[ There has been a great deal of things that Sasuke has learned about in the few weeks he's been here just from talking to new people. All of them have been extremely confusing concepts, like therapy and the idea that people take care of children when they don't have anyone else to take care of them.

Some of these conversations where he's learned things have ended in more questions than answers. He could ask for more clarification from the few he's already made contact with, but the more possible answers he can get, the better. He thinks.

He hopes.

This could be a mistake. ]

How would you suggest someone improve their communication skills?

If your go to response is "talk to people", spare me. I'm only interested in more thorough answers.

Voice to text?

[auralaura]

Talking into the Omni so it writes the text for you.

[retsuden]

Why not just use the letters on the screen?

[auralaura]

Oh wow there are letters on the screen?

I must be blind not to see those.

Oh wait.

[retsuden]

Oh. I suppose that makes sense.

We don't have things like these in Konoha. We just talk to people directly.

[ It's amazing he isn't better at communication because of it and yet here we are :| ]

[auralaura]

This is why telephoning is superior. No talking.

No.

Telepathy.

Autocorrect sucks.

[retsuden]

Is that what it's called when this thing changes your words? It keeps trying to change "jinchuuriki" to "jingle jam" and I have know idea what that means.

Telepathy's not something I've had experience with, so I'll take your word for it.

[auralaura]

Yeah. Your Omni thinks it didn't hear you properly and tries to guess what you said and fix it.

Jamming to jingles sounds like something a granny who watches too many commercials does.

[retsuden]

Does it ever actually prove useful or does it always guess incorrectly?

... It does. [ He doesn't know how to process that he both understood this sentence and agreed with it, wow. ]

[auralaura]

You can understand what I'm saying so it's not the wurst.

And sometimes it makes great puns.
