[001 | video] So put on your best, boys

[ofawitch]

[The video clicks on to a woman in her late teens, with very red hair and very green eyes and a very British sort of accent, clearing her throat in that slightly nervous way associated with public speaking. Working the Guide - turning it on anyway - was fairly easy, after looking over all the knobs. Lucky she'd been raised in a Muggle household;

[oh what...was that. Did she break it? This isn't exactly 1979 level technology, it's entirely possible she broke it being out-of-date and old-fashioned, the way her dad was always messing up her 8-track when she'd come home for the holidays.]

Erm. Hallo?

Re: [voice]

[ofawitch]

[RADIO SILENCE this is bad.]

Ha--hello? Hello? [she moves the guide closer to her mouth, like one does a walkie-talkie - frowns at it] Brilliant. Really brilliant, Lily. Gone and broken it, only tool for finding anyone in this - brilliant.

[Wow, Harry and now... Lily? Well, you certainly look younger.]

Is that a dog? Merlin's bloody--

[excuse her as she presses buttons, how did she get a dog on the screen??]

[Ammy just watches... before texting]

Calm down please. And I'm a wolf actually.

[ofawitch]

I am calm--

[...oh]

I'd thought I'd broken it, sorry.

[You think the Vogons are strange. But Vivi's tiny and cute and won't hurt you!]

Y-yeah, it is really hard to believe when you first hear it.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

[oh my god what are you you're adorable in a vaguely creepy way!]

I suppose they told you the same thing then?

[He is a squishable black mage!]

Uh-huh...well, other people on the ship explained it better. I accidentally made the lady mad before she told me much. [At least you don't think the Guide has ghosts in it like he did.]

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

Right, I read all that paperwork...just a bit hard to swallow. How many people - is that the right word even? People? Passengers. How many passengers, do you think?

They are ugly, aren't they? Be glad none of them tried to read any poetry. It's been known to make people's minds explode.

You've probably got a lot of questions. Do you need anything answered right away? [ He is being nice but then again pretty lady needing help triggers all of Sho's little protect buttons. ]

Oh- [still getting used to the whole suddenly-people-talking thing, she's a bit startled.] Hello. Well, they assigned me a room, it seems. I don't suppose you're any good at directions?

Re: VIDEO

[urnotafraid]

Well, the Guides can pull up a map and everything with a little messing around with them, but if you want, I could show you the way. It'll be easier than saying 'first door on the left and straight on until you hit the pseudo-pod break-dancers'.

Re: VIDEO

[ofawitch]

Can they? [she looks down at it a bit helplessly] That's handy. Not sure you could find me even if you tried, to be honest, I've no idea where I am.

[sorry Lily, but he's shirtless, so you get voice-only for now]

Don't worry about it. If you can make an announcement and switch the guide off, you're already lightyears ahead of half of the new arrivals who can't figure out the guide from their own behind and end up "accidentally" making posts about the hemorrhagic tendencies of said behinds.

Re: [VOICE]

[ofawitch]

[DARN! She makes a face at the imagery]

Honestly? That's disgusting.

Re: [VOICE]

[cakefesta]

You have no idea.

That's like school all over again, that is, only worse. And in space, I suppose.
