Note: The " 3 " at the end of Zen's chats are actually supposed to be heart emojis. Does anyone know of a way to format documents so they show the symbols on ?
Ciphertext – Chapter 5: Zen's Curiosity
[A NEW CHATROOM HAS OPENED]
ZEN HAS ENTERED THE CHATROOM
Zen: Oh!
Zen: Ohhh!
Zen: Ohhhhh!
Zen: There's a girl on the RFA app?
707 HAS ENTERED THE CHATROOM
707: Hiya Zen
Zen: Hey Seven! So who's the girl? I'm curious!
707: I don't know the answer to that either.
Zen: Huh? But didn't you invite her?
707: No. Read the previous messages.
Zen: Ok … wait a sec.
Zen: …
707: Do you get it now?
Zen: I guess… So, we've been hacked into?
707: Ya. Alongside my other work, I'm still trying to find out who's behind this.
Zen: How is that even possible considering your ability?
707: … I don't know.
Zen: Hmm. This is strange for you. Normally you have the answer to everything straight away.
707: Ah … don't expect so much of me.
EMILY HAS ENTERED THE CHATROOM
Zen: Emily?
707: That's the new girl. Hi Emily! How's it going?
Emily: Hey Seven …
Zen: Hey Emily ;) I'm the charming actor Zen, but you can call me Hyun 3
707: Waaaa, so bold – using your real name so soon! 0_0 Emily, just call him Zen.
Zen: Here's a picture of me [attachment: selfie # 1,309]
Zen: So, what do you think? Interested? 3
707: Hey. Don't ask her those kinds of questions. Emily isn't here for that reason.
Zen: Ahh … I'm sorry if I offended you Emily but … I am a bit good looking! ;D
Emily: …
707: UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE ENSUES. Zen … look what you did …
Zen: T_T
Emily: It's okay, Seven. Don't worry about it. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.
Zen: Right? You understand! 3
707: Zen! Quit using those heart emojis! It's seriously annoying!
Zen: Dude. Why are you being so defensive?
707: Hmm?
Zen: It seems like you're just trying to get in the way.
707: Wha-? O_0
Zen: I mean. It's not like we know who she really is. We should get to know her more.
Emily: I'm just as confused as you all are.
Zen: Right? So … why don't you start by sending a photo?
707: NO!
Zen: Ok … That was definitely defensive. _
Emily: I can send you one if it helps you to trust me a little more.
Zen: Trust? Oh … it wasn't so much about … trust … exactly.
707: Emily. You don't need to send any pictures to him.
Zen: I just wanted to see how cute you are! 3 I'm handsome, right?
Emily: ^_^
707: I think she's probably screaming at you right now.
Zen: Oh? She's already my fan? I'm so touched! 3 Here's another photo of me [attachment: selfie # 1,569]
707: … I meant screaming in annoyance at your narcissism.
Zen: T_T
Emily: Haha
707: Anyway, I had better carry on. Time is of the essence! Defender of Justice - deploy! Seeya!
707 HAS LEFT THE CHATROOM
Zen: What is up with him?
Zen: Don't worry young lady, I will choose to respect your privacy. I'm sorry if I got ahead of myself. It's been a while since I dated anyone, so … I guess … haha, never mind! ^^;;
Emily: I'm sure Seven was just trying to be nice, but really … you don't have to be so cautious. I'm pretty open-minded actually ^^;;
Zen: …
Zen: I don't have to be so cautious? So … what do you mean by that?
Emily: Uh … I'm not exactly sure myself. Haha.
Zen: Haha.
Zen: I like the sound of you already. If you want to know about anything, call me sometime. My contact card is in the RFA phonebook in this app.
Emily: Ok. Thanks Zen. Anyway, I'm going to have some dinner now. Did you eat something?
Zen: Oh. Have a nice meal! I didn't eat yet since I've been practising my lines. I'll probably grab something from the convenience store later.
Emily: Take care. Bye!
Zen: Ciao, lovely lady 3
Emily: …
Emily: …
EMILY HAS LEFT THE CHATROOM
Zen: Oh. What's with the cold response? My heart just broke a little ^^::
