[At least that explains a couple things.]
So you're not one of the locals, then. Same as me.
I can help you out, I guess. Not up to much else at the moment.
Probably won't be able to help with EVERYTHING, but I can see what I can do.
Where do you wanna start?

if i had known where to start i think i would have gotten the help line on the first try, don't you
[Please understand the depths of total confusion he is working with here through text alone. He is running at 1% and that is just "how to write messages."]
thank you, though, that's generous
let us assume for the time being that i am starting at total ignorance
what do you recommend

Good point.
Are you in any danger? Or was it not that kind of help line?
Also if you were looking for answers about how we got here and how to get home, I also don't have answers for you there, just questions of my own.
I can try narrowing down my help, amigo, but I need as much specificity as you can manage so I know where to start.
And you're not totally ignorant. You managed to press 1 pretty well..

Light up machines?
You mean your phone?
The one you're using right now to send me messages?
[Oh boy. This is going to take a while, and unfortunately Jackie has nothing but time.]
So, I guess...first, it's called a phone. You can use it for a bunch of shit. Mostly it's used for communicating with other people or looking up information.

Chingada madre.
Okay, okay. Let's start from the top.
Phone for communication, and yeah, pocket library.
Sending pictures. Touch the little icon of the camera.
[And seconds later, an afterthought.]
The camera is the rectangle shape thing with the circle in the middle. 📷

There's a small cross thing and it should give the option to send an image. You know what a plus sign is? You know what math is right? That's like, ancient, right?
Anyway pick the pic that you took that you wanna send and touch send.
[And hopefully he gets a selfie or something to be able to identify who the hell he's talking to. All he has right now is a name.]

of course i know what arithmetic is
the ancient texts are very specific about adding
[He can, indeed, press 1! He knows about numbers and everything! But anyway, luckily it is a selfie, not that he knows that mysterious term, and it's one of those selfies where he is frowning down at the camera buttons instead of looking at the lens, but: it's a face, and that's what counts.]
do you see it

do you see it
I see it.
It's...not the most flattering angle, but yeah I see it.
Hey handsome.
[And because he's not a rude asshole, he sends one of himself back. It's baby steps toward what might end up a video call.]
And now you know how to take and send a picture. You're 80% to mastery.

and yet!
my very first picture is permitted to have an odd angle, i should think
in any case!
you're quite dashing, yourself
it's much faster than sitting for a portrait
[At this point he's continuing the old timey bit on purpose, but shh, details. It is faster.]

Don't worry. The more you do it, the better you'll get at it.
It's a whole art, but I can't teach you more since I'm no expert myself.
[Sitting for a portrait? Jackie is laughing without meaning to, but thankfully they can't hear each other or he might have been wrong about the not being rude bit.]
Next lesson: Apps. Each of those icons on the main screen is an application and it does something different. I'm not going through them all because you can probably figure them out by trial and error. Just play around with it.

[Jackie spends the next several texts walking him through the process of how to find, favorite, and send his own gifs. He explains what memes are, what they're for, and how to use them. A general walkthrough of double-entendre emoji brings him to the awkward but final lesson (until he can come up with something else): sexting.]
I think the peach and eggplant are pretty self-explanatory, but I thought I should warn you before I get to sexting.

Sometimes, when two people like each other a lot but can't meet up in person for whatever reason they send each other suggestive messages: sexting.
A lot of the time that involves sending pics of your 🍆 or 🍑 to someone. I should note that you should never send nudes to someone unsolicited. It's generally frowned upon unless you trust the person on the other end not to share it with everyone you know. Got it?

[Something about the very educational tone of this makes him chuckle, in an endeared kind of way... But it's helpful!]
i am not nearly talented enough at taking pictures to send anything to anyone unsolicited!
but yes, of course, that's simply good manners
i've got it
