Third Echo

[After three decades or so of learning to control her emotions on every level, Meetra doesn't really show annoyance over minor things that often. That said, there's definitely an undercurrent of exasperation to her tone.]

Okay, I think I've been going about this the wrong way for the last couple of weeks. Or just looking in the wrong stores.

What exactly is a "Phoenix Ranger Featherman R?" And for that matter, what's an action figure?

Featherman?

[Excuse him, pinged. Sorry, but... it's a show with robots. Big robots ping him pretty hard.]

It's a show about super heroes that fight evil.

[And robots. Robots. *_*]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

A noble subject...but why does Caroline want something from it, I wonder?

[linefacingforever]

Maybe she's curious about it.

[Besides, who wouldn't be? It was pretty awesome.]

[...]

[And robots.]

She asked for an action figure?

[echo_of_a_jedi]

[A nod.]

For her brother, now that I think about it.

[linefacingforever]

...interesting.

[So William was a fan? Who knew.]

I don't have any of my figures here, unfortunately.

[And he'd be pretty reluctant to part with his robot models...]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I think I might have a lead...thank you, though.

[linefacingforever]

Good luck.

You should try watching it sometime. You might like it.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Hm...not sure it's meant for my demographic, but I guess there's no harm in trying.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

It's a show and comic about heroes! An action figure would be a small toy copy of one of the characters.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I see. So it's the local entertainment.

Video

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

I...guess so? I guess it doesn't have much of an audience outside Japan...

Video

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Well, in this version of this planet, there's not much of anything outside Japan, unfortunately.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Don't remind him...]

Good point...um, what's it for, anyway?

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Someone in the Velvet Room wanted it.

[deathboss]

Only the most amazing sentai show of its time, Chica!

[Eikichi, explain better.]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

"Sentai"?

..."chica"?

[deathboss]

Think of it like a superhero task force!

...that's spanish for babe, babe!

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Spanish is another Earth language, right? Sorry if I'm a little clueless, but I'm from pretty far away from here.

[helenchanted]

Wait. Why do you need a Featherman R figurine?

[Private]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Well, Caroline from the Velvet Room wanted one.

[Private]

[helenchanted]

What would a Velvet Room Attendant want with a figurine?

...did she specify which one?

[Private]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

"an action figure of Phoenix Ranger Featherman R", as a gift for her brother.

...which poses the question of why her brother wants one.

[private 1/2]

[helenchanted]

Maybe they have TV...

...as for the figurines themselves, they are pretty hard to come by these days. It was only after a reairing of the original episodes did they start producing another line and even that had a very limited run...

[Private 2/2]

[helenchanted]

...which if course, I learned about because another of my teammates enjoyed the show. His name is Junpei Iori? [Miki that is the worst lie.]

Anyway he's not here.

...but if he didn't mention anything specific, I have a few doubles that...would...be....okay for me to part with...I'm keeping the rest...in case....that...teammate shows up again.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I see. Are you sure? I'd hate to impose on...Junpei.

[helenchanted]

...I--He has a few that are triples, if he complains I'll just give him money.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Well thank you very much, and thank Junpei as well for me. I think I'll take you up on that offer.

[virtualbirdwatching]

"Phoenix Ranger Featherman R"... It sounds a little like it might be one of those action shows.

And an action figure is just a little toy made to look like a person.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

So in this case, a "Phoenix Ranger Featherman R action figure" would be a toy of a character from a show.

[virtualbirdwatching]

Yes, that's right... It's not a show I've ever heard of though so I can't actually help you get it. I'm sorry...

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I think I might have what I need, but thank you for the information.

So I haven't watched many "shows" here. I figured out that's what a television is for, but the 2D kind of strains my eyes. What kind of things am I missing, exactly?

[virtualbirdwatching]

I wouldn't really know either, actually. I didn't have a lot of opportunity to watch TV even before I woke up here.
