[So Sannan is still figuring out this magical book business, something that becomes wholly evident when the video feed comes on to a full shot of his face. Thankfully, he's managed to find his clothes since his arrival...

Also, there may or may not be a Heisuke in the background talking to him just out of anyone else's earshot.]Oh, so it's this

video/action for sannan

[cuteobsessed]

[Heisuke is laughing and can be seen/heard in the background.]

Kinda confusing, ain't it?

[saintlyvice]

[STOP LAUGHING AT HIM ;A; LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH.

One hand covers his face as he smiles awkwardly.]

I think I made that pretty obvious.

action

[cuteobsessed]

[MMMM NAH. /KEEPS LAUGHING.]

Nah, you're doing okay. Took me awhile. Hell, I still don't got it.

[.../FALLS INTO DEPRESSION]

Hopefully, it'll get easier over time. [He frowns as he notices the other little magical symbols on the side of the page. His finger hovers over them, but no touching because we all know how that turned out last time.]

What are these all for?

[ahappylie]

Yamanami-san!

[Okita is waving frantically at him from the video feed.]

Yamanami-san! When did you arrive?

video

[saintlyvice]

Oh--

[Sannan waves back...slowly...(How come he didn't immediately berate him for leaving?)]

Only yesterday, actually.

video

[ahappylie]

[He peers into the video feed, trying to figure out where Yamanami and Heisuke are. He knows Heisuke is here - and saw the scar - but he hasn't seen Yamanami yet.]

Oh! I'm sorry I didn't greet you right away. Where are you? I can hear Toudou-kun there, but...

video

[saintlyvice]

It's alright, Toudou-kun found me right away. [small laugh]

We're in one of the houses - I think number forty? Something like that.

[voice]

[cookingninja]

...Yamanami-san? You're here, as well?

video --> voice | 1/2

[saintlyvice]

You--! [That voice...! Sannan fumbles around with the controls yes, he's unaware that one doesn't need to reply through the same medium, trying to switch to the voice function, but in the mean time, the video captures his complete and utter shock in all its glory...]

voice

[saintlyvice]

[--and he gets it. The video flickers off.]

...Ayumu-san? How...

voice

[cookingninja]

Ah. Well, people seem to be brought here from different points in time. I'm not certain how it all works, but then being here in the first place doesn't make much sense either, does it?

[Video] Hope this is okay?

[consultmybooks]

Yes, they do take some getting used to, don't they?

[Considering that Giles' return was marked by him trying to figure out the journals all over again, he feels some degree of sympathy.]

Don't worry.

video | haha yes this is fine ^^

[saintlyvice]

It's very--[Sannan frowns as he examines the video. The idea that he can watch what others are doing like this is just very...it must be very invasive.] interesting, yes.

I hope the learning curve is not as steep as it so far appears.

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

[What he's seeing right now is a stairwell of one of the community buildings. And he may be able to see Giles, but Giles has his eyes closed and can't see him.]

It isn't. They're meant to be something that anyone can learn to use.

And most of the villagers will forgive a bad transmission or two, especially from new feathers.

Re: video

[saintlyvice]

Oh, that's relieving. [This is so curious. And the man is Western: Sannan has had regrettably little experience with Western men, so just seeing one is sort of a strange...commodity.]

I guess they must have to deal with these all the time; they must all be very patient.

[video]

[folkloristic]

[ A new feather, hm? Helios has a slight smile on his face before he responds. ] Mm it took us all a little while to get used to. Unless you're used to technology like this.

[ Have a confused face from him. He still has trouble doing that...filtering thing. Technology, he will never understand you. ]

Fascinating what they can do though!

video

[saintlyvice]

[Staring a little bit because hello western man--but thenk he blinks and remembers himself] Ah, that's reassuring.

And yes, it is indeed fascinating. I've never seen anything like this before.

video

[folkloristic]

Most of us haven't! It takes a bit getting used to, actually. But gladly the people here are nice enough to answer your questions, should you have any. [ A pause before he continues again. ]

Has anyone told you much about this place yet? [ Well this man at least seems like he has friends here already, but just to be on the safe side. ]

video

[saintlyvice]

Ah, yes, I've noticed. I'm glad to have received such a warm welcome.

...bits and pieces. It's all difficult to comprehend, but I guess that all I can do is accept it all for the moment.
