Mécanisme 008 [Video]

[The screen is dark at first, but there is a soft rattle and whirring sound until suddenly a flickering light reveals a pattern on a nearby wall. Light being made through an old-style film projector as a film strip passes through with a childishly drawn ghost drawn from cell to cell mostly just floating in a blob-like manner until it goes from one side of the screen until the other and says 'BOO' in sketchy silent-film writing.

Then the short strip of film ends, but Hugo, behind the projector, and off-screen, is left laughing as he stares happily at the now white wall of his makeshift old time movie theater.]

It worked!

Oh, that's wonderful! It's as if the pictures were alive.

[ Tessa might be from a bit before movies. ]

It is a movie

[Hugo smiles, handling a few strips of celluloid film]

Well...sort of. Not a very good one.

I would say it's very well done.

A movie. Is it some sort of magic?

[ It's totes magic. ]

[Honestly, he does not see how this is something that 'worked'.

Was he trying to scare people?]

The hell? Is that supposed to be scary or something?

[Hugo frowns]

No...

[Then looks a bit angry]

The projector is what worked. I built it.

[Oh wow. That face.

He backs off a bit, away from the video.]

Projector? What's it supposed to do?

[For someone who didn't get the memo about moving pictures.]

You made a movie!

[Jamie looks impressed.]

[Hugo smiles]

You know what movies are?

[He nods.]

Yeah! They're really popular where I'm from.

[Dany looks at the boy in confusion.]

What is that kind of device?

It is called a film projector. They're for showing movies.

Movies? I have never heard of such a thing before...

[ Low whistle. ]

Did you do that all on your own?

[Hugo nodsa bit proudly]

I've been working on it for a long time.

[ As he should be. More than a bit, even. Very proud. ]

It's amazing.

Wow. Terrifying ghost there.

[ sarcasm!! okay putting aside the fact that it was a drawing of a cartoon ghost for a second- ]

What's this for?

The ghost isn't the point [Hugo's annoyance might come through. Why do so many people not get it?] Nor is scaring people.

It is the machine. I built it.

[ nico shrugs. ] Well that's usually what people use ghosts for. [ and he's just a little sensitive about ghosts. now that it's been pointed out to him, he does focus more on the machine. ]

...Where'd you find the parts for it?

[There's a chuckle and a smiling face at that lovely little cartoon. It was so cute!]

Oh wow, how clever! Did you make that little movie yourself?

[Hugo nods, half smiling]

Yeah. To test the projector.

It's very good! I can't do anything like that, so you must be quite handy.

My name is Jane Crocker, what's yours?

[Loras squints at the screen.]

Is that magic?

It is a machine... but it is a kind of magic, i think.

[Well. Clara can't help but applaud for something like that.]

Creative, and perfect for the season. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

[And here are said two enthusiastic thumbs up, followed by a soft laugh.]

Mind sharing a bit of your secret on how you did it? Or is this one of those things like a magician, the secrets have to stay hidden?

[Hugo smiles bashfully]

You like it?

[He shifts to grab for a few of his celluloid film strips]

I believe it is magic...but I am no magician.... [He holds them up] I used these
