tushanshu | 1st Match ♈ [Video]

[Toro is a bit haggard from waking up from what he last remembered and finding himself in the grand hall of some other world—really, other dimensions? And here he had thought he’d never see one for himself—but not knowing how he had gotten there. The kedan had explained some to him, but they couldn’t tell him what had happened to Pappy. He sits in the chair in front of the console and works on figuring out how the computer works because it’s not like the ones he knows. Everything is just—too different. But if he’s here, maybe someone else he knows is, too. He's lucky he figured out how to work the radio-computer-camera-thing. Even if it took an hour...or two.]

Guess now I can check “traveling to another dimension” off my list of things to do before I retire. [Have a guy who looks like he’s barely into adulthood—just don’t judge the book by its cover. He runs his hand through his hair, his laugh is a bit awkward, tired.] “Get stuck on another world” wasn’t on there, but you learn to deal with the curveballs.

Torch, if you’re here, too, give me a yell, okay? [He really wants to make sure he’s okay. He doesn’t know what happened to him after they were both sprayed with that chemical. There was a fog, like he was seeing everything in a haze and couldn’t do anything about it. Torch—he doesn’t know what they did to him.]

To everyone else…Name’s Toro—not that probably means much to anybody here if we are all from a bunch of different worlds—and it’s a…really something to be here. I didn’t even know they could get computers this small and still make ‘em do anything worthwhile. Keep expecting to find a room that’s got the real one hidden somewhere and this one is just for show.

[Bucky watches through what happens here, too. 'Torch' and 'Toro' aren't exactly familiar names, but. 'Punched Hitler'?]

If you need help with the consoles, I can try to catch you up? Came here kinda clueless about 'em, too, so it might be easier to help you get the hang of 'em?

[Oh, hey at least the guy is being nice and offering some help.]

The kedan told me a little about them, but really I just wanted to know how you got the stations on it. What's the point of having something like this if you can't even hear the radio?

Mostly, the kedan ain't got no radio. Though one of the people brought here, Clark Kent, is workin' on setting up one. For news. He put up a message recently asking if anybody's willing and able to help.

Apparently, most people here come from times when this, [he gestures at the console in front him] is old tech. Radio, even more so, it's just complicated here. Not that much metal left to work with.

What? How could they just throw out the radio like a baby with the dishwater? Just because it's not as fancy doesn't mean it doesn't have a use. That's crazy.

Do they at least have telephones?

Sorry, no. These things are as close as it gets - all the 'suites' have them, as well as some of the 'cafes' - there you can identify yourself or send a message out or reply anonymously.

Like I said, people are workin' on the radio thing. The kedan probably didn't know it was an option or something.

Wild. [He's a bit gobsmacked by all of this.] So what are we supposed to do around here? The kedan basically dumped me in a tree house and said get a job.
