[Rebecca looks a bit haggard--not sleeping much does that to you--but it's business as usual. She and Desmond went to check out the tree though, and as her head throbs from a stacked set of headaches, she's starting to regret it just a little.

She runs her hands through her hair and then, yes, she is talking to YOU.]Hey. I don't know most of you

This... phone [It still feels strange saying that word.] is capable of music?

[Because, you know, she's used to minstrels and their awful, awful music.]

[ video ]

[snowmass84]

Should be. Mine's a smartphone... You just have to load it up.

[ video ]

[bladed_rose]

'Load'...?

[All these terms she doesn't understand. D:]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with what you speak of.

[snowmass84]

You can download it... Find it on a server somewhere and save it to the phone, or you can send or get it from someone else.

...You don't know phones, yeah?

[Desmond has one eyebrow arched slightly, his head tilted in a quizzical manner]

You do know that you just have to find a music store and take whatever you want from that, right?

[snowmass84]

I need it digital, unless you're telling me I can get a loaded MP3 player. You're talking about CDs and a boombox.

[failssassin]

Or a CD and a computer to rip the music. Honestly Becca, I thought that even you would know that. [Yeah, the snarky effect is completely ruined with the grin he's wearing.]

[snowmass84]

[STFU she had't seen any computers yet. She was too busy freaking out. Inwardly. Quietly.]

Alright, so I'm heading out to steal some stuff. Catch ya later...

There is music on this... sorcery? [He has a hard enough time texting 8( ]

[snowmass84]

There's only one decent song on mine, so I've gotta find more. If you loop it too many times, it gets old.

[need_a_hand]

... Loop? [His tiny Crusade brain can't handle this 8| ]

[snowmass84]

If you make it play over and over. Imagine someone saying the same thing a hundred times in a row.

[nerdstomping]

I'm willing to bet everyone has the same music on their phones. And if there is something different, there's no guarantee you'll get exactly what someone gave to you.

[snowmass84]

Awwww, don't tell me that. I was hoping for something better.

So how screwed up are the phones?

[nerdstomping]

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

It runs on different types of batteries - AAA, 329 and 337 watch batteries. Aluminum foil with some weird face on it. Every time you check, you get something different then the last. That answer your question?

[snowmass84]

...Part of me wants to take them all apart, and part of me wants to bury it and never think about it again. So call me interested!

Why would they use those? Low power, expensive after a while. I guess they expect me to steal that, too.

[He doesn't...understand what you're talking about with ringing tones and blue teeth, but one fact is clear. He knows you.]

Rebecca Crane.

[Though this is a different world and she may not recognize him. Let's just take baby steps for now.]

[Video]

[snowmass84]

[What.]

...That's me. What's up?

[Video]

[ofnoblemind]

[He frowns slightly, not speaking right away.]

...You do not recognize me.

It would go to reason that you also may not recognize the name "Promenade."

[If she doesn't, it would be quite disappointing. Making friends is not his forte, but having more allies (or something like them) after arriving in a hell hole would be preferable.]

[snowmass84]

Well, I went to prom maybe ten years ago, but other than that, sorry.

Have we met?
