-=screen blinks on as it sails through the air, the picture of a carousel horse growing closer and closer before CRACK! There is a moment of static and then everything is jumbled until it falls still against the ground, image on it's side=-

-on't give a damn about the fucking box!

[ quietly ]

I fear you might stress yourself needlessly if you stay angry. While I understand your frustration, it can't help.

-=jumps slightly when the 'box' starts talking to him again=- Who's there? Show yourself!!

-=shakes the box=-

[ voice ]

[invocadora]

[ silence on her end, as she's just realized that the mysterious machina also shows images. there is a yelp, and then a sharp intake of breath. ]

I-I'm not there, strangely enough. This machina enables me to see you.

It's strange, isn't it?

[ video ]

[tanukiryu]

....what the hell is machina?

-=peers closer at the little image=-

Who are you??

[ video ]

[invocadora]

[ blink ]

You can see me, too?

What you're holding. Anything uh.. mechanical, she called it. That's right.

My name is Yuna. And you are?

[ faint smile ]

[ video ]

[tanukiryu]

Machine? A westerner's invention?

-=does not look pleased=-

...

Himura Kenji.

[invocadora]

Well the Al-Bhed do live in the West of my world, so.. yes? In a way!

[ small frown, but she brightens anyway ]

It's nice to meet you!

[ video ]

[tanukiryu]

-=sets it down=- I hate western things.

[ video ]

[invocadora]

[ blue and green eyes blink at him ]

Why? It's nothing harmful, though the Teachings state otherwise..

[ video ]

[tanukiryu]

Because westerners are destroying the country with their...things!

[ video ]

[invocadora]

Your country.. That's awful.

I believe it is the people themselves and not the machina that do the harm, though.

[ video ]

[tanukiryu]

-=looks a bit confused at the 'your country' comment=-

Of course it's the people. They're the ones coming in and taking away our traditions because they aren't civilized enough for their precious modern world.

[invocadora]

[ frowns deeply, aghast ]

That's not going to end well.

[ quiet voice ]

In Spira, two city-states waged war against each other. Machina meant to kill were used, and I think.. Zanarkand paid the price. It was a situation similar to what you're describing.

Re: [ video ]

[tanukiryu]

-=wait... what?=-

What the hell is Spira?

[ video ]

[invocadora]

[ frown ]

Can you please refrain from speaking so rudely to me? Thank you.

[ sigh ]

Spira is the world I come from. I'm not from yours, as you can tell.

-=clenches his jaw, trying really damn hard not to snap at her again=-

I can't tell much of anything right now.
