VIDEO(s) | 1-3 September + the rest of September | OPEN | +assorted pm's to a hella lot of people
Morning, Sept 1
[ The first video, on September 1st, is an empty room in the healing ward, locket angled awkwardly as though it were left on a dresser or table surface, but not by the user. The voice is raspy and disused, and the picture is off-center, focused on an individual whose body is seemingly entirely submerged in a bathtub full of iced water, bright pink and yellow discolorations interrupting the natural color of the skin. ]
Πού είμαι εγώ? Ανεξ Οριν? Πού είμαι εγώ?
[ He is only awake for a few minutes, entirely disoriented and squinting in the direction of the device he seems to have remembered to activate. He falls back asleep again, and slips beneath the water. ]
Dawn, Sept 2
[ He is awake again, this time more alert, hand moving as though it would reach towards the device before falling entirely still with pain, limbs assuming a decorticate pose. Still he tries to speak again, voice still quiet and raspy. The off-centered image of the locket seems to pick up a very strong fanning of his neck, seemingly expanding and contracting in quick intervals, but it is hard to tell what is causing that effect since the image seems almost blurred. ]
Where is...? Nightwing? Black Canary...?
[ He seems to stay conscious for longer, but his questions end quickly and he looks about in confusion at the room before sinking into unconsciousness again. ]
Mid-day, Sept 2
[ Awake and much more conscious, shifting slightly in the tub, though clearly in some severe form of discomfort. The voice is calmer, though he still seems slightly confused. ]
There was a dragon–
[ He doesn't say more, simply tries to peer about his environment, trying to look for clues. Once someone else enters the room, the feed shuts off. ]
Morning, Sept 3
[ Moderately upright, Alert, and the locket is now centered properly on Kaldur's face, though little can be seen below his chin. Given the more focused view, this seems deliberate. ]
I would know that status of Redgate, as well as all those of my acquaintance who are traveling abroad and receive this message. Thank you.
[ He still looks a little peaky, but much more aware of himself and his surroundings. ]

/totally on top of it
[ Kaldur's aware of it, too, and his lip would be twitching up in amusement if Waver could see it. ]
I find myself facing some of the strange frustrations. I dislike operating blind.
yay for retroactively applying things!
[The fact that the Lancelots aren't is the funniest part.]
Steep learning curves are rarely anyone's friend. Circumstances here just make messing up that much worse.
hahahah
Chivalrous behavior tends to do that for many in the Seelie camp, I've seen.
[ Kaldur is more open to taking what advantage he can get, really. And minimize property damage. ]
It has been harder to acquire the network I am used to, and the lack of technology supported in the Drabwurld presents its own sets of solutions and problems. And, as you said, there is little-to-no margin for mistakes.

I worry it may end up doing more harm than good in the long run.
Mm, I understand you entirely on the technology front. While the communication field is similar to what's back home, everything else is a struggle. It'd be lovely if there was a "Drabworld Politics 101" book or lecture series about.

A point I am not inclined to argue. [ Yeah he kinda agrees ] If you do manage to find such a copy, please forward it to me at your earliest convenience. I would similarly appreciate it.
I will look myself.

Also, it was the 90s, and camera phones weren't a thing. Sadly.]
Or one that's easily changed by suggesting that they should be more cautious about it.
Hell, I'd say I'd write it if I had access to resources that would allow me to do so. But I think we both know why that's impossible at this point.
Do let me know if you find anything. There must be at least some history books outside of the court libraries that address this matter.
