_{[At first all the screen shows is darkness until something sparks and pops somewhere presumably off-screen. For a split second, Kimblee actually looks surprised, but not for the reasons those who know him would think.]}

...Well, that was rude. I was starting to enjoy that film.

<sub>[There's some fumbling before he enables the backlight to the SFC and shines it around the living room, and the television. Whatever happened to it when the power went out, it sure doesn't look like it's going to work when it comes back on.

Especially since it seems to be... smoking?]</sub>

Oh dear... That's not good now, is it? No, of course not. <sub>[He's mostly just talking to himself at the moment.

And then he starts tapping the SFC]</sub>

Mustang, two things;

One, I believe we'll need a new television.
Two, I don't suppose we have any kerosene lanterns or some candles hidden somewhere in the house?

Right. Apologies, it slipped my mind. _{[Not really.]}

To everyone else in the city, is this one of those infamous curses I've heard about, or just a power shortage? I'm leaning towards the latter but one can't be too sure with how this world works.



Anyway. Roy, as I was saying, I think we'll need a new television.

[Hayner was trapped in the elevator between bubble and Island. Thankfully it came with a view of the sea you traveled through, but he still probably won't be helping himself to small spaces any time soon. Another thing to add to the list of what Vatheon made him wary of. He was sitting down in a corner kind of drumming against his lap. A towel was laid across his shoulders.]

I now know how it feels like to be a sardine. Maaaaaan does this blow. [He turned the SFC so it'll show the fish instead.] Was on my way to the Island for an evening swim when it hit. Some luck, huh?

It could be worse!

Yeeeah. I guess I could be stuck in a normal elevator in complete darkness instead. [Doesn't sound all that enthusiastic.]

[fulmination]

Or the brakes could fail and the cables could snap.

_{[He pauses to let it sink in, and then--]}

I'm just kidding.

[topsseifer]

[asdjlkdajlskdj

Yes. Give the kid nightmares.]

I think I would be more concerned about the air running out first. [Huff as he totally is trying not to look at the fish. Maaaan all of that water. What was really keeping it out?]

_{[It's a safe bet that his Favorite Jailor back home has been having nightmares about him for years. It was pretty fun to mess with his head sometimes.]}

I'm sure you'll be fine.

[topsseifer]

Only because you aren't the one trapped in an elevator. [Sorry, he gets a touch bitchy at times.]

You should scope out the rest of your electronics to make sure that was the only casualty.

[fulmination]

Perhaps not, but I know the feeling.

As for the electronics, I'm afraid I'm still figuring out how things work. In the words of someone I spoke to, I come from a 'culture so backwards that they don't even have computers.'
