1st Combo - [video]

[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!]

But you look like a starfish. Are trolls starfish cousins?

[He's encountered monsters like that before, ones that look a lot like others but are still different. Professor Raine always made him take notes. Ugh, homework.

Speaking of... He darts a nervous glance over his shoulder as though half expecting his teacher to show up. No sign of her, though, which is a relief - he does not want to take notes on this guy - as well as worrying. Where is she?]

...what do you mean, "communicating device"? You mean that you can speak?

... Are you not fuckin' familiar with a ounce a fuckin' technology, or is it so far beyond your simple minded grasp that no matter the amount a familiarity, it'd STILL be fuckin' leagues beyond you?

God, it's like a minicomputer that's hooked up to a fuckin' network! AND NO, trolls are NOT related to starfish, holy fuck. Do you see this picture? With me in it, see me, yeah I'm the grey handsome guy with the marwelous zigzag horns an the stylish purple streak! See? I'm not a goddamn starfish or any a its possible ewolutionary familial bullshit!

[Okay, you know what? Lloyd may not be the best student in class, and maybe he doesn't know as much about more advanced technology, but that doesn't mean he likes being insulted about it. His cheeks flush a bit and he scowls at the troll- starfish- whatever Eridan is.]

Hey, I've seen technology before! I just don't use it that much! Technology's Desian stuff, or stuff in Tethe'alla, or things you read about in books. And I've never seen a computer that looked like starfish before, no matter what kind of net it's in!

So this isn't you? You're not really here?

[He's had a little experience with holographs and video before. A little. Nothing exactly like this.]
