Aogami and Kei Amemura linked charm sample.

[whre r u now? im so excijted!!! ahsldfjasdjf meet me at lunch k? :smiley:]

Aogami informs him that he has received a text and reads it out loud. He'd say, "Young man, you have received a text from Ichiro. Would you like to hear it? [...] It reads, 'Where are you now? I'm so excited. Ah slid f-jas djif. Meet me at lunch. Kay.' And then there is a small yellow circle that my databanks inform me is a smiley face."

The text slides straight into his mind, as if he just read it. But until he gets used to having messages beamed directly into his mind, he has to stare at something and pretend that he read it off of that. Sort of like reading tea leaves; staring at something chaotic and letting your mind project onto it.

His sword acts as a phone screen. Actually, I think it would be funny if he could treat his sword like a touchscreen and play Tetris on it or something.

On receiving images: Aogami describing it just isn't the same, so maybe it's the last two options.

Now I'm wondering how he texts back.

He dictates and Aogami composes.

He can beam the text straight into their phone. When he's first starting, he has to see the text written down, so he writes it on sand, a whiteboard, or anything available.

He can also send pictures, but at first he can only send things he's currently looking at. Since eyes don't work the same way cameras do, the focus and field of view are a tad disorienting. This does, however, mean that he gets really good moon shots; the moon doesn't show up well with most cameras because cameras don't focus on it the same way eyes do.

On a related note, you know how the Nahobino puts his hand to his temple when he's talking to Aogami or on the phone? It seems like he only does that to speak (or at the start of a conversation where he expects to speak; you know what I mean). I rewatched the scene where V-kun first fuses with Aogami, and while V-kun can hear Aogami no matter what, V-kun only responds to Aogami after he puts his hand to his temple.

I don't think that he's pressing an actual button; I think he's pretending to use an earpiece because he's not used to telepathy. If you don't speak out loud, where's the boundary between your thoughts and the message? The Nahobino's solution is to pretend he's turning an earpiece's transmitter on and off. It still took him a while to get the hang of this, and Aogami got a lot of unfiltered thoughts. But this is Aogami, and he didn't mind.
