[DAY 236] [Video|Action|Open]
[The voice cuts on to someone whose voice is fading in and out in volume, as if they are moving the microphone closer and further from them. The girl hasn’t seen something this advanced before, but it doesn’t take much to realize that it is transmitting her to somewhere.]

Oh how interesting. Is this like one of those radios I’ve heard speak of? I had never imagined they were this…small. Certainly something capable of wave communication would need to be much bigger to catch the right waves? How do you fit all of the wires into such a small package?

And what does “video” mean? [Obviously she is looking at the side of the communicator only to flick the button. Suddenly the screen is full of golden brown eyes and pale blonde hair. She pulls it back a bit more.] I’m not quite sure how I came to be here, but this place is full of curious things. It’s nothing like any prison I have heard of. Your country must be very wealthy to afford it. How does the shield around the prison stay intact? I haven’t seen a Mage since I woke—

--Oh, I’m sorry, that’s very rude of me! Good morning, my name is Toul. I hope I’m not bothering anyone, but I do have some questions that it would be very helpful to me if I could have them answered. Has anyone seen a pale girl with brown hair and eyes and a dark tattoo over her left eye?

[Toul has been wandering for hours, trying to figure out whether or not this is a truly creative dream, an illusion, or if she is truly stuck in a prison. It's nothing like one she's ever heard of herself. She manages to come by the clothings shops in Sector 4 and is searching for things close to what she's used to. The jumpsuit just isn't comfortable. Too restrictive. It would be easy enough to run into her as she walks and expect that she'll definitely greet and introduce herself to anyone she sees.]

	Its a transceiver, rather than wires, that allows it to broadcast. And I see you've found the video. Ianto Jones, nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

[The explanation doesn't really help her feel less confused, but she's grateful for someone answering her questions. She still hasn't realized that the video is even on since she does not know what it is. As shown by the fact she moves the screen and instead brings it closer to her mouth, like speaking into the microphone.]

Transceivers must be very advanced them to help make machines so small. Is the video the small red dot on the lens? What does it do?

	The red dot means its recording, yes. Can you see my face? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She moves the communicator back a bit since she had not been holding it properly in the first place. Lifting the screen up, her face broke into an excited smile.] Well look at that! I can see you! At least, I think it's you, since you are the one I'm speaking to at the moment. Why, I've never seen anything like this. It's like moving pictures from a camera. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ianto smile back helpfully. This is the sort of thing he's been doing for some time now, even before arriving in this place.] Yes, that's me. You've more or less got the hang of it now. I imagine it must seem very strange if its not the sort of thing you've seen before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? That is much simpler than I would have expected of high technology like this. [She's going to look the communicator over again, very impressed.] I wonder if I could take it back with me when I return home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt it, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to ask. Where is home for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video bendthekey 2013-09-16 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm from Gaia and I'm very sure there are engineers from every land that would be interested in how masterfully machines are utilized here. [She is not the strongest when it comes to machinery herself, but she learns to use what she's given well enough.] Does your home have things like this, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sorry, I've never heard of it. But then again, a lot of people are from different worlds here. And yes, we have technology similar to this. Not quite as much as they seem to have here with the way they can bring people to this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video bendthekey 2013-09-18 10:48 am UTC (link)
	Oh that's all right. How could you have heard of it, if you aren't from there, after all? [Which brings her to her next question.] What is your world like? If you don't mind me inquiring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video readystopwatch 2013-09-18 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	Its not as interesting as some. [With all the aliens he sees on a regular basis he tends to think of home as fairly boring.] Aside from the technology a lot of it is like this place, at least with the style of the stores and facilities. What about yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video bendthekey 2013-09-22 11:35 am UTC (link)
	Mine? I've only been outside of Tusseri once or twice that I can recall, but I've never seen most of the technology here. The buildings are so...tall! There aren't any marketplaces that I've seen either. How do you buy all of your wares and food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video readystopwatch 2013-09-23 12:36 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose it might take some getting used to here, then. There are shops located throughout the dome where you can buy clothes and food or anything else you might need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh that is good! I will have to look for them after I've found myself somewhere to settle in. Do they accept marks here or--[she pats down the jumpsuit she is wearing.]--well. I don't seem to have my money pouch on me anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't worry, it's all free of charge. One of the few benefits of being in this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Video bendthekey 2013-10-03 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	Really? But...why? [The idea of not paying for things is odd! Despite the fact she's never really had much of her own money to spend, she kept up Galin's expenses and made sure things were handled in that regard, so she knows the value of a mark.] Do they truly provide everything? What work do they ask of us in return? (Reply to this) (Parent)
