[video] Bionn gach tosu lag

[Technology? LOL NOPE. Some friendly kedan at least helped her figure out how to turn the console on and off, but Aisling has never even sent a letter before, let alone used a device to talk to people far away. Still, at least she's managed to turn it on and broadcast. The view shows a window with trees outside, and one of Aisling's ears can be seen. Yeah, someone doesn't know where the actual camera lens is.]

Hello? They said that I may use this...c...con-sole to talk to many people, even if those people are far away. Does that mean that Brendan may hear this? Brendan? Are you there?

This is all very strange, isn't it? Hmm...I had never heard of a turtle of this size until now. Nor did I expect a dreaming world to look like this. But these are very nice trees, aren't they? Very old and wise. Still, I should not linger here very long. My own forest needs me. So, then! Does anyone know the way back to Ireland?

[Someone also doesn't quite understand the situation she's in.]

[Excuse him, he specializes in tiny children.

God that feels so weird to type.]

We're a long way from Ireland, I'm sorry to say.

[Say what you will about Batman: Douchebag, but he's got a soft spot for kids, okay. Even if all he has to judge her thus is her voice and the awkward angle of her ear.

She's not from a 'modern' or technological world, given her confusion with the consoles. He files the name 'Brendan' away for later investigation. A friend or sibling? Possibly. Her diction is... antiquated. Antiquated, Irish, speaking about the wisdom of trees-- that could mean any number of things. He'll need more information before making a solid conclusion, so. Bruce Wayne it is.

Sometimes, having a public identity is useful. This is one of those times. He doesn't intend to give anything away if pressed, though, thus the text.]

[OH MY DAGHDHA SOMETHING HAPPENED. Aisling squeaks and for awhile there's just silence while she pokes at the console to find out if it's alive. It doesn't react, so maybe this is just what the kedan were talking about--speaking to people far away. She's not very good at reading, though, so it takes her awhile to respond, after reading all the words out loud.]

A long way from Ireland, you said? I know that at least. But how can I return? I don't mind traveling.

No one's found a way yet, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You might have to be patient, though.

[A little sigh.] I can be patient. But I will not sit by and do nothing.

You seem very knowledgeable. Have you been here very long?

No longer than anyone else, why do you ask?

Edited 2012-08-05 15:38 (UTC)

Oh. It was just that you seem to know a lot.

Habit. I'm a university professor.

So... did your kedan not tell you we're stuck here, or were you just not listening?

[ ...someone's in a mood today. Dying will do that to you. ]

[A FACE APPEARED WHAT IS THIS SNAKE POO. Give her a second while she flails about, trying to deal with the fact that THIS FACE IS TALKING TO HER AND SHE CAN'T FIND THE BODY.]

What are you? A dullahan? Where is your body? [Pawing at the monitory JFDKALJFDKSL WHY CAN'T SHE TOUCH THE FACE. It's like a moving picture what the actual fuck.]

[ ...okay, now Rikki feels bad for getting snappy, because obviously this girl is not grasping a lot of things about the situation.

Sigh. ] No, I'm... I'm just a person. A human. I'm not actually there with you, I'm somewhere else. That's just a picture of me.

[She peeks up at the face, totally unaware that she should be looking at the camera.] A human...? But pictures can't move.

Iiiit's a special kind of picture. That's what these consoles do, they send your voice and image to another console... even if it's far away.

I guess you don't have a lot of technology where you come from?

I have seen a few pictures, and none of them moved... [Poke poke poke.] What is t...tech-no-logi?

Yeah, like I said. Special. It's called a video.

I guess that answers that question. It's... um... Actually, I'm not sure how to explain this. But it's stuff like this, or lights that don't need fire, or... I don't know, ways to move things around without horses? [ ...a part of her can sense Iron Man's horror over this explanation. SHE IS NOT SCIENCE GIRL, OKAY? ] But anyway, it's usually got a lot of metal and glass, and it runs on something called electricity...

Or I don't know, maybe these consoles actually run on magic. I didn't think to ask.

[the only reason he's gotten this on video is because one of the Kedan showed him, and... left it on on this manner. The console looks like a confusion of plates and lights to Frodo]

I haven't yet met a Brendan, I'm afraid. But it is very strange; this couldn't possibly be a creature, could it?

I haven't seen a way back yet.[granted he's only just arrived] Other than to swim, which I don't recommend. [he thinks a moment] Have you tried to see if there are any ships sailing?

[She's slightly used to faces popping up on this thing by now, but it's still a little startling. She circles around to look at the console from the sides to double check that there really isn't someone hiding in there.]

It's a turtle, I know it. It feels like a turtle.

A ship? I wouldn't need a ship. I could swim. It would be hard, but I could do it. I just do not know the way.

It looks land, no matter how I look at it. How can it feel like a turtle?

[Frodo looks aghast at the idea] Swim? And so far? [he actually has no idea how far off they are, only that..] There isn't any sign of land at all, you would drown!

[now he's worried she might actually give it a shot. And she doesn't look as big or strong as a Man or Elf]

It feels alive, doesn't it?

I haven't been a salmon in a long time, but I'm sure I could do it. Ireland cannot be that far.

I'm not certain.

[if he stands very still, closes his eyes, and concentrates very hard, he thinks he might feel a rumble, like breathing, but...it could also be all the activity around him. ]

A fish? You claim you can turn into a fish?

[Frodo isn't gaping but he does sound a little skeptical despite himself

Of course I can!

I don't suppose you could do it right now, could you?

[it's clear that he doesn't quite believe her but is amused she even chose to pick the salmon idea in the first place. Of all things to claim to turn into!]

Stupid. Why would I do it here and now, when there is no water nearby?
