[Someone should really tell this noob to stop sitting on his 'gear.]

[Because it keeps happening.]


ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY ROCKET BASE:
[There's a young man in a really short shirt wandering around. The city itself is a bit overwhelming, so he's taken to snooping obnoxiously around the base, because why shouldn't he be allowed everywhere? Bedrooms, labs, common rooms...]

[But why are there two of him? That's right, you might be running into his Zorua.]

Not until you ask nicely.

[ Saber rarely ever picks on people, but the smug look on her face gives away her pleasure all too much. ]

[OH THANK GOD IT'S NOT JUST A FACE...it's a moving picture!!!]

[Video]

[allbend]

Okay; first off? I'm not "in" this "box." Second: the Gears, apparently, are sending out these signals to each other so we can see the other person through this "video."

Believe me, if I had any better way of explaining how this contraption works, I'd say it.

[Video]

[bellyshirt]

...you just made that up.

[Video]

[allbend]

I did not! That's just how it is! [ Wow, rude. ] Fine! Then explain how you're in the same "box" I'm looking at.

[Video]

[bellyshirt]

I'm not in any box!

[Video]

[allbend]

Huh. Doesn't look that way to me.

[He debates this for a moment, before coming to the unhappy conclusion that she must be right. But of course he won't actually say it so much as--]

How does this even work?

[What am electricity...]

[Video]

[allbend]

[ She grins, noticing the silent victory she has over that argument before shrugging. ]

Beats me. It's sort of like a radio, only... we can actually see each other?

[Video]

[bellyshirt]

I don't know what a radio is, either! Why can't you use normal words?

[Video]

[allbend]

[ You are just getting the blankest of stares right now, Luke. ]

... seriously? I... guess I can chalk that up to whatever level of technology your world has.

[licentious]

Are you illiterate? Or are you just curious as to how the keyboard works?

[ Seriously. She's willing to dismiss one as code. Two as like, earnest mistakes that are mockable but three is when she just needs to have a little time out with whoever's making these strings of text!!! ]

[bellyshirt]

We have plenty of fontech! Just not...this stuff!

[HEY DON'T INSULT BATICUL OKAY. He'd probably be saying different if he, y'know, went outside the manor to see the cable cars...ever...]

[ How very strange. What was all this strange texts?

At first she thought she should ignore it ... but she became a little worried if it was someone needing help. ]

[Video]

[allbend]

You have your phone on?

video; 2/2

[thewhite_symphony]

Hello? Do you require assistance?

[Video]

[bellyshirt]

No! Fonons! You know, the things that fonic artes come from! Are you stupid?

[He almost says 'even I know this stuff!' but stops himself.]

[bellyshirt]

Why does everybody keep asking me that?! [It was only one person, Luke...] I'm fine!

[Video]

[allbend]

Now you're the one who isn't making any sense! What the heck is a "fonic arte"? [ She pauses, thinking. ] Rrrgh! No, scratch that-- I don't suppose you've realized you're not wherever you came from, right?
