Greetings,

A moment of your time, should you see this message.

How does one effectively prevent another from contacting them through this device?

You have my thanks.

usually there's a block button somewhere.
y, is some fucker spamming you?
sending you unsolicited dick pics?

[taciturnly]

( ...........come again? )

A problem you have encountered? ( look, his curiosity is very slightly piqued, okay. )

[bombshelled]

way more often than I would like, but ya.

ur not really a modern girl if you don't have assholes dropping their dick pics in your DMs.

[taciturnly]

An achievement I will strive to keep avoiding. ( being a modern girl seems horrifying unless the sender wears black and a wide smile )

[bombshelled]

[ If you ask for the dick pics, it doesn't count, Wangji. ]

so what's the big problem here? someone trolling you?

Hanguang-jun? Is everything alright?

[taciturnly]

Ease your mind. Only a mild disturbance.

[lookslikeacinnamonroll]

If someone is bothering you, I could try telling them to stop.

[taciturnly]

( oh you pure cinnamon roll... )

A kind offer. A futile endeavor.

picture it with me, if you will:

you, with your receipt of unwanted messages.

me, with this trumpet i've found.

them, with a window which most certainly isn't trumpet-proof at terrible hours of night

[taciturnly]

( .........he doesn't quite dislike the idea, but. )

Dig our own graves, first. ( it's just bound to backfire, however much he adores your brilliant brain. )

[mannerless]

or i can simply wish you invincible too

it's foolproof

[taciturnly]

( ...........................are you saying it's actually working? )

Come again?

Is there some reason that you have to reply?

[ She means that as a legitimate question, honestly, because otherwise, ]

If they're only sending messages you can choose not to read them, can't you?

[taciturnly]

A choice I have already made.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to turn off this device. ( or silence it, really, in case someone he cares for tries to reach him. so he's doomed to go mad. )

[lethechained]

That does sound like it would be pretty drastic.
Are they still trying to contact you that often?

[ Or is the sheer force of his annoyance just so powerful as to warrant consideration of such measures? ]

[taciturnly]

They will relent, eventually.

( stumble upon boredom and find a new hobby. he sure hopes so, anyway. )

Ah, Hanguang-jun...

Is there a particular reason you need to keep someone from contacting you?

[taciturnly]

( SON. CALL HIM DADJI. )

There is. ( and hopefully your innocent eyes have NOT seen his shameful truth. )

And another, to keep this device operational. ( so basically, he can't turn it off OR throw it into the lake. )

[deferences]

[SOON..... one day.

and thankfully, he's none the wiser to his father's Shame™. (for now, anyway.)]

Unfortunately, with just a quick examination on my own device, I don't see a way to keep someone from contacting you.

The Technicians gave us these devices, perhaps they could figure out a way to make that an option?

[taciturnly]

Their benevolence, only presumed. ( which, in dadji's language, means: YOU BE CAREFUL SON. )

Sizhui. Is your fire warm enough? Your sustenances, adequate?

@Jiang.Wanyin

[legbreakings]

I don't even WANT to talk to you!

[taciturnly]

Then by all means.

( DON'T!!! )

[legbreakings]

[ h o w!!!

d a r e !!! ]

How generous Hanguang-jun is

[taciturnly]

Not quite as munificent as your fingers.

( because apparently you're still talking!!!! )
