2nd Quest ♔ [ Audio ]

Oct 15, 2011 20:42

[Before Alistair opens his journal, a loud yelp of surprise (that manages to sound equally incredulous) emanates from room 3138. Anyone within the vicinity has a gooood chance of hearing it.

[But before he can get any angry neighbors banging on his door, Alistair throws open his journal and addresses it.]

Ha haaaa! Veeeeeery funny, Zevran. I know ( Read more... )

♔ - disapproves of this, → audio, ! in character

[Room 3169 could hardly be called the 'vicinity', but then, he'd been about to enter his room when Alistair shrieked yelped... and he had a lot better hearing than any human. But tracing the room back to its source would be slightly harder, and rude, so he chances the journal first and catches this.]

I know I wasn't the one addressed, however... are you, ah... all right?

[That sort of noise usually means nothing good. That goes for what's probably a human as well, right?]

[audio] adorabastard October 16 2011, 12:38:13 UTC

[Yelping? What yelping. There was totally no yelping. Noooope.]

As well as I can be, considering. Don't I sound all right?

[audio] angleofscience October 16 2011, 12:42:45 UTC

[Oh, very sorry. Of course there wasn't!]

... To be perfectly honest; no. There's still indicators of stress in your voice, if I can extrapolate from other organic species. [He sounds perfectly calm, if a bit concerned.]

I assume whatever, ah, startled you has been solved?

[audio] adorabastard October 16 2011, 12:53:09 UTC

... I'm sorry, could you repeat that middle-bit? The part with the extra-something, and the bit about species? I don't think I quite caught it.

[Or rather, he just wants to hear it again, to make sure he heard it right.]

[audio] angleofscience October 16 2011, 12:57:56 UTC

Extrapolate? [Sigh. He really apparently needs to dumb down be more clear in the words he choose.] Basically, if I can draw a comparative conclusion about what indicates stress in your voice from other organic species.

[There. That ought to be clear enough, right? And he did repeat it, too!]

[audio] adorabastard October 16 2011, 13:01:18 UTC

[Science-y things? WHATEV, MAN, he's got a sword.]

There's the word. And the "organic species" bit again. By that, I'm guessing you're not one?

[audio -> video] angleofscience October 16 2011, 13:07:44 UTC

[Don't be rude, he can totally pick up a sword too!]

... Er. No. As it happens, I'm not. [And since he's helpful and can't see an issue with it, have some video instead.]

... I still can't see how this works... But yes, as you can see, I'm not organic. At all, really.

[Not even on the inside, even if he's kinda soft-hearted and nice.]

[audio foreverrrr] adorabastard October 17 2011, 11:34:43 UTC

[Video is still a ~*new and wondrous*~ thing, for him. So, give him a few moments to marvel at that ... as well as try to figure out exactly what he's looking at.]

... Ah. Yes, I can see that. I can't say I know quite what you are.... But yes, definitely not ... organic.

[leet's say perma-video now that it's up] angleofscience October 17 2011, 11:58:03 UTC

[Take all the time you want, Alistair; Jetfire is patient.]

Probably because we either do not exist in your dimension, or haven't turned up at your planet yet... [There's a pause and a small shrug.] No matter what some may think of it... My planet of origin is called Cybertron, so that makes us Cybertronians.

And our frames are made of metal.

adorabastard October 20 2011, 02:36:15 UTC

... I think the first part of that explanation might need an explanation of its own.

[Yup. Most of that just went rrrrright over Alistair's head.]

angleofscience October 20 2011, 15:15:03 UTC

[Slag it, he is useless at this sort of thing, except for it being really annoying! Okay, he can... simplify his explanation. Jetfire crosses his arms and looks briefly away.]

Ah, let's see, then. [Sigh. Just... sigh. How to explain this?] The place you come from..? It isn't the only place where people live; some of those other places exist separate from your own world, so even if you could travel, you'd never actually, through any normal means, reach them.

[Jetfire frowns, unsure if that's adequate at all.]

adorabastard October 25 2011, 05:40:40 UTC

Soooo it's a place beyond where you could physically travel?

[That makes some amount of sense, to him. :|a Maybe it's a bit like the Fade.]

angleofscience October 25 2011, 20:25:01 UTC

At least neither you nor I would normally be able to cross over into each other's dimensions... planes, universes, or worlds, no.

... Though. You emphasised physically. I don't believe we'd have any way at all to cross over, but you've encountered some other place through more... non-conventional travel?

[The idea is improbable, but there must be a reason the man is emphasising that one word like that.]
