001: video

[The video switches on easily to show Isa looking at the screen, more or less expressionless.]

Nice kidnappers we've got here. They provide weapons, lodgings, and computers so we can communicate. Probably would've been nicer if they'd asked before the whole kidnapping thing, though.

[A slight smile appears on his face, then disappears almost as quickly.]

I've got a question. Do these things save conversations? It seems like that could be useful. You know, so we could all relive the complete lack of an explanation we got when we arrived.

Anyway. Looks like this is gonna be quite an adventure.

I'm Isa.

Yeah, we should. Someone's gotta keep an eye on you.

Sounds like a plan. Do they really pay enough attention to us to care about that kind of stuff?

Naaaah, but they've got all the keys. Hey, I should show you some of the music cards they've got here! They're pretty cool.

Music cards? [He shoots Lea a somewhat confused look.] What's that?

[His hands dive into his pockets to search. A few minutes and a handful of lint, a couple cool rocks and a hard candy later, he gives up.]

Aw man, I guess I left it in my room.

...They're these little card things! Almost like playing cards or something. I don't know exactly how it works, but if you plug them into the right machine you can use it to play music.

[About what Isa would expect to see in his pockets. Those rocks are kind of cool, though.]

This place really is a lot more technologically advanced than home, isn't it? Not just the time travel stuff, but even little things like that.
