004 ☆ Video (Dec. 4th; afternoon)

[stuporgenius]

[ Chris has a focused and determined expression on his face once the video begins, squinting at the screen before tapping at the surface. After a moment, he lets out a frustrated sigh. ]

Just when I start getting used to the old one, they give me this. Guess I'll just have to read the manual later.

[ He sets the communicator down on the bathroom

[At least someone else isn't having much luck either? Amiti's holding his at an odd angle. He...won't comment on the "action".]

...

These new communicators are confusing. I'm not sure how they are even able to function like the old ones.

[stuporgenius]

Aren't they?? They don't even have buttons! I don't even know how to get to the text function.

....actually, I don't even know how I started up the video in the first place.

[notwaterjesus]

Somehow the image is able to control it? I've never seen such technology... I'm not sure why mine is working either exactly.

[stuporgenius]

I think you can do something by a voice command. [ He stares at the screen thoughtfully before shaking his head and offering a dumb grin. ]

Anyway, how ya been?

[notwaterjesus]

That's even more peculiar.

Oh, I've been well. I am still working on learning the ways of this place and its powers. And you?

[stuporgenius]

You'll get there, Amiti! Just follow my lead. I'll be awesome enough for the both of us!

Heh, but I've been pretty good!

[notwaterjesus]

... You're certainly confident.

Ah, good! Only these new devices seem to be troublesome, then.

[stuporgenius]

Well I am pretty great, you gotta admit.

[ Self-praise aside, he looks off thoughtfully. ]

From the looks of it, a few people aren't too happy with 'em. They should've given us a choice, I think.

[notwaterjesus]

[Not touching that one...]

Yes, I don't think everything was considered in this decision. How can they expect all of us to understand such strange machines?

[stuporgenius]

Because they don't know what it's like to live in a world without electricity. But hey, we had magic at least!

....which I guess they kinda do too, but none of us can access that.

[notwaterjesus]

Good point. I wonder how people would fare if they suddenly awoke in my world with its powers...

Yes, it's been an odd adjustment.

[stuporgenius]

Haha, maybe you can drag them there after this whole thing is done!

....except BREW probably won't do that, huh?

[notwaterjesus]

I doubt it. Anyone would certainly be welcome in Ayuthay if that happened, though.

[stuporgenius]

I'd like to see it! Sounds like a nice place.

And it could probably use someone as great as me to spice it up, too!

[notwaterjesus]

It is a beautiful kingdom. The people are all hard workers. [Totally not biased either, nope.]

Ahh...perhaps. Some of my friends seem capable of that as well.

[stuporgenius]

But not to my brilliant extent!
