1st Chassé | Action for the Bailey in Seelie Court/Video for Both Courts
[When the video turns on, it's actually a small stream of what appears to be someone spinning the locket over and over in the palm of their hand. There's a small laugh that follows, along with a tone of disbelief.]
Not quite what I meant when I said I wanted a new cell phone.
[Give it a moment before the video rights itself to reveal a blonde boy wearing a hat and stretched out on a bench in the Bailey of Caer Glaem. He appears to just be regarding the locket thoughtfully before he continues.]
Okay! So…hi. [Yes, thank you Ryan.] I'm Ryan, and I'm gonna be honest here I'm still not sure I'm not just dreaming all of this. I've been told I have a pretty vivid imagination. [There's a lopsided grin that follows.]
I guess I'm just sort of curious. Is anybody happier to be here than wherever they came from? [He's also got the map the fairies gave him clutched in his hand and he sort of just waves it in the video feed.] …also anybody know how to read a map? ["Besides everyone but me?" It's a sheepish request and he doesn't particularly like asking, but why learn how to read a map when you come from a place where you have chauffeurs, a GPS, or a twin sister who drives a narcissism mobile? He'd always assumed he'd learn how to read maps during the summer before he went to college and that's still a few months off.] I want to check out the rest of these places but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks a lot.

Oh. From what I heard the Station's the place with all of the technology. TVs, internet, that sort of stuff. It's really common where I'm from so it's pretty weird not to have it easily accessible. I want to see if I can power on my phone or send emails to people. See what I can bring back to the castle, too.
[Action]
[He'd be anything but averse to seeing if he can poke around the horses, if nothing else.
Moving to the Station, he gives an... acknowledging tilt of his head]
All the technology... [A repetition for its own sake - and much of what came after he doesn't recognize. What sort of technology; whose technology?] What're e-mails?
[Can they travel across dimensions?]
[Action]
[It will never cease to surprise him that people don't understand technology, but the look on his face isn't annoyed or disgusted. He's quizzical, if anything.] E-mails are like…you know how you can write letters to people? E-mails just travel a lot faster through the internet. Kind of like text messages? [Sound familiar? No?] They can travel all over the world so I'm kind of hoping maybe it'll extend to other worlds, too.
