video/action ❆ day 105

[wolfofmidgard]

[It's taken Meja a few days to poke at the device on her wrist. She hasn't owned a piece of technology in... well, it's been a while. It's also been hard to concentrate, while becoming accustomed to separation from Yggdrasil. But at the moment, the device is her best bet for getting a question out among everyone in the Cape. So, she flicks a video feed on — once she figures out how to do that.

Meja's sitting in the park. Her closed white cloak covers her leather armor, but the silver and vaguely wolf-head-shaped epaulets on her shoulders are in full view. She runs her free hand through her short hair, anxiously, as she speaks, a gleaming silver armguard around her forearm.]

Hei hei, everyone. If I understand correctly, we all have these devices. I'd like to ask a question, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Has anyone seen an... unusually large raven about? Muttering to himself, maybe, or going after shiny objects? Perhaps reciting a morbid prophecy or two?

[...if he's stealing from these poor people, she's going to have a few bracing words for him.]

Any information would be useful. Thank you. Tusen takk.

A machine, actually. Sounds like they don't really know how it works, but it keeps plopping us down here. And maybe the scientists don't know what's going on, but they still don't see us as much more than test subjects or things they can use.

[ Dean is wearing a similar expression. He doesn't like being used for a nefarious higher purpose. ]

Oh. Terrific.

[Said dry as a bone. Bite her, technology. And entities who can think of others as playthings.]

So we're being held by idiotic technicians who don't know how to do their job. I suppose that's one step up from us being brought here by mistake.

Yeah, I thought an evil conspiracy was bad enough, but really it's just an evil pile of God knows what and no one knows what the hell's going on or what to do with any of it. Welcome to the Cape.

There's gotta be a way out of here though. They can't keep us here forever; they barely know how to tie their shoes, it sounds like.

[ He's being more critical than he ought to be, but he'd much rather believe the scientists are completely incapable -- or at least joke about it -- than think about how they might be finding a way to turn them all into some kind of army or weapon for whatever. ]

Well, being in a tense situation for the long haul isn't... an unusual situation for me, for the most part. [She smiles, shaking her head.] I'll help out as much as I can.
