action / video / audio

[ action - for roommates (Soldier Blue and Judal) or anyone who wants to stop by unit 510 ]
[Bolin's sitting on the floor in the living area, with his back against the couch and Pabu curled up on his head. He's spent most of the past five days exploring his new home (and training, and hanging out with Korra and Asami as much as he can). But a guy's gotta give his muscles some time to rest and so he figures he might as well play around with the strange little gizmo they gave him. (Evidently he's supposed to be able to talk to people through it -- like a mini radio or something.)

He pokes hesitantly at the screen and gasps in surprise when it changes. It takes him a long time to find the tutorial, and even longer to make his way through it. Reading is hard enough for him even when he doesn't have to figure out what strange words like "video" mean.

In the end, it doesn't help him that much. All he really gets out of it is you can leave messages for everybody who has one of these weird devices to see, and these messages can either be in written words, recordings of your voice, or a kind of moving picture with sound. He decides to just poke around the device and see if he can figure out how to make a moving picture post for himself -- it sounds pretty cool.

Ten minutes later --]

[The feed flicks on and Bolin lights up.]

Hey! I think I finally figured it out! [He leans closer to the device, and Pabu jumps off his head indignantly to go doze on the couch.] Hello in there! Can anybody hear me?

[His thumb slips, accidentally switching it to audio.]

Wait, what did I just do?

Uh, yeah. I can definitely hear you. And I saw you for a moment there.

Looks like all you did was change some settings on your communication device. New, I take it?

No, nobody can hear you. You're on the wrong intranet.

Helllloooo! I think you're suppose to read the manual. Or... listen to the tutorial? Or something...

[ Lucy giggles a little - even though she knows she had as much trouble when she first got started. ]

I can hear you. It looks like you accidentally switched the setting from video to audio - try switching it back, if you like.

Everyone can see you, and hear you loud and crystal clear! [A quick laugh.] You must've pressed the audio function by accident. Try again~

You changed it from video to non-video voice-chatty.

Oh. [A pause.] ... Maybe you should read it again?

Well, well... it sounds to me like you need more practice with that device.

Yo! These things are pretty complicated compared to the tablets back home!

[He leans forward to poke at the screen]

What's that cute pet thing you've got??
thewalkingdad: (FUCK IT.)
