Voltie — The Dude Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/06/3 04:00:18 )
Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Oh!" Leo exclaimed.

"All right then, fair enough." he told her.

At that point, some gears started to turn in his mind, but he dismissed them quickly, clearing his throat a little.

"Say, Lunet." he then said.

"Would you like to be a tester for me?" he asked.

"Which is to say, when I make new models and such for computers geared towards those with visual issues, want to help me figure out what needs to be improved or what works really well?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Gladly." Lunet answered with a nod as she replaced her shades, knowing a few people in the building were rather uncomfortable with her pure white eyes.

"There needs to be more blind friendly tech." She added with a laugh.

"Although I do decent, so I think I'm lucky."

"Fair enough." Leo responded.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"I'd give you a business card, but I don't think that would do much good here." he reasoned with a small chuckle.

"Do you prefer to be contacted over email or text or phone?" he asked her.

"I'm more than willing to accommodate for you." he assured her kindly.

"Any of them work." Lunet told him honestly as she grabbed a pad of paper and a pen.

"... My writing probably sucs." She added before writing out her name, her phone number, and her email and tearing the page off.

"Here, hope it's legible.' she said with a light laugh as she handed the page over.

Leo accepted the page and looked it over.

"Perfectly legible." he told her.

"A little slanted, but nothing egregious." he assured her further.

"But all right then, I'll contact you soon." he continued.

"I'm working on a new laptop as we speak, so I think you'd be GREAT to see how it runs before it's released to the consuming public."

great big one on me.

Lunet nodded.

"Good to know." She said, referring to his comments on her writing.

"And I'd be happy to help. Especially if you're aiming for blind people to be able to use it." she then paused a moment, thinking. She didn't say anything before turning back to the laptop and opening explorer. She was able to navigate it far better than anyone might expect.

She loaded a thumbdrive she had in her bag into one of the USB ports, moved something over to it, removed it, before holding the drive out in Leo's general direction.

"It's a program I wrote." She told him.

"It might help you understand what is good for people who have a shitty roll of the dice like I did."

Leo accepted the thumbdrive, and nodded, though she couldn't see it.

"All right then." he said.

"I'll see what's on here when I return home." he told her.

He then paused, and smiled to himself.

"And I'll take what this teaches me to heart." he then said sincerely.

"Thank you." he said further.

"Not many people converse with me about those with various impairments, and how I can help with my technology." he admitted.

great big one on me.

"Can't speak for others," Lunet started, "but if you could actually give me sight? That'd be the best way you could help."

"Because yeah, I can navigate while blind with little difficulty, overall, it's most certainly not ideal." She added.

"Anyway! I won't keep ya. I gotta try and finish what I was doing with this phone anyway. Damned thing may have given up the ghost, and I wanna find out more certainly first."

Once again, those gears in Leo's head started to turn, but she had politely ended the conversation, just as Leo noticed Kiah was finishing up in the lunch line.

"All right then." he said.

"Was awesome to meet you, Lunet." he told her.

"Keep up the good work on AoD." he went on.

"Because damn... that's got potential to be the next big thing."

...and I'll forgive thy

Lunet just laughed.

"I already have offers on the title." She told him.

"On the rights to properly publish the game. I just have it posted a few places as an indie thing."

"So yeah, I plan on doing more. Eventually. If I can ever update THESE graphics." She added with a laugh.

Leo chuckled in response.

"Well, good luck then." he said.

They then said goodbye to each other, and he stepped away from her, making his way towards where Kiah was heading... but she could see it.

He was distracted.

The gears in his head were turning. He was getting an idea.

And she knew that light in his eyes. It was a MAJOR idea. A project that he was probably going to throw his full weight on.

Kiah just chuckled lightly, handing him the smoothie has he got close enough.

"Did ya revel in the girl?" She asked.

"Also, here. I was't sure which one to get, so I went with melon and pomegranate."

He accepted the smoothie, and smirked.

"Melon and pomegranate. Works for me." he said.

"And she is a fascinating person." he told her.

"Born blind, hasn't let that get in her way AT ALL." he continued.

"...but now I wonder..." he then mumbled.

"I wonder if I can work a miracle..."

"If anyone can, it's probably you." Kiah commented.

"I can only guess what you're thinking though." She added.

"However, I know you. You're a good sort." She continued, pausing for only a second or two.

"If you need or want my help with anything, just ask."

"It'll take a while to even begin to sort through the ideas I have, though." Leo said.

"What I'm thinking is... something that's never been done before." he admitted.

"Plus, I have other obligations in the meantime." he continued.

"Regardless, I should start thinking about it." he went on.

"Nice girl." he mused.

"Don't know how Ty and her met, but... nice girl."

"He saved her ass." Kiah answered.

"Anyway yeah, we both have work to do." She added after a second or two.

"So let's go do what we need to."

"Saved her...?" Leo asked.

"I see. Well, whatever, yes, we do." he agreed.

"Let's get back to your department." he told her.

"I need to start checking the area for installation points and such." he reasoned.

"Get preliminary work done in terms of a plan of attack."

Kiah nodded before they headed off, leaving Lunet in the busy cafeteria.

What are yoi doing, anyway? she wondered, finding it a bit odd to find a blind girl on a laptop, and using it quite so well. She knew that no one could really answer her, since she wasn't even voicing the inquiry, but she couldn't deny she was nosey about it, at least.

She wouldn't bother the girl though, that wasn't her style.

As they walked, Leo looked at her and smirked.

"She's clever." he said.

"I think she has a future in software development." he told her.

"And no, I'm not telling you why I say that." he quickly teased.

"But suffice to say, even being blind, she has such a bright future ahead of her." he continued, but paused once more.

"...and maybe I can help it be just that little bit brighter."

"Huh. A blind girl in software dev." Kiah commented as they walked.

"I'll admit, never thought I'd heard that." she added with a light laugh.

"I mean, seriously. But if you can help with that, that'd be awesome." She added. "I'm sure she'd love whatever you can do"
