If you'd like to ask the Transmitter something over text, go right ahead! The Transmitter will respond to texts messages as soon as she's available. You will likely get a text back very quickly.
Your tablet device will only reach the Transmitter. There is no option to send texts to anyone else, instead it will connect to automatically to her phone.
Comments are screened for privacy; all Patients are offered confidentiality, didn't you know?

Sending this out into the void......
Are you getting this, Transmitter-san?
It's Assimilated! Hoping this finds you well. You seem like the kind of person who would prefer texting over speaking on the phone.
Thank you for putting up a profile for us! I had no idea you were so young.
I did have a couple of general questions, so please respond at your convenience and discretion, if that would be quite alright.
1) I noticed last night that the fog cleared, some, only to find that it was snowing outside: I had no clue that we were in a midst of a blizzard, so I can only assume that the hospital has good central heating! (Something we don't have in Japan, believe it or not)
Can you tell me if the hospital is located in an area with frequent blizzards like these, or if this is simply a winter storm front?
2) Assertive and I are beginning to become good friends. She mentioned having a conversation with you wherein you told her that you're frequently monitoring us, though I would imagine you give us basic privacy in our bathrooms and the like (please feel free to inform me if this is not the case).
Are there cameras located in the facility? If there are, I haven't been able to locate any, so they must be considerably well-hidden.
3) Speaking of Assertive, I was just thinking about how she certainly lives up to her title!
Her dallying would feel a bit more sincere if I didn't predict that she was like this with everyone. But it did make me curious: was it you specifically who crafted our titles, or were they assigned to us by the Risen association you spoke of yesterday?
4) A shot in the dark, but is there anything more you can tell us about that group, specifically? Other than their name and the fact that you're transmitting to them, we don't have any information on them, specifically.
If you're the Transmitter, is there a Receiver, of sorts?
5) In regards to those likes and dislikes, is there much more that you know about our individual private lives, beyond that? While I know that your methods for obtaining that information is classified, I'd also like to know if it's fair to assume that there's nothing about us that you don't know.
For instance: one of my dislikes states that I don't enjoy being at home. Do you know the reason for that? If so, I'd prefer for you to keep that information as private as possible, if that's at all reasonable.
As you can imagine, it's a delicate subject.
6) On a lighter note, though, I see that you're a fan of games and indie music! I'd love to hear of your favorites. My favorite games, for example, are Sudoku, Kakuro, and Hitori, though I also enjoy Tetris, of course. I'm a fan of all music genres, but as I typically listen to music while I study, my favorite music tends to be orchestral and instrumental.
I can't speak for the dislike of water or the claustrophobia, but I also dislike being alone; I think humans are social creatures, after all. A good friend of mine once told me that having friends makes you a weaker person.
He said that for every friend you have, your strength as a human goes down by one. Because when they get hurt, you get hurt, too, and when they worry, you worry about them.
But that very same person who would say things like that was the first person to come to my aid when I needed help, and the first to worry about me, even when I insisted I didn't need to be worried over, so despite his words, I'm positive he doesn't actually feel that way.
It seems silly to suggest that someone could be friends with the person who captured them (or, at least, a person associated with the group that captured them), but, I'd like to know how you feel about a sentiment like that. I see no reason why we can't at least be civil. I'm curious to hear if you have any thoughts on that, yourself.
I'm sorry that this got so long. I didn't mean to ramble, but it's easier for me to talk over text than it is for me to speak on the phone, as well. It's quicker for me to put my thoughts into writing. Take your time in responding to this, too, you know I'm not going anywhere.

you know, most people send texts in short bursts, not whole novels. just fyi.
1) you should probably expect frequent blizzards. that's just how this area is. it won't let up, we can assure you of that.
2) if there are any cameras, you can't see them. was that vague enough? alright, alright, there are no cameras. we can see you through a different method. any attempts to ask about that will be met with your favorite response, though.
"i can't answer that."
3) the titles were crafted during a joint-session between both of us. the risen and the transmitter created them together, after much thought.
4) nothing more can be told to you about the risen.
who do you think the receiver is? i'm interested to hear your thoughts.
5) i know everything about you. or at least, i knew everything about you. we did. a lot of things about histories and pasts are jumbled up. did you notice we mixed up a title? it's like that. while we may have known everything, it's hard to keep it straight. some of it might not even exist.
we have a vague idea for you. the more we think on you, the more it can be retrieved, but it's still difficult to focus on. does that make sense?
6) alright i'm going to rip the bandage off and say i only know sudoku and tetris. the others are popular where you grew up? i haven't even heard of them.
instrumental and orchestral music usually put me to sleep. the risen
we seem to like some of them, though. opinions differ.
i must admit, i enjoy talking to those of you i have so far. whatever interactions or words you have for me, it's
well, it's nice.
friends give you strength. family gives you strength. that's my opinion. doing something by yourself is bound to put you in a load of trouble that you can't dig yourself out of.
as for being nice to someone who captured you
personally? i'll urge you as i urged others: be wary of us. letting your guard down will only cause you heartache.

...Just kidding, of course. I'll do my best to maintain brevity, if it suits you. Most of my texts are actually emails, so I tend to default to letter format. That's more of a Japanese phone thing.
So, in the interest of cutting to the chase:
Thank you, thank you, thank you but I'm astounded by the creativity, thank you and for now I think it could be someone on the Risen side for one "frequency" and us on another (and one may make a speculative case for you being more of a Transceiver than a transmitter), it does make sense and I did notice but it sounds like the process of getting that information was far from seamless and I'm curious as to what you mean by "some of it may not exist," Kakuro is like a combination between a Sudoku and a crossword while Hitori basically begins like a completed Sudoku and you have to cross out numbers instead of leaving them in (it's short for "Hitori ni shite kure" which is Japanese for "leave me alone"). If there's a way for me to send you pictures I'd love to make you a quick Kakuro and explain the rules if you'd like to try your hand.
I agree with your​ sentiment, to a point. In that, I think those things should give you strength, and sometimes they do in unexpected or unorthodox ways. But thank you for your thoughts on the matter. You don't have to worry about my guard, but it seems counterproductive to bite the hand that's feeding me, to use a metaphor.
no subject
write as much as you please. doesn't mean we won't comment on it, but we won't stop you either.
we thank you for the praise, but we're sure not all of you would share that opinion. about the titles. it was honestly kind of fun, though it took some thinking.
transceiver makes sense but transmitter is what we're going with. it fits in special ways.
"may not exist" information we can't answer. we don't know if we could even explain it.
both of those sound interesting. a bit of a headache, but interesting. i'm a bit more for simpler games, honestly. maybe they just sound complicated because i've never tried them.
we suppose that makes sense. that hand is also caging you, but it is feeding you. does that make sense? metaphors were never our strong suit.
no subject
The distinction of a Transmitter over a Transceiver is interesting, and I'll have to consider the implications of that a bit.
If you can't answer it, that's one thing, but I assure you, if it's a matter of me believing it, I've seen quite a few unbelievable things over the past few weeks.
As for the games, I think that once you start working with them they become far easier to wrap your head around. Sudoku is only so popular because it's easy to get into, but when you look at one for the first time, it's difficult to know where to begin.
I'm a fan of brain teasers. Not necessarily something that requires you to think five steps ahead, but games where it's necessary to think about the implications of your moves and adjust your game plan accordingly.
Tetris is very much like that. Perhaps less so than something like chess, but, you understand the idea.
But yes, that metaphor made perfect sense. I got your point entirely.
no subject
mostly we don't feel comfortable talking about our reasoning because some of it is colored by things you may not remember? trying to talk with people about things they do or don't remember is a difficult and slippery slope. we're interested in hearing your reasoning, though.
it's less that we don't think you would believe it and more that we don't know how to begin explaining. also yes, we can't answer it. that probably should've been what we said first.
some of the risen like games like that. some don't.
i
i find that i like things like tetris more than something like chess. or codes. i like codes.
no subject
Things I may not remember? If that's the case, perhaps there may actually be something to Assertive's theory, after all; while my theory was more along the lines of a synonym for learned, she had suggested that perhaps I had been "assimilated" into a particular set of circumstances, after my experiences during my spring break. And while I do think that there's something to that idea, I don't think I've been involved with those circumstances too much; certainly not to the level of familiarity necessary to consider myself "assimilated". However, if I HAVE been involved, and I simply don't remember them for one reason or another, that's a different story...
Though, that brings up a different idea. Are people prone to waking up here not realizing that there are things they have forgotten? Obviously the circumstances of getting here are part of a sort of memory gap, but if that memory gap extends further than any of us have realized, it may even explain the discrepancy with the ages in the profiles...though, in cases like Asgore's, that would be QUITE a big memory gap, so that may be a bit off the mark...
Not to mention, the age on my profile is accurate, so I'm not sure if my memory gap is quite large enough that I would be missing what would inevitably be quite a long period.
Something to stew over, I suppose, since I think I may be starting to get what you can and can't clarify.
Most people are only familiar with single-player Tetris, but have you ever played it against anyone in the Risen competitively? I've played a bit in the arcades, but the entire game changes when you add the element of competition into the mix.
Have you ever done any programming of your own, Transmitter-san?
no subject
yeah, like we said, it's complicated, and unless people ask about it we don't really want to go blabbing about memory problems and all that. even then we won't be telling anyone things, because we're not sure we can even keep them straight. usually memories like this resolve themselves. we're sorry for this whole mess.
we will stress that everything on those profiles is accurate to our knowledge. whatever that implies, you have to be the judge.
playing against the risen? oh god, no, they wouldn't even know where to start. they're a little hopeless with technology. i've only ever done single-player.
and once again, oh GOD no. i play around with computers. i don't program them. while the risen may be hopeless with technology, i'm not a genius.
no subject
[ Sounds like it'd be a relief for poor Nachetanya, who woke up armless and doesn't even know why-- ]
Once again, in my case, all of it is accurate, so I trust you on that one, at least.
So you're the closest thing that they have to tech support, though? Sounds like quite the motley crew...
no subject
i am, usually. it sucks.
it's a bit easier here than normal, but anything else on that subject i can't answer.
