❀ one | video

[ The first thing you see when the video turns on is... the street and the native citizens peacefully passing by. That doesn't last long, though, and only a second later it starts randomly panning in every direction possible at an incredibly fast pace, before it finally stops and seems to settle to show the face of a young woman with her quite prominent and unusual tattoos covering her face, tilting her head in confusion.

Hi, I come from a typical RPG medieval fantasy world sort of setting. What is technology.

She spends about half a minute just staring while moving the cell phone around a bit, the camera eventually panning downwards to give one a brief view of her clothes, which, suffice to say, do not belong anywhere in the "real world", not in any era, and upwards to show a staff strapped behind her back, before going back to showing just her face and incredibly confused her face. ]


Oh. So this isn't just a black funny looking-box? Yes, that's definitely not a box, I don't think you could fit anything in here and boxes usually don't open this way. [ Thanks to the presence of automatic translation, English speakers will hear a highly noticeable Welsh accent in her speech. ] Everything about it is so... strange, though. Probably the strangest thing I've ever seen. I don't even know what to call it because it doesn't look like anything at all. Oh, maybe just a bit like a mirror. Like a really, really small Eluvian. Except black. And shiny. And made out of some strange material. And showing little boxes and symbols in a strange language except for the past. And with some kind of thing attached to it that has those little things on them that you can press on and they make what appears on it change...

[ She trails off, and then sighs, looking rather more discouraged than earlier. The camera proceeds to pan backwards and show the sky and then the street again; that would be Merrill, as she hold the cell phone in her hands, lowering it downwards as she evidently gives up on staring it in hopes of it providing some kind of answer. Her voice, while still heard, becomes quieter and quieter and more difficult to hear due to the distance. ] But it's still not helpful at all! ...How did I even wind up with this in my hand? I certainly don't remember ever taking it....

As it is, the "box" also has many useful functions and capabilities.

A funny looking-box? [deep thinking... THEN HE LAUGHS] You're right, this thing really is like a funny box!

It's a phone! We use them to communicate. Everyone with that model and this preloaded contact list is... well, we're all trapped here.

[ Wow, this person sort of talks a lot.. and you know it's really true if Usagi of all people is the one thinking that, true facts right here, but she just blinks at the screen before giggling instead. ]

Is it really that difficult to notice what it is? They're smaller than what I'm used to, but still pretty common, you know!

Merrill then. I don't blame you for being confused, this place is quite shocking when you first arrive here. Has anyone been able to answer your questions yet?
namedforcat: (head tilt)

[personal profile] namedforcat 2012-02-21 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, you'll have to forgive them if it's been like that. We get a lot of people who arrive here confused, so people tend to just jump on the common questions right off the bat.

I have to say you're a little more then just 'lost'. Also, we're all in the same situation so we're trying to all stick together.

I guess you could sort of say it's like a box. You can still store things in it. Just... not the way you store things in a regular box and all.

An Eluvian? [guuurl what are you even talking about i mean no okay LET'S BE HELPFUL] I believe it does, yes. I primarily use it for communication, but it should be capable of a number of different functions if I recall correctly. However, I am... not terribly familiar with such technology in general

I don't know. That's just what people say. I need to get home, too...
