Why do you keep telling us to stop? Stop what?

talkstohishorse January 22 2009, 16:00:19 UTC

Not stop like a command, STOP like a period in a telegraph. Don't any of you 21st century folks know your history?

berrysayswhat January 22 2009, 16:10:44 UTC

Is that like text messaging?

talkstohishorse January 22 2009, 16:15:12 UTC

Text messaging? Well it sends messages in text form over long distance, if that helps.

berrysayswhat January 22 2009, 16:36:36 UTC

I text from a phone if I bother to do it at all. Dunno about your way of doing it.

talkstohishorse January 22 2009, 16:40:47 UTC

So you've got like a phone and a telegraph in one?

berrysayswhat January 22 2009, 16:59:09 UTC

Uh...well, some of them play videos and stuff, but I never used that function on mine. Rukia's could detect Hollows, though.

talkstohishorse January 22 2009, 17:05:12 UTC

Woah hey, go slow there, I've got almost 120 years to catch up on here.

What's a video and what's a Hollow?

berrysayswhat January 22 2009, 17:11:45 UTC

Really? Where the heck are you from?

Videos are-like moving pictures with sound. And Hollows are sort of-bad spirits. Monsters, kinda. But I haven't seen any around since I've been here.

Don't feel like I'm really "from" anywhere, but I tend to be around San Francisco, when I'm not on the trail. And I tell ya, I knew moving pictures were gonna be big someday. Good thing they got sound coordinated with them. Not all the piano players who played the music for them were Mozart, if you know what I mean.

Monsters, huh? No relation to the monsters here, then?

berrysayswhat January 23 2009, 00:09:40 UTC

...sounds like you're a long way from home. I mean, we all are-but I think you're from elsewhere in time, too. Huh. So people used to play pianos at the movies? Weird.

No. I almost wish they were. I could deal with those better.

talkstohishorse January 23 2009, 00:17:22 UTC

Geez kid, what's your school been teaching you? Movies didn't have sound, so any dialogue was text on the screen and the soundtrack was played live. Most of the music sounded alot alike too so it got real old after a while.

I see. Haven't seen 'em yet, but from what I hear that's a good thing.
