I don't understand nuthin'!

What is this thing on my wrist? What's goin' on?

This ain't home!

This sucks!

[and that would be the sound of a can getting kicked before the feed turns off.]

[A gruff voice comes on with a withheld sigh.]

It's a communicator, is what it is. You're using it.

[voice]

[wildandtough]

...I still dun get it! What's a... communi... cator?

[voice]

[themortalhalf]

You know what "communicate" means, don't you?

[voice]

[wildandtough]

Course I do! To talk!

[voice]

[themortalhalf]

So what d'you think a communicator's supposed to do then?

[voice]

[wildandtough]

[Small pause while he thinks about it.]

...oh! Okay!

[themortalhalf]

[Well, at least he gets it. Though he has to wonder what he thought when he was thinking when he heard a voice coming from out of hell-knows-where.]

That's what the watch does. Let's you talk to other people.

[wildandtough]

[There's a large dent in a wall nearby.]

...Why can't we do that face to face, tho'? Why do we need this?

[themortalhalf]

Tch. Can't talk to someone half across the city, can you?

There's video. [He hesitates. The guy probably doesn't know what video is.] It's the picture at the top right, if you touch it.

[wildandtough]

That's why you walk! [Seems logical to him.]

Oh uh... [He touches it, and blinks a bit.] Like this? [Showing off a big bushed head of red and an eyepatch.]

[video]

[themortalhalf]

[There's a nod as Shinjiro allows the video feed on his end to turn on.]

It's a big city.

[video]

[wildandtough]

Can't be bigger than home! And we never had nothin' like this there!
