Video + Possessed Technology

[godchild]

[The Dreamberry hits the ground and flickers on, the red light blinking as the video call starts to record.

[A few seconds before something blunt pokes at the phone. A scoff, followed by another jab. Is that a cane?]

...

[Another keysmash and resulting series of beeps, then a frowning face comes into view]

What the devil?

[It was!]

I don't recommend hitting the Dreamberry. It doesn't work very well after that point. [yes, he remembers you. No, he doesn't think you remember him. There are signs one notes after a while.]

[godchild]

[This face.

[Congratulations, Draco. Your charm is such that Cain has forgotten about the loathsome device altogether]

Excuse me?

[mudbloodhater]

[well, good. That works just as well.]

You heard me: don't hit it. Particularly with a cane, since then the likelihood of breaking it is fairly good, and I'm not really sure there's anyone around here who knows how to fix it.

And you wouldn't be able to call for help either.

[godchild]

[Does this face look afraid?]

I think I can manage.

[assworthsaving]

[Hooray. It's nice not to be the only new person around here looking confused.]

Never seen a phone before, pal?

[video]

[godchild]

[Have a cane to the face. Er, Dreamberry screen]

Excuse me?

[video]

[assworthsaving]

That thing you're poking? It's a phone. [And a bit more slowly.] Phone. Ya know, you make calls on it, watch videos now apparently. Except they're called something weird here, I dunno, fluffer-nutters, berries, dreamers-- Oh, that's it. Dreamberry.

[godchild]

You don't need to talk to me like I'm a fool. [Just technologically challenged, all right?]

Who are you?

[loyal_judas]

[He's slowly figuring this thing out as well, but he definitely recognizes that voice.]

...Lord Cain?... Is that you?

[godchild]

[And the cane drops with a clatter. Instead of addressing the face on the Dreamberry, Cain turns around to call out to the voice - not having made the connection yet]

Riff?

[loyal_judas]

[Riff wants nothing more then to go through the screen to his Lord.]

No, My lord, the device, it serves as a phone, but with moving pictures as well. How about I come find you instead?

[godchild]

[Cain turned around again, considering the device on the ground. Then he knelt down in the grass, obviously not concerned about his dress pants. He frowned at the little screen in concentration.

[It looked so like Riff, and the voice - perfect. It was strange, but undeniably reassuring]

Where are you? [He inquired, then squinted back up at the sun for a moment, touching his forehead as if feeling for evidence of a wound]

I don't remember leaving London.

[godchild]

[What a shock - Cain does not appreciate, nor trust this greeting, lifting the end of the cane to reveal a scowling face]

Excuse me?

[godchild]

It sounds more like a threat than a friendly gesture, so don't be insulted if I don't thank you.

[Cain has dealt with enough mad people to be suspicious]
