NIGHTREST :: TASK 001
on the record | nam dae-eun
The Basics
brand of phone & color:
samsung s23, silver.
case:
clear case with a (slightly sun-bleached) polaroid of him and his sister tucked inside. the corners are slightly bent since it's a bit too big.
locked or unlocked?:
always locked with a fingerprint lock. there's a backup pin instituted, but it's rarely used. (for the record, though, it's the address of his childhood home: 1422.)
lockscreen & wallpaper:
Usage
screen time:
probably uses it about 4-5 hours a day, depending on the day.
five most used apps:
spotify, messenger, chrome, news, twitter.
web tabs:
generally has no more than 7-10 tabs open at any given time. 5-6 of them are articles he swears he's going to go back and read. 1 of them is a forgotten search tab that he won't remember to close for another day or so. 2 of them are the nightrest news network, permanently open since the murders started. the other 1-2 tabs are interchangeable, and he generally cycles through these for most of his general internet browsing.
google:
last seen doing research, so it was βnightrest news.β
last text messages:
any one of a couple he sent to various friends throughout nightrest, checking up after the fires. prior to that, it was his messages to jieun.
voicemail:
an annoyed message from @jieunparks, calling to say she'd found out he was here in nightrest and that they needed to meet up. he left it there to remember to text her later...and then forgot to delete it. (he's been a bit distracted.) other than that, it's emptyβhe makes sure to go through it frequently in case any important calls come through.
Social Media
handle:
@namdae on all platforms. he's a basic man. (plus, it's professional.)
instagram:
[ feat. @kattcalled, @kyleyangs ]
snapchat:
he has an account, but doesn't post, just uses it to keep up with others.
tinder/bumble/hinge/grindr/etc:
doesn't have an account on any of these. never did. never will. he's wary of them.
spotify:
top three songs of 2022: heather by conan gray, runaway by aurora, and cold by corbyn, in no particular order. last played song: youth by kihyun. he was looking for something else, but ended up there somehow, and he wasn't mad about it.
tiktok:
doesn't use it, but will watch videos if others send them to him.
facebook:
he uses it, but only when forced to. barely touches his own account, just has it for family updates.
others:
has a youtube account, but never uploads. his email is primarily used for professional correspondence. uses twitter religiously. someone pull this man away from the bird app. please.
extra:
doesn't often save his contacts with funny names because it makes it hard to find the ones he needsβalthough he will use nicknames sometimes. uses primarily emoticons while texting rather than emojis because, honestly, he's just too lazy to switch the keyboard. keeps his apps all stuffed into four folders so that he can actually see his backgroundβhe hates those people who cover their screens with so much crap that you can't see the picture; why even bother setting one? always forgets to turn off unnecessary app notifications so he generally accumulates a lot of nonsense stuff throughout the day that he just swipes away. doesn't use a screen protectorβhe just doesn't drop it.
bonus: an additional edit that i spent a ton of time making before i realized there was no room for it. enjoy this article from the future.
