[Video] || Experiment 1 Ͽ

[scholastical]

[The dreamberry clicks on, and the face of the man that peers into it is excited...Though if one looks closely, there is a fresh, spreading bruise across one of his temples. He had a bit of a run-in with a malicious scarecrow.

Still, his excitement is unmistakable.]

Goodness, is this--

It is recording my voice, isn't it? But such a device has only

Comments

[lethal_smile]

It is a fascinating little device, isn't it? I didn't quite understand it either, when I first arrived in this place.

It's powered by something called a 'battery' which typically combines two or more cells full of electrically charged chemicals in order to produce a current.

[2/2]

[scholastical]

A communications device? That's incredible! How such a small device can transmit something like our voices--

...A 'battery'? How utterly fascinating! Do you know where I might find one of these batteries? I would prefer to avoid taking this device apart before discovering all of its functions...

[lethal_smile]

Oh, it can transmit much more than just our voices. As you can see, there's also video and um.... it can also record other things, I'm afraid. [Like dreams, but Hakkai doesn't like that feature at all.]

You should be able to find a battery in the nearest store. They're pretty much everywhere. Stores that sell general merchandise, groceries, and drug stores all have them.

[He blinks into the device, surprised.]

Lady Lyn--

[Aaaand the call is cut off. And Canas doesn't understand the device well enough to know how to call someone back, unfortunately, much as he's been fiddling with it.]

Oh dear.

[Still...Her surroundings had been familiar. Canas looks around, and starts to walk, hoping to stumble over her.]

[Action]

[scholastical]

[So after a bit more walking in the snow (and thankfully only a bit more, he's getting tired), he spots the familiar green hair. A familiar face is always nice.]

Oh...! Lady Lyn!

[defrauder]

Curious, aren't you? I'm going to guess you're a scientist of some sort.

[Hint of disdain in his voice? No, you imagined it. ♥]

[scholastical]

[Hint of disdain? Completely unnoticed.]

Oh, I am merely a simple scholar. But I do love to learn new things.

[defrauder]

[... a scholar could be of use. Noted.]

Is that so? And where might you come from, if you aren't familiar with a typical device resembling a cell phone?

[scholastical]

...A 'cell phone'? A small compartment, or small home, or-- And a unit of sound, especially speech...Ah.

No, there isn't anything quite like this back in my home. I'm from Ilia, from the continent of Elibe.

Oh, my name is Canas. It's nice to meet you...?

[unfearful]

Um... are you all right?

[scholastical]

Perfectly fine, thank you!

[He grins.]

Why do you ask?

[unfearful]

Well, you have a bruise on your head...

[scholastical]

Oh!

There was a scarecrow, and it took me by surprise. I hadn't expected there to be semi-sentient, man-made creatures here, though truly, that is quite fascinating, really.

[ragnalol]

It's powered by dreams! And unicorn tails. And the blood of virgin sacrifices.

The bruise adds character, though. Where'd you get it?

[scholastical]

[You jerk, Loki. He believes you, pausing and blinking.]

Dreams? That would agree with the information the other--

Unicorn tails and the blood of virgin sacrifices...? That would be a rather unefficent source of power, wouldn't it?

[Then he laughs a little sheepishly.]

Oh, well, I hadn't expected the scarecrow to move. Though the small fact that they can really opens up many possibilities for further studies!

[ragnalol]

[...:D]

Not really. Have you tried them? Blood magic is pretty powerful, you know.

Eh? You should be more careful! Even the roses here are known to be poisonous sometimes.

[scholastical]

[That pings him. He's excited now.]

Magic through the use of blood? I've never heard of such a practice. How does it work, exactly? How is it powerful, exactly? In offensive abilities, or--

...Poisonous roses? Really?
