001 - video; Backdated to day 401

[As she takes a look at her bracelet, Cynthia tilts it up towards her face -- big, wide silver eyes blink, she taps it. She's not even really sure if it's working. It's worth a shot, isn't it? She's an optimistic person, after all. She gives a gentle smile.]

They really didn't explain how this would work. I really hope it does. I apologize, I don't mean to be a burden, but I was hoping if someone could help me! The woman who handed me this piece of paper and bracelet didn't explain what was going on outside of a war.

[She really can't get a break, can she?]

Could someone please help me find a person named "Heimdall"? I'm assuming that's who I speak to; it stated on the paper I'm assigned to that district. I want to see to it that my services go to the right place, after all.

[OOC; Herp. I just realized I meant to backdate this before the event and she's chatty.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I know where Heimdall District is.

[He's resourceful.]

[And Cynthia is still sufficiently confused.]

Well, if this isn't some sort of tricky dream and I am apart of some sort of war and deployment, I want to know what my post is and where I should be.

I was similarly not given clear instructions. It appears no one has been.

No one? Are you sure?

[How do you fight a war without a set up? Cynthia's ready to go.]

So I have inferred from those I spoke to and the network. I believe we are expected to wait.

That is all that I know.

...? Was there more?

[He gives her a moment or two to finish that sentence, first.]

More of what?

[Her demeanor quickly changes, just a flash.]

I suppose I'm curious, that's all. I've only gotten just a fraction of what is here. Restoring color.

I may be away from my friends and comrades, but I would like to use the full extent of my experience here, too.

Restoring color to the native peoples through the intensity of our emotions. Feelings... spread.

[Like the common cold, only... pleasant.]

But they have drawn us in at random and I am ill-equipped to help in this manner.

[Also, he can't see any color that isn't a shade of blue. What does he know?]

Ah.

[That's a bit much for her to wrap her mind around emotions spreading color? How does that work? Especially when she restricts herself already.]

What sort of skills do you have, September?

[For someone who needs to catch a few more 'colors', it's surprisingly easy to grasp. He gets it, it's been happening to him and his team for months.]

I am... a historian and an engineer, among other things. I have some knowledge of defense and weaponry as it will be in my time, but I doubt the things I am familiar with will function properly.

... Do you not have a weapon?

[Asks the woman with a large broadsword.]

I have not tested it.

[He hopes it works, it's less deadly than a sword or a regular gun.]

Oh? What is it?

My preferred firearm utilizes sonic technology to fire a burst of compressed air. It is not generally fatal.

...

[WHAT.]

I... I'm afraid I don't follow. Or know what that is.

[He tilts his head at the camera, predictably.]

A gun.

[She tilts her head right back.]

I've never heard of a 'gun" before.

[Naturally, the only response is to pull it out of his suit's jacket and show her.]

This is a gun.

[Your average, everyday pistol, on the outside.]

...? What does it do?

[Cynthia is intrigued!]

This one fires a burst of air that will knock the average individual to the ground and perhaps unconscious as well.

...

[Really, she's trying to wrap her mind around that. How can a burst of air do that?]

How does it conjure a burst of air?

[To explain futuristic tech or not... Not. He's putting it away.]

Irrelevant. It would take a significant amount of time to explain.

That sounds far too complex compared to a sword or even a crossbow.

[HOW????]

It is analogous to the crossbow, not the sword. You are correct that it is much more complex.
