Oh yes, and I believe you like to finish these things off with a tune.

((OOC: The FAQ is updated, check for more information on the headsets and other changes.))

	[Dryly] I think "prisoners" is still a pretty apt term. So... this is for real, then? It actually wasn't just one of your one-day games? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This is indeed for real, Mr. Harkness. [Do you prefer Captain? He momentarily reconsiders his words.] Do you have any concerns about the change? Or suggestions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Captain Harkness. [Automatically. Yes, he does mind.]

I have a lot of concerns about the change. [Not least how the hell he's going to quell Ianto's concerns that he'll be off and shagging everyone now the sex ban has been lifted. But that's not something he's going to bring up right now with someone who's not only wielding all the power here but also very much an unknown entity.]

But since you asked... any chance of being able to use my wriststrap as a communicator instead of having to learn how to use all this new tech? [He's useless with phones. Ask Ianto.]

((OOC: It's weird. Every time I tag Jaden, it feels like Jack's default icon is the right one. It's like he just really wants to seem inscrutable or something!!!)

	Captain. [Corrected.] This new tech's been designed to be easier to use than the previous headset system - might you at least give it a try for a few days to see how you fair? (ooc: dw it works fine for me, haha) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hmm. [So not impressed. The headset was far more familiar tech, as far as he's concerned.] I guess I don't really have much choice, do I?

[But he tries to let it go. He has at least got used to accepting the things he can't change here, even if it's sometimes still rather an effort.]

So. If these changes really are permanent... Any chance I could get some more kinky items for my sex store? And I guess I no longer need permission to change the name of it?

	[ Guess who just more or less both physically and virtually elbowed her colleague to the side for a chance to get in on this. This gal! This is what you get when Mary no longer has to play it cool. ] I see you really did find something to entertain yourself with, Jack! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can make requests that we will attempt to fill in due time, yes. [However...] There are certain restrictions to continue to keep this simulation in balance - what is it you'd like to ask for, Keith? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
