[a hand is moved away from the lens of the camera and the image is filled with light! and it's got a good angle of the underside of a very large chest. the woman holding the device points down at it, looking away at what can assumed to be someone else.]

So you just...talk to this thing, is that it? [...] Oh what's that? Angle it a bit-- ah yes, right then.

[it's angled at a better position so the viewer can now see her face, and it's obvious she has no idea what she's doing but she sure as hell is trying. there's the sound of someone talking over the traffic, and the strange woman lets out a melodic, chiding laugh.]

Thanks dearie, that'll be all. And I really do mean it this time. Honestly, off with you!

[she waves the person off screen away and there's another laugh as she shakes her head, looking at the camera in a veiled unsure manner, though there's still a rather cocksure air about her.]

For a second there I thought that little display had been blasted me back to the Fade. But folks here are far to clothed to be any demons I know of.

I arrived a few hours ago, but I won't say the culture shock is completely gone. In fact, it's still there, but I've been enough places to learn to get over it quickly no matter how bizarre this new land is. And I know not to question my means of travel, though I will say I prefer going at it by ship as opposed to...whatever that was.

Honestly though, heroes? I become bosom buddies with the Champion and suddenly people start thinking her good nature had rubbed off on me or something. It hasn't. Not much, anyway.

I've been told I'm not alone in this. So hello? [a light tap at the camera] Anyone in there?

Comments

[comesback]

[The Fade, huh. That mention catches his interest -- he's fairly certain he'd heard Zevran mention it at some point or another, and the woman on the camera certainly is appealing.]

Not in it, really, but hello there, beautiful.

[backstabbing]

Well hello.

[her eyebrows raise slightly and her lips draw into a coquettish little smirk.]

Not in you say?

[comesback]

No, it just sends out the signal, sort of. It's a bit complicated, but I never went into all that sort of technological thing.

[backstabbing]

Entirely too complicated. I would much prefer talking to a handsome thing like you face to face.

Unless, you really are that small. But who am I to judge? After all, size honestly doesn't matter. And a small thing like you could prove to be...

[there's a considering hum, and her lips curl upwards.]

Interesting.

[comesback]

I can be just as interesting full-sized, I promise.

[And cue that smile.]

Can I have a name, beautiful?

voice;

[gevurah]

[ She's mildly amused by all this. ]

Hello back.

video forever because how does technology work

[backstabbing]

Ah yes, a disembodied voice. How lovely.

[SHE DOESN'T LOOK PUT OFF THOUGH because that is a lady's voice awww yeah.]

And I suppose you're not in this strange box either, pet? And do in fact have a body?

I would certainly hope so.

SWITCHES TO VIDEO...

[gevurah]

[ OKAY, she doesn't want to confuse her too much, so she switches the cam feed on so Isabela can get a look at her #ffffff face. ]

A whole body. [ Waves a hand. ] It's called a communicator.

AWWW YISS

[backstabbing]

Oh. Now isn't that a new little trick.

[THE WONDERS OF TECHNOLOGY. her face lights up a little. both at the change from audio to video.

and at the person in the video.

a redhead with not a freckle in sight: Aveline you are not.]

And not a bad one either from what I can see. [which is just a face Isabela stop it. she draws her attention away as though to skim over the communicator now that she knows what it's called.] Is it now? What a keen little thing.

[gevurah]

Incredibly useful for when you want to speak to someone who may be across the city -- or country.

voice;

[futureleader]

No one's home!

[backstabbing]

Shame you didn't get to me first.

You would have almost had me there.

permavoice;

[futureleader]

Damn.

It was worth a shot.

[backstabbing]

[a smirk]

I'll give you a five out of ten for effort, sweetheart. And that's being generous.

[futureleader]

No kidding, I'd give myself a zero out of ten for effort.

voice;

[answerthequestion]

[Wow, what a babe. Renee just has to reply, even if it's late. 8|]

Plenty of people around here, seems like some of them have been helpful too.

[Not surprised to see Kate already responded.]

Hopefully they've explained everything that's different to you.

video forebah

[backstabbing]

[she is a hottie with a body that's fer sure.]

I'm not used to how accommodating some of the people here are, but I guess I am a woman without a reputation here.

They tried, but I'm afraid it'll take me awhile to fully understand. For now, I'll just go with the flow. [she offers the disembodied voice a coy look.] Unless you have anything else you wish to add, sweetheart?

voice foreNOW

[answerthequestion]

What was your reputation like back home that people would be less than accommodating?

[More curious than suspicious at this point.]

And if you have any more questions, I'm more than happy to answer.

ohoho

[backstabbing]

Well...pirate. I think that about sums it up.

Though if you ask the Guard-Captain back home she'd have a few other choice words.

[a considering pause. well, a faux considering pause. she's inquisitive, but likes to figure things out on her own.

so she'll just simply flirt.]

Your name. Might as well start a collection of people to know in this City.

dehehe

[answerthequestion]

A pirate, huh?

[There's amusement and disbelief in her voice, she's guessing Isabela means she dressed up like one as her costume or had it as her theme. LITTLE DOES SHE KNOWS.]

And the name's Renee. Nice to meet you, Isabela.

(video.)

[ioudas]

Well, if you ever need help with the culture shock, I'll be happy to help. I was in the same - am i nthe same - situation.

(video.)

[backstabbing]

Birds of a feather flock together so they say.

[a considering look at the feed]

And I may take you up on that.

(video.)

[ioudas]

[oh ho ho she gets a coy smile back.]

I'm sure that it can be amended to say something about pleasurable company.

(video.)

[backstabbing]

I'm willing to make any amends for the sake of pleasure.

(video.)

[ioudas]

Do you have any plans that have amending for the sake of drinks?
