[The scene merely starts with a view of Merrill's thin torso. She's leaned over the device, fiddling with it and... holding it upside down.]

Elgar'nan! Why must this thing have so many buttons? [The guide is shaken a little, turned this way and that and... yeah, this goes on for a while. After a few more crossly muttered oaths invoking Dalish

[Well that was amusing. What the hell, Dante's feeling helpful.]

It helps if you turn it right side up you know.

[You can't see it but Merrill gave a little blink at the sudden, dismebodied voice. After a few moments of silent looking around, searching for the speaker, she gives a tentative:] Hello?

Re: [Video]

[crazy_about_it]

[You can see it, but you might be able to hear Dante laughing.]

Over here. The thing you just put down.

Re: [Video]

[mustnotlikeme]

What about it? [Blinking, she obligingly picks it up and- oh lo and behold. There is a face on it now. ... and upside down face.]

Oh, hello.

I believe the guide for the Guide is on the Guide.

Re: [Audio]

[mustnotlikeme]

Is it really? That's not very helpful. [There's some sounds of the guide being picked up and fiddled with. Merrill is trying to find the guide's guide.]

Re: [Audio]

[be_my_servant]

I'm sure they can get you a physical manual. There might be a form for that.

[She be trollin'.]

Re: [Audio]

[mustnotlikeme]

Another form? [She's disheartened, can you tell?]

[And that's okay, Merrill is easily trolled.]

[Well, at least Fenris has managed to figure out the video function of this guide.

Somewhat. The image is a little shaky as the feed switches on, and he still has a habit of looking at the screen sceptically.]

It's upside-down.

Re: [video]

[mustnotlikeme]

[Science, Fenris. It's science.]

Is it? I really can't tell the difference yet. [She dutifully rights it and sets it back down smiling expectantly.] Hello Fenris.

Re: [video]

[lyriumbranded]

[th-those icon keywords]

[Expectantly? Well, if Merrill is expecting anything reminiscent to friendliness from Fenris right off the bat, she's going to be highly disappointed.]

[A little patronizingly:]

Perhaps you should mark which is the top and which is the bottom.

Re: [video]

[mustnotlikeme]

[Well he is.]

[Oh Fenris, she would never expect that from you. You're far too unhappy for something as cheerful as friendship.]

I wonder if that would really help. This place doesn't seem very fond of ups and bottoms. Do you know I saw someone with his nose where his eyes should be yesterday? It was very interesting.

[man this almost reminds him of the first time he tried working with the Guide >>a]

If they do, I haven't found it yet myself, though it probably does exist out there somewhere...

But in the meantime, would you like some assistance, miss? I can't say I'll be as good as a guide for the Guide, but I'll try my best!

Re: [Voice]

[mustnotlikeme]

Oh, that would be very helpful, yes. [You can't see it Ukitake but she's smiling delightedly.] This is the first time I've ever had a talking book. So I'm sorry if I don't pick up everything right away.

[gravity_splode]

It's called 'talking to people'.

Re: [video]

[mustnotlikeme]

"Talking to people...?" What do you mean?

[video]

[gravity_splode]

You wanted to know about the guide for the guide, riiiight?

Re: [video]

[mustnotlikeme]

Oh. You meant I should talk to people and ask for help. I'm sorry, that was rather silly of me.
