one [accidental video]

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[it's early evening when leanne finds herself in prospero, and instead of her handgun, she now has a cellphone. a device she has no idea how to use or what it even is. see, they don't have this type of technology in basel. so after hitting quite a few buttons on the little device, her face can be seen in deep concentration as she accidentally begins broadcasting a video. she whines now.] It says 'Video' but nothing's happening~

[the video shakes and pans out to show the sky as she continues talking to herself.] Oh-! I can take pictures!? I'm going to take all sorts of pictures for Zephyr- oops! [the video swirls around before falling still against the ground, leanne can be seen on the video partially hidden behind grass until she picks the phone up again.]

I hope I didn't break it... [she plays with the phone some more, her face only partially shown with the sky as a backdrop.] Wow, this thing has everything! I wonder what 'Email' is? And 'Voicemail' for that matter... I can send my voice in a letter? Wait- what's this?

[the camera moves and shows her entire face as she squints at it now. her eyes widen a bit after a moment.] Oh! Can other people see this?! [she smiles and waves with her free hand.] Hi whoever is watching! Zephyr and Vashyron, if you're seeing this- don't worry, I'm okay!

[voice for now]

[ what is he even watching... when the girl ends her message, all that be heard is a muffled snerk. ]

[voice] hehe

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[oh! she can hear a person. so this is like a phone or something, right? a phone you can use for all sorts of other things as well.] Hey, who's there?

huhuhu

[starbounds.livejournal.com]

[ damn, she heard that. shouldn't she be paying attention to other stuff? he ponders responding and after some very long moments, he decides to play along. ] Me.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

... [there's silence for a moment at that. when she finally speaks she sounds somewhat amused and accusatory.] Zephyr, is that you?

[starbounds.livejournal.com]

[ what the hell is a zephyr- oh wait, she mentioned something like that earlier, didn't she? a person? ] Mmmm nope.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

Oh. [she sounds slightly disappointed.] Then I don't know who 'me' is.

[starbounds.livejournal.com]

No one. [ a long bout of silence. ] You just got here, huh.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

You know, I've never met anyone named 'no one'. But I did just get here! Do you know where here is?

[starbounds.livejournal.com]

[ is this girl serious. aaanyway. ] Pro...something. Oh, Prospero. Yeah. You're stuck here, just like the rest of us.

You don't have email or video? Where do you live?

[Maybe Africa or someplace... She doesn't look African, though.]

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[oh no how does reply back. it's a few minutes before she finally manages to read the message and reply.]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Basel, huh? What kind of place is that?

[text]

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[she's surprised by that. how does this person not know what basel is.]



[and something occurs to her again now that she's thinking about it.]

[text]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of it, so obviously not everyone does.

Why's it so bad?

I don't see anybody getting sick right now. Maybe we're far enough away that everything's clean without it.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[well, that sounds plausible... all she really knows is what she's been told.]

[Video and voice]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ A craggy faced man with blonde hair and slight freckles pops into the videoscreen. ]

Greetings, Mamzel. [ He booms to her, in a deep voice. ]

[video and voice]

[outstays.livejournal.com]

[whoa that voice. but she smiles at the screen and waves again.] Hello! How are you?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I endure. How do you do?

[ Garviel doesn't smile back, but he acknowledges the wave with a grave nod. ]

[outstays.livejournal.com]

I'm doing well enough considering. Ending up here so suddenly isn't what I expected.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I think that is the case for most of us, in fact. So, are you from Terra or another place, like myself?

My name is Garviel Loken, and I hail from Cthonia.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

Terra? [she has no idea what that is.] No, I live on Basel in Ebel City. It's nice to meet you, Garviel. My name's Leanne. But I've never heard of that place before...

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

And that is not surprising, few people have heard of Cthonia unless they are born there, it is a dying planet of abandoned hives and long-cold mines.

[outstays.livejournal.com]

Planet? You mean you're not even from this world?
