Avitus figured out how to use the network! Next task: figuring out how to use the watch.... [Video]
((A day or two after Christmas....))
The first view everyone gets is of a blue person, apparently kind of confused, looking over the camera. Because what is this thing? Still fiddling with it, probably doesn't realize it's on.... the view tilts a bit as they continue to inspect the watch, and the viewer gets to see over their shoulder. A big black shape moves a bit behind them, over said shoulder; it's a feather-covered wing. And behind it, there's... lights.
Everyone's seen the Christmas lights that've been up around the city lately... but this? It looks like some of those fancy lamps sold in specialty shops; one of them is on the wall and appears to be a garland of flowers, with a little light in the middle of each blossom. Another is on the table and looks more like a vase of flowers, more little lights in the center of each of them, matching the petal colors, plus a few shining through the colorful glass below. Another looks remarkably like a small tree of some kind, covered in clear green strands, much like tinsel, rather than leaves, but with the ends of a good few of the branches drooping down to end in more little lights. Looks rather a lot like a miniature weeping willow, actually. And one more, one which might not use little Christmas light LEDs for its glow, but looks entirely like a hanging brazier... except, that can't be fire in it; it isn't moving. Looks more like the burdie got creative and made a cover for the bulb out of stained glass that makes it look like a fire is sitting in the middle of the bowl.
The view doesn't last too long before he realizes that it's already broadcasting his video, and then he straightens it, putting on a slightly sheepish little smile and taking a breath to relax.
"H-hi. I-- my name's Avitus, and I just got here, and I... guess I'm a little late for the Solstice festival stuff that's been going on, but... I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some lamps anyway."
He shifts the view back to the little table and the wall behind it, deliberately this time, pulling his wing out of the picture. "I can do others too... I just... I was kind of messing around with these ones first, is all.
"Anyway... um... let me know if you're interested, all right?"
And he'll spend the next fifteen seconds or so trying to cut the feed. Guess who isn't used to this level of technology at all! :D
((Actually, if anyone wants, I can easily enough explain how to make any of those lamps (well, similar!) though the hanging one would potentially be trickiest. But that one need not involve actual stained glass. None of them would be particularly expensive, either... We're talking about post-holiday-sale lights, plastic like you end up with from 2-liter soda bottles, maybe some wire coat hangers, colored tissue paper, etc... stuff like that.))

Sorry for taking so long, I needed a map so I could figure stuff out. XD
I'm all the way over at Pisces, but I can go over there right now.

*and picking up that brazier, going to just carry it wherever.*
no subject
Nah, don't go wasting your effort like that. It's really unnecessary. Just wait where I can see you and I'll be right over.
[Translation: Better head down that building, burdie, and wait just outside. She's familiar with Libra District, so! 8D;]

*and she can see from the background moving around that he's going to his apartment's door. Except he pauses there a sec, glancing at his hands... and then shifts his stance a little, and she'd hear the door open anyway. He just... used one of his feet like a hand, and grabbed it with his toes, one assumes. XD ...he even closes it after him, glancing over his shoulder to do so, putting his wing aside and out of his way so he can see what he's doing there as he does. And she'd get to see the outside of his door -- "Avitus" is there by his apartment number, if she's curious as to which one he's in. He's either really not trying to keep any of this a secret, or he's just that clueless about the camera. Probably both.* I'll be down there in just a moment.
no subject
Works for me. I'll be there in just a sec.

*It's not going to take him long to get down those eleven flights of stairs, to the bottom of Libra's apartment complex... maybe only about as long as it takes her to ride the elevator down and get to the transporter. She'll find him in the building's entryway, as he'd said he'd be, somewhat absently smoothing down his robe, so it's not twisted around under his sash oddly.*
*Behold, Shepard! A big blue-and-black avian-type person! None of the sapient races in ME had feathers, did they? Scales, slick water-friendly skin, or armor plates, sure, but feathers?*
