VIDEO ♧ 001 ♧ there we were --- thick as thieves.

[forging]

[ Eames figures this is part of some grand scheme to get back at him. He's never been the kindest chap, so he has no doubts that he's ticked off someone somewhere. He's up against some fine dreamers, the attention of the place -- the authenticity and the details in the world building should make him feel intimidated, but Eames takes this is a gamble. All high stakes with a lot to lose. He doesn't believe the whole situation where they're in a world of Dreams, Death and Living - he figures it's part of the game to lull the mark into a false sense of security by showing him familiar elements.

So Eames will play along until he manages a better picture of what's been painted to him. When the feed turns itself on, Eames looks positively lost. You don't spend so much time pretending to be other people without learning a few tricks yourself, so the act is a solid one. His tone is hesitant. ]

Right. Well. So I guess, the nice - Kedan - wassit? Explained a couple of things with this -- [ he makes a gesture with his hands. ] place.

This is a bit much to take in. So I gotta ask - are they known for their honesty? They tellin' us the whole story with being between death and life and dreaming?

[ a beat. ]

Name's Freddy, by the way. Freddy Simmonds. I guess. I'm new.

[ Eames is gonna push this act as far as he can. ]

(( OOC | if there'd be any reason for your character to pick up on the fact that it's an act - go ahead! c: ))

[Clark has a way of doing that with the Inception cast, aparently.]

A 'touch' more glamorous indeed, but I didn't do it for that. I was a reporter, an investigative one specifically.

[forging]

[ gross sobbing. a weird plant is already a red flag for the inception cast. this is what happens when you play paranoid dream thieves. ]

Oh? Do we have something of that sort here? News or News archives?

[andaway]

[Clark shakes his head] Sadly we do not but I'm working on something similar. More a radio program than actual newpapers but it would at least be some way to get news in this place.

Why, would you be interested?

[forging]

If you'd want my dulcets over the air waves, I wouldn't say no. But I'd be interested in reading up the history of this place, generally.

[ he's trying to play up his curiosity rather than dodgy mcdodgy person. ]

[andaway]

That's actually going to be hard, as most record were destroyed before the foreigners began getting here. There's also the matter of language, in case you hadn't noticed.

[forging]

I take it there's no kedan language tapes?

[ yeah, the fact that there are no known records are all too convenient for eames' liking. ]

[andaway]

No, not really. Most Kedan will be helpful when it comes to reading things out loud so we can have a translation, and some people are trying hard to guess how the language works.

[forging]

I'd love to join in on classes, if you've got an opening.

[ yeah maybe he's taking too much interest so he tries to dial it back. ]

I mean, we're squatting on their lands already - forcin' them to speak English make us seem like proper gits, yeah?

[andaway]

[If Clark was right there in front of him he could be able to tell he was lying, heartbeat and all. But as it is he happily eats it up.]

So far we're simply taking notes and trying to figure things out, you're welcome to help out if you wish.
