[ The technology is a non-negotiable for her. It is the bane of her entire fucking existence that she does not have an iPhone in Abraxas. Sure, it's great, she's got magic and friends and the man she loves and she has a direct connection to basically God, but... she misses Instagram and YouTube and TikTok so goddamn much. The scales are balanced.
But she has absolutely given Jesper an iPhone in the Horizon. She's created a decent enough facsimile of one there, and distributed it to everyone in her domain, as well as everyone she cares about. It has the normal built-in functions. A handful of very simple, famous phone games -- Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Fruit Ninja, Subway Surfers. Versions of YouTube and Spotify that work, but only for things Julie has seen or heard already before.
Julie makes a soft, sudden noise, as if she has just recalled something extremely crazy. ] Ohmygod dude, no, no fuckin' foolin'! I saw his memories once, and all his senses are crazy. It was so goddamn overwhelmin'. It's like he can see movement, and in the dark, and he hears and smells everythin' Like other people's heartbeats. He is so fuckin' amazin'.
[ Although her tone definitely indicates that she means amazing in a "superpowers" sense, it's clear that she can wax on about Geralt for quite some time. (Though she does glance around, just to make sure he isn't too close.) When she stops talking, it's only really to take another hit. ]
There's numbers at play too, babe. It don't matter how incredible you are, what kinda shot, nothin'. They took us when we were alone, or maybe with only one other person. They wanted to make sure we couldn't get away. [ Her brow knits, and she leans into his side, putting her head on his shoulder. ] As much as I hate it, there's nothin' we really coulda done. There's not much the government coulda done, I don't even think. Sometimes that's just how it is.
[ She chuckles. ] Oh, and what makes you so sure I don't got tricks of my own?

The case she has chosen for him is appropriately chaotic.
