Good at Technology

[back_to_the_past]

[The feed cuts in with a face of a man who looks like he's not sure if he just did something right. He just sits there, looking curiously and impatiently at the screen. Possibly also a man who got the "start recording" and "stop recording" buttons mixed up, and so started actually recording AFTER he had finished saying his piece.

After a minute or so...]

...Why am I even wasting my time with this?

[Luca's a people person. And sometimes that means patiently watching a few minutes of confused video. And it definitely means replying! (and not saying they just messed up a post, even if she's thinking it)]

Oh! Um... sorry, were you waiting for someone to talk first? I wasn't sure if that's how this works or not... [I mean, they couldn't even reply until the first part was up, right?]

[Jack drops the communicator in surprise, causing the view to go all flippy for a second before settling on the ceiling of one of the apartments. A moment later, Jack's face peers into the corner of the view.]

So it DID work?

[trulyworthit]

[w h o o p s, didn't mean to startle him...] I think so! [she chimes] The last bit, at least. And I can hear you, now!

[back_to_the_past]

So you didn't hear anything else I said?

[trulyworthit]

... sorry, I guess I didn't. Maybe you can repeat some of it?...

[back_to_the_past]

I wish to know if Aku is aware of this city, or if his agents come here.

[trulyworthit]

Aku? ... I haven't heard of anything like that. Then again, I just got here.

[back_to_the_past]

You've never heard of him hearing of this city or sending agents here?

[trulyworthit]

I haven't...

I guess I can try and look backwards on the network? [there's the faint sound of technology as she fiddles with it.] ... I think I can? Maybe? [beep beep boop?] ... I'll figure it out, eventually!

[back_to_the_past]

You DO know who Aku is, right?

[trulyworthit]

[There is a long pause. Wellllll...] ... I don't, sorry...

[back_to_the_past]

Maybe I really am in another world.

[trulyworthit]

It seems like it. At least we're all in this together? It would be scary, being the only one stuck in a new place...

[back_to_the_past]

It is not a fear you cannot overcome.

[Ruri is tech support, and deadpan, and speaks emotionlessly. Jack is a pretty obvious end user.]

Do you need help with the communications device?

[back_to_the_past]

I think I know what I did wrong.

[electricyousei]

Still, if you need help with it I'd be glad to give it. These are a bit advanced for people who don't have previous experience with mobile devices.

[back_to_the_past]

If you don't mind...

[electricyousei]

Not at all. Everyone needs help from time to time, and if you do not give it, how can you expect to receive it?

[back_to_the_past]

Wise words.

[electricyousei]

I'm in the large metal ship in the park. If you come by I will gladly give you some pointers on the com systems.

[back_to_the_past]

I think I saw it earlier. I shall make a point of doing so.

[electricyousei]

Just walk in and ask for Ruri. Omoikane will get me whenever you do.

[fracta_anima]

Because you have nothing better to do?

[back_to_the_past]

There are plenty of other things I could be doing.

[fracta_anima]

But you're doing this instead of that.

[ghost_shield]

...Looks like you got a watch. Need help?

[back_to_the_past]

I have secured assistance already, thank you.

[ghost_shield]

Good to know. You get set up properly then?

[back_to_the_past]

I suppose.

[helenchanted]

...oh I know all the trouble the first time I used this too.

[back_to_the_past]

This area is not my specialty.

[helenchanted]

Mine either. It's not too hard once you figure it out...

Would you mind if I asked you a question?

[back_to_the_past]

Of course.

[greyerrant]

Trouble with the local voxcaster, Jack?

[back_to_the_past]

I do not have much experience using technology.

[greyerrant]

I shall ask my techpriest to assist you, if you'd like. He is a good servant of the Emperor, and as such, will always assist those in need of enlightenment and illumination.

[back_to_the_past]

I thank you, but another has already offered me aid.

[greyerrant]

Very well. The offer will stand indefinitely.

[greatseal]

It's a good way to make friends.

[back_to_the_past]

Uh...that is good, I suppose.

[greatseal]

Mm-hmm... In a place as big as this, it'd be a lot harder if we couldn't communicate.

[back_to_the_past]

...You must forgive me, I have been alone for a very long time. Yes, of course, friends are important.

[greatseal]

[He looks like a samurai, and talks about being alone...

...it's like a scene from a period drama. Minus the communicators.]

Well, you won't be alone here. Everyone I've met so far seems very friendly. [What makes someone else 'friendly' is also very loose for Minako, but we'll let that slide.]
