[ He turns VIDEO on and... oh... that is like a tiny mirror. Okay. There's some breathing and the feed catches the ceiling. ]

[ What does this button do? ]

[ TEXT. It turns into the magical paper the young Dave used. ]

[ OKAY. What if he toggled between -- oh that works. He's going to toggle between the two options really fast now. ]

[ click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click ]

[ WOW THAT'S REALLY GREAT. ]

...Hello?

[kingdomsgambit]

[ WHOA WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT. ]

[ IT JUST POPPED UP WITH NO WARNING. ]

[ he didn't fall off his bed or anything what made you think that ]

[ what black magic is this ]

[ the magic mirror -- or the "Pee Dee Ey" -- suddenly wants to converse with him ]

[ He tries to respond to it in voice, but nothing happens. ]

[ Perhaps he is also supposed to use the text? ]

yes, hello, spirit within.
i am not feeling this color. excuse me.
hello.
Hello.

[fracturedsoul]

You know, you are incredibly lucky I don't feel like fucking with you, because you make it way too easy.
Let me guess. You come from some backwater time period where even this sort of technology is on par with flying cars and jetpacks.
Never seen a computer before at all?

[knightime]

i think i just got whiplash
please tell me you know how to use it now
im not about to invest in learning the art of derpanese keysmashing their pda
seriously
i have learned enough different languages no one else seems to understand for one lifetime
much less a thousand

[kingdomsgambit]

I apologize, Dave.
I know how to use it now. Mr Strider was very helpful.

Different languages that no one else seems to understand?
You mean like magic or Elvish?
I'm pretty sure elves aren't a real thing.

[knightime]

[smupette]

Whoa. Chill out.

text.

[kingdomsgambit]

Beg pardon.
I'm not familiar with the slang.
Is this the same as the "cool" slang?

audio. ends own life for slowness.

[smupette]

[screw this orange text.]

Not familiar with slang? In that case. Whoa, stop pressing buttons like that- sir.

[doesthewindything]

... uh, are you okay?

[kingdomsgambit]

I'm fine.
I am merely unfamiliar with this technology.

[straightupzorra]

Let me guess, there's no technology like this where you're from.

Video

[kingdomsgambit]

Not at all.
It's wonderful.

Re: Video

[straightupzorra]

And you even managed to change the color, spell all your words correctly, and use proper punctuation. I'm impressed, kid. Do you do any other tricks?

[theillbeatknight]

Alright, Peixes. I see you have been told by Dirk how to use this device. I showed you where to purchase it in case you need to contact me without prolonged delay. As swiftly as it seems to carry forth the messages sent out from in your hands, I recommend you learn to make it speak so that I will receive messages quickly.

[kingdomsgambit]

David, here, I am making it speak! But I cannot turn off the magic mirror.

voice/text

[theillbeatknight]

That's fine to start with, although there should be a thing that says, uh

[switching to text... give him a minute]

[pencilpremonition]

Hey, John, why don't I teach you how to use that?

[video]

[kingdomsgambit]

Thank you for the offer, Becca, but Dirk has taught me how. It baffles me how everybody knows how to make this device function.

[video]

[pencilpremonition]

Most of us are from worlds where stuff like this is pretty common. I bet if you dumped us all off in your world, we'd be pretty lost, too.

[fabricates]

[Oh, that was John's face. She hasn't seen the John from her school since she woke up.]

Oh my god, what are you doing????????
Did you suddenly forget how to type, Eg8ert?

[kingdomsgambit]

It's Peixes, not Eg8ert.
I apologize. I'm not familiar with this technology.

[fabricates]

You're kidding me, right? That's a troll's last name, not yours.
You're John, right? How can you not 8e familiar with it? You've 8een using it your whole life. ::::/

[mutesician]

I don't think you use it that way.

[Louis acts as if he didn't have trouble figuring it out too. But hey, he can capitalize now! Hooray!]

[Text]

[kingdomsgambit]

I know how to use it now, thank you!
