001 - Accidental Video / Action

[lifeandpride]

[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He makes a grab for the hilt of his sword, but does not draw it - yet.

He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings or the nearby carousel, he looks at the device that suddenly appeared on his person, searching for clues. Accidentally activating the video. Those watching might be treated to a close up of Ukitake's nose hair. ]

What is this?

[virginwings]

Who has? --Oh, you must be new, right!?

[lifeandpride]

[He almost drops the device as it makes noise, trying to hold it up to his ear as if it were a cell phone.]

Pardon? What was that?

[virginwings]

[ummm, how does one explain.]

You must be new! What you're holding is a video picture device that lets you see and talk to people! You don't need it against your ear. ...um, this is the City and the Gods brought you here, I think.

[lifeandpride]

[Give him a moment as he fiddles with the device until he's finally got it at least kind of correct. He holds it out in front of him, after glancing at the picture on the screen.]

The City? Gods? I don't understand... I'm not supposed to be here.

[child_radical]

That would be your network device.

[lifeandpride]

[He looks around to see who is speaking.]

...My what?

[child_radical]

The object you picked up.

action, yeah?

[lifeandpride]

[He finds the source of the voice, finally and looks down since he was shorter than eye level.]

It's a ...network device, you called it?

[He gives another look around before focusing his attention on the device, trying to figure it out.]

[worldofourown]

I implore you, good sir. Treat us to a finer view.

[OMGWTF?! NOSEHAIRS!]

[lifeandpride]

Hello?

[Is an ear canal any better?]

1/2

[worldofourown]

...

[worldofourown]

[Have some yelling. Very LOUD loud yelling.]

HOLD. THE DEVICE. TOWARD. YOUR FACE!

[verysmallpig]

Oh, I know this one! I-it's a nose! [Clearly, very proud.]

OMG PIGLET xD

[lifeandpride]

[It takes him a good amount of fiddling with the device to figure out it was that, which spoke to him. Or at least made the sound - was that a...small pig?]

...A...nose?

1/2 ^^

[verysmallpig]

[Feeling Very Useful.]

Why Yes, I'd know a nose if I saw one. Christopher Robin had one too. But I think he had a smaller one...

2/2

[verysmallpig]

... it Is a nose, isn't it? Oh, d-dear... did I get it wrong?

[oceantrauma]

Ah, he?

And that's your network device. You can communicate to us through it, though I bet someone else has probably explained all of that.

[lifeandpride]

[He's still awkward at using and holding the thing, but he tries. He doesn't notice the question about the 'he.']

Ah...yes, someone has brought that up.

[oceantrauma]

[He lets it pass, for now.]

And they've probably explained about the City, curses, things like that?

audio;

[crowing]

"He"? He who?

[lifeandpride]

[He doesn't see a video this time, so he's a bit confused, but he'll hold out the device away from his face anyway.]

"He?"

[It takes him a moment to realize. Well, if it was Aizen's doing, perhaps it was best not to let the man believe that Ukitake suspected him just yet.]

Oh. That's... nothing.

[crowing]

Right, okay. ( sounds like something he doesn't wanna talk about. )

It sounds like you're new here? So, welcome to the City!

( pause. he makes a hand gesture, forgetting that he doesn't have video on. )

And, that thing in your hands is your thingy. It's like a phone and a computer. All at once.

[haring_to_go]

[ it's a wonderful thing that Liam wasn't paying that close attention to his device, busy scribbling things down on a piece of paper. ]

Do you always expect to be fooled?

[ what a curious man, but alas, Liam can't complain. he jumped to conclusions as well about this place. ]

[lifeandpride]

[By now he's got the hang of the video - mostly - and holds the device away from his face. He doesn't seem to be bothered too much with accuracy, however, still looking around at his surroundings.]

...In recent times, yes, when it comes to something like this.

[haring_to_go]

[ Liam doesn't mind. He's certainly done that once or twice himself. ]

Then I'm sorry to inform you that, while this may be a trick, it is one common to everyone here.

I'm afraid we've all been displaced from our homes.
