Video | Early Morning

Oh, how interesting! [Someone has been poking around with her new phone. And accidentally pressed too many buttons, turning on the video function without realizing. Have a very-too-close close-up of her face! Also, like someone read any of the pamphlets or anything. She doesn't even realize one has money in it.]

I guess this is how this works. You know, for all I've spent trying to fix the Eluvian I have back home, I never really gave much thought about how it would work. And there isn't anyone around I can ask either, not like here. Not that there could be, just it would be nice. Still, the surface is so pretty! How does it manage to reflect anything...

[She will finally lean away from the communicator, laughing awkwardly.]

Hah, oops. I'm rambling. I always ramble when I'm nervous. I don't mean to, it just happens. I'll just...stop talking now. Yes.

[She fumbles with the communicator, eventually dropping it and the fall turning it off.]

Action | Throughout the Day

[Why anyone thought it would be a good idea to let Merrill wander around any of the cities unaccompanied or without some string to find her way is anyone's guess. She did pick up a map and she can be found throughout Genessia and other cities staring at it; sometimes it's upside down, sometimes she's not even looking at the map side of it. Yeah.]

How odd. No matter where I go, it always says that I'm "right here". But I know I haven't seen that street a second time. Unless I have and the bushes are moving on me. Can they do that here?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Tracer initially responds because of the familiar accent. She misses England, and Merril's accent sounds so much like home. However, after taking in the message, and everything, she finds herself far more intrigued than homesick.]

Oooh, I love your tattoos, love. ...And what's an ill-oovy-ann?

[Her reply is delayed by a few minutes as she has to pick up her phone again and turn it on. But she does get it working again!]

Thank you!

And the Eluvian? It's a ancient mirror I tried to fix. But these phone things work so much better! At least, I think they do. As I said, I couldn't get it fixed so it's not like I can compare.

Oooh, an ancient mirror that acts like phones? That sounds like something straight out of a fairy tale!

[And judging by Tracer's enthusiasm, she's more than willing to hear more about it.]

Not a fairy tale, no. Ancient history, maybe. Fairy tales would have had more griffins and instructions on how to use Eluvians. Or even a small history of their use, but no one saved any of it.

No such thing as magic in my world, love. So yeah, it's like a fairy tale to me. No offense, or anything just... It sounds so fantastical.

But... Isn't that just so boring? [Trying to imagine a world without magic is really hard for her.]

Who does healing or manages the demons in your world, then?

Trust me, love. It's anything but. We don't have magic, but we've got some pretty impressive technology. I've fought alongside a guy that uses special sound waves to trick the brain into healing wounds faster, or even creating force-fields out of sound waves. It may not be magic, but it's far from borin'.

I've never heard of technology being able to do that!

[She's genuinely excited about this. One of the drawbacks of coming from a low-tech world.]

How does it all work? I've never heard of "sound waves," was it? It sounds so fascinating! You humans come up with some amazing things. Oh, sorry! You don't have to answer any of that. Unless you know about it, then it'd be nice to hear.

I dunno how the tech actually works, but sound is something I do know!

[Jet pilots were rather intimate with the sound barrier after all.]

See, sound is basically vibrations going through the air in waves. That's how these phone devices work, they detect the vibrations in the air, and then replicate it on the other end.

Apparently Lucio's gear uses unique vibrations that our ears pick up on, and cause a chain reaction through the body to help it heal injuries faster. Dunno how, but it's a real life saver.
