[Arya has gotten the basic mechanics of this thing worked out - mostly with Alayne's help, but okay also with general poking at and figuring wtf a space bar is for. So there's some garbled text at first - she hit the phone with her elbow - and then the video clicks on. Arya's turned away, and what's visible of her profile is distressed. It's hard ( Read more... )

[So Percy's been putting off making this message, largely because he doesn't just want to publicly announce to all you mortals who and what he is, but it's been three/four days at this point and he needs to get home. Now. They're officially running out of time on the Great Prophecy, and it's going to kill him knowing he's stuck here while Kronos's ( Read more... )

[Would you look at that; Scott has learned how to use his phone without even being able to see it. All you're getting, however, is his voice. It's perfectly controlled and commanding, masking his uneasiness about the little event that just transpired.]

X-Men- any and all of you- sound off if you're alright. [He pauses.] It'll be nice to know how ( Read more... )

[Hope everyone enjoys shaky cam time, as Burke is still very new to technology and most certainly his phone. But he manages to get it going and thinks he's got that fancy moving picture thing going on and turns the video on a familiar figure, that he's got sitting upright in a simple kitchen chair... tied to it.]Not sure what all that business was ( Read more... )

[He's resorted to the odd piece of technology as a last ditch effort, cradling it in an unsteady hand. Gray eyes squint down at the screen, clouded with wincing pain.]

I don't know... where this is exactly, and I'm not expecting an answer. From anyone. [His voice is hoarse, all but scraped from his throat, ragged and broken in places. Sheer ( Read more... )

[The voice that comes through over the communication is calm, smooth, but most definitely carries an edge to it. The speaker is calm, for the time being, but she is more than just a little irritated, and it’s noticeable.]If this is some kind of a joke, then I can assure you that it’s not as amusing as you might think. I might not know exactly how ( Read more... )

By the goddess, if this is what waking up dead feels like I never wish to do so again. This device is...rather primitive, nothing similar in our technology back home. [Though she’s intrigued. This was a antique human device, was it not?] Fascinating, I never dreamed I would get my hands on something like this. It's amazing to think of what history ( Read more... )

[The voice on the other end of the line is English. English, and very irritated. This isn't RP English, though. This is a thick, Derby accent. But whilst all the words may not be 100% clear, the tone carries all too well.]

Er. Do you want to tell us what's going on? 'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna start kickin' the shit out of you ( Read more... )

[He’s managed to go out and find himself some clothing, and spent the night sulking over the cellphone. Sans lighter, instead of the sound of that being open and snapped shut to go with the audio, there’s the distinct sound of knuckles being cracked and popped every second or so.]

So this is some shit. I managed to pass advance TV watching in school ( Read more... )

Maybe you fell asleep, maybe you were knocked out. Maybe you were in the middle of a fight, maybe you don't even remember what you were doing at all. But regardless, you remember the darkness. It's crushing, all-encompassing. It fills your lungs and presses it's weight down on your shoulders, suffocating, overwhelming. It's so dark you can't tell ( Read more... )
