1st Combo - [video]

[redcladidealist]

[The video comes on in a jolt of motion, which stills to a skewed image of pavement, buildings, and a soaking wet teenage boy clad in red and black lying on the ground. He winces as though he'd just hit the ground. Hard.]

Oww...

[Pushing himself up off the ground, he rubs his head.]

Is everyone all...

[Wait. Something's wrong. He looks around the plaza with clearly growing alarm, but still not at the SFC.]

Guys? Where is everyone?

[And where in the world is he?!]


[OOC: I'm up for action or network replies. Either works for me!]

[Uh oh, Ahiru had just had a similar problem and this person was new from the looks of it. At least he didn't have the issue she had then, though...]

Uhhh, h-hi? Your thing turned on.

[Lloyd's had a chance to talk to a few people now, so hearing the starfish talk at him isn't quite as alarming this time. Weird, and he's still wary of the thing, but he's got this.

Sort of.

Sorry, Ahiru, you are getting video, but it's mostly dark with a few cracks of light coming through to show that the SFC is covered in what's very likely a towel.]

Huh? What thing?

[Video]

[whatthequack]

[Or...had it turned on? She could still hear him though. Huh.]

That...starfish-looking one that you can talk to people with.

[It has a name, she's pretty sure. Can't remember it, but it has one.]

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

That- Oh!

[Hang on, let him unwrap this thing a bit. Still treating it like it could potentially come to life, but at least now the view screen isn't covered. He blinks down at the image of Ahiru.]

...you know, now that I think about it, that's kind of cool.

[She looks at her communicator thoughtfully.]

Huh. Yeah, I guess it is...

UM! They can turn on pretty easy, so you should probably be careful with it.

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

[He smiles and offers Ahiru a thumbs-up.]

Thanks for the warning.

[Not that he understands yet just why it might be a bad thing if the communicator accidentally turned on. He'll learn, though, no doubt about it.]

Hey, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Lloyd!

[Video]

[whatthequack]

You're welcome!

It's nice to meet you, Lloyd. My name's Ahiru!

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Ahiru. Got it! It's nice to meet you, too!

So, how long have you been here?

[She sounded like she didn't really know what the starfish thing was either. Maybe she's from another world like he is.]

[Video]

[whatthequack]

A couple weeks. It's kinda weird, but I heard you get used to it sooner or later!

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

I don't plan on sticking around long enough to get that used to it, but it looks like a really cool place! I kind of wish I could visit it whenever I want.

[Video]

[whatthequack]

A-Actually nobody knows how to leave when they want to yet. But the people here know that and they're really nice and let us stay places and stuff!

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

No one knows how to leave?

[He thinks about that for a moment, then lifts a finger and smiles confidently.]

You mean no one knows how to leave yet. We just need to keep looking and never give up.

So, if someone needed a place to stay, they just knock on a door and ask?

[Not quite sure how this works.]
