Video + Action

[This might be the only time anyone will see Pidge looking so happy. And feeling the tiniest bit social. The latter of which is really only obvious because she actually made a post to the network in order to share some of her more interesting findings with the rest of the Fleet. There are practically stars in her eyes.

This may never happen again.

Pidge is basically giggling as she positions her comm somewhere it can get a good view of her and her pile of seeming-junk, then immediately hurries back over to join her pile. From here, it's very easy to see the little green mouse droid rolling around, attempting to nudge the junk into neater piles, and what looks like a floating green caterpillar with glowing cheeks coming over to bump gently against the side of Pidge's head. She doesn't seem to mind.]

Okay! So there is a lot of really cool stuff on this planet, and I'm pretty sure I can work with it all. Check this out-

[Still beaming, she crouches down by the pile and starts picking at some of the stuff she's found. She goes through them all methodically, picking one item up and raising it for the camera to see before giving a brief explanation of what it is and what she can use it for. She does this for a while, one by one, but eventually she stops when both the mouse droid and the caterpillar start nudging into her sides.]

Fine, I'll wrap it up. Just- If anyone has a tech project in mind, just let me know. I'm basically gonna be planetside for as long as we're here, I think. There's a lot of awesome potential around here!

[Still, Pidge looks uncomfortable, lips pressing into a tight line and gaze moving somewhere offscreen.]

...Yeah, I-- I'd rather hear about what you've found around here.

[It's not even that any of it is really a secret. It's just... private. Personal. No offense, elfin fantasy man.]

[abracafcku]

[With a shrug, he relents because as much as he likes gossip, he also knows what it's like to want to keep his business to himself. Instead, he fumbles with the device and changes the voice to video so Pidge can see the extent of the stuff he's claimed.

Every inch of his room is decorated despite only just arriving. Most of the walls have sashes or beaded curtains hung up, and in every available space he's shoved either clothes or pillows or knick-knacks.]

All this basically. I've been busy. Plus a waffle maker, something called a "blender" which is just hideous to look at, and enough metal to transmute our ship's interior. But that's the cargo hold until I rest enough to do that spell.

And this thing.

[He holds up a TV remote control.]

I have no idea why it has this many buttons though. They don't do jack shit.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge watches as the guy shows his space off, her eyes moving from item to item to item. She can't help but look amused when he brings up the blender and the remote control; if nothing else, the guy does seem interested in different kinds of tech.]

Blenders are for processing food, taking larger pieces of food and reducing them to something a little more... [What's the word. Mashed? Puree'd? No, no, go simpler.] ...liquid-y.

And that's a remote control for a television. It won't work on its own, it has to be calibrated to a television set first.

[abracafcku]

[He's interested in a lot of things, but especially those useful to him. The blender was definitely useful and he'll be putting that to use soon, but the television thing? It's his catchphrase and now he's all ears, peering into the device at Pidge.]

So this is going to sound dumb, but what is a television? I've been saying I'm Taako from TV for years, but that's because I did a freaking successful traveling show.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge grins.] That doesn't sound dumb at all. [She expects questions like that from people who are from fantasy-like worlds, after all.]

Television is a telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images in two or three dimensions and with sound to other people. Technically the term can refer to a television set, a television program - a TV show, like a play that's been filmed with a camera - or the medium of television transmission itself. But a television set is a device that combines a tuner, display, and loudspeakers for the purpose of allowing people to watch television. So like- Right now, you know the whole deal with the Drift Fleet, right? That we're all supposedly on a reality show?

[abracafcku]

[Huh.

That.

Hm.

That sounds like stuff Lucas (Luka? Lucha? What was his name? Eh didn't matter) would be into. And if an image and doing could be picked up and sent anywhere, that is something Taako is interested in. It definitely made this "reality show" business seem a lot more logical. He'd been wondering if they were being broadcast to a secondary plane or something, but this makes more sense.

The problem being?]

Mmhmmm, got it, got it, cool. So we're a TV show, cool - just one question then?

Where are the cameras we're supposed to be recorded with?
