3rd Keystroke (video and action for apt 1008)

[acts_of_claudia]

[The video flickers for a moment before turning on. Claudia grins lopsidedly at the camera, waggling her fingers]

Sup, bitches?

[With a laugh she spins in the chair, kicking her feet up on the desk she's sitting behind. If anyone looks closely enough they might spot another tablet behind her... in pieces... what? She was bored and wanted to know how it worked.]

Okay. So I get the whole "transported to another world" thing - been there, done that, don't really want the t-shirt - but, seriously, could they have picked a lamer place? What? Couldn't the world have ended and left, like, Cabo or something? This rain is really cramping my style. Aaaaand no internet. No TV. Not even radio? Booooring. This place is like a total yawn-fest. What you guys need is someone to rig up something to liven up the joint.

[Her smile widens as her mind already starts to turn, thinking on what she could do to fix the place up. Of course that smile is short lived as a door slams and someone who shall remain Artie calls her name in his "Claudia did something wrong" tone (patent pending). Guess who found out she stole his tablet because she dismantled her own. Whoops? She cringes before shooting the feed a quick grin]

Uh. Gotta go. Uhh [She flashes the Vulcan Live Long and Prosper sign] May the force be with you.

((OOC: Action to the apartment otherwise replies will come after she's been sufficiently scolded by Artimus Maximus))

[Cheerily:]

Good timing. I've got something in the pipes. Wanna help out?

[video]

[acts_of_claudia]

Color me intrigued. That depends on what you're plotting. [She grins]

[video]

[legal_eagle]

Radio. Not really up to TV technologically or financially. Maybe later.

[Video] (OOC: Need to watch where I'm typing)

[followupquestion]

[Have a faceless woman wearing a nice hat]

Pretty sure mixing your science fiction references is a serious party foul. That said, did any of the worlds you visited happen to have a Superman?

[Video] (OOC: aww that's okay! /hugs)

[acts_of_claudia]

[Well that's not creepy as all hell. She raises an eyebrow]

Consider me yellow carded. [She shrugs] None of the worlds I've been to since I've been here have, as far as I know. Back home, though, there are stories about the guy... don't know how true they are, though.

[... yeah she's just going to be cautious and NOT mention that they're comic books and movies about a fictional character.]

[Video] (OOC: Thanks ^_^;)

[followupquestion]

[Makes for a heck of a conversation starter though]

I'll let you off with a warning this time. [That's interesting. The comic book angle probably wouldn't bother her too much. She's run into similar things in her travels.] Interesting. Just trying to figure out if we've been to any of the same places. Turns out a lot of worlds either have one, or tell stories about him.

[The philosophical why of that is a matter best left to people who care, aka people not her]

[lar]

If you survive your not!parent, I have a proposition for you.

[acts_of_claudia]

[She shudders]

Oh don't call him that that's just too creepy for words.

[Shaking off that bit of ZOMGNO she smirks]

A proposition, hmm? That sounds possibly devious. What is said proposition?

video;

[lar]

You know that only makes it the more tempting to call him that right?

But anyway, I'm throwing a party, and I need someone with a knack for the technological. Lights and music and whatever fancy stuff parties have.

[ Fun fact: Ella has been to enough parties she can count them with one hand. ]

[commentboxtroll]

Try wandering around the wastelands. You'll come back with a new appreciation for having a dull as dirt city at all.

[ Not that it makes it less crappy, just less killer mutanty. ]

video

[acts_of_claudia]

Ugh no thank you. I lived in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota back home so I'm used to dull as dirt cities. However that doesn't mean I have to be content with the distinct lack of entertainment here.

[alittlesweptup]

Oh come on, you can't mix and match like that! [Charlie leans in toward the camera, mouth thin. It's clear the only reason that he's using video is because his hands are otherwise occupied: he's pulling sports tape off his fingers and knuckles.] There's people here who might get the wrong idea if you go throwing the two about willy nilly like that.

Anyway, there's a movie theatre but we've been half assing it for a while now though.

[acts_of_claudia]

[She laughs. Trololololol]

Oh I'm sure there are. I've met a couple of 'em already, actually.

[She lifts her eyebrows, looking at him]

Yeah? And who's we?

ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ;

[reversemole]

Got a little too carried away with the gadget, did you?

( because good god, weren't those tablets state-sponsored? )

Video

[acts_of_claudia]

[She snorts]

Carried away? No way. That wasn't carried away. I was just trying to see if there was a way I could boost the signal on these buggers, maybe integrate some of my own tech to it.

action;

[interspace]

You know... You could have said something. I've got plenty of music ALFRED could have uploaded for you.

[ That would be Misha showing up behind Claudia and hovering enough to look like she's leaning over a partition to grin down at her facetwin. She's still a bit irked and weirded out by the allergic reaction thing, but who has superpowers and is not interested in talking about all that? THIS GIRL. ]

[acts_of_claudia]

[Why hallo there, roomie! She looks up with a smirk]

Oh I've got plenty of tunes on Janis [She gestures in the general direction of her laptop] but a girl cannot live on MP3s alone. [She laughs]

[stillbetter]

What a relief it is to see someone concerned about the real issue.

[acts_of_claudia]

[eyeroll]

What a relief it is to see that someone knows the proper use of sarcasm. It's so refreshing.

video;

[collectedloot]

It would've been nice to at least have some music we could all listen to.

But I guess there aren't many stations out there still left standing.

video;

[acts_of_claudia]

I've got tunes on the gear I brought with me so that's not a huge issue. Hopefully we can figure out a way to share with the rest of the class, though.

video;

[worldswillburn]

What, the bombs and epidemic weren't enough for you?

video;

[acts_of_claudia]

So sue me for wanting something more entertaining than explosions.

[curatesecrets]

[just stands in the doorway SCOWLING and points at the mess on the table]

Is that mine?

[acts_of_claudia]

What, no hello? Some people knock first.

[She smiles sheepishly knowing she's pretty much poking the bear making jokes right now]

And, uh, no. That's mine. [She waves the tablet in her hand] This is yours.
