video; 003 - accidental.

[Now, normally Jim is a lot more careful with his SFC. He has seen these accidental posts, and he'd rather avoid the whole matter himself. Normally, yes. But today he is very distracted. So distracted that he doesn't really notice his fingers brushing over the wrong button as he sets down the device, before tossing his coat out of the camera's view

[ ... !!! ]

It's floating! How did you do that?

[myowncourse]

[Huh? oh, someone was... listening.]

It has a small anti-gravity module underneath. The sail generators enough power to drive that and the thrust.

[singularjustice]

Anti-gravity module? How is that put together? Does it work by putting out air pressure or some sort of magnetics? Is that normal technology in your world?

[ The mechanics of it all obviously have gotten him a little excited. ]

[myowncourse]

[Insert a very short, to the point explanation of the anti-gravity module here. Seriously. How does that shit even work?]

It's pretty common. Though this is an old model.

[singularjustice]

[ Magic.

N is rather fascinated. ]

That's amazing! Did you build all of that, then? You must be very good! Can I see it sometime? I want to know how to make them!

[myowncourse]

I'm gonna guess they don't have anything like this where you are from.

[Still Jim is kinda pleased. This kid seems pretty smart. And he is interested in technology and building it. He doesn't really get that at home.]

I've just got a lot of experience. I've been building sailor surfers since I was eight. But if you are really interested in them, I could show you, I suppose.

[singularjustice]

[ Lights. Up. ]

Really? That'd be great!

[myowncourse]

[Oh god. This place still kinda sucks with how it is keeping them captive and all, but finding people interested in technology is awesome.]

It's not that big a deal, really.

[singularjustice]

I'm N, by the way!

[ Beam. ]

[myowncourse]

What, was M taken?

[Welp. He can't help the snarky comments sometimes. It's cool. You'll get used to it.]

I'm Jim. Jim Hawkins.

[singularjustice]

...I don't know. Ghetsis never told me why he named me N.

[ Yeah, that snark just went straight over N's head. ]

It's nice to meet you!

[myowncourse]

Ghetsis? Your dad?

[Stick with him, N, and he will teach you snark.]

[singularjustice]

[ ... ]

I do not know. He may be my biological father. I do not think he fits the typical definition of "dad."

[myowncourse]

[Ouch. That sounds familiar.]

Well, ain't that a familiar story.

[singularjustice]

...it is?

[ N looks surprised. ]

I thought most people had fathers, in the familial sense.

[myowncourse]

[He looks a little down, not really meeting N's eyes.]

Well, I guess not everybody can be as lucky as that.
